Page 13: Batteries
8. Batteries 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 you are not using. Your batteries will charge when the engine is running at 1400rpms or more, whether sitting at a mooring or motoring to a destination. - 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 corner aft cushion. There are two large fuses next to each other; the anchor windlass fuse is the one on the right, the inner side.
- Page 16 Manual operation of the windlass If you lose power to your windlass, start the engine and give it some revs, to make sure you have not just got a low battery voltage. Then make sure the windlass breaker with the anchor icon is in the ‘on’ position on the 12 volt panel.

Page 22: Refrigeration
15. Refrigeration The system on this boat is an upgraded 12v refrigerator. This system is designed to run 24hrs a day if you wish. To ensure that it does not fail there are two things you should do. • Firstly, keep your batteries charged. If the level goes below 12v the system will malfunction. - Page 23 16. Propane and stove The propane tank locker is located under the helm seat on the port side. To use: • Turn the LPG switch on the 12v panel. This opens the solenoid on the tank. • To light, turn the knob you want 90 degrees clockwise, push the knob in and light the burner (to light oven put the flame in the tube that is inside/center bottom).
