and anchor before they reach the deck. If the chain tightens and starts to bog down the Windlass,
wait until the boat catches up, and then continue
. Don’t drag the boat with the windless. Use
intermittent forward thrust.
When the anchor is clear of the water make sure it is clean of mud
and seaweed. A boat brush and spray nozzle may be used to assist in this task.
Be careful for the last couple feet to
make sure the anchor is facing the proper direction
. Use
short bursts on the windless as the anchor comes aboard.
Reinsert the clip to secure the anchor in the bow roller.
Release the tension on the chain slightly to take the strain off the Windlass.
Hook the spray nozzle on a line holder on the starboard forward deck rail. Remember to shut off
the seawater wash-down break
STERN REEL
There is 600’ of line that can be used for a stern tie off to an object on shore. Use the tender to
take the line ashore and loop around your tie off ring or tree, etc. Bring the end of the line back to
Mariah and tie it to a cleat. Pull some extra line from the reel and tie it to a cleat
. CAUTION:
The reel is not designed to tie directly to shore.
THE TENDER
LAUNCHING THE TENDER FROM THE DAVIT SYSTEM
1.
The Swim platform Davit system is our preferred choice for launching the tender. We
prefer it because it’s a one-person operation and allows us unrestricted use of the upper
boat deck for lounging, and entertaining in the sunshine.
2.
The tender is an Aldura 11 foot all aluminum tube style boat. It is virtually unsinkable!
It can handle a maximum of four people for a sight-seeing cruise or can be used for a
variety of activities for two people including fishing, crabbing, and gathering other meals
from the sea. A 30 HP Evinrude ETEC two stroke motor with electric start and trim,
power the tender. There are two Scotty electric down rigger mounts for fishing. The
tender is also equipped with the following... A fish finder/depth sounder/chart plotter,
(stored in the Bose entertainment cabinet), running lights, storage compartments under
each seat, built in fuel tank, bilge pump, anchor, and a helm station. The Evenrude
outboard uses straight gas from the fuel tank, (NO OIL PRE-MIX). Oil is automatically
injected into the fuel for the proper mix ratio. There is an oil reservoir under the engine
cover should you need to add oil. Normally the oil will be serviced prior to your charter
and will be sufficient for about 25 gallons of fuel burn. A low oil light on the tachometer
will illuminate when oil needs to be added. Special Evinrude 2 cycle oil is stored in the
spare fluids bin in the forward area of the engine room, and 1QT is under the forward
tender seat.
3.
To launch the tender:
•
Remove the canvas cover (if installed) by releasing the snaps all around the
underside of the rub rail. It is safe to get into the tender while it is in the transport
