2 BOAT OPERATION Become familiar with the various systems outlined in this manual. Starlight Express has many features designed for comfort, convenience, and safety. Proper use of these features will promote a safe and relaxed trip.

2.1 Important Points • Pre-Operation. Remember “WOBBS” each morning: Water Coolant, Oil, Bilge, Belts, and Sea

Strainer. Any problem is easier to fix while moored and more difficult while adrift. • Electrical. Monitor both AC and DC electrical systems carefully. Be aware of power

consumption, available power sources, and charging capacity. Reduce use of non-essential electrical devices.

• Cruising RPM. Sustained engine speed for cruising is 2400 RPM (about 80-percent power) for

16-knots (slightly higher rpm with full fuel, water, and provision). Avoid pro-longed engine RPM above 2400, but vary the RPM. Cruising 1200 RPM can achieve 10-12 knots and will reduce fuel consumption considerably.

• Minor Repairs. Lubricants, common spare parts, and tools are located in the engine

compartment and beneath the salon portside seat (see Appendices C and D). • Protection. Protect the interior from damage - vinyl coverings, headliners, mattresses,

wallpaper, woodwork, countertops, carpet, and appliances. Protect the gel-coat surfaces.

2.2 Engine Inspection

2.2.1 Forward Engine Compartment Turn ON lights in the engine compartments at the ENGINE ROOM LIGHT switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Raise the passageway staircase hatch to enter the forward engine compartment. .

Fuel Management Panel. Just forward of the hatch opening, note the position of the valve levers on the FUEL MANAGEMENT PANEL. Normally, levers will be in vertical position, except the generator, which may be switched to the port fuel tank.

Primary Fuel Filters. Check the glass bowls of both PRIMARY FUEL FILTERS on the port

and starboard bulkheads for water or debris. Use a paper cup to catch the mixture. Rotate the thumb-wheel valve. Remove water and debris. Recheck frequently.

Generator and Heater Filters. On the starboard bulkhead, check the glass bowl of the

GENERATOR FUEL FILTER for water or debris. Check the glass bowl of the HEATER FUEL FILTER for water or debris. Drain as necessary.

Hydraulic Shift Reservoir. On the starboard bulkhead, check the gauge on the

HYDRAULIC SHIFT RESERVOIR. Pressure should be 80-85 PSI for best operation. A pump is located in Tools if pressure needs to be restored.

Page 14: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 14 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

Water Tank Selection. On the port bulkhead, note the position of the WATER TANK

SELECTOR valve – water is drawn from either the forward or aft water tanks located beneath the forward stateroom. If the FRESHWATER PUMP continues to run when faucets are off, the usual cause is an empty tank. Flip the selector valve to a full tank.

2.2.2 Main Engine Compartment Within the Forward Engine Compartment, remove the bulkhead hatch to the main engine compartment and stand it aside.

General Condition. Inspect each engine for abnormal condition (loose connections, leaks, etc). Check the general condition of HOSES, FUEL LINES, and AIR INTAKES.

Engine Coolant. Check the ENGINE COOLANT reservoirs – normal level is about ½ full.

Oil Level. With a paper towel or rag handy, raise the oil dipstick. A pair of etch marks on

each dipstick indicates minimum and maximum oil level. If it is necessary to add oil, raise the floorboards in the Salon to expose the top of the engine compartment. Open the oil filler cap on piston #1 valve cover. Pour oil through a funnel. Recheck the dipstick. Wipe spills.

WARNING -- DO NOT OVERFILL the engine oil. Damage may result. Recheck the oil level periodically. Record and report unusual oil consumption (or oil creation).

Transmission Fluid. Check the TRANSMISSION FLUID level in each transfer case. Raise

the dipstick on top of the transfer case housings. Replace tightly to prevent contamination.

Seacocks. Ensure the RAW WATER SEACOCK valves are in the ‘open’ position (lever in-line with valve). Check the glass container for debris. If necessary, close the seacock, loosen the thumbscrews on the cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble the cover.

CAUTION -- Open seacocks after cleaning or engine will overheat.

Bilge Pumps. Lift the center panel of the engine compartment floor. Test the automatic

bilge pump manually by lifting on the float tab switch to activate pump. If defective, take necessary steps to determine the cause -- this is the first line of defense in case of flooding.

2.2.3 Lazarette Open the center Lazarette hatch at the Cockpit.

Steering Fluid. On the transom, check the STEERING FLUID level in the container.

Trim Tab Fluid. On the transom, check the TRIM TAB FLUID level in the container.

Battery Fluid. After a week of use, check the BATTERY FLUID levels in the batteries. Ensure the water covers the metal plates. Top off with DISTILLED water.

WARNING -- Use DISTILLED WATER only – bottled water is NOT distilled water and will destroy the batteries. Do NOT overfill -- a cell is overfull when fluid covers the vented slots inside the fill opening -- there must be an air gap for bubbling gas to escape

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 15 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

2.3 Engine Startup Use the following procedure for engine startup.

Engine Switch. At the top of the DC Electrical Panel, turn ON the PORT and STARBOARD “Engine” switches.

Trim Tab Switch. At the DC Electrical Panel lower right, turn ON the TRIM TAB switch.

Gear Shifts. At the helm station, move the GEAR SHIFTS forward and backward to check

freedom of movement. Then, position shifts to the ‘neutral’ (vertical) position -- the start-safety switch will not allow an engine start if the shift lever is not in neutral position.

Throttles. Move the THROTTLES forward and backward to check freedom of movement.

Then, position throttles to the ‘idle’ position (fully aft position).

Ignition Key. Start one engine at a time as described below. Insert key into the IGNITION SWITCHES.

Pre-Heat. Turn the key clockwise until the ENGINE ALARM sounds and ENGINE PRE-

HEAT LAMP (green) is ON. Wait for pre-heat lamp to turn OFF (alarm pitch will rise also).

Start. Turn the key fully clockwise to engage the starter motor. If the starter motor does not engage when key is turned, check neutral position of the gearshift, re-adjust, and try again.

Starting Difficulty. If the engine cranks very slowly and fails to turn over, check the

condition of the engine battery on the DC ELECTRICAL PANEL. If the battery is low, press and hold the BATTERY PARALLEL switch on the Helm Panel to combine the engine batteries, and attempt to restart engine. It may be necessary to add a slight amount of throttle for starting.

Warm-up. Raise the engine speed slowly to 800 rpm on the TACHOMETER. Warm the

engine for 2 to 4 minutes.

Gauges. Note readings on the VOLTMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE, TEMPERATURE GAUGE, and FUEL GAUGE. The oil pressure should indicate at least 40 PSI within 10 seconds of start.

WARNING -- If oil pressure is low, shutdown the engine, inspect the engine compartment and find possible cause (for example, loose/leaking oil filter.)

Exhaust Water. Check the ENGINE EXHAUST on the stern to ensure cooling water is

flowing through the engine.

WARNING -- If engine overheats or there is no water expelled in the exhaust, stop the engine. Check the seacock position. Check the water strainer for debris. Check for a broken engine belt that turns the water pump. Restart the engine, and re-check for water flow at the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the RAW WATER PUMP may need to be serviced. Please seek assistance!

Repeat the procedure above for the other engine.

2.4 Engine Operation Monitor engine operation while underway.

Oil Pressure. Check oil pressure gauges frequently. Oil pressure should remain above 40 PSI.

NOTE – The oil pressure gauge may flicker, which indicates the pressure switch may need to be replaced soon. The engine may be operated safely if the pressure flickers normal or the oil pressure warning alarm is silent.

