Microwave
The shore power must be connected or the generator must be on order to use the microwave. To
supply power to the microwave, place the “Microwave” switch on the AC panel in the “on” position.
A foam block has been provided to protect the glass platter inside the microwave when the boat is in
motion. Ensure this block is in place when the microwave is not in use — remove before operation.
Refer to the microwave owner’s manual in your Owner’s Packet for specific instructions on the safe
and proper use of the microwave.
Outlets
Current is provided to the outlets by the generator or shore power. The outlets are ground fault
protected and will operate any standard household appliance (i.e. blender, coffee maker). However,
the total combined amperage, in addition to other AC accessories, must not overload the boat’s
generator output. The outlets are located at the helm station below the starboard deckwing insert,
in the port cabin on the aft side of the seating, and in the starboard cabin below the microwave. If
the ground fault is tripped, it may be reset by pushing the button on the outlet in the port cabin.
Port Cabin Sliding Berth
The port cabin seating can be converted into a berth by extending an electronically operated
cushion to form a platform for sleeping. The switch for this cushion is located at the entrance of the
port cabin.
Port Helm Table
The port helm table is removable so that it may be stored to increase helm space. It is intended
for lightweight objects only such as drinks and food items. Storage for the table and leg is provided
in the compartment below the helm floor.
C A U T I O N
Max load = 20 pounds (9.2 kg). Table collapse resulting in injury may occur if maxload is
exceeded.
Power Assist Hydraulic Steering
The engine ignition switches must be on for this system to function. The power assist hydraulic
pump is activated simply by turning the steering wheel. The hydraulic pump senses the motion of
the hydraulic fluid from the helm and pumps fluid in the cylinders at the engines accordingly. The
power assist pump is installed in the aft rigging compartment. Over-current protection is provided
by a 50A fuse located on the positive terminal of battery bank #2. This system is compatible with
multiple steering stations and the use of an autopilot. Refer to the power assist owner’s manual in
your Owner’s Packet for more information.
