Fuses and shore power indicator
LED's near every switch indicate whether the particular device
is on or not
Make sure to check the shore power connection by checking
the 220V indicator (green light on the panel). Please connect
the shore power cable whenever you have the opportunity.
Main switch
The main power switch is located on the left side of the stairsto the salon.
By turning off service switch all the electricity on board shuts
down. The possibility is primarily used in an emergency
situation, for example in case of fire.
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.

Sanitation
Toilet
By pulling and pushing the lever you can pump the seawater
in and out of the toilet bowl. If the small lever 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.

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 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 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.
Bow thruster
To engage the jet thruster, push ON button. Maximum usage isfor 2 minutes. Longer usage causes discharge of the switch and
you must wait for the jet thruster to cool down.
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 in the galley.
Chartplotter
It is located near the left rudder and the user manual is in thesame folder with other manuals.
Anchor
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.
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
Outboard engine
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
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.
Safety equipment
Lifejackets
All lifejackets will be in the sallon during the check-inready for your inspection, so please during the check-out
leave them in the same place so we can check them.
