In addition to three cupboards above the galley counter and the cupboard on the starboard aft wall of
the salon, additional less obvious storage options are:
1) Under the bowl behind the settee, salon aft
2) Under the first and third step going into the forward cabin
3) Under the third step going into aft cabin
4) Under the helm seat (excellent for wine bottles)
5) Under the settee behind the helm seat. This is inconvenient but very large.
Cooking Crabs
There is a large pot for cooking crabs that is located under the fly bridge. Please do not cook crabs in
the cabin. Use the BBQ on the stern.
It is important to lock the galley drawers. They open very easily and will do so if the boat rolls.
HEATING SYSTEM
The ESPAR DIESEL FORCED-AIR FURNACE located in the engine room provides heat in the same
way as a household furnace. The thermostat and on-off switches are located in the salon area, next to
the slide out locker under the front helm seat.
Check The furnace EXHAUST PORT located port side below door for any obstruction such as fenders
or lines. Do not block this opening when operating the furnace. Heat will damage fiberglass or rubber.
Once it is on, allow it to run for at least 15 minutes before turning it off. Turn 'off' the furnace heater by
turning switch back off.
ELECTRONICS
All electronics manuals are located in the slide out locker under the lower helm seat. "Quick Reference"
cards are in the insert at the end of the "Boat Copy" of the Aquarius Operating Manual. The Raymarine
chartplotter is loaded with two C-Map chart chips that should cover Puget Sound, the
Gulf Islands and most of British Columbia. Additional chart chips (Victoria to Cape St. James and
Southeast Alaska) are located at the top front of the slide out locker beneath the lower helm seat.
The chartplotter on the flybridge is the master for the radar, i.e., turn it on first, and then turn on the
lower helm chartplotter and GPS.
VHF Radio
There are 3 VHF RADIOS. The first is located at the main helm, below the GPS, and the second on the
flybridge. Make sure the VHF breaker is on located at the 12 volt panel. Always monitor channel 16
while underway. The VHF radio call sign is WDC 4095. The third VHF radio is a portable handheld
waterproof model for use in the dingy. It is stored in its charging dock in the Master Stateroom.
