the transom aft of the starboard side cabin. Its exhaust exits on the stern starboard side.

Therefore it is not necessary to run the yacht's diesel engine to heat water.

The exhaust from the Heater is very hot! DO NOT tie the dingy to the starboard side of

while the yacht, as it will damage the line (painter), which may result in the loss of the dingy

towing. Also make sure the dock lines do not lie against the exhaust.

Caution

When the heater is in operation, you will hear the sound of water circulating from the

starboard aft cabin and the normal operational sound of the heating unit running.

There are fan controls located in the three berths and at the Nav-station for the main

salon. The fan control in the aft port berth also heats the head. Each room is

equipped with a vent duct. The vent duct must be manually opened and closed.

The temperature control for the heating system is located at the Nav-station just below the

stereo system. It is a thermostat and on/off switch. The thermostat can be turned on or off

by depressing the rocker switch in the upper right hand corner. A red light should indicate

the thermostat is operational. The red green light will not come on until the water in the

closed loop has been heated to operation temperature, therefore there will be a delay. Please

be patient.

A circular knob located in the lower right hand corner of the thermostat operates the

temperature control setting.

When the system is going to be turned "OFF" (shut down) you may still hear the fan and

pump running in the aft cabin. This is normal.
