    oating afety ection Boating Safety Boating safety is your responsibility. You must fully understand the operating procedures and safety precautions in the Owner’s Information kit and this owner’s guide before you operate your new boat. Safe boating is no accident. Safe Operation Safe operation includes, but is not limited to, the following.
  • Page 14 oating afety ection Adverse Conditions Weather At all times, the boat operator should be aware of present weather conditions and the weather forecast. Check the forecast before you begin a day of boating. Be aware, however, that weather conditions can change rapidly.

  • Page 15: Emergency Procedures

    oating afety ection Fog is a result of either warm-surface or cold-surface conditions. You can judge the likelihood of fog formation by periodically measuring the air temperature and dew point temperature. If the difference between these two temperatures is small, fog is likely to develop. Remember the following guidelines: •...
  • Page 16 oating afety ection Never: • Obstruct passage ways to exits and hatches. • Obstruct safety controls, such as fuel valves and electrical system switches. • Obstruct portable fire extinguishers in lockers. • Leave the boat unattended when cooking or heating appliances are in use.
  • Page 17 oating afety ection Swamped or Capsized Boat If your boat becomes swamped or capsizes, put on a personal flotation device immediately and set off a distress signal. Chances are good a capsized boat will stay afloat. For this reason, stay with the boat. Do not leave the boat or try to swim to shore except under extreme conditions.
  • Page 18 oating afety ection Man Overboard You should know what to do in case someone falls overboard. Emergency procedures are published in Chapman’s and instruction is offered by the U.S. Coast Guard. If a person falls overboard, hypothermia may be an immediate concern. Hypothermia occurs when a person’s body loses heat faster than the body can replace it.

  • Page 19: Safety Equipment

    oating afety ection Safety Equipment (this next section to page 11 applies for U.S. ownership only) Note: Federal law requires you to provide and maintain safety equipment onboard your boat. Consult U.S. Coast Guard, state and local regulations to ensure your boat has all required safety equipment onboard.
  • Page 20 Sound Signaling Device Your boat must have an operable device that can produce a sound signal if conditions require. A horn is standard equipment on all Marquis models. Boats longer than 39' 4", must have a bell and a whistle. These devices must meet the requirements of the Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980.

    AC E lECtriCAl yStEm ECtion AC Electrical System Your boat is equipped with a 50 amp AC (alternating current) electrical system. The power for this system is supplied by either a shore power source or the generator. The procedures for connecting to a shore power source and to the generator are explained later in this section.

  • Page 44: Shore Power

    The shore power supply to your refrigerator may be interrupted and your food may spoil. A Tip From Marquis! Keeping a bag of ice cubes in your refrigerator freezer section will help in maintaining the temperature if the power is disconnected for a short time. If the ice has melted this indicates a loss of power for a long period and all food should be considered spoiled.

If this indicator illuminates, immediately switch the Shore circuit breaker group OFF. I f you are in Germany or Italy, disconnect the shore power cord from the shore power source outlet, rotate the cord’s plug 180 degrees, then plug the cord into the outlet again. Repeat connection procedure. If the Reverse Polarity indicator illuminates again, disconnect the shore power cord. Notify marina management of the reverse polarity problem and use a different shore power source box. I f you are not in Germany or Italy, disconnect the shore power cord. Notify marina management of the reverse polarity problem and use a different shore power source box. I f the Power Available indicator illuminates, power is now available to the other circuit breakers on the AC Control Center. Only people who are trained and experienced in working with electricity should service your boat’s high voltage AC electrical system.
  • Page 47 Never turn the Generator Master Disconnect switch to OFF while the generator is operating. Doing this can damage the generator or it’s alternator wiring. A Tip From Marquis! Dedicating a 12-volt battery to the generator provides an important safety feature. A dedicated battery enables you to start the generator regardless of the condition of the propulsion engine batteries.
  • Page 48 AC E lECtriCAl yStEm ECtion Do not operate the generator when its cooling system seacock is closed. Operating the generator in this manner can damage it. 5. Open the cooling system’s seacock. 6. Switch all Bilge Blower circuit breakers on the DC Control Center ON. 7.

  • Page 60 This is normal and is caused by an accumulation of air bubbles at the pressure water pump. To re-prime the fresh water system, repeat the steps Pressurizing and Priming the Water System. A Tip From Marquis! If your boat will be left unattended for at least a few days, switch the Pressure Water Pump circuit breaker OFF. If this breaker is left on, pressure in the fresh water system may fall and cause the water pressure pump to engage. If this happens frequently, it could discharge your batteries.
  • Page 61 - Filling the Water Tank and Pressurizing and Priming the Water System before turning on the water heater. A Tip From Marquis! To obtain the most consistent shower temperature, turn on the cold water faucet fully, then slowly turn on the hot water faucet until the water flowing from the shower head is at the desired temperature.
  • Page 62 Fresh water washdown is especially useful if you operate your boat in salt water. A Tip From Marquis! Remember that the fresh water washdown system draws its water from the boat’s fresh water tanks. Prolonged use of the washdown system quickly reduces the amount of fresh water in the water tanks.
  • Page 63 nternal yStem ectIon Fresh Water washdown - Bow Fresh Water washdown - Aft Cablemaster Shore Water Anchor Guide Shore Water Your boat has a shore water fitting that enables your fresh water system to draw water from a land water source while your boat is docked. When you use shore water you are not drawing water from the onboard water tank. NOTE: Connecting your boat to shore water bypasses the boat’s fresh water tank and pressure water pump, therefore the water tank does not get filled.

