  • Page 9: Batteries

    3. Batteries There are 3 ways to recharge your batteries. Engine: 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 engine is running at 1400rpms or more, whether sitting at a mooring or motoring to a destination.
  • Page 10 Generator: Switch the two selector switches at the navigation station from shore power to ship (generator power). Ensure the battery charger switch on the 110v panel is on. In all instances, ensure the battery charger switch on the 110v panel is on. Battery Switches: Domestic (Main) and Engine battery switches (Locker at entrance to stbd aft cabin).

  • Page 11: Inverter

    4. 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. Second Wind 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 16: Daily Engine Checks

    Only operate the bow thrusters when the engine is switched on. To switch the bow thrusters on, press the red and green buttons together. The LED will illuminate, and you will hear one beep. The bow thrusters will automatically switch off after 5 minutes.

  • Page 17: Generator

    • Check the oil level using dip stick located to the left side of the engine. Access the dip stick from the starboard cabin engine hatch. The level should be at least halfway between the empty and full marks. To add oil, open the oil filler cap on the top of the engine. •...
  • Page 18 YOU MUST NOT RUN THE GENERATOR WHEN UNDERWAY. Second Wind 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 19 Stopping the generator • Turn off all 110v systems (air conditioning units and battery charger). • Allow the generator to run for 5 mins without load to cool down. • Push down quickly on the bottom of the switch and release. •...
  • Page 20 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 21: Air Conditioning

    9. Air conditioning 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. Ensure the companionway and all hatches are closed;...
  • Page 22 Bleeding the system If the air condition unit shuts down with a ‘HI PF’ error code, that means there is an air lock in the cooling system. This problem can be resolved by bleeding the air out of the line, but it is important that you call the Horizon Duty Manager before attempting to do this.

Most radios have a button to instantly select Channel 16 – ensure you understand how this operates or you could end up speaking on Ch.
  • Page 25 remember to get as much information as possible about your location, the other vessel’s description and what damage has been done to your vessel so that we can best assist you. Failure to report any accidents or incidents in a timely manner may result in nullification of your hull damage insurance.
  • Page 26 Types of emergency: In the unlikely event that you are involved in an emergency stay calm and follow these steps. You will also have an Emergency Procedure card next to your VHF. Distress: “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY.” This is an International Distress signal and an imperative call for assistance.

  • Page 27: Anchoring And Windlass

    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 28 Setting a secondary anchor: • Your secondary anchor is a quick set type of anchor and is usually stored in the cockpit locker. It has 30 feet of chain and about 170 feet of line. For this reason, we have always found it easiest to put this chain in the dinghy with two people and deploy it from there.
  • Page 29 Remove the safety line or safety pin, and push the anchor over the bow, keeping hands and feet clear. Control the rate the chain pays out by tightening or loosening the wing nut with the stainless handle. When you have paid out enough chain, between 5 to 8 times the water depth, push the handle forward to tighten the wing nut.
  • Page 30 Electric winches: Second Wind’s cockpit if fitted with four electrical winches, each winch has a two-speed control next to it, slow and fast (one and two). A lot of care must be taken when using electric winches since user error can cause serious bodily harm.
  • Page 31 Electric winch Electric winch controls Electric winch breakers are behind the starboard aft cabin door below generator battery switches.

  • Page 32: Picking Up A Mooring Ball

    13. Picking up a mooring buoy • Ensure the dinghy painter is tied off short on the bow or amidships and is clear of the prop. • Approach the mooring buoy, keeping the bow into the wind or current, whichever prevails. •...

  • Page 33: Bilge Pumps

    14. Bilge pumps Your yacht is equipped with an automatic and a manual bilge pump. The primary electric pump is operated by a switch on the 12v panel which should be left in the ‘AUTO’ position as the pump is operated by a float switch which will automatically operate the pump when there is water in the bilge.

  • Page 34: Fresh Water Systems

    15. Freshwater system Second Wind is equipped with two water tanks with a capacity of 185 gallons split between them. The fwd tank is 100 US gallons. The salon tank is 85 US gallons. To fill the tanks, let the water run from the hose for awhile before placing the end into the fillers that are located port fwd and starboard amidships.

  • Page 35: Heads

    16. Heads • Nothing is to be put down the head unless it has been digested first. • Prior to use, add some water to the bowl by pressing the left side of the bottom switch. • To rinse out the bowl and rinse through the lines press the top button. This draws water into the bowl and through the lines.

  • Page 37: Showers

    17. Showers Your yacht has a hot & cold, fresh-water shower in each head and on the transom. If the engine has been running, the hot water can be very hot – be careful! In order to use the shower, the fresh-water pump must be activated on the 12v panel. The transom shower is located behind the port helm.

  • Page 38: Refrigeration

    18. Refrigeration The system on this boat is an upgraded 12v refrigerator and separate freezer. This system is designed to run 24hrs a day if you wish. To ensure that it does not fail keep your batteries charged. If the level goes below 12.2v the fridge and the freezer will automatically cut out. Refer to section 6 for instructions on how to charge your batteries.
  • Page 39 19. Propane and stove Second Wind is fitted with a three-burner stove and oven. Propane tank is below port helm seat. To use: • The solenoid control panel is located to the right of the stove. Hold the red safety switch down and press in on the top of the button.
  • Page 40 If you smell propane: • Close the valve on the propane tank. • Switch off everything electrical. • Check the stove and surrounding area for propane smell. • If detected, open all bilges and hatches. Point the boat downwind and use the manual bilge pump to pump out the bilges.

  • Page 41: Fire Safety

    20. Fire Safety Fire extinguishers are installed in each cabin, in the galley, at the Nav desk and in the cockpit locker. Prevention is the best answer to fire safety. • Always switch off the safety solenoid when stove is not in use •...

  • Page 44: Dinghy And Outboard

    23. 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 45 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.
