Page 13: Batteries
8. Batteries The systems on your yacht are all 12volt. The batteries will need to be recharged as often as you deplete them. Conserving power will result in less time needed for charging, so turn off systems that you are not using. Your batteries will charge when the engine is running at 1400rpms or more, whether sitting at a mooring or motoring to a destination. - Page 14 9. Anchoring & the windlass Setting your anchor: Preparation: • Establish a non verbal communication system from bow to stern, as with the noise of the engine and wind, verbal communication proves difficult. • Tie the dinghy painter close to the boat at the bow or amidships to avoid wrapping it around the prop.
- Page 15 There is a high amperage fuse that will blow if the windlass gets overloaded. Before replacing the fuse, ensure that the windlass breaker on the 12V panel is switched on, and that the green light is not illuminated. If it is illuminated, this indicates that the fuse is NOT blown, and that the yacht battery power is too low to run the windlass.
