Hot Water Tank
The HOT WATER HEATER has a 6 gallon capacity tank and heats when connected to shore power
or off the heat exchanger when the engine is running. To use in the AC mode, flip on the water heater
circuit breaker on the AC electrical panel located under nav table. Do not use the water heater if the
water tank level is very low. The water heater is located under that aft curved settee.
Shower
Before taking a SHOWER, make sure water pressure and shower sump breakers are on. To activate
the hand-held wand pull the hose out of the sink and attach to wall spray holder. Take only very short
“boat” showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing). To keep shower tidy wipe down
the shower stall and floor. Push and hold the SHOWER DRAIN button to drain shower. Check for
accumulation of hair in the shower and sink drains and pick up any accumulation, as it clogs the
hoses. There are shower sump strainers under each head sink. Spin off the clear plastic bowl and
clean as necessary. An additional FRESH WATER SHOWER is located at the transom opposite of
the swim ladder. Ensure that the faucets and nozzle are completely off after use to save water.
GALLEY
Propane Stove
The boat is equipped a low-pressure propane system for cooking. The propane tank is located in the
port aft cockpit locker. Your propane stove is activated by the following steps:
1)
Open the valve on the LPG (propane) tank in the lazaret in stern on the port side..
2)
Turn on the breaker labeled LPG Gas Valve” on the DC Panel. This is the power supply to
the Trident Marine LP Gas Control and Detection System, which acts as a sniffer and
solenoid.
3)
After the “DETECTOR ON” green light stops flashing, press the ON button on Trident
sniffer/solenoid located aft of microwave, A GREEN light should indicate “valve on”. If a
RED light appears and an alarm sounds,
turn off the gas at the tank in the stern lazaret
and call AYC.
(See details below.)
4)
Turn on the gas at the stove by pressing in the knob and light the burner using a barbeque
lighter, which you should find in the galley next to the microwave. You might need to hold
the knob in for a few seconds while the thermo coupler warms up. When lighting for the first
time, allow a few seconds for the gas to travel from the tank to the stove
5)
When you are finished cooking, turn off the burners and then press the OFF button on
the sniffer/detacher. Before you get underway and before retiring
close the valve at
the bottle in the lazaret on the port side of the stern
and then turn off the LPG Gas
Valve switch on the breaker panel.
DETAILS ON SNIFFER ALARM. If the LPG Gas sniffer sounds an alarm and the red light on
Alarm 1 lights, contact Anacortes Yacht Charters for advice. If you cannot reach AYC, proceed as
follows. The sniffer/detector has automatically turned the gas to the stove and oven off. Nevertheless,
turn the gas off at the tank as well. Then turn off the LPG circuit breaker on the panel to silence the
alarm. Open hatches to ventilate the salon and galley area but do not use the fans as there is a chance
they will generate a spark. After you ventilate the salon and galley you can try turning on the
sniffer/solenoid at the panel but do not turn the gas on at the tank. If the alarm sounds again and you
smell gas, seek additional advice by radio or telephone. Avoid using anything that could create a
spark. If you do not smell gas and you are sure the galley is well ventilated, you can try blowing on
the sensor, which is a black box mounted directly below the oven, to clear any dust, etc. that may
