HELE MAI OPERATING MANUAL
NW Explorations
1B6: Dinghy & Davit
The boat is equipped with a 12-foot,
center console Bullfrog tender which is a
rigid-hull boat and is fitted with a
Honda 30 horsepower two-cycle
electric start-and-tilt outboard
motor and portable fuel tank. For
environmental considerations and
easy fueling, the motor uses direct oil
injection;
you do not mix oil with the
fuel, but you should be sure the lube
oil tank on the front of the engine is
topped off before use
.
The dinghy has a fixed center
wheel and upholstered aft seat and
removable forward seat. It is equipped with an electric bilge pump, built-in
fuel tank, automatic bilge pump, VHF, and Fish Finder.
The davit system uses a steel mast to hoist the dinghy, using a hoist winch
operated by a control that plugs in when needed. The control is stowed in
the helm console cabinet to port of the helm. The battery switch located
under the aft salon seat must be on.
See page 24, regarding water in the dinghy’s bilge!
