either out of water or have an air lock which can be corrected by opening a faucet.
If you run out of water, shut off pump and
turn off hot water heater
on AC panel.
You can cause serious damage
to the heating element.
The hot water heater has a 10 gallon capacity. It is heated when the AC breaker is
on while connected to shore power or when the ships engine is running. Do not use
the water heater if the water level is low.
Shower
Before taking a shower, make sure the water pressure and shower sump pump
breakers are on. Take short “boat” showers by turning off the water between
soaping and rinsing. Please wipe down the shower stall and floor when finished to
keep shower tidy. Pick up any accumulation of hair in the drains as it clogs the
hoses. Ensure that the faucets are tightly turned off after each shower to save
water. There is also a transom shower.
GALLEY
Propane Stove
The boat is equipped with a pressurized propane system for cooking. The propane
tank is located starboard aft cockpit locker
.
Open the tank valve
.
Then turn on the
propane solenoid switch in the galley. When lighting the first time, allow a few
seconds for the gas to travel from the tank to the stove. You might need to keep the
stove top or the oven in the light position for a few more seconds while the thermo-
coupler warms up.
To ensure safety, turn off the propane solenoid switch, the propane at the bottle,
and the DC breaker when finished.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator operates on 12 volt. Carefully monitor the use of the refrigerator
when the engine is not charging the 12-volt system as when you are at anchor.
SHYC will supplement you with a block of ice.
Keep the fridge off at night
! Use a
cooler when possible for all your drinks to keep the refrigerator door closed as much
as possible. The fridge pump-out switch is located just under sink.
HEAT
The Webasto diesel forced-air heater is located in the aft storage locker. It provides
heat much like your household furnace. Turn on the toggle switch in the main salon
and set the temperature at the desired temperature. Check the exhaust port on the
port midships to make certain that no obstruction, such as a fender or line exists.
Let the furnace run at least 15 minutes before turning it off. Turn the furnace off
back at the thermostat.
Electric heaters are also available when connected to shore power or when using the
generator. Make sure the appropriate AC breaker is on.
