Welcome Aboard!
Thank you for choosing Sunshine as your charter vessel. Please give her the respect
and care she deserves while enjoying her many fine features. We will be more than
happy to hear from you concerning suggestions to ensure your cruising satisfaction.
Please read the following operations manual and the individual manuals aboard the
boat that describe in detail the systems and accessories on the boat. Feel free to make
recommendations for changes or additions (especially corrections) as your comments
will ensure all information is understood and appropriate for all crews. The individual
manuals can be found in a large binder beside the dinette. These manuals should be of
assistance with troubleshooting if required.
Once again, welcome aboard!

** CAUTION**
With all the debris we are forced to boat through, we ask that you
observe a few simple rules of running:
Don’t run fast into the sunset or sunrise, as sparkles on the
water hide flotsam.
When running fast, always operate the vessel from the upper
helm.
A copy of Chapman’s “Piloting & Seamanship” is aboard for
reference.
Debris will be pushed away from the semi-displacement hull when
running slowly and avoid damage to the running gear. A careful
lookout will avoid costly damage to the props and/or shafts and worst
of all potentially ruin a well planned and deserved vacation. Hopefully
you will never be involved in a boating accident but, if you are,
remember that an accident report may be required. Your charter
captain can provide further information, if necessary.

B. Before departure
1. Turn 110 volt AC main breakers “OFF” on right side of power panel.
2. Turn shore power breaker “OFF” at the panel on the dock.
3. Disconnect shore power and store cord and adapters in the lazarette.
4. Power panel: Ensure batteries are charged and 12V DC breakers are
“ON”.
5. Take the cover off the Simrad navigation computer on the flybridge and
store cover in a safe place. Turn on the computer. Full manual for use of
the Simrad unit is on board, please familiarize yourself with the operations
prior to first use.
6. Turn on both VHF radios and tune to channel 16.
C. Pre-Start
Engine access is obtained by lifting the hatch covers in the main salon, and
through the access panels in the aft stateroom & mid-cabin. This access is for
checking oil, transmission fluid and coolant levels. Battery access is also
available through the mid-cabin (2 access panels).
1. CHECK OIL. Dipstick marks are separated from full to add by two
quarts. When the dipstick reads ‘add’, two quarts are needed. Halfway
between would require one quart. Diesel engines are particularly sensitive
to overfilling or low oil levels. Please be careful.
The transmission dipsticks can be reached through the rear access panel.
The sea strainers can be reached from here as well.
2. VISUALLY INSPECT belts, hoses, mounts, sea strainers, fuel filters and
coolant overflow tanks.
3. COOLANT. Coolant should be visible in the expansion tanks. If not, you
can check coolant tank by removing the cap. Add coolant as required to
reach the cold line.
4. BATTERIES. Ensure battery switches (located to starboard of the lower
helm station.) are in the “on” position

7
D. Start
1. Be sure all engines transmissions are in neutral and throttles in idle
position. The engines will not start unless you are securely in neutral.
2. Turn key clockwise-light will come on indicating preheat is engaged and
alarm will sound indicating low oil pressure. Allow up to 30 seconds for
preheat (preheat light will turn off) & turn key fully clockwise to engage
starter. Engine start should be rapid. Once started, the alarm will stop.
Immediately advance throttle to ~800 rpm until warm.Note: Engines may
be started and operated from either the Bridge station or the lower helm
station.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the second engine.
4. Visually check overboard exhaust for water flow.
5. Warm engines for approximately 5 minutes before attempting to maneuver
to avoid the possibility of stalling an engine. Run at least 15 minutes at
slow speed (~800 rpm) to allow engine to come to operating temperature
(~185 deg F) and then apply power as required.
6. Diesel engines use a lot of air. A blower switch is located on the control
panel which can be engaged to assist with air exhaust from the engine
room.
7. If an engine warning alarm sounds (possibly due to low oil pressure or
high water temperature…..normal readings are 40-60 psig for oil pressure
and 185 deg F for water temperature.), shut down the engine immediately.
If it is overheating, start troubleshooting with the sea strainers.
8. Constantly monitor oil pressure, engine temperature and fuel levels.
Note: If an engine cranks hard or appears to have a weak battery, a parallel battery
switch, located on the instrument panel, can be engaged to allow both engine batteries
to assist with engine starting.
E. Shifting
1. Shift only when the engines are at idle to avoid transmission damage.
2. PAUSE momentarily in neutral when shifting from forward to reverse or
vice-versa.
F. Engine Shut Down
Idle engines at lest 5 minutes to allow cooling of the turbochargers. DAMAGE
can occur if hot engines are immediately shutdown after running at cruising
speed.

