Using higher throttle settings will produce very little increase in forward speed but will greatly increase fuel and oil consumption and the wear on the engine. For this reason, we ask that you limit the use of higher power settings to real emergency situations. This boat has a definite prop walk to the port in reverse with not much noticeable affect in forward. -

Pumping too fast may not allow enough time for air to escape, which may result in spouting from the tank opening. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. Pay attention to the TANK OVERFLOW VENT on the outside of the hull on the port side. The sound may indicate that the tank is nearly full. -

At the ELECTRICAL PANEL, flip the AC CURCUIT BREAKER on. Check for reverse polarity. Then turn on appropriate breakers for water heater, and refrigerator. If you are not getting power to your outlets, check that one of your GFIs has not been tripped. Inverter Power (110-volt AC) The INVERTER provides AC power only to the 110-volt receptacle plugs (i.e. -

The HOUSE BATTERY BANK provides power for all DC systems. When disconnected from shore power, all 12-volt devices and 110-volt devices drain the house battery. Battery systems will lose their charge while ANCHORED or MOORED. Avoid this by using power sparingly at anchor. -

Fresh Water Pressure Pump The WATER PRESSURE PUMP is located under galley seat at aft end. 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. -

couple sec to warms up. When finished cooking turn off the switches and the bottle. Oven Pilot Oven knob and safety button Refrigeration The REFRIGERATOR operates on 120-volt power. Do not use refrigeration while using inverter power. There is a breaker on the AC panel and a thermostat inside the refrigerator. AYC will supplement you with 2 bags of ice. -
Page 15: Electronics
Two 120-volt SPACE HEATERS are available when connected to shore power. Both can be found in under the seat in the aft stateroom. FOR BACKUP USE ONLY! ELECTRONICS All electronic manuals are located under the navigation desk. VHF Radio The VHF radio is located at the helm. Make sure the VHF Radio breaker is on located at the DC panel. -
Page 16: Anchoring/Mooring
ANCHORING The primary WORKING ANCHOR is a 45lb. CQR anchor and is attached to 250 ft. chain passed through the deck from the ANCHOR LOCKER the locker can be accessed through the bow deck hatch. Use the forward foot pedals at the bow to operate windlass. Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE before setting the anchor. -

starboard chock bring the end of the line back through the port side. You will essentially create a bridle with about 10 feet of slack from the chalk to the can. SAILS AND RIGGING The 110% JIB is furled. The furling line is starboard of the cockpit. To unfurl the headsail, (a) uncleat the furling lines, (b) wrap the sheet around the appropriate winch, (c) pull the sheet aft while maintaining tension on the furling line, (d) cleat when desired reefing level has been achieved. - Page 18 Velocity is equipped with an AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMP. The master switch is located on the DC electrical panel. Normally, the switch will be left in the AUTO position. You may occasionally hear the pump operate due to condensation and water from the shaft log accumulating in the bilge.