Coolant Temperature. Coolant temperature should remain 150 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

WARNING -- If an engine overheats or the alarm sounds, stop the engine. Do an engine inspection to determine cause.

General Performance. Look and listen for changes in engine performance, sound, loss of RPM, or appearance that may indicate need for service. An EAR PROTECTOR is in the engine forward compartment for visual inspections while underway.

2.5 Engine Shutdown Use the following procedure for engine shutdown.

Cooling. Allow time for gradual and uniform cooling of engines. The time engaged in docking the boat is usually sufficient.

Throttles. Move each THROTTLE to the ‘idle’ (aft) position.

Ignition Key. Turn each ignition key to OFF position.

Engine Switch. At the DC Electrical Panel, turn OFF the PORT and STARBOARD “Engine”

switches.

Electronics. Check INSTRUMENT PANEL switches on Bridge and Pilothouse and turn off DC electrical devices or electronics.

2.6 Getting Underway

2.6.1 Shore Power The SHORE POWER INLETS are located on the starboard side near the pilothouse. Power cords are stowed in beneath the starboard Lazarette hatch.

Shore Power. Go to the shore station and turn the Shore Power switch OFF. Then, disconnect the cord from the shore receptacle.

CAUTION – To avoid danger of electrical shock by accidentally dropping ‘hot’ cord into the water, start with shore power end first. Disconnect, before handling cord.

Page 17: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 17 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

Boat Inlet. Disconnect the cord from the boat inlet and tighten the inlet cover.

WARNING – If the boat inlet is hot because of poor connection from burnt prongs or heat-damaged female connector, there is fire risk. Discontinue use and take steps to service. A spare 30A boat inlet and spare 30A cord connectors are in the ‘Electrical Cord Box’.

. Cord Stowage. Stow POWER CORDS beneath the starboard Lazarette hatch. Extra 30-

amp extensions cords, as well as a 50-amp cord and adapters, are stowed there also.

Adapters. Two CORD ADAPTERS (20-amp and 15-amp) are stowed inside the PILOTHOUSE AC ELECTRICAL cabinet. Use these to adapt the 30-amp power cord to 20-amp or 15-amp shore power receptacles.

To reconnect shore power, reverse the procedure above, first connecting the cord to the boat, then to the shore station.

2.6.2 Inside Stowage The following procedure is for preparing the boat interior for cruise conditions.

Portholes. Close and lock the 2 Aft Stateroom PORTHOLES, 2 Mid Stateroom PORTHOLES, Head PORTHOLES, and the 4 Forward Stateroom PORTHOLES.

Fore Deck Hatches. Close and lock the 2 deck HATHCES above the Forward Stateroom.

NOTE -- If water should soak a bunk, remove the cover and mattress and take steps to dry thoroughly, else mold and mildew will develop.

Windows. Adjust or close Salon and Pilothouse windows as desired.

Glassware. Check Galley, Salon, Stateroom, Heads, and Bridge for items that will topple or

spill while underway (drink glasses, cups, wine glasses, bowls, tall bottles, dishes, etc).

Galley. Stow dishware, glasses, pots and pans in their respective cabinets and drawers and push-in the LATCH buttons. These items tend to spill out in rough seas.

Loose Items. Put loose clothing inside CABINETS and DRAWERS and push-in the LATCH

buttons. Secure cell phones, iPods, laptops, and other items on the counters. Ensure heavy items will not move or drop.

Doors. Close or latch Stateroom and Head DOORS to prevent swinging. Secure the Bridge

HATCH door with the tie-down strap to prevent swinging shut as boat rolls.

2.6.3 Bimini Cover The BIMINI COVER may be deployed or stowed. To stow cover, release the canvas snaps from the mast. Fold the frame forward and secure the straps and frame in standing position. Wrap the BIMINI BOOT canvas around the bimini – the boot is normally stowed beneath the bridge seat portside.

2.7 Cruising Operate the vessel from whichever helm provides visibility for the course, speed, weather, and sea conditions. Normally, close-quarter maneuvering is best from the bridge helm.

Line Handling. Brief crewmembers on the departure plan and assign duties for SPRING LINES, DOCK LINES, or assisting others.

Limited Visibility. Turn ON the NAVIGATION LIGHTS at the DC Panel and helm switches.

Close-Quarter Trim. Ensure the TRIM TAB switch is ON at the DC Electrical Panel. For

close quarter maneuvering, rock both TRIM TAB switches to ‘Bow-Up’ position to retract the trim vanes. This helps the boat to move freely when backing.

Bow Thruster Control. Push the two ON buttons at the BOW THRUSTER control to

activate the joystick to move the bow, as necessary.

Throttles and Gear Shifts. Ensure the THROTTLES are ‘idle’ before engaging the GEAR SHIFTS to avoid engine and transmission damage.

Fenders and Lines. After clearing dock traffic, crewmembers may stow FENDERS and

lines.

Cruising Trim. Before high-speed cruising, rock both TRIM TAB switches to ‘Bow-Down’ position (extends trim vanes downward). The raises boat’s aft as it accelerates to cruise.

Acceleration. Increase THROTTLES slowly, allowing the engines to power up. Equalize

(center) the engine speeds on the ENGINE SYNCHRONIZER on the Pilothouse helm.

Cruise RPM. Normally, ENGINE SPEED for cruising is 2400 RPM (80% of rated engine power). This should achieve a satisfactory plane, depending upon boat configuration, weight, and sea condition. Choose a lower rpm for lower fuel consumption rate. Avoid engine speeds above 2400 RPM; but, vary the speed slightly for short durations.

‘Following Sea’ Trim. In ‘following-sea’ conditions or swells, favor a ‘bow-up’ trim position to

avoid plowing into waves. Perform all trim adjustments carefully.

2.8 Docking For docking, the Bridge helm usually offers the greatest visibility all around.

2.9 Fuel

2.9.1 Refueling Each fuel tank holds 222 gallons – total 444 gallons. Turn the ignition keys ON to read the Pilothouse fuel gauges.

Estimate. Estimate the number of gallons to add to each tank based on the fuel gauge reading. For example, if fuel gauge is ¾ full, anticipate 55-gallons; if ½ full, 110-gallons; if ¼ full, 165-gallons.

NOTE -- It is good practice to refuel before the tanks reach ¼ full. The best reason is to avoid the anxiety of searching for fuel.

Fuel Filler Cap. The FUEL FILL CAP for each tank is located on the side-deck, aft of the

pilothouse doors. Fuel vents are located below the tank opening. Remove the FILLER CAP with the CAP REMOVAL TOOL.

Diesel Hose. At the pump, ensure the attendant provides the correct fuel hose: DIESEL,

DIESEL, DIESEL. Make sure the nozzle is placed into the ‘DIESEL’ deck filler opening (and not the sewage holding tank). Double-check to avoid catastrophe. Have extra oil sorbs handy to soak up spilled fuel.

NOTE – On some fuel docks, the hose length is insufficient to reach the opposite side deck fill; therefore, it may be necessary to pass the hose through the pilothouse. Please take steps to protect the carpet and interior. Reposition rugs, mats, and oil sorbs beneath the hose path. Before passing hose through the pilothouse, wrap a sorb around the nozzle to catch drips. Wipe the hose with sorbs or towels to remove fuel, grease, and dirt.

Pumping. If necessary, position a crewmember at the pump to call out number of gallons.

