  • Page 4: Main Engine Checkout (Pre-Start)

    Please read this complete manual thoroughly and ask AYC about anything that is not clear or that may be missing. Taking the time to read this manual completely will save you time, money, and risk of injury when arrive on holiday. 1.
  • Page 5 Inspect the Racor fuel filters and make sure they are clear and do not have water or debris accumulated in the bottom by shining the flashlight through the filter housing towards yourself. There are 2 filters per engine. If water is present, it may be drained out through the valve on the bottom of the filter housing.
  • Page 6 They will also sound when the engines are running if coolant temperature exceeds a safe operating temperature, and the alarms receive signals from one of several sensors at different locations on the engine. If you hear these alarms when the engine is running beyond the first several seconds or underway, there is probably an emergency situation and the engines should be dropped to an idle for 10 to 15 seconds while you observe the dash gauges for oil pressure and temperature condition.
  • Page 7 START ENGINES: 1) Turn ignition key fully to the right engine should start in 5 seconds or less. Repeat for second engine. 2) Let the engines warm up. 3) Voltmeter gauge will read 26-28 volts. 4) Oil pressure will read around 50 psi or above for cold engines. Warm engines will read in the 30‘s when idling but should never be at zero for a running engine.

Inverter (feeds both of the two120v panel areas) but none of the 240 panel area is available There are 2 sections of the 120-volt panel area, the upper section draws power from the second leg of the 240 current and the lower section from the other.

  • Page 10: Shore Power: General

    B. SHORE POWER: GENERAL Important!! Make sure you read this section and understand it completely! Special Considerations: Care should be taken not to exceed the shore power available. This vessel’s potential to consume electricity will exceed the dock’s capacity to provide it unless you are connected to 50 Amp power.

  • Page 11: Generator Starting And Use

    C. GENERATOR STARTING AND USE When shore power is unavailable, the generator can fully power the boat. It is a good idea to run the generator every day that you have not been connected to shore power to recharge all the batteries.

    4. Be careful on entering the engine room not to turn inverter switch off (located near the bottom of the DC Battery switch panel and located where it can be hit accidentally with your leg. E. ELECTRIC WATER HEATER The electric water heater runs off of the 120-volt system. The circuit breaker is on the 120-volt panel.

  • Page 13: Battery Switches

    For safety, Windlass Control breaker should be OFF except when using the windlass. Holding Tank Pump and Raw Water Wash Down Pump should be OFF. NOTE: all bilge pump breakers should be ON and switches should be set to automatic all the time. The 24-volt circuit breakers are located on the top of the DC panel.

  • Page 14: The Vacu-Flush Heads

    THE VACU-FLUSH HEADS These premium heads are easy to use, odor free, and very reliable. They work with two separate vacuum pumps and vacuum accumulator tanks. A vacuum is maintained in the tank until the head is used, when the waste matter in the bowl is sucked out of the head by the vacuum, then it is pumped through the system by the head pump, which then also pumps up a vacuum again.
  • Page 15 mis-use! When it comes to tissue, usually “four squares are enough!” If the toilet bowl becomes clogged from too much paper try one again to flush but DO NOT HOLD THE PEDAL DOWN CONTINUOUSLY!! The toilet bowl fills with water whenever the pedal is depressed.
  • Page 16 pump and two bilge pumps. MEG ANN lll is equipped with holding tank indicators on the DC Panel. A deck plate on the starboard side deck allow pumping of the holding tank at a shore-side waste pump out station. A mobile service is available through the marinas at Friday Harbor and Roche Harbor.

  • Page 17: Stove Top

    As note before, pumping out the holding tank is done one of two ways. There is a deck pump out port on the starboard side (at about the mid salon) for use with marina pump out stations. Also, the boat is equipped with a macerator overboard pump. The contents of the holding tank can be pumped overboard with the macerator pump in appropriate areas.

