Turning off the Vessel:
1.
Ensure the vessel’s engine room blowers are on prior to slowing down the vessel to
enter into the marina or bay. When the vessel is safely and secured at a dock or the
anchor, press the buttons on the left hand of the steering wheel. Move the main
electrical panel located in the salon. Turn the two keys to the off position. The
buzzer noise should turn off. The engine room blowers shall remain on for a
minimum of five minutes, but not longer than 15 minutes.
Aft and Bow Thrusters:
1.
The vessel is equipped with both bow and aft thrusters. The control system is
located on the upper right hand of the dash. Dock on Command – in a shape of a
boat hull. Turn on by holder the two buttons at the same time. The system will turn
off after five minutes with no use, so be aware of the elapse time as you travel into
the marina! I make it a practice to make sure it is turned on every three minutes.
When you need them, use them! Please do not use the thrusters for more than one
minute at a time. Can burnout and are expensive – they are not a toy for the kids!
GPS and Depth Sounder:
Do not operate the vessel in water less than 10’ of depth
1.
Turn on the GPS breaker on the right hand breaker line up.
2.
Remove the plastic cover and store in the small dash locker.
3.
Press the power button on the GPS unit.
4.
Press the exit button two times and the unit should pick up the current position of
the vessel. The unit is accurate within 3 yards. In order for the vessel to be located
in the middle of the screen, push the exit button and it should return the pre‐set
screen set up.
5.
An alarm will sound if you enter water less than 10 feet in depth. You can silent the
alarm manually or once you enter into water deeper than 10 feet.
VHF:
1.
On the right hand side of the captain, the VHF is located. While underway, keep the
VHF on channel 16 and use in it only in case of emergency.
2.
Several marina VHF channels are found on a laminated sheet in the small locker on
the dash. Call the marina for slip assignments and help via their VHF channel.
3.
Press the red button on the VHF in case of an emergency. It will send out an
emergency call and send your latitude and longitude location to various agencies.
Zipper Windows:
bimini system
1.
Lower, roll up and used snap straps to open up the windows around the upper helm
and lower outside deck.
2.
NOTE – In windy conditions, open all of the windows to allow the air to travel thru
the helm and reduce the surface area for the wind to push the boat sideways when
maneuvering the vessel.