Place the nozzle into the tank opening. Pump slowly and evenly. Note the sound of the fuel flow. Pumping too fast may interfere with escaping air and result in a fountain of fuel spewing from the opening. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. Pay attention to the TANK OVERFLOW VENT on the outside below the opening. Spurting may indicate the tank is full. Be prepared to catch spilled fuel from the overflow vent. Top off carefully. NOTE -- Spillage may result in a nasty fine from law enforcement.

Fuel Filler Cap. Replace each tank fill cap, but do not over-tighten. Clean spillage with oil

sorbs for environmental and health reasons. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly.

2.9.2 Fuel Management The FUEL MANAGEMENT BOARD is located beneath the hatch opening at the front engine compartment. Fuel is directed from either tank to the engines and generator using the supply valves. Recheck the position of the valve levers each time when entering or exiting the engine compartment to ensure they are open (vertical position).

3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Systems. The boat electrical system is organized into TWO power distribution systems:

• DC (Direct Current) – 12V boat systems, lights, and electronics. • AC (Alternating Current) – 120V appliances, similar to household use

DC Sources. The DC power distribution system has six sources:

• House Battery Bank #1 - main boat systems, lights, and electronics • House Battery Bank #2 – AC devices connected to inverter, as well as DC components • Starboard Engine Battery – Starboard Engine starting • Port Engine Battery – Port Engine starting • Generator Battery – Diesel Generator starting • Thruster Battery (24V) – Bow Thruster operation

AC Sources. The AC power distribution system has three sources:

• Shore power – connected to all AC systems • 12 kilowatt Diesel generator – connected to all AC systems • DC-AC Inverter – connected to ‘selected’ AC systems (see section ‘Inverter Power’)

The boat electrical components are controlled at the Pilothouse AC and DC ELECTRICAL PANELS, the BATTERY SWITCH PANEL in the Salon aft port cabinet, and the Thruster BATTERY switch in the Forward Stateroom. When AC Shore Power or the Generator is not used, the DC batteries provided 12-volt DC power and ‘inverted’ 120-volt AC power. Batteries have limited capacity. Monitor the use of DC electricity carefully. Turn OFF unnecessary electrical devices to conserve battery power. Shore Power, generator, or engine alternators restore battery capacity through charging devices. AC and DC Panel breakers are labeled for all devices and circuits.

3.1 DC System

3.1.1 Battery Banks and Switches The BATTERY BANKS supply power for DC lights, electronics, engine starting, generator starting, and bow thruster. There are six battery banks:

Battery or Battery Bank Battery Type Fully Charged Capacity Port Engine Battery SeaVolt Group 8D (wet cell) 255-AH Starboard Engine Battery SeaVolt Group 8D (wet cell) 255-AH House Battery Bank #1 boat system Trojan T105 (4x6V 2-Pair, Deep-Cycle) 450-AH House Battery Bank #2 inverter Dyno GC2B (4x6V 2-Pair, Deep-Cycle) 490-AH Generator Battery SeaVolt Group 24 650CCA (wet cell) 65-AH Thruster Battery Bank (24V) Optima Glasmat (2x12V, DeepC, dry) 130-AH

Battery power consumption is measured in ampere per hour (AH or amp-hr). For example, a DC device consuming 10-amps for 10 hours would use 100-AH (#amperes multiplied by #hours equals #amp-hrs). Note - The DC lights in the salon alone consume 10+ Amps -- use DC devices wisely.

If cruising for more than a week, remove battery caps and inspect the battery electrolyte fluid level. If the metal plates are exposed, add distilled water to cover. DO NOT overfill. Distilled water is normally stowed in the compartment beneath the port Lazarette hatch cover. WARNING -- Do NOT use bottled water – it is NOT distilled water, and it will destroy a battery.

3.1.2 Panel Digital Multi-meter The BATTERY MULTI-METER is located on the DC panel. Rotate the battery switch between port, starboard, house 1, house 2, generator, and thruster. The left and right buttons on the meter will toggle the meter between voltage display and current display. Current (ampere) readings are valid for HOUSE 1 and HOUSE 2 battery banks only. A ‘negative’ current value indicates discharging – a ‘positive’ value indicates charging. This is useful for monitoring consumption of DC devices and for conserving battery power.

3.1.3 Battery Charge Condition Battery charge activity can be checked using the multi-meter. While a battery bank is charging, the voltage may read from 13.1 volts to 14.4 volts depending on the state-of-charge of the battery. When a battery bank is ‘at-rest’ (not charging), the voltage provides a rough indication of the state-of-charge and amp-hour capacity remaining in the battery bank. (See AH capacity at paragraph 3.1.1).

Battery Meter Voltage Battery State-of-Charge

12.65 volts 100% 12.47 volts 75% 12.25 volts 50% 11.95 volts 25% 11.70 volts 0%

3.1.4 Battery Charging and Combining

3.1.4.1 Engine Alternators. The ENGINE ALTERNATORS provide charging capacity to the engine and house batteries while underway to support nominal use of navigation and lighting devices. Engine speed above 1200 RPM will activate alternator charging; see meter movement at helm panel.

3.1.4.2 House Battery Charger The BATTERY CHARGER (Promariner Model Promatic 50-3) provides charging to Port engine, Starboard engine, House Battery Bank #1 (boat systems), and House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) through the Battery Charging Relay (see below) from Shore Power source or Generator Power source. Continuous battery charge output is 50 Amps DC. Turn ON the BATTERY CHARGER switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel. The battery charger unit is located in the engine compartment portside.

3.1.4.3 Inverter Battery Charger The INVERTER CHARGER (Outback Model VFX-2812M) provides charging to House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) and the House Battery Bank #1 (boat systems) through the Battery Charging Relay when connected (see below). Continuous battery charge output is 120 Amps DC. Ensure both the INVERTER AC SUPPLY switch and the INVERTER/CHARGER switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel are ON for charging when connected to Shore Power or Generator Power. These switches are normally ON. Turn OFF for maintenance. The Inverter is located beneath the Salon starboard aft seat.

3.1.4.4 House Batteries Automatic Charging Relay An AUTOMATIC CHARGING RELAY (ACR) connects House Battery Bank #1 (boat systems) and House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) during charging.

Page 24: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 24 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

When no charging source is present, the relay disconnects the banks to conserve storage. For example if House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) is discharged heavily, the ACR will disconnect to isolate House Battery Bank #1. Three LED indicators show the following:

• GREEN – Bank #1 and Bank #2 connected. If charge voltage to a bank is high, the LED will turn ON and connect the other bank in about 1 minute for charging.

• AMBER – Either bank is being discharged. When the LED turns ON, the battery banks will disconnect in about 1 minute.

• RED – Over-voltage (above 15-volts). The RED LED will turn ON, and the relay will disconnect battery banks.

NOTE -- The ACR is bypassed when the adjacent House Batteries Switch is in Battery ‘Combine’ position. (See section House Batteries Switch)

3.1.5 House Batteries Switch The switch is located forward of the generator next to the house battery-automatic charging relay ACR. When in ON position, the HOUSE BATTERIES SWITCH connects the House Battery Bank #1 to boat systems components and the House Battery Bank #2 to DC inverter components. When in the OFF position, both battery banks are disconnected from DC system. In exceptional cases, both House Battery Banks can be combined (for example, to carry an ailing battery bank or a failing charger). Turn the switch to the COMBINE position. CAUTION – If one bank is severely discharged, a large current transfer will occur across the switch.

