The fuse (1) is located behind the seat in the lounge ruster.The main power switch for service batteries (2) is located under
the navigation table and the main power switch for engine
battery (3) is in the back cabin under the bed.
By turning them counter-clockwise, all the electricity on board
shuts down. This possibility is primarily used in an emergency
situation, for example in case of a fire.
Inverter switch (4) is located on the control panel.
Please make sure that all devices connected to the inverter
should be used only as long as necessary, for example until
the mobile phone battery is charged, after which it should
immediately be disconnected.
Keep in mind that the inverter consumes the electricity even
if there is no device connected to it, so in order to preserve
energy, please switch it off after every use.

It is located in the right aft cabin under the bed. It is to be usedonly in case of an emergency (fire).
Gas valve in the galley
It is located in one of the cupboards in the galley.The valve is open when the lever is in the vertical position and
closed when it is in horizontal position.

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.

Engine and engine control panel
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 start panel)
3. Hold the start switch with light pressure (upper right on the
start panel) for about 10 seconds (preheat)
4.Push the start button fully to start the engine
Stopping the engine:
1. Push the stop button (lower right on the start 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.
Navigation instruments
Exterior instruments
During the check-in, our skippers will explain the basicfunctions of all instruments. For more in-depth information
You can consult the user manual which is located in one of the
cupboards by the navigation table.
Chartplotter
It is located in the cockpit, and the user manual is in the samefolder with other manuals.
Anchor
Anchor and chain compartment / Electric windlass
It is recommended to release the anchor manually, becausesometimes 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 a 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 gas, 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.
Deck and dinghy
Cockpit shower
The boat is equipped with a cockpit shower.Please pull out the hose with care to avoid damage.
After the use check whether the tap is closed.
Dinghy / Outboard engine
To avoid damage of the impeller, please always start theoutboard 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.
