TUB, SHOWER AND SUMPS
The tub shower and single shower each have a sump pump that is activated by a float
switch. This requires the 24 volt circuit breaker to be on. If the shower is used without
the circuit breaker, the shower water will end up in the bilges and be pumped out by the
bilge pumps. Shower water in the bilges can get smelly, so please make sure the sump
pumps are used.
Each head has an exhaust fan. Do not leave running for long periods of time to avoid
excessive battery drain if you are not using shore power.

A. STOVE TOP
The stove top is powered by the breaker on the 240 volt panel. You must have at least 30
amp shore power and limited other 110v use, or the generator running to operate the
stove top. Boiling water for crab can be done on the stove top but is very slow. For
filling the crab pot - you may wish to assist the stove top by adding boiling water from
the electric tea pot.
B. CONVECTION MICROWAVE
The convection microwave is connected to the power inverter.
Do not use the microwave for extended cooking while on power inverter. Any convection
cooking more than 15 minutes should be done while connected to shore power or running
generator, otherwise, you may run down the inverter batteries.
Coffee maker, toaster, and other electrical appliances may be plugged into the power
outlets in the galley that are powered by the battery inverter.
Use care when using
multiple devices simultaneously
as the breaker may pop or inverter power may turn off
due to over loading the circuit. THESE APPLIANCES ARE STOWED BELOW THE
COUNTER ACCESS PANEL TO THE LEFT OF THE COOKTOP
Galley Crew Note: The coffee maker uses One heaping tablespoon of coffee for each 2
cups of water shown on the coffee maker for “Seattle Standard Coffee”; moderately
heavy coffee.
The sink does not have a garbage disposal. do not put coffee grounds down the drain.
Doing so will clog the overboard drain. Note the sink discharges directly into the water.
All waste should go into Trash compactor bags , properly installed in the Trash
Compactor. Or in garbage bags to be disposed of at marinas.
