Caution
WATER HEATER
The yacht’s hot water system has three heating systems on board. The yacht has a 110volt
AC system, the usual hot water exchange system that is tied into the engines cooling system
and a separate Espar diesel hot water heating system. Both of these systems are integrated,
providing hot water from both systems with a minimal of attention to operate either system.
The Water Pump switch, #10 on the electrical panel, must be in "On" position to obtain water
pressure to have either hot or cold water.
110 volt AC hot water heater
The electric hot water heater can be operated when the yacht is hooked up to shore power.
To turn on the electric hot water heater plug in the shore power cord, activate both the shore
power breaker and yacht main breaker switches and then turn on the Water heater breaker
switch located on the yachts 110V electrical panel located at the Nav station. Activate the
switch and you will have hot water in approximately 30 minutes (if you are starting with cold
water).
Engine heat exchanger
Water is heated automatically whenever the engine is running. The water is heated when it
runs through the hot water exchange heater of the diesel engine. When starting with cold
water, a full hot tank can be obtained in approximately 30 minutes once the engine is at
normal operating temperature. Water in the tank will stay hot for several hours, but is cooled
as water is used and replaced with cold water from the water tanks. Remember, the engine
can only heat the water so much so don’t expect to get “blazing” hot water.
Espar Diesel Hot Water Heater
A diesel hot water heater provides heat to each of the yacht’s cabins. The distinct advantage
of this system is that it also heats the domestic hot water when operating. The heater is
separate from the yacht’s diesel engine. It is a separate diesel fired unit heating water in a
closed loop system, circulating this water in hoses throughout the yacht. The main cabin and
each sleeping cabin has a “radiator” type unit to provide the heat. The “boiler” is located
under the transom aft of the starboard side cabin. Its exhaust exits on the stern starboard
side. Therefore it is not necessary to run the yacht’s diesel engine to heat water.
The exhaust from the Heater is very hot! DO NOT tie the dingy to the starboard side of
while the yacht, as it will damage the line (painter), which may result in the loss of the dingy
towing. Also make sure the dock lines do not lie against the exhaust.
When the heater is in operation, you will hear the sound of water circulating from the
starboard aft cabin and the normal operational sound of the heating unit running.
The controls for the heating system are located at the Nav-station just below the stereo
