  • Page 4: Boat Operation

    BOAT OPERATION Engine Inspection Remember your “WOBBS” every morning: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Clean Excess), Belts and Sea Strainers. Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion tanks. Check the generator fluids as well. Check the level of OIL in each engine by checking your dipsticks located inboard on each engine. Look at the etch marks on each dipstick that indicate the proper oil level.

  • Page 5: Startup

    Startup Before starting the engines, do your inspection. Check that Ignition Power switches, located on the DC side of the Electrical Panel at the top, for PORT and STBD are in the ON position. The engines should be started from the lower helm station.

  • Page 6: Cruising

    Cruising All close-quarters maneuvering should always take place at the upper helm. Assure TRIM TABS are in full up position. Cruising continued – Engage the GEARSHIFTS ~ Ensure the THROTTLES are in the ‘idle’ position before engaging the gearshifts to avoid transmission damage. Your speed will vary depending upon vessel weight, load and weather conditions.

  • Page 8: Boat Electrical

    BOAT ELECTRICAL The systems are controlled from the ELECTRICAL PANEL located in the Pilothouse starboard-side cabinet; the DC AUXILIARY PANEL is co-located with the AC panel. The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 110-volt AC on the left and 12-volt DC on the right.
  • Page 9 Check the power rating/plug size of the nearest dock receptacle (i.e. 50-amp, 30-amp, 20-amp, or 15-amp). If necessary, add a CORD ADAPTER located in the engine room forward of the port engine. After plugging the cord into the receptacle, then turn the dock breaker on. If the cords are coming off the bow, use the Velcro on the cord sleeve to secure the shore power cords.

  • Page 10: 12-Volt Dc Systems (House)

    12-Volt DC Systems When not connected to shore power, batteries are providing all power. Therefore, monitor the use of onboard electricity carefully with the volt meter located also on the AC/DC panel, and turn off electrical devices that are not needed. We normally turn off the refrigerator at night when anchoring to save battery power. There is one 2-battery battery-bank that supports 12-volt DC power in the aft port hold.
  • Page 11 The BATTERY SWITCHES PANEL is found in the most aft salon port cabinet. This panel controls which batteries are charging and also some of the DC circuits including bilge and sump pumps, CO2 monitors and battery charger.
  • Page 12 Battery Charger When connected to shore power, the battery charger automatically charges the 12-volt HOUSE BATTERIES which are located in the aft port hold.
  • Page 13 Generator (Onan 9 KW) First check that the Generator’s fluids are topped off and the raw water intake is open. To start the GENERATOR, go to the Pilot House helm electrical panel cabinet. First pre-heat the Generator by holding down the top of the rocker switch for 10 seconds. Hold the switch in that position while the Generator starts (about 5 seconds).

  • Page 14: Sanitation Systems

    SANITATION SYSTEMS VacuFlush Toilets It is important that every member of your party be informed on the proper use of the marine toilets. The valves, openings, and pumps are small and could clog easily. If the toilet clogs, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! Always flush the head for children so that you can make sure that nothing foreign is being flushed.
  • Page 15 The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways: 1 - At a Marine Pump-Out Station, remove the WASTE CAP located starboard and open with a deck key. (The cap is not attached for sanitary reasons so be careful to not drop it overboard!) Insert the pump-out nozzle into the waste opening.

  • Page 17: Water Systems

    WATER SYSTEMS Fresh Water Tanks The FRESH WATER TANKS (2) hold 110 gallons total. A tank selection must be made at the valves in the under-stair compartment (port side). Best practice is to use the forward tank first and reserve the aft tank. (35 Gallons) Observe the water level by reading the gauges on the electrical panel (Tank#1 and Tank#2).

  • Page 18: Fresh Water Pressure Pump

    Fresh Water Pressure Pump The FRESH WATER PRESSURE PUMP is located in the under stairs compartment. Activate pump at the DC panel by turning on the breaker. If the water pump continues to run, you are either out of water or might have an air lock and need to bleed the system by opening up a faucet.