3.1.6 Port Engine–House Battery #2 ACR To supplement charging while underway, an AUTOMATIC CHARGING RELAY (ACR) connects the House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) to the Port Engine alternator (via the port engine battery) When port alternator is not operating, the relay disconnects to isolate the Port Engine Battery and House Battery Bank #2. Also, the port alternator is disconnected during engine cranking (‘start isolation’) to avoid voltage spikes into the House DC system. NOTE -- The adjacent Battery Switch controls the circuit – it is in the ON position normally. Turn OFF when maintaining either battery/battery bank.

3.1.7 Engine Batteries Parallel Switch An ENGINE BATTERIES PARALLEL switch is provided at the pilothouse helm. It will combine STARBOARD ENGINE BATTERY and PORT ENGINE BATTERY in situation where an engine battery is too weak to start its engine.

3.1.8 Thruster Charger & Battery Switch The THRUSTER BATTERY CHARGER (Xantrex Model XC 1524) provides charging to the Bow Thruster Battery Bank.

Page 25: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 25 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

Turn ON the BT BATTERY CHARGER switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel. The battery charger is located beneath the forward stateroom bunk, starboard side. NOTE - The thruster battery bank has a dedicated 24-V charger connected to shore power or generator (AC sources). It DOES NOT connect to the inverter-charger or engine alternators for DC charging. The THRUSTER BATTERY SWITCH is located on the starboard side of the forward stateroom bunk. Normally this switch is in the ON position for bow thruster operation. Turn OFF the switch to disconnect the battery during emergency or maintenance.

3.1.9 Circuit Breakers and Fuses The MASTER CIRCUIT BREAKERS for DC Accessory, Windlass, and Davit are located on the BATTERY PANEL in the Salon aft port cabinet. All DC device circuit breakers are located on Pilothouse DC panel. Accessory fuse blocks for electronics, such as VHF radio, are located beneath the helm stations. Some electronic equipment has secondary fuse protection located near the unit.

3.1.10 12-Volt DC Outlets 12-VOLT OUTLETS are located as follows:

3.2 AC System

3.2.1 AC Sources There are three sources available for AC 120-volt power AC Source Source Location Service Capacity Shore Power 3x Inlets on Pilothouse Stb Side LINE 1 = 30-A

LINE 2 = 30-A LINE 3 = 50-A

Generator Activate unit at Pilothouse AC Panel 50-A Inverter Available when Shore Power or Generator are not 30-A

Shore Power and Generator CANNOT provide power service simultaneously. The Inverter will provide power service to selected 120-v AC devices, whenever Shore Power or Generator are NOT providing service -- see section Inverter Power for more information. Whichever AC source is used, the total power consumption of AC components might exceed the shore power service. For example, if the shore power is 30-amps, a combination of appliances and lights exceeding 30-amps will cause the Line 1 AC circuit breaker to trip OFF. It may be necessary to turn off some AC devices to avoid exceeding the capacity of shore power.

3.2.2 Shore Power

3.2.2.1 Service Connection Most marinas offer 30-amp (30A) service. Simply plug the 30A cord between the boat inlet and shore receptacle. Shore POWER CORDS and extensions are found under the Lazarette starboard hatch. If the marina has 15-amp (15A), 20-amp (20A), or 50-amp (50A) service, connect cord adapters to the shore power receptacle then to the cord.

Shore Source Adapter Type Location Cord Line1 Line2 Line3 15A-125V 15A-125V to 30A-125V Pilothouse 30A X X N/A 20A-125V 20A-125V to 30A-125V Pilothouse 30A X X N/A 30A-125V None Needed 30A X X N/A

50A-125/250V 50A-125/250V to 50A-125V Lazarette 50A N/A N/A X Shore power INLETS are located on starboard side of Pilothouse. Normally, use LINE 1 for dockside service and set the AC Panel for Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3 in parallel service mode (see service options below). Before connecting, turn OFF the DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker on the AC master panel. First, connect the shore power cord to the boat inlet. Allow slack in the cable.

Page 27: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 27 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

Next, turn OFF the switch on the shore power receptacle. Then, connect the cord to the receptacle. Finally, turn ON the shore power receptacle. CAUTION -- Always attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first, then to dockside service last, to avoid shock or injury by accidental drop of “hot” cord into the water. Move power cord off pathways and shield from foot traffic. Coil excess cordage. Hang cord securely if over water. Turn ON the DOCKSIDE MASTER switch. The VOLTMETER will read 110 to 120-volts. WARNING -- Check the electrical panel polarity indicator. A “red” light indicates reverse polarity and is dangerous – DO NOT engage the DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker switch. Immediately turn OFF the shore power source, disconnect cord, and notify dock or marina management. Turn ON individual AC component breakers, as required. If the dockside power capacity is exceeded, the breaker will trip. Reduce or turn off excess AC devices before resetting the breaker.

3.2.2.2 Service Line Options Normally, LINE 2 and LINE 3 on the Pilothouse AC Panel are operating in “parallel’ mode with LINE 1. “Parallel mode” is setup when LINE 2 selector switch points to ‘Line 1-2’ and LINE 3 Selector switch points to ‘Line 1-3”. The MASTER breakers for Lines 2 and 3 are disabled. In “parallel” mode, total current value is the sum of the three AMMETER values. If the total value current exceeds the capacity of shore power service, the LINE1 DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker will trip. Reduce AC components to not exceed the service capacity If additional shore power service is desired and available, LINE 2 and/or LINE 3 can be switched to “normal” mode to deliver power to their respective AC lines, increasing total power to the boat. In “normal” mode, the current is read on each line’s AMMETER. NOTE -- The most common use, and the easiest to control, is “parallel” mode.

3.2.3 Generator Operation The Westerbeke diesel-powered GENERATOR is located beneath the Lazarette center hatch. Before operating the generator, ensure the generator SEACOCK is OPEN and the strainer is clear of debris. Check the oil level dipstick periodically. Check the coolant level inside the portside cockpit locker. Close the sound enclosure.

The GENERATOR CONTROL is located on the Pilothouse AC panel. To start the generator, rotate the GENERATOR CONTROL knob to RUN position. Press and hold the PRE-HEAT/OVERRIDE switch for about 15-seconds to pre-heat generator. Then, while still pressing the pre-heat switch, rotate the CONTROL knob to the START position, releasing the control knob as the generator starts. About 5-seconds later, release the pre-heat switch. Do not operate the starter for more than 15 seconds. If the generator does not start, wait at least 30 seconds, repeat steps above, and then attempt another start. NOTE -- The starting solenoid has been known to stick when the PRE-HEAT/OVERRIDE switch is pressed. To check the condition of the solenoid, open the generator enclosure and locate the solenoid arm at the front starboard side of generator. Have an assistant push the PRE-HEAT switch

Page 28: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 28 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

and observe the movement of the solenoid arm. If it does not move, tap the arm until it is free. Repeat start procedure. Normally, the boat’s AC system is setup for shore power source on LINE 1 ‘parallel’ mode. To set up for generator usage, turn OFF the Line 1 AC MASTER switch. Slide the breaker lockout protector to uncover GENERATOR AC MASTER switch. Turn ON the Line 1 AC MASTER switch. Next, turn ON the GENERATOR breaker switch. The green light will indicate power is available. The power available indicator and the AC voltage meter will indicate power. If power is not indicated, recheck circuit breaker settings above. As a last resort, open the generator enclosure and ensure the generator equipment circuit breaker is turned ON at the rear of the generator unit. Turn ON AC component breakers as required. Monitor the Generator oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage gauges on the AC panel. The generator will automatically shut down if oil and temperature conditions are unsatisfactory. Fuel to the generator is supplied from either port or starboard fuel tanks. The Fuel Management Board valves levers indicate source selection. The levers must be matched so the ‘return fuel’ is routed back to the source tank. Otherwise, fuel would be transferred from one tank to the other and may overfill a tank and spill overboard through the tank vent. The GENERATOR BATTERY cutoff switch is located in the aft cabinet port side of the Salon.

