switch. If there are no illuminated lights in the switch when pressed, ensure the (red
rocker power switch) on the upper starboard side of the generator unit is turned on. (That
switch can easily be pushed off inadvertently when moving about near the generator). If
the engine fails to start with the first attempt, be sure that it has stopped completely
before re-engaging.
Do not crank the starter for more than 20 seconds consecutively. If
the engine fails to start, consult the Operator’s Manual under the tip up instrument panel
in the pilot house.
NOTE:
If the generator start circuit is completely inoperable it is most likely because
the ON/OFF switch and/or the generator breaker is off. They are both located on the
generator itself in the engine room. These switches can easily be bumped when in the
engine room and will completely cut power to the starting circuit.
2.
Let the engine run for 2 minutes to warm-up before adding an electrical load.
3.
After the warm-up period, turn ON the generator circuit breaker at the SHORE POWER
OR GENERATOR distribution panel on the upper left side of the AC panel. Slide the
blocking panel up, and then move the generator circuit breaker to the ON position. Note:
The blocking panel will not allow you to engage the generator unless AC Shore power
breaker is first turned off.
4.
Select the desired circuits which you want the generator to operate and move them to the
ON position.
Note: The
Inverter and Battery Charge breakers need to be ON to charge the batteries.
Beware, the breakers may trip if using too many high amp appliances in the galley. The
toaster and coffee maker together may trip the breaker and terminate battery charging
even when the generator is still running. Check the breakers from time to time when
operating galley appliances.
5.
Monitor the generator control panel for any faults that may occur and are indicated by a
series of flashes in the switch.
6.
To shut down the generator
7.
Remove the electrical load –Turn OFF the generator circuit breakers at the
SHOREPOWER OR GENERATOR distribution panel at the upper left side of the AC
panel.
8.
Run the generator 2 minutes to cool down.
9.
Push the lower rocker switch down to the STOP position.
Note: you will need to start the generator if you want to use the dryer as it requires 220
volt power. The washer will work with shore power or the generator.
TOILETS
Mariah has two toilets commonly referred to as “heads” in the marine world. Each head has its
own enclosed shower, vanity, and sink. One is located in the master stateroom and the other
across the passageway from the guest stateroom. Both heads use a VACUFLUSH freshwater
system, which helps to eliminate odors often emanating from salt-water toilets. The
VACUFLUSH system flushes into a 45gallon-holding tank. The holding tank can be emptied at a
pump-out station, or can be pumped overboard through a macerator pump, and a seacock in the
bottom of the hull, (if you are in a legal zone to do so).
USING THE HEAD

In the head, there are 2 panels on the lower cabinet:
