1. Open seacock for the main engine and watch for water flow after starting.
Pull the black ball to open the seacock on the strainer for mains. Shut down immediately if no water flows out telltale.

2. Open the main fuel valve on Port topside of the tank for main engine fuel flow to yellow switch valve, open black valve, and close the two primer valves to run main. Genset fuel cut is on the Starboard topside of tank with a separate filter system.

Fuel system allows the operator to select the filter and prime without stopping if offshore



3. In-cabin, Remove steps, turn on bilge light and switch open valves for seacocks to feed seawater to Air Conditioner and Generator. Do not open "Flush Valves" to run AC or Genny. 
Seacocks for AC and Genny are shown open. Close after use! Light switch on galley panel.

Shower and head seacock are under steps. Fwd bilge. The AC drains into the sump

5. The Genny and Inverter are selected by the use of the "Shore-Gen" switch, disconnect shore power first! 20 amp service from house may go out in storms. Water hose is turned off at dock be careful with plastic fittings.
The breakers for helm and engine are turned on to have the power to helm and start the engine

6. Helm has two switches on cabin breaker panel marked "Engine and helm" to power up all the helm, vhf radio depth, autopilot. 
Helm is set up for adding NEMA 2K radar, chart plotters, engine info, all plug and play for many products.

We installed a Webasto AC 6000BTU in April 2018, the solar panels will keep the 12vdc refrigerator going if the power goes out.
