Page 4: General
1) General 3) Main switches FJORD MS 33 is built in two versions as far as the The main switches for the l2—Volt electrical system cockpit and interior arrangement are concerned. The are located in a locker below the chart-table (Version version with control bridge in the cockpit, A) or inner steering position (Version B), see plate 1. -
Page 5: Fuse Panel
4) Fuse panel The fuse panel is fitted in the same locker as the main switches just above the switch-box. On some of the boats you will find a small. black box fitted on top or on the outer side of the switch-box with the main-switches., When fitted, this black box contains a main fuse for the ship's service circuit. -
Page 6: Switch Panel
5) Switch panel A separate switch panel is fitted in the Version B, on the front panel of the inside steering position, to starboard and just below the engine control box (plate 4). Here you find the switches for navigation lights and top light, as well as for the deck flood-light fitted in the mast to give light on the foredeck. -
Page 7: Steering Positions Instrumentation
6) Steering positions instrumentation Version A Version A is, as standard, fitted with outside steering position only (plate 5 and 6). The plates clearly show the location of instruments and controls. Dials are fitted for showing oil pressure on the gear box and in the engine lubricating system respectively. -
Page 8: Version B
The control box for the engine is fitted on the front of the cockpit seat, just below the steering bridge. It is conveniently situated for foot-operating, and is away from all the ropes which have to be handled in the cockpit. This control box is of the single lever type (plate 7), and before starting and warming-up can take place when lying at the mooring, the gear- box (and the propeller) must be disengaged. -
Page 9: Both Versions
R.P.M. (3000) continuously Without causing trouble. At 3000 R.P.M. the engine develops 37 shaft horse power. However, as the FJORD MS 33 is given a true heavy displacement hull configuration, maximum hull speed in smooth water is obtained at far less engine speed than 3000 R.P.M. -
Page 10: Checking Engine Oil Level
Tremendous air resistance is, under such circumstances, generated by the rig, and the excessive engine power transmitted through the 3:1- ratio gear-box to the big, 22 inches diameter propeller, will be felt as a real must in a blow. When starting a cold engine, the quickest response is obtained if the throttle is opened when engaging the starter, but remember to DISENGAGE THE GEAR CONTROL! The starter motor is activated simply by... -
Page 11: Checking For Bilge Water
8) Checking for bilge water Both Versions have a high capacity diagram bilge pump fitted in the cockpit coaming to port (plate 12) In addition to this, an automatic, electrically operated bilge pump is fitted in the Version B, to starboard in the engine room (plate 13). -
Page 12: Fire Extinguishers
9) Fire extinguishers Two manually operated fire extinguishers are fitted in both versions, however, located in slightly different positions. In Version A, one extinguisher is fitted in the oilskin locker to starboard in the dog-house, and one extinguisher is fitted on the bulkhead in the big hanging locker adjacent to the toilet room (plate 14 and 15). - Page 13 Plate 17 Plate 16 Location of Fire Extinguisher Forward — Version B Location of Fire Extinguisher Aft — Version B In Version B the aft extinguisher is fitted on the chart—table sidewall in the dog-house, just adjacent to the ladder leading down from the cockpit (plate 16), while the secondary extinguisher is fitted on the side-panel of the forward, athwartship settee of the dinette, facing port (plate l7).

To light the burner, pump approximately ten strokes take the trouble to start the engine at least once a day to build up pressure in the tank (see that the filler cap and let it run for an hour or so to have the battery is tightened thoroughly). -
Page 16: Handling The Boat With Engine
15) Handling the boat with engine The FJORD MS 33 is a heavy displacement boat, and she behaves like one. This implies that one has to take into account her heavy weight and great mass of inertia when manoeuvring. -

Page 20: Engine And Propulsion System
(Plate 24). 1) Engine and propulsion system a) General As standard, the FJORD MS 33 is fitted with a PERKINS engine of the type 4.108 (earlier type 4.107), with the governor adjusted to give an engine output power of 37 shaft horsepower at 3000 revolutions per minute. -

Just abaft the aft engine room bulkhead. (In boats built before 1973, a single fresh water tank is fitted below the cabin sole.) The fresh water tanks are connected with a “T”-joint before the hose-line is led to the manual pumps in... - Page 27 As mentioned earlier, a water pressure system is of engine running. Brittle hoses must be replaced, fitted in Version B.

Page 28: E) Cockpit Drainage And Deck Scuppers
e) Cockpit drainage and deck scuppers The scuppers providing drainage of the decks are connected to the drain pipes discharging water from the self-draining cockpit. Water which might enter the stowing rooms in the cockpit coamings, is drained to the cockpit itself. Water outlets are provided in each of the two forward corners of the cockpit, and big-section hoses are led vertically down from the water out-... -

Page 30: E) Bonding - Protection Against Corrosion
Paragraph 3.9 describes the location of the two manually operated fire extinguishers fitted at the yard. As FJORD MS 33 is a purely diesel-engined boat, carrying nothing but diesel fuel on board except for small amounts of alcohol for the stove, the two dry powder extinguishers are considered to be sufficient in any situation. -
