GALLEY
The boat is equipped with a low pressure propane system for cooking. The propane tank
is located in the bottom of the storage box on the aft deck under the shelf. There is a
propane solenoid switch to turn on the gas under the counter by the sink. 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. The oven is lit with a BBQ lighter, set the
knob to light and hold the gas button down on the port side of the oven control panel
and light the pilot light under the burner, then you can adjust to the desired temp.
To ensure safety, turn off the propane solenoid switch, the propane at the bottle, and
the DC breaker when finished.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator is 12 volt only and is always drawing 12 volts
unless you turn it off
inside the refrigerator. Carefully monitor the use of the refrigerator when the engines
are not charging the 12-volt system as when you are at anchor. Use a cooler when
possible for all your drinks to keep the refrigerator door closed as much as possible.
It can be turned down at night to conserve energy while anchored or moored.
HEAT
The Espar diesel forced-air heater is located on the aft engine room bulk head to the
port side. It is accessed through the removable panel in the aft state room. It provides
heat much like your household furnace. Turn on the switch on the control unit located
on the forward end of the electrical cabinet set the temperature at the desired
temperature. Check the exhaust port on the port midship 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 heat is also available when connected to shore power. Make sure the
appropriate AC breaker is on, and push the power button on the control pad by the
dinette to turn it on then set your temp.
Cabin heat is also available through a “red Dot” heat system when the engine is running.
Press the rocker switch located in the companionway to the appropriate setting. When
the engine is not running, turn off to conserve heat.
