Cool Runnings
Hunter 33
Dear Friends,
Welcome aboard Cool Runnings, which means "safe journey." We placed Cool Runnings
in charter with San Juan Sailing after enjoying her all to ourselves for four years in the
Pacific Northwest. Before that, we chartered sailboats from San Juan Sailing, so we have
been in your shoes as a charter guest.
Cool Runnings is a Hunter 33, one of the most popular mid-sized Hunter models, and we
think she is very well-suited for cruising adventures in the Pacific Northwest. We love
her easy handling under power or sail, the comfortable cockpit with a cockpit arch, and
the stern rail seats. Down below, we love the extra long berths in the aft and forward
cabins and the spacious convertible dinette in the light and airy main cabin.
For the 2019 season, we added a new main sail, an AIS transceiver, and a new
refrigerator.
We've made many wonderful cruising memories in the San Juan Islands and points
north...our hope is that you enjoy Cool Runnings as much as we do. If something comes
up, please feel free to give us a call at (360) 298-8764.
If you would like to suggest anything that would make her more enjoyable for you, please
let us know through San Juan Sailing. We've tried not to overlook any detail in our effort
to equip her for comfortable, fun and safe travels.
We wish you wonderful memories and "Cool Runnings" on your voyage. Thank you for
being our guests!
Sincerely,
John and JoAnn Satzinger
Cool Runnings

Page 5: Emergency Equipment
1 – Emergency Equipment Highlights • 3 fire extinguishers: in the aft cabin, the forward cabin, and on the port side of the companionway. The engine compartment also has an automatic Halon fire suppression system. • 4 inflatable vests. These are manual inflatable vests. They do not inflate automatically when wet from rain. -
Page 6: Anchors
2. Anchors Highlights • Engine must be running when using the windlass • Please be careful of fingers and feet around the windlass • 35 lbs. Lewmar Delta primary, 150' chain, 150 ’line, 10' yellow paint at 100'. White paint marks at 25’, 50’ and 75’. •... - Page 7 To Deploy Anchor: 1 – Check tide tables to determine current water level and direction and amount of change expected while anchored. 2 – Weather (Ch 4, “Northern Inland Waters”) helps select an anchorage. 3 – The windlass main circuit breaker is below the chart table next to the battery switch. This should normally remain on.
-
Page 8: Barbecue
To Retrieve Anchor: 1 – Start the engine! The windlass draws a lot of amps! Move forward over the anchor. 2 – After removing the snubber, depress “up” switch, always assuring the chain is vertical during retrieval—this avoids either towing the boat or dragging the chain against the hull. -
Page 9: Batteries/Charging/Inverter
4. Batteries/Charging/Inverter Highlights • No need to touch the battery switch. Leave the switch on #1 for the house bank (Main). • House batteries – Bank #1 has 150 usable amp hours (Ah) (300 total) • Start battery – Bank #2 is normally not used unless the house bank is depleted. •... -
Page 10: Berths And Bedding
Battery Monitor: 1 – The Xantrex LinkPRO battery monitor is located below the starboard settee. It is used to check usage and state of the house battery bank (main). Scroll through the values by pressing the arrow keys. It shows the battery voltage, current draw in amps, amp hours used, and percent of amp hours used. -
Page 11: Bilge Pumps
- Berth measurements are under Boat Specifications above. Bilge Pumps Highlights • Emergency Hand Pump: Handle in the port cockpit locker. Pump is on port side under helm seat. • Electric Bilge Pump: It is always ready to run automatically. Details ... -
Page 12: Dinghy And Outboard
8. Dinghy and outboard Highlights • 10' rigid inflatable dinghy with Hypalon tubes and fiberglass hull (2016), 2hp Honda outboard on stern rail. • Tow 6' off stern, place loop over port aft cleat; tie off bitter end • Please don't tow with OB attached, or leave on overnight—may flip Details We have learned these precautions, please: 1 –... -
Page 13: Electrical Panel
• The Raymarine chartplotter is touchscreen/pinch zoom and has an assortment of preset pages (charts, radar, music, data) including split screen pages. • The two Raymarine 70 series instruments at the helm include an assortment of data. On the right is the autopilot control (which also displays other data). The other instrument on the left allows you to scroll through different views;... - Page 14 • On the main screen, press the page icon you want to display (chart, radar, chart and radar etc.) • Before you arrive, install the free Raymarine RayControl app on your iPad or Android tablet and you can connect to the chart plotter via wifi and view and control the plotter from anywhere on the boat.
- Page 15 Details 1 – On 12 volt panel, first switch on the Instruments switch (for network) 2 – Next switch on the GPS (chart plotter) switch 3 – The chart plotter should begin start up. It takes some time to boot. If nothing happens, press the power button to turn it on.
- Page 16 Radar: Highlights • Raymarine digital color radar overlays onto chart display, displays alone on the screen, or displays in a separate window along side of the chart. • The radar switch on the 12 volt panel must be on.
- Page 17 Depthsounder The Raymarine depthsounder transducer is calibrated in feet and is set to read from the transducer, which is about a foot below water level. If you assume the reading is from the top of the water, you will have a very modest 1 foot safety margin. Due to rocks, we get nervous in anything less than 30 feet underway and 15 feet in an anchorage.
- Page 18 Knotmeter You have two speed sources: speed through the water (shown as the speed value in knots on the i70 instrument) and speed over ground (shown as the SOG value on the p70 autopilot instrument, which uses GPS data and takes current into account). The speed through water and SOG should be closely calibrated and can reveal important information.