  • Page 64: Bilge System

    Bilge System Your boat contains three automatic bilge pumps in the Marquis for U.S. (domestic) and five pumps for the Marquis built for the international market. The bilge is the lowest point in the interior of the boat’s hull where any water that finds its way into the hull will accumulate. Each bilge pump can remove up to 2000 gallons of water per hour. The bilges include: • A forward bilge pump is located just forward of the forward engine room bulkhead. Access this pump by lifting the stairs to the lower deck area. • Amidships bilge pump is located just forward of the engines.
  • Page 65 nternal yStem ectIon Bilge System (continued) Never store anything in the bilges. Storing loose items in the bilges could damage pumps, pipes or other components that are essential for the proper operation of your boat. If you keep your boat in a climate where temperatures can drop below freezing, make sure that all water within the bilges is drained before you store the boat for the winter.

  • Page 66: Sanitation System

    This light indicates that the pumps are operating. A Tip From Marquis! A small amount of water always collects in your boat’s bilge. This water is usually not enough to activate the automatic switch. While underway and on plane, use the helm switches to manually turn the bilge pumps on and let them run for 30 seconds to a minute. When your boat is on plane, water in the bilge flows to the...

Reattach the vacuum hose to the deck fitting and activate the pumpout vacuum again to remove the fresh water and any remaining waste. 6. Replace the deck plate(s). A Tip From Marquis! The WASTE deck plate is not connected to the fitting and does not float. Be careful that you don’t drop the plate in the water when you remove it. If you do lose the plate, you can order a replacement from your Marquis Dealer. WASTE deck plates are dropped overboard frequently enough that we suggest you carry an extra in your onboard spare parts kit. 3837 •U3 10/07...
  • Page 71 Overboard Discharge In certain coastal areas of the world it is legal to discharge the waste from your boat’s waste tanks into the sea. To accommodate this procedure Marquis offers an optional overboard discharge system for your boat. This system is available only on boats that are exported or used in the coastal areas of the United States.

    Additionally, the entire fuel system passed Marquis’s own pressure testing and inspection. Before your boat is delivered, your Marquis Dealer also makes a full inspection of the fuel system. An entry on the Marquis Pre-Delivery Service Record verifies the dealer’s completion of this inspection.

  • Page 76: Fuel Systems - Diesel

    roPulsion ection Fuel Transfer System During refueling and because the generator draws fuel only from the starboard fuel tank, the fuel levels in the tanks may become unequal. If this occurs, open the fuel valves on top of tanks, operate the fuel transfer pump from the helm and observe the fuel gauges to determine when the fuel levels are equal.

  • Page 77: Cooling System

    roPulsion ection Cooling System - Diesel Each propulsion engine has a closed cooling system which removes heat from the engine and its exhaust system. Closed systems use a freshwater/antifreeze mixture to cool the engine. This coolant mixture runs through a heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to seawater taken in through a seacock for each engine.
  • Page 78 roPulsion ection FUEL SYSTEM - Gas Option Over time, water can condense inside the fuel tanks, especially in areas with high humidity. This water can then react with the fuel in the tanks to create a mixture that can corrode the tanks from the inside. To avoid this: • Use the fuel in the fuel tanks as often and as completely as possible.

  • Page 87: Navigation

    Understanding navigation is very important when operating your yacht on the open seas. Instructions on how to navigate your yacht are beyond the scope of this guide. Marquis encourages you to read Chapman’s Piloting and Seamanship and obtain instruction regarding how to navigate your yacht.
  • Page 88 perating and aneuvering ectiOn Controlling the Yacht Every yacht owner should know how to perform the following procedures competently. Do not attempt any of these procedures without first receiving appropriate training. Loading When you load items onto the yacht, have someone on the pier hand them to you after you have boarded the yacht.
  • Page 89 perating and aneuvering ectiOn If you use a dinghy to reach your yacht, make sure the dinghy line does not foul the propeller. After getting onboard, start the engines and send someone forward to slacken the line. Release the line. In a river with current, the yacht will gain headway with the current.
  • Page 90 perating and aneuvering ectiOn Anchoring (continued) Approach your selected anchor site from downwind. Come to a dead stop over the spot where you want to drop anchor. Anchor can be lowered from either the helm or from the bow of the yacht with foot switches. When the anchor hits bottom, reverse engines and slowly move the yacht backward to pay out more anchor line.
  • Page 91 perating and aneuvering ectiOn Mooring Lines It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with mooring line terminology and using mooring lines. If necessary, obtain training on mooring your yacht. Learn how and when to tie the various knots used in seamanship. Yachts that are not moored correctly can suffer and cause serious damage.
