Emergency fuel cutoff valve

Gas valve in the galley

It is located in the cabinet under the stove
The valve is open when the lever is in horizontal position
and closed when it is in vertical position.

Please close it when not in use.

Gas valve in the cockpit

Turn to open or close.
When the stove is not in use, please close the valve.

When changing the bottle, lay it on the side, hold the valve
and slowly turn the bottle until it is tight.

Toilet

By pulling and pushing the lever you can pump the seawater
in and out of the toilet bowl. If the small lever on the back of
the pump is in the left position, the water goes in and out at
the same time. If it's in the right position, the water only goes
out. After the use leave the small lever in that position in order
to avoid the water return. Make sure both seacocks are open
when using the toilet. After the use please close both of them.

CAUTION!!!
DO NOT throw paper tissues, napkins or other garbage in the
toilet bowl because it may clog the drain pipes.
To avoid unconfortable situation and extra expenses, please
dispose the toilet paper and other garbage into a plastic bag.

Seacocks

Water suply switching lever

It is located in the sallon under the seat, next to the cabin
panel.

CAUTION!!!
When one water tank is empty , immediately close all the
running taps in order to avoid the pump to take air into the
system. Turn the lever to switch the water supply to the other
tank and open the tank.
The water should start flowing after couple of seconds.

Engine compartment

All engines are regularly maintained by our mechanics.
Nevertheless, to be sure it is working properly, check the oil
and water levels regularly, as well as inspecting the engine
visually.
The procedure of controlling the engine will be elaborated by
our skippers during the check-in.

Engine control panel: engine start / stop, gear lever, fuel level indicator, hour meter

Starting the engine:
1. Before starting the engine, push the button on the gear lever
and the gear lever a bit forward in order to increase RPMs
without engaging the propeller.
2. Switch on the electric contact (button on the upper left side
of the EVC panel).
3. Hold the start switch with light pressure (upper right on the
EVC panel) for about 10 seconds (preheat).
4. Push the button fully to start the engine.

Stopping the engine:
1. Push the stop button (lower right on the PVC panel)
2. Switch off the electric contact

Please return the gear lever to the neutral position before
shutting down the engine.
Cruising speed is at abput 2300 RPM. Faster than that puts
great tension on the engine and the clutch and could result in
damage.

Jet thruster

Exterior instruments

Chartplotter

Anchor and chain compartment, Electric windlass

It is recommended to release the anchor manually, because
sometimes during the anchoring maneuver the winch might
be too slow considering the speed of the moving boat.
During the maneuver please attach the compartment hatch to
the fence using the provided rope with the hook.
Please make sure the anchor doesn't hit the bow during
anchoring procedure.
When the anchor is not in use, attach it to the bollard as a
safety measure.

CAUTION!!!
Just before you start lifting the anchor, engage the forward
gear for 2-3 seconds (with minimum thrust, just to get a
slight push forward in the direction of the anchor). That way
you will prevent the windlass to pull the whole boat, which
can seriously damage it.

To avoid injury, wear gloves and shoes while operating the
windlass.

The chain is marked every 10m with a red mark.

Cockpit grill

Cockpit shower

Dinghy

To avoid damage of the impeller, please always start the
outboard engine in water.

When the dinghy is not in use, please return it to its position
on the deck; if you tow it behind the boat, there is a chance
of losing it along the way, and that case is not covered by any
insurance.

Also DO NOT tow the dinghy while the outboard engine is still
mounted on it.

After each use please return the outboard engine to its place
onboard.

Bilge pump

Automatic bilge pump is located in sallon under the floor.

If there is water in the bilge, the floating switch starts the
pump.

Lifejackets and liferaft

All lifejackets will be in the sallon during the check-in
ready for your inspection, so please during the check-out
leave them in the same place so we can check them.

Liferaft is located in cockpit in one of the lockers.
