AM-FM Stereo Radio Compact Disc Player The Stereo system is wired directly to the batteries and is not controlled by any switches on the DC control panel. The Stereo System can be turned ON or OFF by the “Select” button located in the middle of the faceplate.
“AUDIO/MENU” button to adjust balance, bass & treble. Please see the manual for the full explanation for using your iPOD / MP3 devices. BATTERIES ESCAPE is equipped with two 12-Volt HOUSE batteries and one ENGINE battery. The Engine battery is a “cranking” battery and dedicated to starting the yacht’s engine. This battery and one House are located under the aft starboard dinette seat.
The Link 10 control panel allows the owner to customize the charging operation to the size type and brand of batteries currently in use. Please do not reset any of the system parameters currently set on the system. INSTRUMENTS B&G Triton2, B&G Vulcan 9 Chartplotter, Ray Marine ST70 Repeater All the Navigation instruments EXCEPT the Chartplotter and Radar are powered at the 12V black electrical panel using switch #7.
for final authority on location depth and hazards. B&G Vulcan 9” Chartplotter and Radar The Chartplotter is a wonderful tool for navigation and trip planning. An internal GPS will provide your location on the chartplotter to assist with navigation and route planning. Also accessed via the Vulcan 9 is the Radar screen.
The fresh water system operates utilizing a pressure water pump. The pressure water pump is located behind the right hand cabinet door in the head. The pressure water pump serves to produce pressure water for the entire hot and cold water potable water system and has a pressure shut-off switch to stop the pump. The Water Pump switch, #10 on the electrical panel, must be in "On"...
either the Webasto Cabin Heat or the Engine freshwater cooling system will provide hot water for your next shower utilizing a piping loop within the Hot Water Tank. How? I’m glad you asked…. Take a look above the Nav station, you’ll see this switch. On the top is “System Heat”...
Lighting Instructions Open the valve on the tank and activate the switch above the galley. A butane lighter is in the bin above the stove. To light the burner, choose the appropriate knob for the burner on the front of the stove. The knob will have a white dot at the 12 o’clock position.

HEAD Thru-Hull Drains The drains in the head have individual thru-hull valves. There are four total: the sink, the salt water flushing water inlet, the waste outlet for the head and the shower sump outlet. All thru-hull valves are located directly under the sink. There is no need to close the thru hulls in normal conditions.
Page 17
bowl empty to minimize odor and spillage. The black valve should remain in the “Dry” position when boat is sailing. This will prevent back filling of the toilet and/or the head sink and avoid possible water overflow into head compartment when healing strongly in heavy sailing. Do not put in the bowl: sanitary napkins, paper towels, cloth, cotton, cigarettes, matches, chewing gum or any other solid objects, petroleum products, solvents or water that is more than warm to the touch (no I don’t want to tell you how to know this).

CABIN HEATING Webasto Diesel Hydronic Cabin Heater A diesel hydronic heater system provides heat to each of the yacht’s cabins. Hydronic just means it has its’ own closed loop water system, circulating this water in hoses to radiator type units throughout the yacht: one in the main cabin under the forward bench of the settee and in each sleeping cabin.
the squiggly little lines tell you, each squiggle is 20% capacity of the heater. Don’t forget to flip the System/Engine Heat switch on first! The “sunshine” icon is a preset temp of 68F (20C), press that and it’ll adjust itself. The “half moon” icon is a present temp of 64F (18C).
To start the engine, turn the panel on (top left button) and wait for the “beep-beep”. This will notify you when the glow plugs (actually no glow plugs anymore, we’re in the 21 century) have warmed and the engine may be started. Push the top right button to start the engine. ENSURE THERE IS COOLING WATER COMING OUT THE EXHAUST (on the port quarter).
A valve for the cooling water system is located on the port side of the sail drive and operates the same as thru hulls. A raw water filter (clear canister) is located on the aft starboard side of the engine compartment. The filter screen should be checked at least once a day prior to engine starting or if the boat is operated in waters with a large amount of debris.
ANCHOR & CHAIN A CQR Anchor is located on the bow connected to 150 feet of chain, with an additional 210-foot anchor line. The anchor chain is marked every 30’ (5 fathom) using small yellow zip ties to the links (1 for 30’, 2 for 60’...
Check for swimmers. Keep clear of moving anchor rode. Use UP or DOWN button to operate windlass. After setting the anchor, it is recommended that the UP switch be operated briefly. This engaged the internal clutch mechanism, locking the windlass; failure to do this could result in the rope/chain creeping out.
When you have finished sailing please release the reefing system prior to dropping the sail. Assure that all halyards, sheets and other lines are secure and tight BEFORE the boat is docked or anchored. You will minimize confusion and crew anxiety while maneuvering and you will also sleep better - as will the neighbors across the dock! "Funny noises"...
Forward Cabin, Main Cabin, Port Aft Cabin, Starboard Aft Cabin and the Starboard Cockpit locker. Flares Required Safety Flares are stowed in plastic containers in the Nav Station Seat. Please note the location and read the instructions for use of these devices if you are not already familiar with these items. Life Sling A life sling is mounted on the stern rail.

Wood Through-Hull Plugs Tapered Wood plugs for all through-hull valves for use in an emergency are stored under the aft settee cushion in the main salon. There is a “map” of all thru hull’s and sizes in the “Grey” book. VHF Emergency Channel Use Channel 16 on the VHF for true life-threatening emergency situations only.
Page 27
fuel and oil filters and other engine parts are located under the forward V-berth. Please record any spares consumed and report this information to the AYC check in skipper upon return. CLEANING SUPPLIES Cleaning supplies are in the bucket in the starboard Lazeratte locker. A hose is also in the starboard locker. Some cleaning supplies are also under the Sink in the Galley including a small dustpan and broom.
