You must use rational judgement when adverse conditions are expected, and reduce your loads to create a margin of safety. This label means your Glacier Bay is certified by the NMMA. With this tag, you are assured your fuel system, electrical system, lighting, ventilation, and steering are not only in compliance with the US Coast Guard regulations, but also meet the more stringent standards of the NMMA.
2013 Glacier Bay 2780 Owners Manual 4.5 P OLLUTION EGULATIONS The Refuse Act of 1899 prohibits throwing, discharging or depositing any refuse matter of any kind (including trash, garbage, oil and other liquid pollutants) into the waters of the United States. This information is provided in a pamphlet, that normally received when registering your boat.
• Do not allow individuals under the age of 16 to operate the vessel. Maintain direct supervision of inexperienced operators. • Ensure that all passengers are safely seated while underway, and are using the hand rails Glacier Bay has provided to remain securely in their seats.
HALLOW ATER Although your Glacier Bay draws a small amount of water for its size, shallow water should be a concern of all boaters. To avoid this hazard, pay particular attention to navigational markers and know the area you are operating in.
2013 Glacier Bay 2780 Owners Manual 4.10.3 Rendering Assistance Owners are required by law to render assistance to other boaters involved in an emergency situation such as fire, collision, casualty, etc., as long as it does not endanger your vessel or its passengers.
Glacier Bay hull give operators exceptional maneuverability in even the tightest spaces. Because of the superior tracking abilities of the Glacier Bay hull, oversteering can present a problem, especially for owners accustomed to operating conventional boats. Conventional vessels have a tendency to lose tracking abilities in rough and following sea conditions, making constant course corrections necessary.
Be aware, these are routine maintenance procedures and are not covered under warranty by Glacier Bay. Routinely check hydraulic fluid levels, and all connections for leaks or any sign of mechanical failure.

Following are some tips on how to handle your boat in adverse sea conditions: When traveling into the wind, changing your direction a few degrees to allow one sponson to settle before the other, can make the ride smoother and allow for increased speed.
2013 Glacier Bay 2780 Owners Manual 5.11 P ERFORMANCE ACTORS Proper setup and maintenance of the systems on your boat is important to ensuring proper performance, but be aware they are not the only factors which affect it. Several things which contribute to the level of performance of your catamaran can change between or during trips.
6.3 F YSTEM Due to the nature of the hull design, each Glacier Bay is equipped with a port and starboard fuel system. These systems act independently, providing fuel to the engine on their respective side. These tanks are constructed of polyethylene material to prevent corrosion, and feature a hull side vent to avoid over- pressurization of the system.
Tighten all connections, replace deteriorated hoses, clamps or fittings, and replace the fuel/water separators during this check. Glacier Bay has provided inspection plates in the cockpit floor and along the gunwales to assist you with annual maintenance. If you experience fuel flow problems, remove the fuel feed hose from your engine and connect it to a portable fuel tank.
6.6 B ATTERY ELECTION Glacier Bay supplies the original batteries onboard your vessel. We use both Group 27 and Group 31 batteries. In the event of a failure, replacements must be of equal size and specifications (see below): GROUP 27 (27MG)
IRCUIT ROTECTION All Glacier Bay are wired using marine grade tin coated copper wire, instead of standard copper wire. Tin coated copper is manufactured to withstand the harsh saltwater environment better than standard copper, which is used for residential applications. Environmentally sealed Deutsch™ connectors are installed on all accessories located below the waterline to ensure watertight connections.
ONTROL YSTEM Glacier Bay 2780 comes equipped with a digital assembly consisting of a control unit and remote switch pod(s). In the digital assembly, the control unit houses the circuit protection for all the accessories controlled by the switch pod(s). A label is mounted on the control unit to advise you which breaker controls a given appliance.
6.10.1 Navigational Lights Per USCG guidelines, all powered vessels must have navigational and anchor lights. Every Glacier Bay is equipped with navigational lights at the bow, a pole light near the stern, or mast light on the hardtop. These lights must be used in accordance with USCG regulations when anchored or underway.
2013 Glacier Bay 2780 Owners Manual 6.10.11 Marine Head The marine head is powered by the fuse panel, and has a separate control panel mounted near the head. The control panel activates the solenoid to allow for water intake and discharge. A macerator pump is incorporated into the head.
Suzuki™ packages feature a three or four piece digital gauge package (same as Yamaha™) with a tachometer for each engine, and a programmable multifunction gauge(s). Glacier Bay setups a preliminary program at the factory, but it can be modified to suit your needs. Instructions on the operation and features of these gauges is included in your engine owner’s manual.
This chapter provides basic information for maintaining the original appearance and dependable performance of your Glacier Bay. Although your vessel is constructed of the finest materials available, the harsh saltwater environment and other factors, including geography and usage rate, will affect its finish and function over time.
This will help to prevent, but not eliminate, gelcoat blistering on the hull, which is not warranted by Glacier Bay. Your dealer can provide information on bottom painting to protect against environmental toxins in your area. Anti-fouling paints are made to dissolve over time, so inspect and clean the hull bottom annually and recoat when necessary.
TAINLESS LUMINUM Stainless steel and aluminum are used throughout your vessel. Glacier Bay uses only 316 marine grade stainless hardware and anodized aluminum to provide you with years of service; however, these metals can deteriorate and fail if improperly cared for. Upon returning, clean all hardware using a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