Page 19: Engine
12. Engine Highlights • Yanmar 29hp 3 cylinder diesel, with PYI dripless shaft seal and 3 blade fixed prop. • The companionway stairs lift and slide out to access the engine front for daily engine “lookover”. This “before engine start” shows us in one quick view any black powder belt wear or loose belt, oil in bilge, or coolant spillage. - Page 20 To Start: 1. Assure throttle/gearshift is in neutral. Note that this is back about 1/3 rather than straight up. We depress the black button at the center of the gearshift handle and push the throttle forward about 1/3 to disengage the transmission for starting and warm up.
-
Page 21: Entertainment (Stereo)
The Fusion stereo communicates with the boat’s network and can be controlled by the Raymarine a75 chartplotter. For it to work properly, turn on the stereo before turning on the instruments and chartplotter breakers. The chartplotter has an icon page option for split screen with Chart/Music for controlling the Fusion stereo. -
Page 22: Fuel Tank
We don’t have a TV on board. We bring movies downloaded to our computer or iPad or use a notebook computer with a DVD drive. 14. Fuel Tank Highlights • The fuel gauge is in the engine panel at the starboard side of the cockpit. •... -
Page 23: Head And Holding Tanks
16. Head and Holding Tank Highlights • The toilet is manual and uses salt water. • Holding tank holds 25 gallons emptied either by pump out or macerator. • The deck fitting for pump out is starboard aft. • A macerator pumps out the holding tank overboard. Open the valve under the floor panel just forward of the engine, switch on macerator on the 12 volt panel, and then hold the switch just below on to run the pump. -
Page 24: Heaters
17. Heaters Highlights • Webasto forced air, set thermostat to desired temp • Use to warm the cabin before bed and in the morning • Not practical to run all night, noise wakes light sleepers • Portable electric heater for use on shorepower Details The Webasto thermostatically controlled forced air heating system draws from the main diesel fuel tank and runs off of the house batteries. -
Page 25: Propane
The electric heater is for marina use when plugged into the shore power. It is normally stowed in the cabinet of the aft cabin. 18. Propane Highlights • Turn on the LP switch on the 12 volt panel • Also turn on propane switch right side of sink counter (BBQ and stove) •... -
Page 26: Sails And Rigging
20. Sails and Rigging Highlights • Furling main and 100% furling jib • All lines led aft • Easy reefing by rolling in the main and jib • The key to the furling main is to roll it up tight by putting tension on the outhaul as the sail is rolled in. - Page 27 Furling the Main. It's very simple, really, if done right. But do it wrong—as frankly many charter guests have—and you have BIG trouble. First rule, never, ever, luff the main when furling in the sail. Keep just a little wind in the sail and hold onto the outhaul. Always keep tension on the outhaul so you get a nice tight wrap inside the mast, not a fat sausage with wrinkles- jams are sure to result.
- Page 28 The Jib: The Hunter 33 is a fractional rig, so the 100% jib is not very big, making unfurling/furling and tacking easy. Furling and unfurling is done just like with any other boat Unfurling the Jib: While on a close hauled tack (not into the wind), ready the appropriate sheet on the winch to pull out the sail.

Page 29: Showers And Sump Pump
21. Showers and Sump Pump Highlights • The shower head is pulled out from the sink in the head • Turn on the sump pump on the 12 volt panel • Sit or stand in the head using the hand held shower •... -
Page 30: Stove And Oven
Clothes and personal gear: Each stateroom has locker space. The forward locker is a hanging locker with shelf on top. The aft cabin has a lot of storage. We have converted the aft cabin hanging locker to shelves because boat hanging lockers just aren’t very functional. -

holding in the knob. Hold for a few seconds to heat the safety “thermocouple”, then release. Turn the knob to the left, counterclockwise, to go from “high” to “simmer”. To light the oven, set the knob to either broil (clockwise) or bake (counter clockwise).
