Charging – Engine
•
All batteries are automatically being charged when the engine is running.

If 120V power is needed for
low wattage devices
when shore power is not available, the Inverter on
the Magnum panel can be turned ON.

At the Magnum control panel, press the INVERTER button.

Berths and Bedding
•
Ardent
is ideal for six people but will sleep a maximum of eight: two in the forward cabin, two in each
of the aft cabins, and two on the berth converted from the dinette table and settee (converts to a
double berth).
•
To convert the dinette table and settee into a double berth:
•
Gently pull up on each side of the salon table until it comes releases from the legs (friction fit).
•
Remove the long metal legs that are attached by friction only.
•
Insert the short legs (stored in the small compartment at the forward end of the galley
countertop, above the port settee) into the floor sockets and carefully place the tabletop onto
the legs.
•
Locate the two filler cushions om port aft cabin and place them over the tabletop.

Bilge Pumps
Highlights
•
Manual Bilge Pump and Handle
: The pump is located on inside face of starboard helm base. The
handle is held in clips inside the starboard cockpit locker, aft end.
•
Electric Bilge Pump
: Has an automatic float switch. The pump is located just aft of the mast post down
in the bilge. Check the strainer on the pump inlet for any clogging debris and remove if needed. The
pump mode control switch is on the electrical panel has two positions: AUTO and ON. Should always
be in the AUTO position unless the float switch fails to turn the pump on then you can override by
switching to the ON position.
•
Please visually inspect the bilge each day, which is accessed by lifting the floorboard in front of the
main salon table. The refrigerator drains into the bilge, so most accumulated water is from melting ice
and condensation. The intake tube is at the lowest point in the bilge.
9.
Bow Thruster
Highlights
•
There is no separate breaker/switch on the electrical panel.
