Boat Guide – Pure Coincidence
Axopar 28 Cabin
This guide provides the boat specific detail on equipment type and location, plus some operating
tips that will enhance your enjoyment of the boat. There is a paper copy on board.
It assumes familiarity with Pure Latitude ‘Must Know’ Procedures which cover how to prepare,
operate and leave Pure Latitude boats - see Member Information Hub. The relevant Base Guide
complements this guide and gives information on boat location, marina facilities, local area boating
considerations and other general local guidance.
This icon identifies areas of particular importance.
Operating manuals for the various pieces of equipment (radio/plotter/heater/etc) are on board and
also readily available online. Model numbers are given in this manual to aid locating the detail
online.
Please notify us should you find any inconsistency in the documentation or if you have any
suggested improvements.

3. Boat Handling Guidance
Single outboard with bow thruster
At speed cavitation of the depth sounder will cause the depth to flash and the last known depth or
no depth to be shown. Careful navigation in known charted depths is required at speed.

Boat Guide – Pure Coincidence March 2021 Page 4 of 15
4. Power and Instrumentation Systems
4.1 Shore Power - 240 Volt Systems
Connect the boat end before the shore end to
avoid an open live cable. Disconnect in reverse
i.e. disconnect the shore first.
Tie off the power cable at both the dock and the
boat, ensuring that it doesn’t trail in the water.
Ensure there is sufficient slack in the power cable
that it will not come under tension when the boat
moves with the wind and current.
Socket and cable plugs in the bow seating area.
Ensure cap is closed when not in use / at sea.
Main breaker is in the central locker of the
foredeck seating area
Switches/ breakers at the chart table panel -
separate switches for:
battery charger
240v sockets

Boat Guide – Pure Coincidence March 2021 Page 5 of 15
4.2 Batteries – 12 Volt Systems
Battery isolators located on the aft cabin fuse panel.
Engine battery positive isolator switch
Service batteries isolator switch
Battery parallel switch is located behind trim panel
forward of fuse panel
Windlass circuit breaker is located in the central
locker of the foredeck seating area
The engine isolator is better left off when the engine is not needed.
The parallel isolator must always be off, except when you have an engine battery failure.

USB sockets on dashboard, passenger stowage area, aft cabin.
4.4 Tank Gauges
Fuel gauge
Fuel gauge is on the engine instrumentation
panel
Water gauge
To water gauge, should you run out of water and
the pump runs continuously it must be turned off
at the switch panel in the heads to avoid
damaging the pump.

Boat Guide – Pure Coincidence March 2021 Page 8 of 15
Holding Tank gauge
Located above the toilet switches and shows the
level of the tank, there is one tank sensor which
illuminates when the tank is 75% full.
4.5 Navigation Instruments
VHF fixed radio Garmin 115i
Handheld VHF – Icom M25 - see Safety Equipment section for stowage location.
 Marine VHF radios require the user to hold a relevant license. A distress procedure card is
kept near the VHF radio.
 Check that the handheld is charged before going to sea.
Chart plotter - Garmin GPSMAP 1222
Depth instruments – Garmin integrated with chart plotter
 The depth is set to read beneath the engine in metres.
Hand bearing compass - see Safety Equipment section for stowage location.
Paper navigation equipment and manuals - see Documentation section for location.
4.6 Log Transducer
Depth transducer is located on the transom, not user cleanable.

Boat Guide – Pure Coincidence March 2021 Page 9 of 15
4.7 Anchor Windlass Controller

Can be operated from foredeck control or with
remote control at helm, ensure anchor is
released from clamp and clear to drop before
operating. Pressing down releases the clutch for
anchor freefall, pressing up locks the clutch, press
and hold up to retrieve the anchor.
.
Ensure you read the anchoring section in ‘Useful
Tips’ of the must know procedures.

to clear the bowl and pipework. Always leave the switch to the right, pump handle down and locked
and the bowl dry.
Flush with fresh water from shower head before you leave the boat.
Do not pump against closed seacocks as it inverts seals.
See section on Skin Fittings for location of valves.

inside the access panel below the sink.
Press and hold the macerator pump switch on
the panel in the heads until empty. Ensure the
tank is fully emptied and close the seacock.
Use the holding tank seacocks appropriately
and do not pump out into rivers or marinas.
Do not allow to overfill.
See section on Tank Gauges for location of
gauge.
See section on Skin Fittings for location of
valves.
Always empty the holding tank before leaving the boat and leave the seacock closed.
5.5 Boat Heater
The diesel heater needs careful operation to avoid it locking you out. The heater runs from a
diesel tank. Diesel levels will be maintained by Pure Latitude.
There is a 3-minute delay before the heater appears to respond while the heater goes through its
start-up and cool down procedure. Do not be put off if nothing happens immediately and do not
switch on and off to encourage it.
When you no longer need the heater turn it off and allow to cool down for a minimum of 5 minutes
before turning the battery off (some heaters are hard wired and others via the battery isolators).
Adjust vents using louvres where possible to get the heat to the areas you want it. Do not place
items in front the heater vents.
Be aware of the heater external exhaust point and ensure that nothing (fenders) obstructs it.

Boat Guide – Pure Coincidence March 2021 Page 11 of 15
Press the power button to turn the heating on,
the button light will show green and the display
will show the heating temperature.
Pressing the control knob toggles between
temperature selection and heating power (eco,
normal, boost).
Select the temperature or mode and press the
control knob to confirm selections.
Pressing the power button will turn the heating
off, the button light will turn white.
Do not adjust timer settings.
5.6 Water Heater
Cold water supply only.
5.7 Domestic Radio
Fusion MS-BB100, port windscreen pillar control also integrated control on chart plotter, 2 speaker,
radio and Bluetooth.
Be considerate towards other boaters. Use the fader/zone function to vary the speaker selection
between inside the boat and out.
5.8 Fridge and Sink
Thermostat control and on / off is located
inside the fridge compartment, remember to
turn fridge off when not in use.
5.9 Roof
To open the roof depress the toggle on the
centre of the bar and rotate 90 degrees to
release the catch. The roof slides aft.
You must monitor the conditions when
underway and if necessary the side doors and
roof are kept closed to stop salt water spray
from entering the saloon and aft cabin areas.
All passengers are to remain inside seated
when the boat is underway.
