  • Page 2: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Mariah is a 2004 Nordic Tug 42, powered by a Cummins diesel engine, with a HP rating of 450 @ 2600 RPM. It can carry 600 gallons of fuel and 200 gallons of water. At a time when we are all conscious of high fuel prices, the Nordic Tug provides a real bargain.

  • Page 3: Nine Key Operation Notes

    5/7/20 9 Key Nuances to remember when operating Mariah Checking the oil: Remember to properly seat all dipsticks after checking oil levels. If not seated, oil will spray out and make a mess. Securing the tender: When returning the Tender, remember to install the two aft and one forward tie-down straps and the stabilizer bar if you anticipate heavy seas.

  • Page 4: Preparing For Departure

    5/7/20 PREPARING FOR DEPARTURE ENGINE ROOM CHECKS should be performed daily, before cruising. At the office station, turn ON the BILGE Lights. Enter the engine room aft of the galley through a hatch in the floor. Note: All fluids have been checked by a maintenance professional prior to your charter and it is very unlikely that these fluid levels would require servicing during your charter.
  • Page 5 5/7/20 separation of fluid in the bottom. (Water is heavier than diesel fuel and will collect at the bottom of the glass bowl if there is water in the fuel.) IF YOU SEE CONTAMINANTS OR LIQUID SEPARATION, you want to remove them without removing all the fuel in the glass bowl: With a collection container in place (stored behind the generator), open the black drain by partially unscrewing the valve at the bottom of the...
  • Page 6 5/7/20 On the dock, first turn OFF the shore power circuit breaker at the pedestal, and then disconnect the yellow electrical cord from the dock power. On the boat, disconnect the yellow electrical cord and store the cord coiled in the cord bag in the Lazarette.

  • Page 7: Getting Underway

    5/7/20 primary chart plotter. If both units are on it creates a low voltage condition and one or both units may not be fully functional. Turn on a VHF radio. (two VHF radios are installed) Check the weather channel. Turn on Channel 16. GETTING UNDERWAY Make sure that the shift lever is in the neutral position.
  • Page 8 5/7/20 Please make power changes slowly, rapid power changes can put great stress on engine and drive components. It is advisable after cruising for 4 hours or more at economical speeds (1100 to 1500 RPM), to run the engine at 2400 RPM for at least 5 min. prior to the end of the cruise day.

  • Page 9: Returning To The Dock

    5/7/20 *** RAW WATER ALARM*** Mariah is equipped with a raw water alarm located at the helm. The alarm will activate a light and a horn when the temperature of the wet exhaust pipe starts to increase toward and unsafe level. This could occur if the seawater intake or the sea strainer become clogged with vegetation or other debris.

  • Page 10: Connecting To Shore Power

    5/7/20 CONNECTING TO SHORE POWER At the OFFICE STATION electrical distribution panel, make sure the AC gang circuit breaker marked SHORE POWER is in the OFF position. Take the bright yellow electrical cord located in the Lazarette and connect it to the receptacle located forward of the starboard helm door.

  • Page 11: Closing The Boat

    Use the smaller plotter only if a failure should occur on the primary unit. Mariah has a custom Bose AM, FM, CD, DVD, TV video, Player with surround sound and Bluetooth capability.

  • Page 12: Fuel

    Note: use the AUX position on the Bose unit to hear your audio. FUEL Mariah has two (2) diesel fuel tanks located on the port and starboard sides of the engine room, under the salon. The fuel transfer manifold is located in the engine room on the aft bulkhead port side.
  • Page 13 SERVICING THE FUEL FILTERS Few things you do are as important to your safety on the water as having uncontaminated fuel Mariah is equipped with two RACOR fuel filters. (One filter for each tank) going to the engine! and are located aft of each fuel tank in the engine room. A vacuum/pressure gauge is read at the top of each filter.

  • Page 14: Water

    This is the simplest way but will not allow you to to use the fuel as a means to fine tune any listing that may be present. WATER There is a 200-gallon fresh water tank on Mariah. The tank and shutoff are located in the lazarette. CHECKING THE WATER LEVEL...

  • Page 15: Electrical: Shore Power/Generator

    5/7/20 The gauge for checking the water level is located at the office station. The ignition switch must be on to power this gauge. You may also check the sight gauge on the tank located in the lazarette. Just like the fuel tanks..the sight gauge’s are the most accurate method. FILLING THE WATER TANK 1.
  • Page 16 GENERATOR Mariah has an 11.5 kw Onan generator. You may need to use it if you have overnight anchorages of a day or more and have used the inverter to power AC systems. If you have been connected to shore power or are running the engine 5-6 hours a day, you should have adequate battery power.

  • Page 17: Head

    The washer will work with shore power or the generator. TOILETS Mariah has two toilets commonly referred to as “heads” in the marine world. Each head has its own enclosed shower, vanity, and sink. One is located in the master stateroom and the other across the passageway from the guest stateroom.
  • Page 18 RV or MARINE TOILET PAPER IS THE ONLY EXCEPTION! As it is designed to break up and dissolve in water. Mariah is supplied with this type of paper. Should you run out, please get more at the nearest marine or RV store. It is prudent to minimize the amount of marine toilet paper put in the head.

