SCAPA
Welcome aboard!
We are happy you have chosen SCAPA, which is a verb word for "to
escape" or "to seek refuge", for your vacation. We are sure you will
enjoy escaping to the lovely islands of the Pacific Northwest onboard
SCAPA.
SCAPA is a fast trawler with a Pacific Seacraft pedigree. Pacific
Seacraft has built a solid reputation for rugged offshore performance,
classic design, and unmatched value in blue water sailboats. With the
introduction of the Pacific Seacraft 38T, these same timeless qualities
are available to the power cruising enthusiast.
We trust this manual will help you become familiar with SCAPA. If
you have questions about the boat or about places to visit, please do not
hesitate to ask the AYC staff.

BOAT OPERATION Engine Inspection Remember your “WOBBS” every morning: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Pump-out), Belts and Sea Strainer. Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion tanks located on top, forward of the engines. Check the level of OIL in each engine by checking your dipsticks, two on each engine. Look at the etch marks on each dipstick that indicate the proper oil level. -
Page 5: Shutdown
Note -- If oil pressure is low, shut down engine, and inspect engine compartment and look for possible cause (for example, loss of oil.) Caution -- If an engine is overheating or there is lack of raw water expelled in the engine exhaust, stop the engine immediately. Recheck the raw water-cooling system to ensure the seacock is ‘open’... -

crew will need to step off from the swim step with the stern line. Another crew member will need to be at the bow or mid-ships to hand over the next lines. Prior to docking, rock TRIM TAB switches to the ‘bow up’ position (8 to 10 seconds) to make slow- speed backing and turning easier. -

SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the battery chargers. To connect to shore power, plug the 30amp POWER CORD into the boat and then into the dock receptacle. Check the power rating/plug size of the nearest dock receptacle (that is 50 amp, 30 amp, 20 amp, or 15 amp). -

Before operation of the macerator, open the ball valve down stream of the pump. Valves are usually wire-tied to the holding tank position in respect to Coast Guard regulations. Please leave it “as is” unless there is an emergency. Be familiar with the applicable laws concerning dumping sewage directly overboard. -

A pressured RAW WATER WASHDOWN is available from a hose spigot in the stern and the bow. To activate, flip the PUMP ROCKER SWITCH located in the DC PANEL. After use, turn the switch off to prevent pump burn out, and ensure no object leans on the switch to turn it on accidentally. GALLEY Stove/oven The stove and oven are propane. -
Page 12: Radar
Depth Sounder There are 2 DEPTH SOUNDER SCREENS, one in the main cabin above the helm and the other on the upper helm. To activate the DEPTH SOUNDER, turn on breaker labeled “INSTRUMENTS” in the electrical panel. Set the scale, shallow alarm, and deep alarm as desired. The sounder should provide reliable readings in shallow waters. -
Page 13: Anchoring/Mooring Cans
Tip the anchor just over center and gently begin lowering the anchor. If necessary, guide the anchor over the anchor roller to prevent binding on the pulpit. Be careful of pinch points. Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE (chain) before setting the anchor. Colored markers are placed every - 25 feet on the chain and indicated amount of rode. -
Page 14: Crabbing/Fishing
Note: Propane bottles are provided by AYC. If you anticipate needing an additional bottle, please ask AYC staff. Caution -- For safety reasons, do not store an opened propane bottle within the salon or engine compartment. Chances are these will leak slightly once opened and propane gas could settle into spaces. - Page 15 SCAOA is equipped with three AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS. The master switch is located on the electrical panel. Normally, the switch will be left in the AUTO position. You may occasionally hear the pumps operate due to condensation and water from the shaft log accumulating in the bilge. The ENGINE SPARES BOX is stowed in the stern lazzerette or in the engine room.
