Page 7: Inverter
3. Inverter Warning: Leaving the Inverter turned on will severely deplete the house batteries. For that reason, it is better to run the engines at the same time. If you have the Generator running there is no need to use the Inverter. Blue Lagoon is equipped with a built-in Marinco 2000-Watt power inverter that allows you to have access to all outlets when the boat is underway. -
Page 9: Engine Start Procedures
4. Engine start procedure You have two engines and therefore two start panels. You must switch on both engines to manoeuvre the vessel. Start the port engine first then the stbd afterwards. • Make sure that the throttles are in neutral. •... -
Page 10: Daily Engine Checks
5. Daily Engine Checks The engines are in the transoms, one in each hull. It is important that you complete the following checks on both engines. • Check the oil level using the dip stick located on the right of the engine. The level should be at least halfway between the empty and full marks. -
Page 11: Generator
6. Generator YOU MUST NOT RUN THE GENERATOR WHEN UNDERWAY. Blue Lagoon is fitted with its own Onan generator which will run the 110v outlets, the air conditioning and will also charge the batteries instead of the engine. The generator is in the cockpit floor locker and is self-regulating and therefore there are no daily checks to perform. - Page 12 Starting the Generator: • Make sure the 110v systems are off prior to starting the generator. • Ensure that you have switched from shore power to generator power (See Section 10) • Press the Prime switch for 5 seconds. • Press and hold the Start button until you hear the generator start.
- Page 13 Resetting the generator If the generator is running but the 110 sockets and Ac units are not powering up, reset breaker to the left of generator control panel. Cummins Onan Generator Generator Reset Breaker DC Circuit Breakers, Emergency Stop, Hour meter and Start/Stop (Prime)
- Page 14 Generator raw water strainer: Please do not run the generator when sargassum seaweed is present. The generator raw water strainer is in the generator compartment to the right of the genset and can pick up seaweed and other debris in the water. This can cause your generator to malfunction because of the lack of water flow.

Page 15: Air Conditioning
7. Air conditioning The air conditioning units will operate when the vessel is plugged in to shore power or when the generator is running. Each cabin has its own individual air conditioning unit and there is a 5 unit located in the salon. The air conditioning units should be turned on after the generator has been running for 5 minutes (or once the boat is plugged into shore power) and the breakers should be shut off before stopping the generator or unplugging from shore power. - Page 16 Diagram Description of Control Display Panel and Indicators Data Display - Large LCD readout displays current temperature, Fan Speed Indicator - A row of five bars indicate the current fan set point, programmed values and error messages. speed, with more bars indicating a higher fan speed and fewer bars indicating a lower fan speed.

Page 21: Batteries
10. Batteries There are 3 ways to recharge your batteries. Engines: 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 engines are running at 1400rpms or more, whether sitting at a mooring or motoring to a destination. - Page 23 11. Anchoring & the windlass Setting your anchor: Preparation: • Establish a nonverbal communication system between helmsperson and windlass operator, as with the noise of the engine and wind, verbal communication proves difficult. • Shorten the painter so that it cannot go under the yacht and wrap around the prop. Location: •...
- Page 24 • If the hook falls of the chain, it means that there is not enough tension on the line. You may need to hold slight tension on the snubbing line as you deploy more chain until the snubber takes the load of the anchorage. Engage reverse, slowly building up to 1500 rpm to really drive your anchor into the sand.
- Page 25 ELECTIC WINCH There is a two-speed electric winch at the helm station. Turn cap to expose the buttons or the cover the buttons to prevent accidental use of the winch. When using the electric winch keep an eye on the sail as it is going up to make sure battens don’t get caught in the lazy jack lines. Windlass and winch Breaker The windlass and the winch breaker will trip if either of the units are overloaded.

Page 27: Bilge Pumps
13. Bilge Pumps Your yacht is equipped with two manual and two electric bilge pumps (one in each hull). The primary bilge pumps are on float switches and operate automatically providing that the bilge pump switch on the 12v panel is left in the center position. If the float switch fails, the pumps can be forced to operate by pushing the switch located on the 12v panel. -
Page 28: Fresh Water Systems
14. Freshwater system Blue Lagoon is equipped with two inter-connected water tanks with a combined capacity of 160 gallons. There are therefore no changeover valves. Before filling the tanks let the water run from the hose for a while before placing the end into the filler located amidships on the bow, just in front of the salon windows. -
Page 29: Heads
15. Heads • Nothing is to be put down the head unless it has been digested first. • Blue Lagoon is fitted with electric heads. Blocked heads due to any other blockage other than mechanical failure of parts is at the charterer’s expense as per your charter contract. - Page 30 Each head on Blue Lagoon has a fully operational holding tank which can be used by closing a valve on the waste seacock. These are in cupboards in each head or shower. Check that the holding tanks are empty before returning the vessel and please flush each one through to minimize residual odors.

Page 31: Showers
16. Showers Your yacht has a hot & cold, fresh-water shower in each head and on each of the transoms. If the engine has been running, the hot water can be very hot – be cautious! Hot water is generated automatically through running the main engines. Hot water can also be created by turning on the water heater breaker on the 110v panel with the generator running or on shore power. - Page 32 17. Propane and stove The propane tank locker is in the cockpit beneath the fwd seating. There are two propane tanks, one connected to the supply and one spare. To use: • Turn on the Propane switch on the 12v panel. This opens the solenoid on the tank. •...

Page 37: Dinghy And Outboard
21. Dinghy & Outboard The driver of the dinghy must be over 18 and must always be wearing the kill cord. Never operate the dinghy under the influence of alcohol or drugs. • Always tow your dinghy on a short line while motoring and a long line while sailing, always tow with the engine leg up as it gives you an extra half knot. - Page 38 Outboard start procedure: 1. Place Kill cord under kill switch (Dinghy driver must always wear the kill cord). 2. Open vent on fuel tank cap (this vent can stay open; it allows air out but will not allow water to go in). The fuel in the tank expands in this climate and if vent is left closed it can damage the tank and cause a fuel leak.
- Page 39 Dinghy Davit Lift: • Refit dinghy plug if it was removed to drain water from the dinghy while on the davits. • Ensure the davit line is around a winch before opening the clutch to lower the dinghy. • When lifting the dinghy, the davit line can go from the davits to the electric winch at the helm station.