3.2.4 Inverter Power The INVERTER provides AC power when Shore Power or Generator is not connected. Three switches on the AC and DC panels control inverter operation.

When Dockside or Generator power is available, the INVERTER will disconnect automatically from HOUSE BATTERY BANK #2, switch to Dockside or Generator source, and charge the HOUSE BATTERY BANK #2. If the Inverter does not operate, inspect the INVERTER located beneath the salon corner seat. If there is no indicator light, then the main current fuse may need to be changed.

• Turn OFF the HOUSE BATTERY COMBINER switch beneath the center Lazarette hatch. • At the fuse holder beneath the starboard hatch, remove the 2 bolts on the fuse • Replace with 300 Amp fuse in the Electrical spares box (beneath Salon seat).

WARNING: Take precautions to avoid contacting DC high current.

4 SANITATION SYSTEM Each crewmember must use only marine tissue paper in the Marine Toilets -- this is important. Otherwise, pipes, valves, and pumps can clog. An inoperable toilet is an inconvenience to everyone, as well as a nasty, costly repair. Adults should train and monitor children to make sure no foreign objects (non-waste items) are thrown into the toilet. Whenever the HOLDING TANK (TankWatch) Light on the Pilothouse DC Panel is RED, take steps to dispose sewage in the holding tank.

4.1 Marine Toilet Turn ON the two TOILET switches and the WATER PRESSURE switch on the DC panel. Each MARINE TOILET (VacuFlush) is emptied at the press of the foot switch. Lift up the foot switch to add water to the bowl for flushing. CAUTION – NEVER, EVER put hard objects, tampons, sanitary napkins, Kleenex, paper towels, household toilet paper, or food scraps into the toilet. Use ONLY marine tissue paper, which dissolves in the system. If remediation steps fail to restore operation, the toilet system will need to be serviced (that means, opening the pipes and tank). The common reason is disregard of ‘Never Ever’. If the bowl fails to drain and the pump is working, the bowl drain may be clogged. The opening is small to protect the system. Turn OFF the TOILET and the WATER PRESSURE switches at the DC panel. Press the pedal to open the ball valve and clear debris from the opening. Turn ON the switches and flush a couple times. If the bowl fails to fill with water after flushing, check the WATER PRESSURE switch on the DC Panel or status of the water tank (tank may be empty). If the toilet pump turns ON while the toilet is not being used, check for water in the bowl. If there is no water, the reason is often a poor seal of the ball valve after the last flush, resulting in a vacuum leak. Listen for sound of hissing air. Hold down the foot switch to open the ball valve. Clear toilet paper, hair, or other small debris than may be trapped between the ball and the seal. NOTE – If toilet pump fails, a spare pump and bellows kit is stowed forward of the starboard engine.

4.2 Sanitation Holding Tank The SANITATION HOLDING TANK capacity is 48 gallons. Be aware of sewage production rate for the crew – this is about 1 gallon per flush. Take steps to dispose sewage from filled holding tank. An overfilled tank may cause a hose to break, clog the tank air vent, or burst a seal. The result will be indescribable catastrophe and costly repair.

Page 32: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 32 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

4.2.1 Sanitation Tank Warning The HOLDING TANK MONITOR is located on the Pilothouse DC panel. Turn ON the HOLDING TANK MONITOR switch on the DC Panel. A ‘red’ warning light ON indicates the tank is full. Take steps to empty the tank (see below). Do not rely totally on the ‘red’ warning light – if in doubt; check the holding tank fluid level in the engine compartment starboard side with a flashlight

4.2.2 Marine Pump out Station Marine Pump-out Stations are located at many fuel docks and floats. Use each refueling opportunity to empty the sanitation holding tank. Follow the instructions on the pump unit. In larger marinas, mobile pump-out services will come to the boat. Remove the WASTE CAP located on the starboard side. Double check the deck fitting to be sure it is WASTE. Insert the pump-out nozzle into the opening. Some units will require a screw-in adapter. Turn ON the lever located on pump-out handle. When finished, close the lever. If freshwater is available, it is a good idea to fill the tank partially, then pump out again to reduce odors. Replace the WASTE CAP.

4.2.3 Overboard Discharge NOTE -- Be familiar with the laws concerning dumping sewage directly overboard. To discharge, turn ON the HOLDIND TANK DISCHARGE switch on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Depress both MACERATOR ROCKER SWITCHES simultaneously on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Listen to the macerator’s sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty.

7 HEATING AND COOLING There are three systems for heating and one for cooling. System Heating Cooling Diesel Furnace YES Cabin Electric YES Reverse Cycle YES YES

The Webasto DIESEL FURNACE system, rated at 45,000 Btu, is preferred for heating. It can be used in nearly every situation -- it uses minimal DC power and diesel fuel. The system includes 7 fan heater units, and it can produce warm tap water when the system has been active. The King ELECTRIC CABIN HEATERS are AC-powered and are available when the boat is connected to Shore Power or operating the Generator. The 4 units provide heating in local zones. The Marine Air Reverse Cycle system is available during Shore Power or Generator operation. The 3 units provide heating or cooling depending upon the thermostat settings. The system can supplement heating on extremely cold days, until the Diesel Furnace is operating at capacity. It may be necessary to limit the choice of cabin heaters or reverse cycle units to remain within the AC service capacity of Shore Power source (e.g. 15-amps, 20-amps, or 30-amps). When operating the onboard Generator, capacity is not an issue.

7.1 Diesel-Furnace Heating System Turn ON the SYSTEM HEAT on the panel above the Salon Stereo cabinet. Allow 10 to 15 minutes to reach the minimum operating temperature for the fan units to operate. The system heat switch controls the boiler unit and circulation pump, which are located beneath the Lazarette port hatch. WARNING -- Do not to position a rafted boat, dinghy, fender, towels, or hands over or near the exhaust port on the hull portside. The exhaust is VERY HOT and will cause injury or damage. Seven Webasto fan-heater units within the boat interior provide heating in four comfort zones Comfort Zone Thermostat Location Salon, Galley Salon starboard Aft Stateroom, Passageway, Aft Head Aft Stateroom Forward Stateroom, Mid Stateroom, Forward Head Forward Stateroom Port Pilothouse Pilothouse helm (3-way rotary switch)

At each thermostat, note the reading of the ‘current’ room temperature. Press the UP or DOWN button to ‘set’ the desired temperature. Air will flow from the fan units when the temperature setting is higher than the ‘current’ temperature. For simple use, there are two temperature presets that will allow easy changes between daytime and nighttime temperature settings. Press the ‘SUN’ button once for the preset temperature of 68-degrees. Press the ‘MOON’ button once for the preset temperature of 60-degrees.

This is dependent upon the PC or PDA hardware. Normally, turn on the ‘Wi-Fi’ or the PC’s wireless card radio, and check the connection status. Step 2. Connect PC/PDA to ‘Starlight Express’ LAN (local area network). Using the PC’s network application, search for the SSID ‘stx’ – it should indicate a strong signal. Press the application’s select/connect button. If connection is successful, go to Step 3. If this is first attempt to select ‘stx’, the PC application should prompt for the network security code or pass-phrase. Enter the code ‘DE9QDQBCRT’ – it is case sensitive. Press the application’s select/connect button. Verify successful connection to ‘stx’. Save the SSID ‘stx’ site to the PC’s network list. Next time, the PC application should not prompt for security code. Step 3. Connect ‘Starlight Express’ LAN to an ISP (Internet Service Provider). At each moorage location, find an available ISP access point in the marina or nearby community. If same location since the previous network session, either:

• Go to Step 4, if satisfied with access point service. • Continue below to locate an access point.

