BBQ is at left on flybridge; its propane is under seat at right.
The bilge pump main breakers (in red square) are on the battery switch panel by the stateroom steps.
4B: Barbeque
Morveren carries a propane barbecue which is
located in the refreshment center cabinet to starboard
at the top of the steps from the pilothouse to the
flybridge. It’s propane tank is under the port forward
flybridge seat.
To operate the barbecue:
1. Be sure the propane tank valve is on;
2. Open valve on barbecue at hose
connection.
3. Press the igniter button or use a butane
match to light the grill.
4C: Bilge Blowers
The boat has bilge blowers controlled by a switch in the DC breaker pane at the lower
helm. These blowers are not generally needed in the cooler climates of the Northwest; they
would be used in hot weather such as in southern latitudes, or to moderately cool the engine
room when an operator has to be in it when the engines are, or have been recently running.
4D: Bilge Pumps
The boat has four
electric bilge pumps, one
in each bilge area. Each
receives power from a
breaker on the battery
switch panel by the aft
stateroom steps.
Each pump itself
is controlled by a “mode”
switch in the “12 Volt DC”
panel by the aft
stateroom steps.
Each switch in the breaker is labeled “Auto”, or
“Manual”, and these switches should be left in the “Auto”
position.
When in “Auto”, the pump is controlled by its float switch.
When set to “Manual”, the pump is running without regard to the
float switch. This is used by the operator to check the bilges, to drain
water below the range of the float switch, and to bypass the switch in
case it is defective.
Bilge pump control switches.
