  • Page 21: Filling The Fuel Tanks

    3B: Maneuvering Suggestions 3B1: Docking & Undocking Usually it’s easier to dock bow in. Have your mate at the side rail opening, ready to step off and secure the stern line, against which you can pull to swing the bow in toward the dock. By having your mate ready to disembark when close to the dock, he/she will not have to jump to the dock, risking a turned ankle or falling overboard.
  • Page 22 3B3: Anchoring Anchoring can be accomplished safely with a minimum of fuss if you are prepared. Or, if you are not ready, it can be stressful and dangerous for you or the boat. Before attempting to anchor, select an anchorage with a soft bottom such as sand, mud, or gravel, if possible.
  • Page 23 If while checking the set, the chain rumbles and clunks, and seems to release in bursts, it means you're anchoring on a rocky bottom and the anchor is not holding. Be patient: it may not set on the first try, and you'll have to repeat the process sometimes to get a good “set”. One the starboard side of the windless bow platfrom is a remote control/counter for the windless.
  • Page 24 Here is a sketch of a properly anchored boat with a shore line (In this drawing, S=Scope, which should be at least 4 x DL, the Depth at Low Tide): 3B5: Trim Tabs The boat is fitted with a set of Bennett Trim Tabs. These are wide “flaps”...

The systems and major components discussed are in alphabetical order as follows: 4A: Anchor & Ground Tackle Fuel System 4B: Barbeque Furnace/Air Conditioning 4D: Bilge Blowers Galley &...
  • Page 26: Lowering Anchor

    4A2: Anchor Chain Locker & Anchor Jams Anchor Handling: The anchor is forward on the bow pulpit. It is raised and lowered by the electric windlass. The chain goes from the windlass into the chain locker through the chain pipe behind the chain wheel (“wildcat”). From here, the chain goes into a bow chain locker.
  • Page 27 4A4: Anchor Windlass The anchor on OceanFlyer is raised and lowered by a Lofrans Falkon Windlass on the bow pulpit. The windlass is controlled by foot switches at the bow. The control circuit breaker for the windlass is on the windlass breaker panel on the starboard side of the salon helm console.
  • Page 28 4B: Barbeque The Barbeque mounted on the sundeck is an outdoor extension of the galley. The BBQ is fueled by the propane tank on the sundeck and is operated in similar fashion to most propane units. It is very efficient; on “low”...
  • Page 29 4E1: Davit The boat uses its mast and boom to launch the Dinghy. This is expedited by an electric windlass that serves as the actual hoist. There are videos on the OceanFlyer IPad detailing the launching and retreiving of the dinghy.
  • Page 30 4E2: Dinghy The dinghy aboard this boat is a 10-6"' hard-bottom inflatable, designed to carry up to four passengers safely. For safety, and compliance with both U.S. and Canadian rules, there should be a life jacket aboard the dinghy for each passenger aboard whenever the dinghy is at sea.
  • Page 31: Generator Control Panel

    4F: Electrical Systems, AC 4F1: AC Generator The ship’s two Onan Generators provide 20,000 watts (Generator “1') and 9,000 watts (Generator “2") of AC power to the vessel and are used for battery charging, cooking, heating hot water, the washer/dryer, all air conditioning, and operation of incidental AC appliances.
  • Page 32 3) After the generator starts, allow a brief warmup of a minute or so, then switch the “AC Power Selector” to the selected generator’s position. 4) Be sure the Inverter is “Off” and not in the “Charge” Mode. 5) Be sure chargers #1 and #2 are “On”. Stopping a Generator: 1) Switch the AC Power Selector in the AC power panel to “Off”.
  • Page 33 4F2: AC Inverter System The Inverter Makes AC from DC ... The Inverter system is used to provide AC to the boat when there is no shore power or running generator. It is wonderful, for example, to use the inverter to make a pot of coffee when the engine is running and you are underway, or to watch TV in a quiet anchorage, or use a hair dryer for a few minutes in the morning.
  • Page 34 Inverter LED Status Lights (If they are all unlit, touch any button to be sure the unit is “awake”.) LIT: There is AC available for battery charging (from shore power or the generator). FAULT LIT: The inverter has malfunctioned. See the inverter manual. ON: Inverter is charging, see display for mode.
  • Page 35 powered by the inverter! 4F3: AC Panel 120/220 Volt Breakers This section of the AC panel provides standard 120-volt power throughout the vessel, as well as 220 to selected circuits. Below are described each breaker’s circuits and its use. After connecting to shore power, if the Reverse Polarity Light lights, it indicates the shore power...
  • Page 36 † = If any air conditioning compressor is run, the “Aircon Pump” must be on! § = Using the Diesel Furnace to heat water will reduce the likelihood of overloading shore circuits, so it is recommended that you use it instead of 110-volt shore power (or the generator) when at transient moorings! Is it 110 or 120? 220 or 240? The fact is, these voltages are “arbitrary”...
  • Page 37 4F5: AC Reverse Polarity Although we tend to think of AC Electricity as having only two conductors, it actually has three. One of these is called “neutral”; one is “hot”; and one is “ground”, that is, it is supposed to be the same as the water around the boat and the earth ashore.