Using the PC’s internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc), enter the URL: 192.168.2.254 to enter the Air 802 WLAN AP Setup Browser of the boat’s Wireless Bridge device. In the left menu pane, select ‘Wireless -> Site Survey’. Click ‘Refresh’ and browse the list of access points. Click/select button for an ISP access point (for example ‘bbx’). Then, press ‘Select’ at bottom of page. Wait for the page to verify ‘Connect Successful’. NOTE -- DO NOT re-select ‘stx’ from site survey list – this is the ‘Starlight Express’ LAN. If unsuccessful, retry the access point or try another. Success will depend upon the distance to the ISP antenna and whether the path is free of boats, masts, buildings, or foliage. NOTE -- If desired, try an ISP with ‘no’ Encrypt, highest RSSI and highest Quality. However, the most reliable ISP at most Pacific Northwest marinas is ‘bbx’ (BroadbandXpress), which requires a subscription account (.e.g. $10.95 per day). Details about the service and rates will be displayed while establishing the first Internet session. Also, see details at the website http://www.bbxpress.net. You may find free access points in a local community (e.g. Starbucks). NOTE – Depending upon your Internet browser, it may be necessary to disable the PC’s ‘pop-up blocker’ feature, reset your security settings to ‘medium’, and disable proxies, firewalls, or VPN programs after the browser is launched. NOTE - DO NOT tamper/change settings in the other menu pages of the Setup Browser. Step 4. Establish an Internet Session Enter a web site URL, such as http://www.google.com, to test the Internet connectivity. NOTE – If you selected Broadband Express as the ISP above, the screen will request login to your BBX account and the subscription type. First time users may set up a new account. After successful credit card payment, you will be able to connect to any public web site.

10 ANCHORING & DOCKING

10.1 Working Anchor Two anchoring systems are aboard – working and spare. Anchoring techniques may be reviewed in the Chapman’s Piloting Book. The WORKING ANCHOR is a Bruce-type anchor weighing 66 lbs (30 kg) mounted on the bow roller. It is attached to a 100-ft chain and a 200-ft nylon rode passed through the HAUSE PIPE to the ANCHOR LINE LOCKER located behind the mirror panel in the Forward Stateroom. It is deployed and retrieved using the Muir Cougar WINDLASS.

10.1.1 Anchor Deployment Before deployment, free the LOCKING CAMS on the winch sprocket. First, lift and free the locking cam on the lever and rotate the lever backward to the deck. Then, lift the locking cam on the forward side and rotate it to the deck. These are used if manual retrieval of the rode is necessary. The winch sprocket will now rotate freely for power use. Ensure the clutch has sufficient drag – use the WINCH CRANK in the forward deck locker to if necessary to adjust. The crank is also used for manual retrieval if DC power is insufficient. Turn ON the WINDLASS POWER switch in the Pilothouse AC Panel left side. If there is still no power, check the WINDLASS MASTER BREAKER Switch in the Salon Aft Battery Switch Panel. At the foredeck, open the HAUSE PIPE cover to free the rode. Uncover the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. Maneuver the boat to the anchor location. Tap gently on the DOWN control as the anchor slides over the bow roller to prevent swinging. The anchor may need a nudge to clear the roller. Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE (chain and nylon line) before setting the anchor. Paint marks are every 30-feet on the chain and the nylon rode, indicating the length deployed. Set the anchor by reversing the engines and idling back to tighten the rode. When finished, turn OFF the windlass panel switch. CAUTION -- Monitor the boat position to ensure the anchor remains set. With the variety of bottom conditions in Pacific Northwest waters, this is important, especially in strong winds, abrupt changes of wind direction, or directional changes of tidal current.

10.1.2 Anchor Retrieval The windlass uses a large amount of DC electrical power; therefore, operate the windlass with the engines running. Turn ON the WINDLASS POWER SWITCH at the Pilothouse AC Panel. Open the HAUSE PIPE cover to ensure the chain will pass freely from the winch sprocket to the rode locker below deck.

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 50 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

Turn ON the WASHDOWN switch on the DC Panel. Open the FOREDECK LOCKER, retrieve the hose, and prepare to wash the anchor rode and anchor as it is raised. As the boat moves toward the anchor point, press the UP control as necessary to retrieve slack rode, rather than pulling on the rode. Coordinate the maneuver with the helmsperson to hover the bow above the anchor point while the anchor is raised. As the anchor nears the surface, allow the anchor hang vertically before raising out of the water to avoid swinging against the hull. Tap gently on the UP control and guide the anchor into the proper position for the bow roller. Gently return anchor stowed position on the pulpit. CAUTION – Tap the pedal controls in tiny bursts when anchor is on pulpit to avoid over-tightening the rode and damaging the pulpit. Connect a flexible tie-cord between the anchor and windlass to snug the anchor Close the plastic covers on the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. Turn OFF the WINDLASS power switch at the AC Panel and the WASHDOWN switch on the DC panel.

10.2 Spare Anchor The SPARE ANCHOR is a Bruce-Type anchor weighing 44 lb. (20 KG). Use it to supplement special anchoring situations or replace a lost Working Anchor temporarily. It is located beneath the Lazarette port hatch. A 12-ft of chain is attached. Connect the chain’s shackle to the 200-ft SPARE ANCHOR RODE stowed beneath the Lazarette starboard hatch.

10.3 Bow Thruster The BOW THRUSTER is a Sidepower SE 120/215T, 24-volt model located beneath the forward stateroom bunk. It may be useful for positioning the bow during docking. Ensure the main THRUSTER BATTERY SWITCH located in the forward stateroom bunk starboard is turned ON when boarding. Know this location to disconnect thruster in case of control malfunction. Operate the thruster from either the pilothouse or bridge. To activate the control joystick, push both ON buttons on the panel simultaneously and observe indicator light. Move the joystick in the direction desired, port or starboard. The momentum will carry the bow. Turn OFF when not used. The manufacture says the maximum continued use time is approximately 3 minutes. The electromotor has a built-in thermal cut-off switch to shut off the electromotor if overheating, and it will re-engage only after it has cooled sufficiently. Consider this when planning the docking maneuver. This also means the thruster cannot be counted on to hold the boat in current or side wind for extensive periods. The best practice is to use good docking technique before committing the bow thruster.

Page 51: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 51 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

Be aware of objects, small watercraft, or persons near the thruster. The thruster blades will draw objects into the tunnel.

