the table in the "DOWN" position by tighten-
ing the knob on the pedestal base. Place the
separate berth cushion on the tabletop to
complete the berth conversion.
Lower the table to the berth position when-
ever the boat is run offshore or in heavy sea
conditions to prevent damage to the pedes-
tal assembly.
8.5 Carbon Monoxide Detector
The Safety chapter in this manual contains
important information on carbon monoxide
and the carbon monoxide detector. Read the
section entitled "Carbon Monoxide" in the
Safety chapter of this Owner's Manual.
8.6 Air Conditioner (Optional)
A reverse cycle air conditioner operates in
either cooling or heating modes. The ther-
mostatically controlled cabin air conditioner
is located in the storage compartment under
the V-berth, protected by a breaker in the AC
breaker panel. To operate, turn the air condi-
tioner breaker to the "ON" position.
The cold air return is located under the V-
berth. Do not obstruct this area for maximum
efficiency of the air conditioning unit. To
avoid damage to the air conditioning unit, do
not store items in this compartment.
Air Conditioning Control Panel
The air conditioner is self-contained and
seawater cooled. The cooling pump supplies
seawater to the unit cools the condensing
unit, discharging excess moisture over-
board. The pump is located below the water-
line in the aft mechanical space.
Seawater comes to the pump from a thru-
hull fitting located in the hull near the pump.
A sea strainer between the pump and thru-
hull fitting protects the system from contami-
nants that can damage the pump or the air
conditioning system. Make sure the seawa-
ter pump receives adequate seawater by
periodically cleaning the sea strainer basket.
Air locks can occur in the cooling pump
water supply at the time of launch. If your
boat has been recently launched and water
is not flowing from the overboard thru-hull
when the air conditioner is activated, purge
air from the system.
To do this, make sure the valve at the cool-
ing pump intake thru-hull is open. Run the
boat at cruising speed for several minutes. A
scoop attached to the intake thru-hull fitting
will pressurize the system and force the air
through the pump. See the air conditioner
owner's manual for additional operating and
maintenance instructions.
8.7 Audio and Video Systems
Stereo
The stereo is located in the cabin. An iPod®/
MP3 USB input jack is included with the ste-
reo. An optional satellite radio system made
up of a receiver and an antenna installed on
the hard top is available. The satellite
!
CAUTION
Air conditioners use surface water as
a cooling medium. The boat must be
in the water and the raw water supply
system properly activated prior to
use. Operating without proper cooling
can cause the air conditioning circuit
breaker to trip and cause system dam-
age. Always check for proper water
flow out of the air conditioning pump
discharge thru-hull when the air con-
ditioner is operating.
