4M2: Furnace Operation
There is a remote master switch in the electrical panel, and individual thermostats in both staterooms, the saloon and
pilot house. The unit takes about 20 minutes to heat until warm air is produced at each zone.
To run the heating system:
• Be sure the master remote switch is turned on.
The system will not operate if this switch is off, regardless of the heating source.
• Adjust any one or more of the thermostats to the desired level.
The furnace will fire and
begin heating the water. Once the water is hot, the system will supply heat until the
thermostats reach the set levels. Then the furnace will go through a cool down period and shut down. If the
temperature falls below the set level on any thermostat, the furnace will turn on automatically and repeat its
cycle.
• If you don’t want heat in a given room, turn off its thermostat.
If you want the heat totally off, all 3 thermostats [but not the remote master switch] must be off. Each room
thermostat operates independently. Therefore, if any one thermostat requests heat, the furnace will turn on.
Note: The heat generally comes on from aft to bow. This is especially true if all thermo- stats are turned on at the
same time. Depending on initial water and outdoor temps, it takes about ten minutes for heat to begin blowing
through the fans.
4M3: Furnace Exhaust Warning
Note the location of the exhaust aft on the port side of the boat! Care should
be taken not to block this outlet with fenders or while rafting due to the very
high temperature of the exhaust gases from the furnace.
4M4: Furnace Problems
If battery voltage gets too low the furnace will shut down to avoid running the
batteries dead. After the batteries are fully charged, you must reset the furnace
control by turning the remote furnace “on-off” switch “Off”, wait ten seconds,
and then “On” again. The furnace then should operate.
