BELOW DECK FEATURES & EQUIPMENT
2.1 SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Familiarize yourself with the safety equipment found in the cabin. A smoke alarm
and carbon monoxide alarm are located on the headliner in the master stateroom,
VIP stateroom, and optional third stateroom. Fire extinguishers are located in the
master stateroom forward storage cabinet, in the VIP stateroom starboard hang-
ing locker, inside the optional third stateroom and in the galley aft port storage
compartment. There is also a fire extinguisher located below the seat cushion of
the aft-facing starboard companion seat in the aft cockpit.
THE CARBON MONOXIDE MONITORING SYSTEM IS ONLY A SUPPLE-
MENTAL SAFETY AID. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRO-
CEDURES FOUND IN THIS MANUAL. CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LE-
THAL, TOXIC GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH AT CERTAIN LEVELS.
WARNING
!
A deck escape hatch is located in the middle of the VIP stateroom headliner. To
open, disengage the two locking levers and push up. Slide the berths together to
use the hatch as an emergency exit.
2.2 ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
In order to operate any of your boat’s electrical components, the associated
breaker needs to be in the ON position (or pushed to reset). Breakers are located
on the AC Distribution Panel and DC Distribution Panel beneath the starboard
salon loveseat. To access, lift the inboard edge of the loveseat cushion to raise
the seat up, then raise the panel cover. Refer to the component user manuals
for more information.
All the outlets are GFCI protected; to test or reset the GFCI protection, use the
TEST or RESET buttons on the outlets beneath the starboard salon loveseat.
