ZUMA
Welcome aboard ZUMA!
We are happy you have chosen Ship Harbor Yacht Charters for your vacation. We are confident
you will enjoy cruising the scenic islands of the Pacific Northwest.
We hope you will enjoy your time on Zuma as much as we have. You will find Zuma is very
maneuverable, even without the bow and stern thrusters, and easy to pilot in close quarters.
You will find that Zuma cruises very economically at around 8-knots but has the power to reach up
to 15 knots if necessary. The open design and large windows will give you 360-degree visibility
and make Zuma feel much larger than she is.
Zuma has a full galley including a microwave and 6-bottle wine cooler.
We trust this manual will help you become familiar with the boat. If you have questions about the
boat or about places to visit, please do not hesitate to ask the Ship Harbor Yacht Charters staff.

  • Page 4: Engine Inspection

    Engine Inspection Remember your “WOBBS” every morning: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Pump-out), Belts and Sea Strainer. Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion tanks. The coolant reservoir is located in the engine compartment starboard side accessed from the salon hatch. The coolant level should be anywhere between the two lines on the overflow reservoir.

  • Page 5: Operation

    Observe the readings of the gauges. The oil pressure will register about 37 PSI. The engine temperature should rise slowly. Note -- If oil pressure is low, shut down engine, and inspect engine compartment and look for possible cause (for example, loss of oil.) Caution -- If an engine is overheating or there is lack of raw water expelled in the engine exhaust, stop the engine immediately.

  • Page 6: Shutdown

    Shut-Down Before shutting down, allow the engine to ‘idle’ for about 2 minutes to cool gradually and uniformly. The time engaged in preparing to dock the boat is more than sufficient. Ensure the GEARSHIFT is in the ‘neutral’ position and the THROTTLE is in the ‘idle’ position. Turn off engine by turning key switch to the OFF position.

    The MAIN diesel tank fuel fill is located on the starboard side mid ships, aft of the sliding door. It has a twist off cap marked DIESEL. The AUXILIARY diesel tank, primarily used for the cabin heater and MACE generator, fuel fill is located on the transom left of the transom gate and also has a twist off cap marked DIESEL.

  • Page 8: 110-Volt A.c. (Shore) System

    110-Volt AC System SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the battery chargers. Before connecting to shore power, ensure the double switch on the ELECTRICAL PANEL labeled AC MAIN 30 A is in the off position. To connect to shore power plug the 30 amp POWER CORD into the boat receptacle and then into the dock receptacle.

    battery charger. Your inverter panel is located on the aft wall of the settee in the salon with an on/off switch. Make certain that it is on. The actual inverter is located in the port lazerette. The inverter’s power source is the DC house or inverter batteries located in the port lazerette. The quantity of DC power is limited to the capacity of the batteries.

  • Page 10: Batteries

    House Battery Bank & Switch The HOUSE BATTERY BANK provides power for all DC systems, except the engines and automatic bilge pumps. When disconnected from shore power, all 12-volt devices drain the HOUSE battery. Use devices as needed. When a battery bank is being charged, the voltage will read from about 13.1 volts to 14.4 volts depending upon state-of-charge of the battery bank.

  • Page 11: Holding Tank

    If the toilet pump starts to resist your flushing efforts, don’t force it!! Exploding or leaking sewage is most unpleasant!! Search out the problem and correct it. Holding Tank The sanitation HOLDING TANK holds approximately 40 gallons and is located under the forward stateroom bed.

  • Page 12: Hot Water Tank

    have an air lock and need to bleed the system by opening up a faucet. If you run out of water SHUT OFF YOUR HOT WATER HEATER on the AC panel. Serious damage to the hot water heater can occur! Hot Water Tank The HOT WATER HEATER has a six gallon capacity tank and is available when connected to shore power or via a heat exchanger while underway.

  • Page 13: Wine Cooler

    Refer to the lighting instruction on the inside of the oven door for lighting the burners or oven. When finished cooking turn off the safety solenoid valve. Refrigerator/Freezer The REFRIGERATOR is 12-volt DC powered and runs off the HOUSE batteries. The refrigerator must be turned on at the electrical panel.

  • Page 14: Wallas Diesel Heater

    Wallas Diesel-Fired Heater The WALLAS DIESEL-FIRED FORCED-AIR FURNACE controller is located on the starboard aft wall of the settee and provides heat in the same way as a household furnace. Turn on the toggle switch on the controller to the “heat” position. Set the THERMOSTAT to the desired temperature (1-6, with 6 being the hottest).

  • Page 15: Electronics

    Momentarily press and release the down button to display the temperature set point. The set point is decreased one degree each time the DOWN arrow button is pressed and released. After starting either air conditioning unit, verify that water is flowing from the two seawater discharge outlets located on the port side near the bow.

  • Page 16: Depth Sounder

    Depth Sounder The GARMIN digital depth sounder will not give accurate reading beyond 400 feet. In deeper water, the sensitivity on the unit increases as the transducer tries to get readings back. Consequently, you will receive many false readings caused by currents, changes in water temperature, fish, and seaweed. Use the depth sounder only as an aid to navigation in shallow water.

  • Page 17: Am/Fm Stereo Receiver/Cd Player

    You are required to monitor Channel 16 by the USCG (the hailing and distress channel) during your cruise. After establishing contact on channel 16, switch to working channels 68, 69, or 80. Scan the weather channels for the one with the best reception before sailing in the morning and prior to anchoring for the evening.

  • Page 18: Anchoring

    ANCHORING ZUMA is equipped with two anchors, one forward and one in the aft starboard lazerette. The primary WORKING ANCHOR is a ROCNA 15 Kg anchor and is attached to a 50ft chain and 200ft nylon rode passed through the deck from the ANCHOR LOCKER. The locker can be accessed through the bow. The anchor is secured for travel so the securing line will need to be released before lowering the anchor.

  • Page 19: Mooring Cans

    anchor from unexpectedly returning to the sea bottom. Close the covers on the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. A SPARE ANCHOR is stowed in the starboard side lazerette. Mooring Cans The State Park Sticker on your vessel allows you to pick up the MOORING CANS in the parks for free. You only need to register at the kiosk usually located at the heads of the docks.

  • Page 20: Dinghy Operation

    coat hook in the aft stateroom. Plug the electrical cord in on the port side of the aft cabinet. Press the toggle switch to move the dingy into and out of the water. It has a capacity of about 1400 pounds (motor, equipment, and 5 people).
  • Page 21 Always check the fishing and crabbing requirements before you leave on your cruise. You will need a license. Many areas are CLOSED to crabbing and fishing on certain months. CRAB AWAY FROM THE BOAT! Lines can get wrapped around props. Fish-flavored cat food with the pop-up ringed lids work best for a nice neat way to bait the ring.
