Page 13: Batteries / Battery Switches
8. Batteries / Battery switches The systems on your yacht are all 12volt. The batteries will need to be recharged as often as you deplete them. Conserving power will result in less time needed for charging, so turn off systems that are not being used. - Page 14 9. Anchoring & the windlass Setting your anchor: Preparation: • Establish a non verbal communication system from bow to stern, as with the noise of the engine and wind, verbal communication proves difficult. • Tie the dinghy painter close to the boat at the bow or amidships to avoid wrapping it around the prop.
- Page 15 There is a high amperage fuse that will blow if the windlass gets overloaded. The fuse is located on the starboard side of the salon, behind the back rest of the salon cushion. There are two large fuses next to each other; the anchor windlass fuse is the smaller of the two and is 100 amps.
