Interlude Owners' Notes
•
Bilge Pump: Always leave the bilge pump
setting in "Auto." Test the pump daily by
switching to manual and listening for the
pump to run, then return it to the "Auto"
setting.
•
Water Pump: If you don't hear the pump start
when you turn it ON at the panel, it means
that the system is at working pressure – you
should hear the pump start again after you use
some fresh water.
use raw water and do not impact the fresh
water supply. Showers and sinks in the heads
use the fresh water supply, as does the cockpit
shower.
OPERATING TIP: When underway and if no
one is below decks, we turn the water pump OFF.
•
Cabin Lights: This switch turns ON/OFF DC power to the LED lights located throughout the boat.
It must be "ON" before you can turn on any lights on the boat.
•
Fridge Unit: We usually leave the fridge switch "ON" whenever we're on the boat. If the house
battery charge level drops to near 12V and you aren't planning to run the engine/ connect to
shore power, turn the fridge off. Your provisions will stay cold overnight.
•
Navigation Instruments: Turn this switch "ON" to activate the B&G electronics, instrumentation,
and multi-function display in the cockpit. This switch also provides power for the radar, depth
sounder and knotmeter.
•
Anchor, Steaming and Deck Flood Lights: When anchored or mooring, turn on the Anchor Light
at dusk (located at the top of the mast). When motoring at night, turn on the mast-mounted
Steaming Light. Turn on the deck Flood Light if you must go forward on deck at night.
•
Circular toggle switch and LED display: Cycle through this multi-function controller to display
the fuel gauge, water gauges (Tank 1 - Aft and Tank 2 - Forward) and battery levels (Domestic
and Engine) in the LED display panel. The accuracy of the fuel and water gauges can get
questionable when they drop to ¼ full – at ¼ full it's time to find the fuel dock!
