Head Won't Flush; Hit A Fish Net; Propeller Fouled Or Damaged - OceanFlyer Grand Banks 49' Classic Operating Manual

valve on the manifold at back of engine room? Make sure all open, if one was closed, re-prime
engine or call a mechanic if you can't do this (see Caterpillar engine manual).
5J: HEAD WON'T FLUSH
Is breaker on? Turn it on. Have you over-filled the holding tank? Pump it to allow more effluent
to enter it. See the "Heads" section of this manual. If all else fails, just use only the other head.
5K: HIT A FISH NET
Engines in Neutral: don't try to back off, you may foul the net more. Try pulling the boat back
with the dinghy & outboard. Get assistance from the fisherman. You are responsible for
damage you cause to a net!
5L: HIT A LOG OR ROCK
See EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, next chapter.
5M: PROPELLER FOULED OR DAMAGED
Best thing: have the prop checked by a diver or dive it yourself if able. Check for vibration. Try
turning shaft by hand in engine room, both should be turn-able with engine in neutral. Is shaft
noisy, or does it load engine? Do not use that side or call Vessel Assist. See emergency
procedures, next chapter.
5N: WATER (FRESH) WON'T FLOW
Is there water in the tank? Is F.W. Pump breaker on? If capable, check pressure switch on
pump, run manually if necessary.