  • Page 19: Washer/Dryer

    Washer/Dryer The washer works fine, the dryer is not very useful, best to hang dry after a complete cycle. To use, there needs to be water in the tanks and 110 power turned on and the Breaker ON on Electrical Panel. To run, read page 14-15 of Splendide washer-dryer manual located in 3 ring binder with other manuals in the cupboard under the Electrical Panel.

  • Page 20: Galley

    GALLEY Stove/Oven The stove and oven are electric. You must be hooked up to shore power or have the generator running to operate them because of their high electrical draw. Turn the ELECTRIC RANGE BREAKER on at the AC electrical panel and operate as a standard kitchen stove/oven. Caution: There is a cut off safety switch at the rear of the burners that the stove cover pushes down on when in the fully upright position.
  • Page 21 HEATING SYSTEMS Electric Unit Heaters There are electric heaters for the berths and the salon, they operate on 110 v so the generator must be on or shore power hooked up. The thermostats are located in the salon (forward starboard), midship hallway (at the bottom of the stairs), in the forward master berth.
  • Page 22 Please use the Power Buttons located on the Individual Units (MFDs) to Shut Down Units. VHF Radios Two iComm M510 VHF radios installed at both helms (1 per each). Magic* is equipped with AIS which is viewable on the MFD.
  • Page 23 ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS AM/FM Radio-Bluetooth There are two Kenwood receivers on board: Above the Pilot House captain’s chair. It powers speakers in the pilot house . On the flying bridge under the black cover panel inside the port cabinet. Both of them are visible and the salon as Kenwood KMR-M3 on Bluetooth settings on your phone.
  • Page 24 ANCHORING / MOORING CANS Anchoring The primary WORKING ANCHOR is a Delta and is attached to a 320 ft chain and 20 feet of nylon line passed through the deck from the ANCHOR LOCKER. The locker can be accessed through the Master Stateroom headboard.
  • Page 25 At the bow’s port side, tap gently on the ‘down’ FOOT PEDAL CONTROL (arrow pointed towards bow) to lower the anchor. If necessary, guide the anchor over the anchor roller to prevent binding on the pulpit.
  • Page 26 Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE (chain and nylon line) before setting the anchor. Colored markers are placed indicating the amount of rode. If the anchorage is crowded, put down at least a 3 to 1 scope (60 feet for 20 feet of water). Set the anchor by reversing the engines.
  • Page 27 Make sure the anchor chain locker hole cover is open prior to retrieving the anchor. Reconnect the keepers to the Windlass and the anchor. Close the plastic covers on the foot pedal controls. Turn ‘off’ the WINDLASS POWER SWITCH and turn off the Washdown breaker. A SPARE ANCHOR is normally stowed in the port side rear hold in a bag.
  • Page 28 BARBECUE The BARBECUE is kept in its bag in the rear port hold. There is a mounting socket on the port cockpit step area. The REGULATOR (blue in color) and propane cans are kept separately in the salon’s port side aft cabinet.
  • Page 29 DINGHY & OUTBOARD MOTOR The AB DINGHY with a 30 hp Honda engine is stored on the Bridge. It has the capacity of 530 pounds 5 persons (or fewer people and gear). Lowering Remove dinghy cover and hook up the cable hoist to the midship eye with the carabiner. Have a crew member below aft deck, with a boat hook, to help guide the dinghy as it lowers and to secure it once it gets to the water.
  • Page 30 The davit arm must be raised to the upper position if not already there. Do this by removing the large pin and reinserting after raising the arm. It is easier to do this if you first swing the arm out over the water to give yourself more room.
  • Page 31 Operating Caution: This dinghy is rather fast. Please operate with care and it should be operated by adults only. Lower the motor into the water. Prime the fuel bulb in front of the motor and start the engine (The key is in the navigation table drawer). A “KILL CORD”...
  • Page 32 CRABBING & FISHING Always check the crabbing and fishing requirements before you leave on your cruise. You will need a license. Many areas are CLOSED to crabbing and fishing in certain months. Crab AWAY FROM THE BOAT! Lines can get wrapped around props. A crab pot with buoy and line is located in the port lazarette.