  • Page 39 4G: Electrical Systems, DC 4G1: DC Concepts Each year it seems more folks are confused by the operation of electrical systems on yachts than by any other subject! Don’t feel discouraged if something isn’t clear: you’ve got company in your confusion.
  • Page 40 4G2: DC Batteries The batteries on this boat are not just one, big all-purpose battery. To have redundancy, there are actually several “banks” of batteries assigned different tasks. A “starting bank” of two batteries — one for each engine — are used for engine starting. That way, we won’t run it down playing the stereo, for instance, and then be unable to start an engine.
  • Page 41 4G4: DC Battery Master Switch Panels in Engine Room There are two battery switch panels in the engine room. The illustrations below have the switches in the correct normal positions.

  • Page 46 4H2: Electronics: Garmin 8215 & 8212 Multifunction Displays In addition to the vessel’s full set of pertinent paper navigation charts, the Garmin navigation system assists you in cruise planning and underway navigation. A fully- integrated and networked unit, it displays information at both helms in a variety of modes.
  • Page 47 4H4: Electronics: Stereo, DVD & TV These units include the flat screen TV in the port aft corner of the salon and the CD/AM/FM stereo in the cabinet aft in the salon. There is a USB iPhone/iPad connection in the drawer beneath the unit.
  • Page 48 4H7: Radar TThe radar is intergrated into the Garmin multi-function display. TThere is operational information in the Garmin Owner's manual as well as videos on the iPad. TThe displays can be set to show the radar returns on the navigation display and also display the radr screen alone.
  • Page 49 Electronics Maretron 800C Th e Maretron 800C is a self-contained computer that can display any information that is available on the NMEA 2000 backbone. It has a touchscreen for easy access. Th e unit will come on automatically when its breaker above the lower helm station turned on.
  • Page 50 Page Intentionally Left Blank...
  • Page 51 4J: Engine & Transmissions 4J1: General Discussion The main engines on the boat are two Caterpillar 3126 6-cylinder Diesels, each producing a maximum of 420 horsepower. These extraordinarily-reliable, rugged machines are the top-of-the-line, and can be expected to give you trouble-free, economical cruising. On engine start, no long warm-up is required! Three or four minutes is sufficient, then load the engines by putting the transmissions in gear.
  • Page 52: Check The Transmission Oil Level

    The engines are controlled at the lower helm with a key and start button; at the upper helm there are stop and start buttons for emergencies. 4J3: Engine Controls Standard Controls OceanFlyer is fitted with standard push-pull cable engine controls. There are engine controls at both helms. (More next page) Section 4J: Engines & Transmissions 4.26...
  • Page 53 4J4: Engine Emergency Shutdown There are little red emergency shutdown buttons on the aft end of each injector pump assembly on the port side of each engine. In the event the “Stop” control doesn’t work, you can press this button on each engine. See illustration.
  • Page 54 4J7: Engine Synchronizer The Glendinning Synchronizer exactly, automatically synchronizes the engines. The switches to engage/disengage it are located at the lower helm on the overhead panel and at the upper helm to the right of the wheel. The “Lead” engine is port, the “Slave” is starboard. The synchronizer is mounted above the To engage it: starboard engine.
  • Page 55: Fresh Water System

    Fresh Water System Overview OceanFlyer carries 515 gallons [1950 liters] distributed among three tanks: 1. Forward Tank 131 gallons [496 liters] 2. Center Tank 263 gallons [996 liters] 3. Aft Tank 121 gallons [458 liters] Tank Locations It is unlikely that you will need to access the fresh water tanks themselves.
  • Page 56 Fresh Water Tank Gauges You can monitor the status of each tank on the Garmin GMI 20, located in the overhead instrument panel at the lower helm. You can also monitor them on the Maretron GSM 250 located next to the master berth.
  • Page 57 Fresh Water System Using the Kabola Diesel Furnace to Heat Water Th e Kabola heater is the best choice for heating the water. It is very fast to heat the water. It does not require the engine or generator to be running to heat the water.
  • Page 58: Troubleshooting

