Wash down hose
The wash down hose is located on the port transom. The switch should be left in
the “off” position unless you are actively using it. If this pump is left “on” and a
leak develops, you could potentially sink the boat.
Marine Head
The marine toilet uses seawater from the wash down pump to flush. Be sure that
the pump is on. A holding tank is located under the unit and is pumped out through
a macerator pump (when three nautical miles offshore), or through a deck fitting.
Never allow baby wipes, paper towels, or other objects to be flushed into the tank.
The macerator pump will plug
and you will be charged a steep cleaning fee.
It is
your responsibility to return it as found (Clean!).
Power
Electrical power on this vessel is provided by two 12volt marine batteries. A
battery switch controls which bank is used. Always reserve one battery for
emergency starting and run on “both” occasionally to charge both batteries.
Pot Puller
The shrimp pot puller is of electric capstan design. It is operated by a foot switch
kept in the boat’s gunnel, under the unit. There is an automatic resetting breaker
located near the puller’s connection to the battery.
Heater
A Wallas diesel fired heater provides both head and a cooking stove. Instructions
are posted above the heater. Follow the directions closely.
Raft
A raft is onboard for shore excursions. Take care in where you land the raft as
sharp rocks and barnacles will puncture the raft. You are responsible for damage to
the raft. Always wear a life jacket and be prepared while ashore. Remember to take
