ELDEAN OPERATING MANUAL
NW Explorations
In addition to the Cablemaster system, there are shore power connections (with
an adjacent fuse holder) at both the bow and stern, all selected by the shore
power switch in the electric panel. When any cable is to be disconnected from
shore, the switch should first be turned to the “off” position to avoid arcing which
could damage the plug contacts. The boat’s cables all stay with the boat when it
is away from its home dock.
Up on the set of steps from the cockpit and through a translucent sliding hatch is
the flybridge, with seating for crew and passengers, and the upper helm station.
In addition to the helm’s instruments and controls, the console has storage
beneath. A unique electronics console rotates down for protection of the
electronic equipment from weather.
There is access to the ships navigation,
radar, sounder, and engine systems.
An L-shaped seat aft plus a pair of
helm seats provide seating for up to six
passengers without the portable chairs.
The crane with the dinghy is aft to
starboard, while the hatch from the
cockpit is aft to port with a seat just
forward of it.
Within the storage compartments
beneath the flybridge seats are a
complement of life jackets.