G. Fuel * * * * CAUTION * * * *
Use Diesel #2 Only!
WARNING: The skipper must supervise all fuel filling. Be sure you are
putting fuel into the fuel tanks and not into any other tanks. There are
multiple fill ports on the boat deck…..Two for fuel, two for holding tanks and
one for potable water. The deck plates are clearly marked, but exercise
caution. Also, be sure you are filling with Diesel, not GAS! Avoid spills; don’t
trust the fuel gauges entirely and do not attempt to operate the vessel with
less than ¼ tank per side.
A fuel manifold is located in the engine compartment and allows fuel to be
drawn from either tank to feed either engine or both engines. This is useful in
the unlikely event that the fuel in one of the tanks is contaminated and this
tank must be isolated. In normal operation all valve handles should be in the
“DOWN” position.
Auxiliary Power Unit (Gen-Set)
Operation
1. The Onan diesel gen-set (Auxiliary Power Unit) is located in the aft lazarette.
2. Make sure all AC loads are off at breaker panel before starting the APU.
3. Check to ensure sea cock to APU is open and water is present in the sea
water strainer, located just aft of the APU.
4. Once the APU is running, immediately check for cooling water flow off the
starboard side. If water is not flowing, shut the APU down and prime the
cooling system by adding water to the sea strainer.
5. AC power will switch to generator power automatically when the generator is
running, even if already connected to shore power.
6. To shutdown the APU, turn off the Master AC breaker switches; allow the
APU to run unloaded for a few minutes and depress the “stop” button on the
APU control panel. The vessel will automatically return to shore power if
connected.
7. The APU draws fuel from the Starboard tank.

Galley
A. Stove/Oven
1. Propane is heavier than air and very explosive. Use extreme caution.
The propane tank is located in the locker on the upper aft deck, under the life
jackets. The propane tanks are filled regularly.
2. When changing tanks, remember the threads are reversed; or left hand
threads. To loosen, turn CCW and CW for tightening. When tightening,
lubricate the threads and be careful not to over-tighten. Leak-check can be
performed by spraying a soap and water solution on the connection and look
for soap bubbles.
3. To Operate:
a) Ensure all burner control knobs are in the “Off” position.
b) Open (CCW) the valve on top of the propane tank
c) Turn the “LP Gas” solenoid switch on (located on cabinet between
stove and sink.)
d) Push and turn burner knob ¼ turn CCW; allow air to purge from line;
hold-in and repeatedly push the “burner ignite” button until ignition
occurs. Continue holding the burner knob in for a few seconds to
allow sensor to register flame. If burner ignite button does not work,
burners can be lit with a match or BBQ lighter.
e) One burner should be lit before lighting the oven to help with gas
flow. To light the oven, turn the knob to the desired temperature
setting, push in the red “Oven Safety” button and hold a flame next to
the pilot light/heat sensor at the end of the burner on the right hand
side. Once it lights, continue to hold the button in for a few seconds.
When you release the button, the oven pilot light should stay lit. If
not repeat process holding the “Oven Safety” button in longer.
f) It is recommended that the “LP Gas” solenoid be turned off after each
use of the propane stove/oven and that the propane tank be shut off.
B. Water System
1. Check the water level monitor located on the electrical panel. Fill the
system as required using the hose on board. Purge the hose prior to
filling water tank. Be careful not to drop or lose the cap. Once the tank
overflows, cap the tank.

