seacocks, coolant, engine oil and drive oil. (See Daily Engine Check, page 6.) Look for loose belts,
wires, oil drips and bilge water.
☐
Check
SEAKEEPER
and
AIR CONDITIONING
raw water strainers.
Get Set
☐
Turn off the
SHORE 1
and
SHORE 2

Start the
SEAKEEPER.
(See page 29.)
2. If don’t plan to use the GENERATOR underway, t
urn on
the INVERTER/CHARGER

, e
nsure at least 12.2V. Turn
on TRIM TABS, ELECTRONICS,
HORN, WIPERS

At the top of the Raymarine screen (if set up) drag down the supplementary data bar showing RPM,
coolant temperature, oil pressure, drive oil pressure and nmpg fuel efficiency.
If voltage is too low to crank the engines, see Starting with Low Batteries , page 38.
If the battery is low, you should not leave the dock until you diagnose and correct the
problem.
☐
Check the Plexiglas top of the raw water strainers above the engines to ensure that raw water is

If everything is in order, cast off dock lines. When maneuvering with the
IPS JOYSTICK
, a light touch
(taps and nudges) on the joystick is usually the most effective.
Confirm that no one is on the foredeck or in the water.
