MaxProp
–
There
are
two
main
advantages
to
the
feathering
MaxProp;
the
first
is
speed.
In
light
winds
she
will
sail
up
to
half
a
knot
faster
with
the
prop
feathered.
The
second
advantage
shows
up
when
you
are
backing
up
under
power.
When
you
put
the
transmission
in
reverse
you
will
notice
that
she
responds
faster
than
a
boat
with
a
fixed
prop
.
Twin
Rudders
‐
Twin
rudder
boats
behave
significantly
differently
from
single
‐
rudder
boats
when
maneuvering
under
engine
.
It
can
take
some
practice
to
get
used
to
it.
The
main
reason
for
the
difference
is
that
the
rudders
are
not
in
‐
line
behind
the
prop,
so
revving
the
engine
when
the
boat
is
stopped
does
not
establish
flow
on
the
rudders
until
the
boat
starts
moving.
The
effect
is
a
"lag"
between
revving
the
engine
and
feeling
the
effect
of
the
wash
on
the
rudders.
This
lag
can
be
disconcerting
at
times
(truly
nothing
happens
to
the
steering
for
a
few
seconds
as
you
rev
the
engine).
In
practice,
this
means
you
should
not
stop
during
the
approach
because
without
motion
you'll
lose
steering
control,
and
it
will
take
more
time
to
gain
it
back
than
in
a
single
‐
rudder
boat.
To
correct
for
this,
you
need
to
approach
a
little
“livelier”
than
on
a
single
‐
rudder
boat,
get
fully
aligned
while
in
motion,
enter
the
slip,
and
only
at
the
last
moment
hard
reverse
to
stop
the
boat.
Bow Thruster -
The
Bow
Thruster
is
there
to
help
in
low
‐
speed
maneuvering
situations.
The
engine
must
be
running
before
the
bow
thruster
can
be
started/engaged.
Press
both
“ON
buttons”
together
to
enable
the
bow
thruster.
The
Thruster
ready
light
will
go
solid
green
to
indicate
it’s
deployed/lowered.
The
thruster
will
timeout
and
power
‐
down
in
roughly
5
minutes
if
unused,
this
can
be
an
issue
when
coming
into
dock
Turning
off
the
engine
before
the
thruster
has
been
powered
OFF
will
result
in
staying
in
the
lowered/deployed
position
(as
seen
in
the
photo).
It’s
best
to
power
OFF
the
thruster
before
the
engine,
but
if
this
happens,
start
the
engine
again
and
it
will
reset
to
closed.
Deck
Fuel
Fill
Cap
‐
The
Fuel
Fill
Cap
is
located
on
the
port
helm
cockpit
sole,
near
the
scupper,
which
is
a
low
point
designed
to
drain
water
from
the
deck
and
the
cockpit.
As
such,
standing
water
might
be
present
when
opening
the
cap
and
it’s
not
a
good
idea
to
allow
water
into
the
diesel
fuel.
It’s
therefore
important
to
both:
‐
Sponge
‐
dry
the
area
prior
to
opening.
A
FUELING
USE
sponge
is
in
the
port
cockpit
locker,
for
this
purpose.
‐
Ensure
the
cap
is
put
back
on
nice
and
snug
(please
inspect
the
seal
at
this
time
for
any
visible
damage
which
might
prevent
a
water
‐
tight
seal)
