pump.”
2.
Listen carefully for macerator’s operation. When pitch of motor goes high,
discontinue operation.

GALLEY
A. STOVE TOP
The stove top is powered by the breaker on the 110volt panel. You must have at least 30
amp shore power and limited other 110v use, or the generator running to operate the
stove top. Boiling water for crabs can be done on the stove top but is very slow. For
crabs, the propane grill is a better option and is used outside, avoiding steamed up
windows.
B. CONVECTION MICROWAVE
The convection microwave is connected to the power inverter. An instruction card for
use is in a galley drawer. Do not use the microwave for extended cooking while on power
inverter. Any convection cooking more than 15 minutes should be done while connected
to shore power or running generator, or you may run down the inverter batteries.
Coffee Maker, waffle iron, toaster, and other electrical appliances may be plugged into
the power outlets in the galley that are powered by the battery inverter
.
Use care when
using multiple devices simultaneously
as the breaker may pop or inverter power may
turn off due to over draining.
Galley Crew Note
: The coffee maker uses one coffee measure of coffee for each 2 cups
of water shown on the coffee maker for “Seattle Standard Coffee”; moderately heavy
coffee.
The sink has an instant-hot water tap and a garbage disposal. Switch for the garbage
disposal is forward of the sink. Note the sink discharges directly into the water.
C. Refrigerator
Freezer
The Sea-Freeze refrigerator freezer is
12V only and runs off the house batteries
. It has
a remote compressor located in the fly bridge helm storage area. The refrigerator will
take 8-12 hours to fully cool down when first turned on.
