Mooring Cans
Ohana
is bigger than State rules allow for mooring to Washington Parks buoys.
BARBECUE
The BARBECUE is permanently mounted on the aft cockpit rail. Open the hatch on the swimstep locker to
access the propane tank. Attach hose to the barbecue, ignite, and bon appetite! Please wipe up any spillage
around the barbecue to prevent soiling the cockpit or swimstep. Shut propane off and disconnect hose after
use.
Ensure gasoline and flammable materials are not near the barbecue.
DINGHY & OUTBOARD MOTOR
Your Walker Bay 325 Supertender DINGHY with a 30hp Tohatsu 4 stroke engine is stored on the upper
deck aft. It has a capacity of about 950 pounds (motor, equipment, and 5 people). Please be careful as you
near shore so that the lower unit or propeller of the motor does not hit the bottom. You are better off
stopping and raising the motor early and paddling the last few yards to the beach.
Ohana
has a high quality electric davit to raise and lower the dingy. To launch:
1)
Plug the davit control into the receptacle on the davit base. The control is kept in the locker
under the front of the bridge chair.
2)
Remove the dingy cover and store under seats in the upper deck salon.
3)
Remove tie downs and store with cover.
4)
Carefully slack the davit lift line down so the head knocker (line weight) can be detached from
the deck fitting. Swing the davit hook back to the boat and snap onto lifting harness ring.
5)
With help from another person (or two) to steady it, lift the dingy and use the bowline and a stern
line to control the dingy as it is swung out over the side. Be particularly attentive to swells or
boat wakes during this process as they can cause the dingy to swing as it is launched. Using the
bow and stern lines to control the dingy is the best way to be safe.
6)
Once the dingy is in the water, detach the lifting hook, be careful with the head knocker as you
raise the hook, and reattach it to the fitting in the deck, take the slack out of the lifting line.
To retrieve the dingy, reverse the above procedure. Be sure to reconnect the tie downs from dingy to
chocks.
Towing your dingy is a recipe for problems. Please load the dingy whenever you plan to travel.
When fueling the dingy remember the motor is a 4 stroke and uses straight gas. DO NOT USE GAS WITH
OIL IN IT. Whenever possible, purchase ethanol free gasoline for the dinghy engine.
