CLOSE QUARTERS TURNS
Executing a close quarters turn:
Check your headway 1 .
Shift one engine into reverse while shifting the other into forward 2 .
gear . As you advance the throttles, the opposing forces cause the
yacht to pivot about a point centered between the propellers .
Turn the rudders in the direction of the turn to assist the rate of
3 .
turn .
bOW/STERN THRUSTERS
The stern thrusters use two control stations with dual joystick pads to ma-
neuver the yacht in close quarters and for docking . Marquis recommends
that the main engines remain in NEUTRAL while the Stern Thrusters are
in use .
CHECKING HEADWAY
Stopping the yacht’s forward motion is referred to as “checking
headway” . It is important learn how to confidently stop the yacht within
any required distance .
Check headway by shifting the engines to neutral and coming to a
complete stop over a long distance, or by reversing the engines and
stopping within a shorter distance .
TOWING
ALWAYS offer assistance to a vessel in distress . However, towing a
capsized yacht or a yacht with a damaged hull is not recommended .
Lend aid to the occupants, and call the proper authorities when towing
is required . Remember, ALL YACHTERS ARE OBLIGATED TO LEND
AID TO ANY PERSON IN DISTRESS, BUT NOT TO THE VESSEL .
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOW A DISAbLED YACHT.
One disabled
yacht is better than two .
ANCHORING
The anchor’s holding power depends on the anchor’s weight and the
anchor line length . The most effective anchor line length is six to seven
times the depth of the water . For example, if the water is 10 feet deep,
the anchor line length should be 60-70 feet .
DROPPING THE ANCHOR
Approach the selected anchor site from downwind . 1 .
Come to a complete stop over the desired anchor drop spot . The anchor can be lowered from either the helm or from the bow 2 .
with foot switches . To activate the foot switch at the bow, simply lift the cover .
Reverse the engines and
3 . slowly move the yacht backward to pay out more anchor line when the anchor hits bottom . The
anchor flukes will dig in when the anchor is at the appropriately set .
Check for anchor
