OVERFLOW VENT on the outside of the hull near the tank opening. The sound may indicate that the
tank is nearly full. Top off carefully, and be prepared to catch spilled fuel. Spillage may result in a
nasty fine from law enforcement.
Replace each tank cap; do not over tighten. Turn on blower before starting engines.
Caution—Clean up splatter and spillage immediately for environmental and health reasons. Wash
hands with soap and water thoroughly.
Fuel Polishing System
There is an ESI fuel polishing system in the engine room. After adding fuel, run the fuel polisher. Turn
on switch at DC panel. Set timer at fuel polisher in Engine Room. You must be on the generator or,
preferably, shore power. Polish one tank of fuel at a time by adjusting the Parker Ball Valves above the
unit so that fuel is only coming from one tank at a time. Turn the timer to 2 hours. When done, repeat
the process with the other tank. The system will turn off automatically when finished. Turn off switch
at DC panel. This is desirable but not mandatory unless you feel you've picked up some dirty fuel.
Trolling Valve
Aquarius is equipped with a trolling valve located at the lower helm to the right of the wheel. It is a
"pull out" type. It should not be necessary to use this valve unless you are trolling for salmon.
To activate the valve, slow the boat to idle, put the gearshift in neutral, and gently pull out the valve.
The further the valve is extended, the slower the speed. DO NOT EXCEED 1100 RPM WHILE
THE TROLLING VALVE IS EXTENDED. Serious damage to the transmission could occur.
BOAT ELECTRICAL
The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 110-volt AC and 12-volt DC.
The systems are controlled from the AC ELECTRICAL PANEL, the DC ELECTRICAL PANEL, and
the BATTERY SWITCHES which are all found in the GLASS DOOR CABINET on the side of the
lower helm.
A Wiring and Plumbing System Schematics is located in the pull out drawer under the microwave.
AC power is delivered by shore power, the generator or the inverter. DC power comes either from the
batteries or the AC system via the chargers. A Xantrex remote inverter monitoring panel located at the
lower helm provides additional information on the electrical status of the boat. Monitor the use of
onboard electricity carefully and turn off electrical devices that are not needed.
Electrical breakers have been accurately labeled. The Red light indicates that they are on.
110-Volt AC System
SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the battery chargers.
There are two 50' 30A shore power cords aboard – one in the long locker in the cockpit and one in the
middle seat locker, port side flybridge.