The refrigerator/freezer will remain cold during the night. Remember to turn on the refrigerators or the inverter in the morning or the generator (necessary for hot water for showers) Flybridge: There is an under counter style mini fridge / icemaker under the sink counter.
  • Page 19 RESTRICTED VISIBILITY. You should confine your use of the radar to familiarization and training only in weather with good visibility. NOTE: RADAR IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR VISIBILITY AND CANNOT DISPLAY ALL OBSTACLES OR DANGERS. (Example: it is impossible for radar to see the cable between a tug and its tow, or realize that that is the situation without visible clues.) Only use radar for supplemental information or when seeking shelter if caught in fog.
  • Page 20 The boat is equipped with a Raytheon “Raypilot” Autopilot. The primary control is at the lower helm. A second smaller remote control is at the upper helm on the starboard side of the console. The autopilot also has a rudder display in the pilothouse unit. NOTE: The auto pilot does not have a dedicated breaker on the DC panel.
  • Page 21 Turn on the switch located on the control panel. Use the joy stick to move the light up, down, left or right. GENERAL VESSEL OPERATION Always operate the vessel from the helm station that provides sufficient visibility given your course, speed, and sea conditions. During docking maneuvers that may require backing, always operate from fly bridge as there is little visibility astern from the pilot house.

  • Page 22: Setting Anchor

    SETTING ANCHOR CREW NOTE: The skipper will signal when to drop the anchor. Make sure the chain dog is clear to allow the chain out. Open the deck switch cover with the arrow pointing forward. Start with a few taps on the windlass deck switch to let the anchor roll off slowly and without suddenly dropping.

  • Page 23: Checklists & Maneuvering Suggestions Shore Lines

    Here is a bay that can accommodate 8 - 10 boats, yet it is only about 150' wide and 200' long! Boats attach their bows to the mooring buoys or, in a few cases, anchor; and then their sterns are secured to rings provided in the steep cliffs overlooking the bay. Boats are thus perhaps only 15-20' apart, side to side.
  • Page 24 When setting the anchor let out 50ft more than you have determined you will need, set the anchor backing up slowly until it grabs, then set it with one engine in reverse. If it holds, return to neutral and take up the extra 50 ft of chain. When selecting an anchoring location check the depth in all areas you expect the boat to swing (360°), then look up the current depth on a tide chart and calculate the depth you are at at high and low tides to determine the adequacy of your selection.

  • Page 25: Weighing Anchor

    WEIGHING ANCHOR CREW NOTE: You will be signaling the skipper which direction to move in order to retrieve the anchor. The objective is to always have the chain vertical when retrieving. NEVER allow the boat to run over the chain, or pull the boat with the windlass. Do not force a stuck anchor with the windlass.
  • Page 26 Preparation 1. Get the davit control out of storage area located under the sink in the fly bridge area. 2. Connect controls wire cable to the connector on aft side of the davit arm and screw to base using 1/4 turn. 3.

  • Page 27: Re-Loading Dinghy To The Flybridge

    to the starboard side of MEG ANN lll. IF the dinghy starts to swing, stop it using the bow and stern lines until it is steady. Note: as the dingy moves to the side of the MEG ANN lll it will cause a slight list to the port which in turn will make the dingy and boom want to swing out.

  • Page 28: Operating The Dinghy

    2. Follow the steps in offloading the dingy to center the boom over the centerline of the chucks before swinging it over the side to retrieve the dingy. 3. Rotate the davit arm outboard until it is over the dinghy lift ring. 4.

  • Page 29: Stacked Washer/Dryer

    LET CHILDREN RIDE UP AND DOWN, it will break (and has) with this type of use. STACKED WASHER/DRYER Running the washer/dryer requires 50-amp shore power or running the generator. It works well so long as it is not overloaded. The dryer vents to the outside. As with all dryers remove lit from the screen after each use.

  • Page 34 This can happen if you “pull the boat to the anchor” with the windlass. You should move the boat under power until it is over the anchor, or, even better, slightly ahead of it before hauling. Usually this will clear it. Otherwise, take a line and form a fixed, loose loop around the chain.
  • Page 35 “Heads” section of this manual. If all else fails, just use only the other head. 9. HIT A FISH NET Engines in Neutral: don’t try to back off, you may foul the net more. Try pulling the boat back with the dinghy & outboard. Get assistance from the fisherman.
  • Page 36 Then continue on one engine. Call Anacortes Yacht Charters after you reach the closest safe harbor. If no vibration at idle, slowly accelerate one engine at a time. Is there vibration on either? If "yes," run at idle or on only the good engine, to reach a close, safe harbor.
