Chapter 5

OPERATING YOUR BOAT

This chapter describes the basic operation of your boat. Before operating any

Tiara for the first time, review the proper safe operation of all features and systems

with your Tiara Yachts dealer.

BEFORE LEAVING THE DOCK, REVIEW THE PROPER SAFE OPERA-

TION OF ALL FEATURES AND SYSTEMS ON THE BOAT. IMPROPER

OPERATION OR UNSAFE PRACTICES COULD RESULT IN SEVERE

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING

5.1 WHEN ARRIVING AT YOUR BOAT

Before taking your boat out, follow these operating preparation instructions:

Press ON the 12V DC main battery buttons: PORT BATTERY, STBD BAT

TERY, and HOUSE BATTERY, on the Power Control Panel in the galley

peninsula cabinet. These main battery buttons remotely turn ON the bat

tery switches in the engine room.

Switch ON all breakers on the Master DC Panel in the engine room,

except the OIL CHANGE PUMP breaker if installed. The OIL CHANGE

PUMP breaker should remain OFF unless using the oil change pump.

Note: Boats with Cummins

engines do not have a separate OIL CHANGE

PUMP breaker if the optional oil changer is installed.

Switch ON all breakers

(except the WASTE PUMPOUT breaker, if in-

stalled)

on the DC Distribution Panel, located beneath the starboard salon

loveseat.

If installed, the WASTE PUMPOUT breaker must remain OFF

at all times unless using the optional overboard waste discharge

macerator system.

Check the condition of your batteries using the system monitors on the

Power Control Panel. For 12V batteries, voltages below 12 volts with no

load on the bank may indicate a problem. Investigate and correct any

problems immediately.