10
2. Water fill is located on starboard side of the deck, just aft of the “Waste”
deck plate. Please do not confuse the two…it could ruin your trip!
3. DC master circuit breaker must be switched on to use the pressurized
water system. Engaging the Water Pump switch will turn on the water
pump and activate an amber light on the panel. You will hear the pump
running, attempting to pressurize the system. If it does not shut off within
2 minutes it probably cannot establish system pressure. Troubleshooting
will be required.
C. Refrigerator
1. At anchor, the refrigerator is the biggest house battery drain. When using the
APU, the refrigerator will operate from this AC source through the battery
charger.
2. At the conclusion of your trip, please leave the refrigerator running, with
temperature setting midway and door closed.
Heads/Plumbing
A. Heads
The Jabsco marine toilet looks like a household appliance, but the plumbing
is entirely different. The hoses that transfer the waste reduce to 1” in
diameter, so they cannot transfer the same bulk as the home unit. Pamper
the marine head and your trip will be much more enjoyable.
1. To be on the safe side, only flush human waste down the heads. Dispose
of toilet paper and other items in the trash.
2. If you must, use only biodegradable toilet paper made specifically for
marine toilets.
3. Do not flush tampons, Kleenex, sanitary wipes, hair, makeup
remover pads, baby wipes etc down the marine toilets.
4. TO FLUSH, flip the lever above the pump handle to the “wet” position and
pump several SLOW strokes to wet the bowel before use. Seawater is
used for this purpose. After use, pump slowly and steadily. Don’t force
anything. After waste has disappeared, pump several more times, flip the

11
lever to “dry” and pump until all water has left the bowel. A toilet brush has
been installed next to the head to assist with cleaning.
5. If an odor develops 20 Mule Team Borax or Baking Soda can be added to
the marine system to control the odor. Vinegar can also be used to
control algae and odors.
6. WARNING: Make sure all guests are versed in the proper use of the
marine toilet system. Nothing can ruin a trip faster than an
inoperative toilet due to being plugged by material that should never
have been put there in the first place.
7. If the pump becomes squeaky and hard to pump, there are lubricants
designed to be flushed from the bowl and into the pump housing. They
soak into the gaskets and seals and improve the ease of pumping. For
best results, leave the lubricant sitting overnight to soak into the gaskets
and seals. In the absence of this lubricant, cooking oil can be put into the
head.
B. Showers
1. There are three showers on board: At the aft swim platform, in the aft
head and in the forward head. The aft shower, being a separate unit is
more convenient than the forward shower.
2. The showers discharge into a bilge area where a separate sump pump
transfers the water overboard. If you do not notice water being pumped
overboard, an inspection of the sump area may be required to determine
the cause of the problem; most likely hair preventing operation. Simple
cleaning should restore operation.
C. Holding Tanks
1. The holding tanks are located (1) under the floorboard at the forward end
of the aft stateroom and (2) under the mid-ship berth.
2. Note: The “Tankwatch” light on a panel in each head. These lights will
alert you when the holding tank is full. When the “Tankwatch” light comes
on the crew should not attempt to use the head “one more time” but use
the other head until the full tank can be emptied. This cannot be
overemphasized!! Just “One more use….” can turn into an ugly disaster.
3. To empty the holding tanks; (a) At a marine pump out station….use the
deck plates labeled “waste” at the starboard aft deck, for the aft holding