10.4 Mooring Buoys The Washington State Park Sticker on the vessel starboard transom allows use of Marine parks docks and mooring buoys. Mooring buoys usually have a metal triangle on top with a metal ring. A printed plate provides the capacity information for the buoy. Before mooring, determine the rating capacity and the maximum boat length permitted on the mooring buoy. The metal ring is attached to the buoy’s chain and can usually be lifted upward to the boat to attach a mooring line. But, the chain is heavy -- a strong crewmember should assist in this task. The helmsman should maneuver from downwind or down current. Use two crewmembers at the bow, one with a boat hook and one to assist with a mooring line. The end of the mooring line should be secured to one of the bow cleats. As easy way to coordinate with helmsman is to have one crewmember point an arm continuously at the buoy. Through body language, the helmsman will know the buoy’s location in relation to the bow as it disappears from view. One crewmember hooks the metal ring and raises it. Another crewmember, threads the mooring line through the ring and secures the free end to an opposite bow cleat, forming a bridle with 10-feet slack from the buoy. In wind or current, use the special MOORING HOOK as a simpler way to gain a hold of the mooring buoy. The hook and attached mooring line (white) is located in the foredeck locker. Lead the loop end of the mooring line from below the pulpit, upward through the opening, and attach loop to a cleat. Hold the hook in position on the end of the boat pole with tension on the mooring line. Maneuver the boat to the buoy. Reach out, insert the hook end into the buoy’s metal ring, and set the hook. To retrieve hook, lift the bend of the hook with a boat pole. For overnight stays, supplement the mooring hook with a line through the ring and secured to boat cleat.

10.5 Stern Tie Using stern tie to shore is often necessary when the anchorage is crowded, when the swing space is limited, or when rotation around the anchor point is not desired. A 400-ft lightweight propylene line can be used for the stern-tie line. It is on a roll beneath the cockpit port hatch. In anchorages where stern tie mooring is common, metal rings may be found on the shore for stern lines. To set up easy retrieval upon departure, thread the free end of the propylene line through the shore ring and return the free end to the boat, doubling the line. Upon departure, retrieve line by releasing the free end from the boat and pulling through the ring. The 200-ft spare anchor rode can also be used as stern-tie line.

11 DINGHY The DINGHY is a Rendova rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with 40-horsepower Honda 4-stroke motor. It has a capacity to carry 4-people. Dinghy and motor weigh about 750 pounds.

11.1 Launch The DAVIT BREAKER is located in the Salon aft battery switch panel and is normally ON. Plug the DAVIT CONTROL UNIT cord into the DAVIT WINCH CONTROL RECEPTACLE located on the masthead just forward of the davit. The DAVIT WINCH CONTROLLER is a hand-held unit attached to 8-foot cord and plug, is normally stored on the Pilothouse helm port shelf. WARNING -- After each use, disconnect the DAVIT CONTROL UNIT from the receptacle. If the handset becomes wet, it may short-circuit the handset causing the davit to operate ‘uncontrolled’. There will be severe strain on the davit, cable, and dinghy and damage will result. NOTE – A spare DAVIT WINCH CONTROLLER is located beneath the Pilothouse helm port seat. Install the aft drain plug located just below the motor. If already in place, turn ON the BILGE PUMP switch to remove the bilge water and unnecessary weight. CAUTION – If bilge water is not removed, the dinghy will not maintain an even keel when lifted. The water will re-locate to the bow and it will point downward haplessly and be difficult to launch. Release the three deck tie downs. If the deck stanchions are in place, remove them and stow them in beneath the Bridge seat. WARNING -- Before engaging the control, ensure the davit cable is on the davit roller and will run freely. Because the cable is lightweight, it tends to ride off the roller onto the shaft if the cable is slack. If it rides the shaft, there will be severe strain on the cable and risk of breakage! Keep tension on the cable when it is free and check the roller frequently. A plastic guide helps stay the cable. Carefully, nudge the hand switch to the IN position to begin lifting. Slowly lift the dingy clear of the deck and chocks. WARNING -- Do not make contact between hook and boom roller– there will be tremendous strain and damage will occur. Ensure good footing; the boat will list to port. Push the dinghy back and outward, rotating the davit boom outward. When the davit boom is nearly perpendicular to deck, rotate the dinghy parallel to the deck, bow pointing aft. Check clearance, and nudge the hand-switch to the OUT position to gently lower the dinghy, guiding it down the side. WARNING -- Allow no person to ride the dinghy or be positioned below it. Remove the lifting harness from the 3 positions on the dinghy. For safety, clip the three hooks back to the main ring to control loose gear. Move the dinghy to swim step or dock. Raise the cable, maintaining natural tension on the line. Rotate the davit boom inward. Use the cable hook or one of the short lifting harness hooks to secure the davit boom to the deck cleat.

11.2 Operation

11.2.1 Pre-Checks Before operating, open the engine cover and check the oil with the motor level. Spare oil is located in the Cockpit portside cabinet. The 17-gallon tank is filled with Gasoline ONLY. DO NOT add oil to fuel. CAUTION – The most common problem is water in the fuel. Take measures to prevent water from entering the fuel tank during refueling and avoid ‘drowning’ the fuel cap when operating. Before first-use and often thereafter, inspect the fuel-water separator located beneath the seat. Rotate the drain valve, and drain completely. Close the separator valve and flush the hose by pushing-in on the ball valve while squeezing fuel through the primer bulb. If water enters the three carburetors, use a screwdriver to loosen the drain plug beneath each bowl (being very careful not to lose the screw) and flush the fuel bowls by pumping fuel through with the primer bulb. A 12-volt battery charger is stowed beneath the starboard bridge seat (red box) for battery charging if necessary. Plug into a 120-volt receptacle (one is located inside bridge entertainment cabinet), using an extension cord from the Electrical Tool Box (orange) located beneath the salon starboard seat.

11.2.2 Use Lower or raise the motor by pressing ‘Down’ or ‘UP’ on the MOTOR TILT rocker switch on the throttle handle, or on the side of the engine cover. Connect the fuel line to the motor securely. Squeeze the rubber primer to fill the carburetors. Ensure the throttle is in the NEUTRAL position. If the motor is cold, pull the CHOKE lever on the motor cover. Move the IDLE SPEED lever upward. Turn the MOTOR IGNITION KEY to crank. Back off the choke until the engine runs smoothly and the choke is no longer needed. Use the IDLE SPEED lever to maintain high rpm until the engine warms and operates smoothly. Then, return it to the downward (low speed) position – the THROTTLE lever will operate only when the lever is down. To move dingy forward, grab the THROTTLE lever, use the thumb to squeeze the handle release, and move the THROTTLE forward until the engine gear engages. To increase forward speed, push the throttle further forward. Return to neutral to disengage gear. To move backward, squeeze the handle release and move the throttle lever backward until gear engages. To increase backward speed, pull the throttle further backward. To apply motor TRIM, press on the UP/DOWN rocker switch on the throttle. . Use motor trim within safe limits. CAUTION -- Ensure crewmembers are trained properly in operation and safety. WA-State and Canadian Laws have minimum age limits that require personal certification for operating powered boats. Be aware of speed, sea conditions, and traffic.

11.3 Retrieval To retrieve the dinghy, the procedure is reverse of deployment. WARNING -- Use the BILGE pump to remove the bilge water and remove extra gear to reduce unnecessary weight on the davit. Tilt the motor UPWARD slightly to avoid damage to the rear of the boat deck. Deploy the davit boom. Move the dinghy along the port side, pointing dinghy bow toward the boat stern, and tie loosely to a cleat Clip the lifting harness to the dinghy lifting eyes. Free the dinghy, a retrieve slack on the cable. Ensure harness is not entangled with motor control cables of fuel line. WARNING -- Before engaging the control, ensure the davit cable is on the davit roller and will run freely. Because the cable is lightweight, it tends to ride off the roller onto the shaft when cable is slack. If the cable rides the shaft, there will be severe strain on the cable! Keep natural tension on the cable and check the roller frequently. A plastic guide helps the cable stay on the roller. Ensure good footing -- the boat deck will list to portside during lifting. Lift slowly and check the dinghy harness and balance. Carefully raise the line hook within a foot from the boom tip. WARNING -- Do not make contact between hook and boom roller– there will be tremendous strain and damage will occur. Allow no person to be positioned below the dinghy. Rotate the bow inboard, point it across the deck, and make contact with the davit boom. Grab the dinghy rail and the sink rail and pull steadily and firmly (the dinghy is moving uphill), while rotating the dinghy bow toward the forward chock. Guide the dinghy hull to the rear chocks, checking clearance. Ensure the chock pads are faced properly. Lower until the hull rests firmly on the chocks, and relieve tension on the cable. Secure the dinghy with the 3 deck tie downs. Ensure the DINGHY KEY SWITCH and each accessory switch are in their OFF position to avoid battery discharge. Remove the DAVIT CONTROL unit from the plug and store in pilothouse. Do not leave unattended.

