Berths - BENETEAU Oceanis 41.1 2017 Owners’ Notes

Interlude Owners' Notes
Charging
When the engine is running you'll be automatically charging the batteries. When on shore power, you
charge the batteries by setting the battery charging switch on the electrical panel (left-hand side) to
"ON." We highly recommend charging the batteries whenever you're on shore power.
Shore Power
Interlude is equipped with a 50-ft. shore power cable that attaches in the cockpit below the port helm
(no more hanging over the back of the boat to connect the cable). There also is a 25 ft. extension cord
stored in the aft port locker (under the helm). When on shore power, a blue LED light will illuminate on
the cable plug at the helm and a red light will be illuminated in the upper left-hand corner of the
electrical panel (see inverter photo). Before connecting or disconnecting shore power please turn off the
AC outlets and battery charger switches on the electrical panel.
SAFETY REMINDER – To connect to shore power, first attach the power cable to the boat then to the
shore power junction box. To disconnect shore power, reverse the process – detach the cable from the
shore power junction box first then disconnect it at the boat. We typically store the power cable in the
aft port locker (under the helm).
Inverter
Interlude is equipped with an inverter that provides AC power for
the electrical outlets, microwave and entertainment system (TV-
3
DVD/Blu-ray) when you are operating on battery power. The
ON/OFF switch and volt meter for the inverter are on the electrical
panel in the main cabin. When running on batteries, turn on the
inverter and flip the AC outlet switch on the panel to "ON." Turn
off the inverter when not in use to minimize drain on the battery.
We recommend not using appliances that draw lots of power
when operating the inverter (hair driers are notorious). The galley
microwave is very efficient and it's OK to run it off the inverter, but
Inverter controls: voltmeter (1), ON/OFF Switch (2)
we don't recommend long cooking times (>10 minutes). The
AC shore power light (3).
entertainment system draws minimal power: feel free to enjoy a favorite movie while at anchor!
AC Outlets
AC outlets are available in each cabin. Use these for charging phones, operating electrical appliances, etc.
The AC outlet switch on the electrical panel must be "ON" before the outlets will work. NOTE: there is a
master switch for the AC outlets under the Nav table; it needs to be "ON" as well.
Bow Thrusters
The bow thrusters have their own batteries and battery switch, located in the forward cabin under the
berth. Under normal circumstances you don't need to do anything with this system.

BERTHS

Interlude has three cabins with queen size beds, hanging lockers and storage areas. There are ample
sources of lighting in each berth, with a master switch near the door and individual controls for reading