12
tank; and the starboard mid-ship deck for the forward holding tank. After
pumping, following the directions located with the bright orange pump,
hose off the deck plates, partially fill the holding tanks with water and
empty again to minimize the potential for odors occurring. Finally, flush
some deodorant chemical into the tanks to ready for the next use. Borax
or Baking Soda may also be added to control odor. (b) Use the holding
tank Macerator pumps – (only legal in Canadian waters. Never legal in
U.S. water of the Pacific NW). Have a crewmember stand at the waste
deck plate starboard, either mid-ship or at the aft quarter and observe for
waste flow. From the DC panel, depress the pair of buttons labeled “S” for
stern/aft holding tank or “B” for the bow/forward holding tank. Since there
are two pumps, each of them has two switches; they will have to operate
individually. When the crewmember at the deck plate observes no more
flow, release the pump switches to avoid damage to the pumps by running
them dry.
D. Thru-hull Plumbing and Y-valves
3. The marine heads draw water for flushing from thru-hull fittings. The valves
are open when the handles are pointing up (away form the hull) and ready for
flushing. (Valve handles will normally in the open position but should be
verified prior to operation of the vessel.) The forward head thru-hull valve is
located at the forward end of the engine compartment. The aft head thru-hull
valve is located under the aft shelf, on the port side, in the aft cabin.
4. A floor hatch is located at the bottom of the stairs to the forward cabin. Under
the floor hatch is access to the Y-valve, shower sump for the forward head
and a bilge pump. The seat, to the stern of the aft cabin, lifts up to reveal the
aft Y-valve. The valves are labeled with “Overboard” and “Holding Tank”.
When placed in the “Overboard” position, black water will be directed
overboard from the marine toilets, which is illegal in inland waters in the US.
These valves have been permanently fixed in the “Holding Tank” position,
which is what a Coast Guard inspection will require. A fine is possible for
removing these retainers.
5. Caution: It is the responsibility of the crew of the vessel to ensure that the Y-
Valves are in the correct position and permanently fixed in that position while
in inland waters.

13
Cabin Heat
1. Shore Power
Turn on the “receptacles” circuit breakers on the A/C switch panel and plug in
the portable ceramic heaters. Running both heaters on high on the same
circuit will cause the circuit breaker to trip at the electrical panel.
2. Cruise Heat
This is the fan that blows through a Red Dot hot water heating system
attached to the port engine. If the engine is hot, it will blow in hot air. If not,
no heat! The switch is located on the wall to the left of the stairs into the
forward cabin.
3. Diesel Furnace
This boat is equipped with a diesel hot air furnace. The thermostat is
located in the main cabin to the left of the electrical panel.
To operate the furnace, the on-off switch is located on the thermostat panel.
The panel has a digital display that shows current room temperature and
desired room temperature. To operate the thermostat, select the desired
temperature by pressing the “up” or “down” buttons to change the digital
display.Release the button, after two seconds, the display will default back
to the current room temperature.
Do not leave the furnace on overnight while at anchor, as the furnace motor
unit will drain the house battery.
WARNING: The diesel furnace produces very hot air. It is very important
to not block or obstruct the hot air ducts as furnace hot air is up to 180
degrees F, which can melt or burn objects placed too closely. Obstructing air
vents will cause the heater system will overheat resulting in system damage
and potentially a vessel fire.
If for any reason you smell smoke when operating. Turn the furnace off.
Electrical
A.”DC” or Direct Current (Batteries)
1 The DC battery selector switches are located on the starboard side of the
lower helm station.

14
2 There are four DC batteries on board. (1) for the APU Gen-set, (1) House
and (2) engine batteries which can be combined in parallel when desired
thru a switch on the upper or lower helm stations. The engine batteries are
mounted in front of the engines and can be accessed thru the wall hatches
in the mid-cabin and the salon. The APU battery is located next to the
APU in the lazarette. The house battery is located on the starboard side
along with the engine batteries. Mounted at the top of the DC circuit panel
is a voltmeter, with a switch, to indicate the relative health of the batteries.
3 The DC circuit breakers are all labeled with their respective functions and
are being covered during the course of the manual. “DC Master” must be
on for any accessories to function (cabin lights, water pressure pump, etc.)
as AC power is irrelevant to operation of these items.
4 Helm switches must be turned off at the station that they were first turned
on from. Duplicate switches are located at the upper and lower helm.
Therefore, if you turn on the navigation lights at the upper helm, you will
be required to turn them off at the upper helm.
5 Remember to turn on the circuit breaker to the 30-amp Pro Mariner battery
charging system whenever you are on shore power or have the APU
running.
B. “AC” or Alternating Current (Shore Power)
1. The shore power is dual 30 amp with split panel. The shore power cords
are normally stored in the cockpit locker. If you require the splitter, be
sure to monitor your amperage to make sure you do not exceed the 30
amp circuit otherwise a trip to the circuit breaker on the dock will be
necessary.
2. Ensure the AC master switch is off. Plug the shore power cord into the
starboard side mid-ship shore power receptacles. Insert the power cord
and twist CW. Tighten the black locking ring. Turn off the circuit breaker
at the dock socket. Insert the ships shore power cord to the dock station
and restore power with the dock circuit breaker.
3. Check the vessel’s AC panel. The red light indicating “Reverse Polarity”
should not be illuminated. DO NOT USE SHORE POWER IF REVERSE
POLARITY IS INDICATED. If reverse polarity is indicated and you cannot
solve this problem use the onboard APU or DC power. When line 1 and 2
are activated (“Master” on) they should each read ~115 volts.

