Propane; Refrigerator/Freezer/Icebox - Raymarine Hunter 33 Owners’ Notes

Table of Contents

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

• Turn on the LP switch on the 12 volt panel

• Also turn on propane switch right side of sink counter (BBQ and stove)

• Open valve on propane tank

• For BBQ, also turn on yellow valve

• For safety, we turn off the LP switches/valves after stove or BBQ use

We have two aluminum propane tanks under the starboard helm seat, vented to the

outside for safety. Each tank normally lasts 2 weeks. The San Juan Sailing staff weighs

these tanks weekly to assure that you don't run out. If one tank empties, there is a spare

for your convenience.

Troubleshooting: If the stove won't start, check a) propane tank valve is full open, b) LP

solenoid switch is on, c) switch at side of galley sink in on, d) stove knob is first pushed

in, then left to the "ignite" position and after flame is held until the thermocouple heats.

If BBQ doesn't start, check a) in-line yellow valve near propane tank is parallel to hose,

b) BBQ control is pushed down at "start" before igniting.

Caution: propane is heavier than air. If leak is detected, extinguish all flames and

ventilate the bilges.

19. Refrigerator, freezer, and ice box

• Normally the refrigerator is left "on" all the time

• The switch is on the 12 volt panel

• If batteries are running low, turn off the refrigerator overnight.

• Inside on the left is a button for temperature with four settings. Normally,

setting 2 is fine for cooler weather, setting 3 for warmer weather.

The refrigerator is front loading, and with most boats, it is not very large. There is space

for two half gallon milk cartons on the door. There are two small shelves. The freezer

inside is large enough to hold a few steaks and chicken breasts. The icebox left of the

stove is top loading. It drains to the bilge if you use ice. We usually use it to hold fresh

vegetables and breads without ice.