15 CLEANING

15.1 Waste Management Plan All crew members and passengers must be briefed on the vessel’s Solid Waste Management Plan to comply with US Coast Guard regulation.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN for Starlight Express

Person in Charge: Master of Vessel

Solid Waste Management Procedures as Referenced Below:

All the garbage generated on the vessel is put in a garbage bag and disposed of in the trash containers at the harbor at the end of each trip or is given to the tender vessel to shore for disposal. All crew members have been oriented to the requirements of MARPOL ANNEX V by captain, and all new crew are specifically shown the MARPOL V placard and told to keep all refuse stowed on board. Passenger orientation to the vessel includes being shown the location of trash receptacles and mention of refuse discharge regulations.

15.2 Cleaning Supplies Cleaning supplies are located under the Galley sink or in the Head cabinets. DO NOT use ‘steel wool’ or metal abrasive scrubbers on the metal surfaces, sinks, and galley range - those materials will ‘certainly’ scratch those surfaces. Vinyl can only be cleaned with vinyl cleaner.

15.3 Vacuum Cleaner The CENTRAL VACUUM CLEANER and hose accessories are located in the starboard compartment in the passageway behind the Plexiglas panels. Turn ON the Vacuum Cleaner switch on the Pilothouse AC panel. The vacuum will turn ON automatically when the hose is plugged into the intake hole on the vacuum cleaner.

• Pull open the detergent tray on the left side and add 1-2 tablespoons of detergent into Dispenser B (Dispenser A for cold-cold cycle). Close the tray.

• Select Wash Cycle on the right dial. Select wash water temperature on the left dial. If drying

is desired, select drying time on the center dial. Select temperature and spin on buttons.

• Press the ON button to start. The unit will do the wash cycle first, and if drying time was selected, it will do drying cycle automatically. Washing and drying can be independent.

15.5 Deck Cleaning Gear A DECK BRUSH is located on the cockpit transom. . Two 50-ft WATER Hoses are located beneath the Lazarette portside hatch. ‘Yellow’ plastic nozzles are found on hoses or spares stowed in the Salon starboard cabinet.

16 RECREATIONAL EQUIPMENT

16.1 Barbeque The BARBECUE (Magma ‘Newport’ Model) is mounted on the starboard rail on the boat deck. Ensure flammable materials are not near the barbecue when in use. Normally, the propane tank valve in the PROPANE LOCKER is OPEN. Turn ON the ENTERTAINMENT CENTER #1 on the DC Panel. Then turn on the PROPANE Switch on the panel next to barbeque. Finally, push-in the control knob, and turn slightly (ignition position). Press the barbeque ignition button to light (the flame is very low and quiet). Turning the knob counter-clockwise will reduce the flame. To turn off, turn clockwise until the knob pops outward. If the ignition button does not ignite the burner, use matches. The barbecue generates lots of heat. Cooking greases may burn. CAUTION – When finished, ensure the BARBECUE control knob is turned OFF and the PROPANE switch is OFF.

16.2 Deck Chairs Two folding frame white-canvas deck chairs are stowed normally in the cockpit portside near doorway. Use the bungee cord to secure when not in use. Four folding blue-canvas chairs are stowed beneath the salon aft seat. Two folding canvas stools and a small folding canvas table are stowed there also.

16.3 Cooler A 155-qt Yeti Cooler is in the cockpit for additional food storage. It is molded construction, very durable, and is highly insulated. The lid may be pad-locked to meet ‘bear-proof’ certification. It is for ideal for extra beverages and foodstuff. It doubles as an outdoor seat bench.

16.4 Crab Gear Two sets of CRAB TRAPS, LINES, and FLOATS are stowed on the flybridge deck in a black canvas bag and a covered white bucket. BAIT CONTAINERS are stowed beneath the starboard seat. Assemble the float – flag-pole-buoy-pole-weight. Clip line securely to the float assembly and to the crab trap harness. Fill the bait containers and suspend containers inside trap. Crab bait is available from marina stores (or try own, for example, chicken backs).

Page 68: Starlight Express - Anacortes Yacht Charters

Starlight Express Operation Manual

starlight express OPS MANUAL 2011 V64 Page 68 of 72 Pages Last printed 3/26/2011 3:57 PM

Deploy the traps in water less than 60-ft (maximum length of line). After a waiting period, retrieve the trap. Measure crabs using the CRAB MEASURING GAUGE normally found in the bucket. Keep male crabs of proper size, greater than 6-1/4”. After use, rinse gear with fresh water. To learn more about crabbing, refer to the book How to Catch Crab found on the Pilothouse aft cabinet.

16.5 Clam Gear A CLAM SHOVEL and HAND RAKE are stowed beneath the salon aft seat. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly before re-stowing.

16.6 Fishing Gear FISHING POLES may be stowed in the pole holders on the bridge behind the seat. One Scotty electric DOWNRIGGER (Depthpower 1106 Longarm) is stowed beneath the starboard bridge seat, along with mounting equipment to mount on corners of the boat cockpit. CAUTION -- Experienced users ONLY should use downrigger equipment. Set up the downrigger in the cockpit.

• Mounting Bracket – Remove lines from the port and/or starboard hawse opening on the rail of the cockpit corner. If necessary retie lines to stern cleats. Guide the four bolts of the custom MOUNTING BRACKET ASSEMBLY into the opening. Beneath the rail, align back plate with white pads facing up against the bottom of the rail. Tighten with four wing nuts.

• Pedestal Mount – Orient the PEDESTAL MOUNT so the lever is facing inboard. Insert the

four knurled knob screws and tighten to MOUNTING BRACKET.

• Downrigger Unit – On left side of the DOWNRIGGER base, remove the red-colored base bolt. Place unit on the pedestal, align the base holes to the TILT UP BRACKET, and insert the red-colored base bolt from left (pushing completely through base), and tighten bolt.

• Power Receptacle. Plug the power cord into the RECEPTACLE beneath the rail. Rotate

the cord plug until prongs align, then push in and rotate clockwise slightly to lock. Test power to the unit by short taps on the GREEN power button. There is no other switch.

Follow good practice when using downrigger.

• Keep wire tight. Slack may form kinks or wire may wrap spool, causing damage. • Keep fingers away from the underside of the downrigger base, the spool, and the wire. • Lower the ball weight while boat is in forward motion to avoid tangle with props and rudder. • Bring gear toward you when retrieving weights or resetting release clips. Avoid leaning out –

an unexpected boat motion may send you overboard. • Remove the ball weight when downrigger is unattended. Secure ball in the ball carrier. • Use the red lock lever to secure the downrigger upright, or rotate the boom parallel to the rail. • Keep a pair of wire cutters handy to cut away snagged lines if necessary. • Keep a good bend in fishing rod. When fish hits, a bent rod will take up line as clip releases.