  • Page 19: Shower

    Add a few gallons of fresh water through the WASTE deck fitting with the available fresh water hose from the dock. (DO NOT USE Mariah’s WHITE FRESH WATER HOSE.) Reinsert the pump-out nozzle into the boat’s WASTE deck fitting and pump some more liquid out of the waste holding tank.

  • Page 20: Deck Wash

    5/7/20 exhaust fan when showering to remove moisture from the head. The dryer you can keep the inside of the boat, the less likely you will have a mildew problem. HOT WATER Hot water is provided by an 11-gallon tank heated electrically and by a heat exchanger from the engine.

  • Page 21: Heating System

    Start the generator and recharge the batteries when the D.C. voltmeter reads less than 12 volts. HEATING SYSTEM There are three sources of heat on Mariah: heat from the Hydronic Diesel furnace, Auxiliary electric heat when the generator is on, and small portable electric heaters for use when connected to shore power.

  • Page 22: Cell Phones

    5/7/20 • If the furnace does not seem to be producing heat after 20 min. Check the reservoir located in the false stack on top of the boat deck. If fluid is low add some 50/50 pre mixed antifreeze found inside the false stack on the boat deck. AUXILLARY ELECTRIC HEAT (used with shore power or the generator to heat the galley/salon area) The auxiliary electric heater is located at floor level below the refrigerator and is designed to heat the galley and salon area.

  • Page 23: Anchoring

    5/7/20 Lift out the cooking grill and the heat plate for cleaning. The exterior of the BBQ can be cleaned with soapy water. Lock the lid of the grill securely with the latches. Cover the grill with the canvas cover between use. ANCHORING SYSTEM CHAIN MARKINGS The anchor chain is 520’...
  • Page 24 5/7/20 begin to rise or tighten up. At initial indication of the chain rising, go to neutral and let the inertia complete the aft movement of the boat. When the chain is taught and begins to pull the boat forward, put the engine in reverse again but only at idle.

  • Page 25: Dinghy Or Tender

    Bring the end of the line back to Mariah and tie it to a cleat. Pull some extra line from the reel and tie it to a cleat.
  • Page 26 Note: The bow of the tender should be facing the port side of Mariah. This will allow passengers to board the tender using the hand- hold on the tender steering console.

  • Page 27: Launching/Retrieving Kayaks

    5/7/20 Check the gas level by observing the gauge on top of the fuel tank. Always stop the motor before refilling the tank. The Evinrude key is inside the salon door hanging over the antenna of the emergency transmitter or may have been left in the ignition switch. Start the motor: Check for an indication of water flowing out of the back of the motor.

  • Page 28: Salon And Pilot House Settee Conversion To A Bed

    Do this prior to launching the kayaks and remain in the tender to assist in positioning the kayaks for boarding. (See the instructions pg#23 for guidance on launching the tender) Leave the tender tied to Mariah and it will give you a stable platform to get in and out of the kayaks.

  • Page 29: Panel Pictures

    A mattress pad and additional blankets will be stored under the seat cushion in the office station, or under the large settee cushion in storage compartments. Advise San Juan Yachting staff if you plan on using the salon settee as a bed and they will provide additional linens.
  • Page 30 5/7/20...
  • Page 31 5/7/20 AC / SHORE POWER / GENERATOR PANELS AT THE OFFICE STATION NOTE: 1) The Magnum automatic Generator starting circuit must be armed (enable) to operate. 2) The red LED numbers indicate shore power is connected and indicating AC voltage. 3) The top breaker on the left column is the inverter/battery charger.
  • Page 32 5/7/20 DC PANEL NOTE: 1) Red flagged breakers stay off unless the system is required..they are (1) oil change pump, (2) sea water wash down, (3) bilge lights. The down rigger and spare breakers are not used. 2) The two meters are DC amps in use and DC system voltage...if the voltage reads less than 12 volts start the generator.
  • Page 33 5/7/20 XANTREX INVERTER PANEL and TANK WATCH PANEL NOTE: Normally the only switch you will operate on the tank watch panel is on the lower left side labeled “MACERATOR.” Use this switch to dump the waste tank. See the instructions in the notes...
  • Page 34 5/7/20 CLOSE UP VIEW OF THE INVERTER PANEL NOTE: 1) In this view the panel indicates the boat is either on shore power or the generator. Looking at the illuminated green led's from left to right, the first shows AC power is applied. The battery state is full, there is a 13.5 volt charge going into the batteries, 10 DC amps are being used, and the power-share feature is set to allow up to 30amps of available AC power to charge the batteries.
  • Page 35 5/7/20 XANTREX BATTERY MONITOR NOTE: 1) Think of this indicator as a battery fuel tank. It shows the amount of charge in the house battery bank. Every several days it will need to be re-calibrated or “synchronized”. You can reset the indicator by pressing the two outside buttons in for 3 seconds.
