o
Push the preheat switch UP to the stop position and hold till the generator shuts
down.
• The generator sea strainer is located aft and to starboard of the generator.
• Generator over heating should be handled the same as the main engine, see Section
C - Engine.
INVERTER
Magnum inverter/ charger. Inverter breaker on the DC panel needs to be
on to charge.
Hullabaloo is equipped with a 2500 watt inverter that converts DC electrical power to AC in
limited amounts. The inverter charges its own battery when operating on shore power or the
generator.
• The microwave, refrigerator, ice maker and AC plugs will all work off the inverter.
• The microwave is for light duty cooking only, such as warming or making popcorn.
• The AC plugs can be used for charging your cell phone battery or operating an AC
radio, etc.
•
Never use the AC plugs off the inverter to operate an electric heater or hair
dryer. They will run down the inverter battery very quickly.
There is a link 2000 inverter controller dual battery monitor in the wheel house on the port
side. Please refer to the manufacture
’s operating manual for instruction.
G. CABIN HEAT
Hullabaloo cabin heat is provided by a Webasto hydronic diesel heater. The heater is
controlled by a switch in the salon, starboard side below the TV. There are 2 positions for
different operating modes:
When NOT cruising: Up position turns the diesel heater on and runs independently. The
heater will also heat the hot water tank.
When cruising: Down position should be used when cruising. The system will circulate hot
water via the engines rather than the diesel heater. This will also heat the hot water tank.
Cabin controls: Each cabin has a separate thermostat. Increase or decrease the
temperature for each as desired, or they may be switched off. The heads each have a fan,
but the system must be running for them to provide heat (i.e. fans can be turned on
whether or not hot water is circulating through the system).
Pilothouse defroster/defogger: The pilot house is set up with a defroster/defogger for
clearing the windows. The switch is located on the small panel on the port side of the
wheel. The fan control is located up on the port side of the instrument panel.
Flybridge: Heat is also available in the flybridge, but the switch for the defroster (in
pilothouse) must be on.