15
Electronics
Electronics
There are complete manuals aboard for all electronic equipment. Please
familiarize yourself with the operation of these devices during fair weather and
in familiar waters.
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE RADAR OR GPS AS YOUR SOLE MEANS
OF NAVIGATION. ALWAYS REFER TO THE CHARTS ON BOARD FOR
THE AREAS WHERE YOU WILL BE NAVIGATING.
A. VHF Radios
The vessel is equipped with a VHF radio at both helms. The radio at the
upper helm is located in the equipment locker to the port side. Use channel
16 for “hailing” only and switch to another channel to conduct a conversation.
Make sure at least one other person in your crew is familiar with radio
procedure and operation.
Bilge Pumps
There are five bilge pumps and two sump pumps on board. See Appendix A for
specific locations. Switches for each of the bilge pumps are located at each helm
station. The packing glands, where the prop shafts penetrate the hull, should
drip slowly therefore automatic operation of the bilge pumps can be expected
occasionally. Continuous operation of one or more of the bilge pump may
indicate a serious problem. Please advise AYC Yacht Charters of this
situation.
Anchoring & Windlass
A. Anchors

16
A 35-pound Danforth anchor is located on the bow roller with 100 feet of 5/16”
chain and 170 feet of ½” nylon rode. The chain is marked in 10 foot
increments. The anchor locker is located behind the hinged mirror at the
head of the forward stateroom.
B. Windlass
The electric windlass is used to raise and lower the anchor. This windlass will
exert a maximum force of 1000 pounds and draw 50 amps of DC power
during operation. To prevent draining the house battery, the boat
engines must be running when lowering or raising the anchor.Extreme
care must be exercised to avoid a serous accident while using the
windlass.
C. Dinghy & Davits
A 10 foot Caribe inflatable dinghy is attached to the rear swim platform using a
davit system. Prior to lowering the dinghy, connect the battery to the 15 HP
Honda outboard engine. Set the battery on the swim platform and raise the
Honda motor with the trim tab switch so it will clear the dinghy when the dinghy is
lowered into the water using the davit system.
Lower the dinghy using the davit system. The dinghy will still be attached to the
vessel with the snaps. Load the gas tank and battery, then release the snaps
before boarding the dinghy.
Repeat the above process in reverse when raising the dinghy back onto the
davits.
Make sure the dinghy is fully inflated before use. A foot pump is stored in the
lazarette.
The Honda outboard has a transition shifter: Forware/Neutral/Reverse. Place
the shifter in neutral prior to starting the motor.
Be careful – the 15 HP motor is powerful and should not be used at full throttle.
Drive carefully and always wear life jackets!

17
Securing
1 Once securely moored at the dock, connect the shore power to the AC
supply.
2 On the AC panel, leave on the battery charger and AC receptacles. Turn
the hot water heater off.
3 Check the inventory (especially fenders and tie off the fender holders so
they won’t slip below the dock.)
4 Turn off the Simrad navigation computer and put the plastic cover back
on.
5 Turn off the VHF radios.
When leaving the boat at the end of your charter, please:
1. Turn off the stereo and any other electronic equipment
2. Turn off heaters, propane tank, interior and exterior lights
3. Unplug any electrical equipment such as coffee maker.
4. Close and lock all ports, hatches and windows
5. Perform a last inspection as you leave the boat, checking for personal
gear, locked windows and loose gear onboard. Check the tie-up and
fenders once again
Have fun and thanks for choosing Sunshine!
