anchor  from  unexpectedly  returning  to  the  sea  bottom.    Close  the  covers  on  the  FOOT  PEDAL 
CONTROLS.  
 

A SPARE ANCHOR is stowed in the starboard side lazerette.    
 

Mooring Cans 

The  State  Park  Sticker  on  your  vessel  allows  you  to  pick  up  the  MOORING  CANS  in  the  parks  for  free.  
You only need to register at the kiosk usually located at the heads of the docks.  Mooring cans have a metal 
triangle at the top upon which is a metal ring.  The metal ring is attached to the chain which secures your 
boat.  IT IS VERY HEAVY.  The strongest member of your crew should be picked for this job. 
 
Come up to the CAN into the wind as you would for anchoring.  Have crew members on the bow, one with a 
boat  hook  and  one  with  a mooring  line  secured  like  a  bow  line.    As  you  are  coming  slowly  up  to  the  can  
have the crew holding the boat hook point at the can  with the hook so the skipper always knows where it is. 
Hook  the  can  and  bring  the  ring  up  to  the  boat  to  allow  the  second  crew  to  thread  the  ring  with  the  line.  
Release the hold with the boat hook.  If your mooring line is led out the starboard chock bring the end of the 
line back through the port side.  You will essentially create a bridle with about 10 feet of slack from the chalk 
to the can.  
 
 
 
 
 
 

BARBECUE 

 

The BARBECUE is mounted on the aft port side rail. Carefully remove the cover from the barbeque to make 
sure it does not slip overboard.  

 

Attach  a  PROPANE  BOTTLE  to  the  REGULATOR  found  on  right  side  of  Barbecue.    Carefully  light  the 
unit, preferably with the long stem butane lighter provided.  The barbecue generates a lot of heat and cooks 
hot and fast. 
 
As a courtesy to the next guests, please use the wire brush to clean the BBQ after each use.  The wire brush is 
stowed in the port side aft cabinet along with the BBQ tools. 

Note:  Propane  bottles  are  not  stocked  by  SHYC  you  will  need  to  purchase  one  if  extras  are  not  found  on 
board. 
 

Caution  --  For  safety  reasons,  do  not  store  an  opened  propane  bottle  within  the  salon  or  engine 
compartment.    Chances  are  these  will  leak  slightly  once  opened  and  propane  gas  could  settle  into  low 
spaces.  Store these bottles in the cockpit cabinet.  Ensure flammable materials are not near the barbecue

 

 

WALKER BAY DINGHY & HONDA OUTBOARD MOTOR 

 

ZUMA  has  a  Walker  Bay  Genesis  340  DINGHY  with  a  20-hp  Honda  engine  stored  on  an  electric  davit 
system above swim platform.  The control for the electrical davit is located in the carry bag hanging from a
