Summary of Contents for SeaSport Salmon Shark
- Page 1 Salmon Shark Operation Manual and Boater’s Handbook...
- Page 2 The Salmon Shark is a SeaSport 2700 Navigator. Operation Salmon Shark is powered by a single Volvo Penta KAD41 diesel engine coupled to a DP-E outdrive. The most efficient cruising speed is approximately 18-22 knots @ 3200 rpms. • Never operate this engine over 3400 rpm.
- Page 3 If the engine fails to turn over and you don’t believe you have dead batteries, it is possible and most likely that the starter solenoid is not working. Try tapping the starter with something heavy (hammer or lead weight). Solenoid malfunction is sometimes an issue among marine engines.
- Page 4 Boat Loading Load the boat so that it sits level. Listing is better corrected by moving gear rather than by using trim tabs. Trim tabs will slow you down and decrease efficiency. Do not overload the vessel as this will stress the engine and drive and may cause unsafe stability issues.
- Page 5 Auxiliary Power An outboard provides auxiliary power. There is a tiller extension handle onboard for steering. Fuel for the motor is supplied via an internal 7 gallon tank. Electrical System The boat is equipped with two group 27 batteries which are located forward of the engine.
- Page 6 Fish Hold A large fish box is located forward of the engine compartment. Please clean it well. You will be charged a cleaning fee if it is left dirty. Electronics A Garmin multifunction display offers GPS charting, radar, and broadband sonar functions.
- Page 7 Sink The sink is located under the captain’s seat. A 30 gallon freshwater tank provides fresh water. Take care not to crush the spout when you lower the seat. Marine Head The marine head is a manual pump system with a holding tank, macerator, and dock pumpout fitting.
- Page 8 Safety Equipment Adult personal floatation devices located in the cuddy cabin. Flares, first aid kit, fire extinguishers, a throwable floatation device, and a smoke/CO detector are onboard. Become familiar with their locations prior to departing. Anchoring The anchor system consists of a 22lb Bruce anchor, 20’ of chain, and 600’ of line. The winch is operated by the control on the dash.
- Page 9 Raft An Achilles raft is onboard for shore excursions. Take care in where you land the raft as sharp rocks and barnacles will puncture the raft. You are responsible for damage to the raft. Always wear a life jacket and be prepared while ashore. Remember to take adequate safety equipment, food and water, and to be mindful of tidal and weather conditions.