    Contact NW Explorations to alert them of the problem. Water Maker Overview OceanFlyer is equipped with a Village Marine water maker capable of making approximately 20 gallons of freshwater per hour. However, fi ft een gallons per hour is a good number to use for planning purposes.
  • Page 59 Fresh Water System Starting the Water Maker 1. Turn on one of the generators to supply 120v. 2. Turn on the water maker AC Breaker. 3. Verify the seawater intake is open at the through hull 4. Also check the Fresh Water / Salt Water Selector valve is set on Salt Water, NOT Fresh Water.
  • Page 61 Fresh Water System Stopping the Water Maker 1. Slowly turn the High Pressure Bypass Valve (Black Valve) back to CLEANING POSITION (HORIZONTAL) 2. Press the HP PUMP pushbutton to stop the High Pressure Pump. 3. Press the LP PUMP pushbutton to stop the Low Pressure Pump. 4.
  • Page 62 Media Pre-Filter Th e multi-media fi lter traps suspended solids larger than 30 microns to provide additional protection for the system’s pre-fi lters, which can greatly extend pre-fi lter element life. It is fi lled with three types of fi lter media.
  • Page 63 Fresh Water System 5 Micron Pre-Filter Th e large commercial water fi lter housing contains a 5 micron fi lter element. Th is should be checked if there is a large drop in water fl ow or the water maker displays a error message indicating low input pressure. Changing the 5 Micron Filter Element 1.
  • Page 64 However if you do need to change the fi lter: 1. Turn off the fresh water pump. 2. Drain the system by opening the sink faucets in the galley and engine room. 3. Remove the safety tie-wrap on the yellow lever and move the lever while holding the fi lter body.
  • Page 65: Fuel System

    4L: Fuel System 4L1: Fuel System Concept The Diesel fuel aboard OceanFlyer is carried in two tanks of 517 gallons each. This gives the boat great cruising range, but it also means there can be a significant imbalance between the tanks if fuel is only used from one tank for an extended period.
  • Page 66 4L5: Fuel Manifolds The Fuel Manifold is located immediately forward of the 8kW generator at the aft end of the engine room. Each engine and generator has a fuel supply and, since extra fuel is pumped to the engine that is used to cool the engines injection pump, there is a fuel return line as well.
  • Page 67 4M: Furnace & Air Conditioning 4M1: Air Conditioning The boat is equipped with an electric Cruisair Air Conditioning and Heating System including three compressors. Its outlets are located throughout the boat controlled by a thermostats throughout the boat. If you are connected to 30amp shore power, you will be abel to run only two units at the same time.
  • Page 68 4M2: Furnace Furnace Concept The boat is equipped with a Kabola Diesel circulating hot water heating System. The furnace is in the engine room, and heats hot water circulated for heating throughout the boat; it also has a “heat exchanger” that heats fresh water for the sinks, showers and washer.
  • Page 69 Furnace Blower Controls To control the balance of heat between the boat’s areas (particularly the head compartments) use the individual fan control switches by each fan. Do not turn more than one or two fans off! Better to keep them at least on “low”, lest the furnace run but not be able to deliver its heat! As you see, this furnace system is flexible! As long as the batteries can support the modest DC requirement of the fans and furnace, you will have plenty of quiet heat.
  • Page 70 4N: Galley & Appliances OceanFlyer is fitted with a number of appliances for your convenience. Most of these (like the microwave) are easy to operate, “just like a home appliance”; nevertheless, we will spend some time discussing these, as marine units have some features that are slightly different than home models.
  • Page 71 4N4: Microwave/Convection Oven This is a conventional unit just as would be found in a home; operate in the usual way. You can operate it just with the inverter if the boat is underway or if you only have a short cooking cycle. Microwave is over the fridge.
  • Page 72 4N6: Washer and Dryer A washer and dryer are located in the engine room forward. These operate like conventional units. You will need to run a generator, as Shore Power cannot support its heavy electrical current needs. The washer is to port forward The dryer is to starboard in the The two units operate conventionally.
  • Page 73 4P: Head Systems 4P1: Overview The head systems on this boat are reliable, straightforward, and easy-to-use. First, a note about discharge of sewage: It is forbidden to discharge untreated sewage in inland US. waters, an area that includes all US. waters in which this boat operates. The boat holding tank must only be emptied at proper pump-out stations if it is in US.
  • Page 74 Only things which were eaten or drunk, or the toilet paper supplied with the boat, should be put in the heads! Facial tissues, tampons, and other foreign matter will clog the system. If these heads are used properly, they are quite reliable. Failures are virtually always due to mis-use! 4P3: Head Problems The only likely head problem is easy to diagnose, for you will hear the head pump run frequently...
  • Page 75 4P6: Head Holding Tank Level Gauge The level of waste water in the holding tanks can be displayed on the GMI-20 and the Matretron 800C.

Have you over-filled the holding tank? Pump it to allow more effluent to enter it.
  • Page 84: Section 6: Emergency Procedures

    Section 6: Emergency Procedures 6A: PROTECT YOUR LIVES FIRST... Put on life jackets Contact the Coast Guard with an emergency "MAYDAY" call. If adrift, prepare to anchor to keep the boat from drifting into danger. If the boat is really sinking, consider "beaching it" if necessary. Launch the dinghy and prepare to board if necessary.
  • Page 85 6D: HITTING A LOG, ROCK, OR DEBRIS ----- PLEASE DON’T! Hitting a log is a real risk in our Northern waters because logging, and "log rafts," are such a big part of our commerce. If you hit a log: Did you put a hole in the boat? Idle the engine, then think: usually, you can tell just by where the noise of the hit came from.
