Ciera 2655 Sunbridge •Owner’s Manual Supplement
Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!
This owner’s manual supplement provides specific information about your boat that is not covered in the owner’s
manual. Study the owner’s manual and this supplement carefully, paying particular attention to the Limited
Warranty in this supplement. Keep the owner’s manual and this supplement on your boat in a secure, yet readily
available place.
Dealer Service
Make sure you receive a full explanation of all systems from the selling dealer before taking delivery of your boat.
Your selling dealer is your key to service. If you experience any problems with your new boat, immediately contact
the selling dealer. If for any reason your selling dealer is unable to help, you can call us direct on our customer ser-
vice hotline: [phone] or send us a FAX: [phone].
Boating Experience
If this is your first boat or if you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort and
safety, you must obtain handling and operating experience before assuming command of the boat.
Take one of the boating safety classes offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons or the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. For
more course information, including dates and locations of upcoming classes, contact the organizations directly:
•U.S. Power Squadrons: 1-888-FOR-USPS (1-888-367-8777) or on the Internet at: http://www.usps.org
•U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary: 1-800-368-5647 or on the Internet at: http://www.cgaux.org
Outside the United States, your selling dealer, national sailing federation or local boat club can advise you of local
sea schools or competent instructors.
Engine/Accessories Guidelines
Your boat’s engine and accessories were selected to provide optimum performance and service. Installing a different
engine or other accessories will cause unwanted handling characteristics. Should you choose to install a different
engine or to add accessories that will affect the boat’s running trim, have an experienced marine technician perform a
safety inspection and handling test before operating your boat again.
Please be advised that certain modifications to your boat can result in cancellation of your warranty
protection. Always check with your dealer before making any modifications to your boat.
The engine and accessories installed on your boat come with their own operation and maintenance manuals. Read
and understand these manuals before operating the engine and accessories.
CONTROL HAZARD! A qualified operator must be in control of the boat at all times. DO NOT
operate your boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
WARNING!
!
NOTICE
When storing your boat refer to your engine’s operation and maintenance manuals.

2 Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard!
Ciera 2655 Sunbridge •Owner’s Manual Supplement
Qualified Maintenance
Failure to maintain your boat’s systems as designed could violate the laws in your jurisdiction and will expose you
and other people to the danger of bodily injury or accidental death. Follow the instructions provided in the owner’s
manual, this owner's manual supplement, the engine owner’s manual and all accessory instruction sheets/manuals
included in your boat’s owner’s packet.
Special Care For Moored Boats
If moored in saltwater or fresh water, your boat will collect marine growth on its hull bottom. This will detract from
the boat’s beauty, greatly affect its performance and may damage the gelcoat.
•Periodically haul the boat out of the water and scrub the hull bottom with a bristle brush and a solution of soap
and water.
To maintain the integrity and safety of your boat, only qualified personnel should perform
maintenance on, or in any way modify: The steering system, propulsion system, engine control
system, fuel system, environmental control system, electrical system or navigational system.
WARNING!
!
NOTICE
• To help seal the hull bottom and reduce the possibility of gelcoat blistering on moored boats,
we recommend the application ofan epoxy barrier coating, such as INTERLUX, Interprotect
2000E/2001E. The barrier coating should be covered with several coats of anti-fouling paint.
• Many states regulate the chemical content of bottom paints in order to meet environmental
standards. Check with your local dealer about recommended bottom paints, and about the
laws in effect in your area.

Chapter 1: Welcome Aboard! 3

Boat Lifting
•Always follow the lift equipment’s instructions and requirements.
•If bilge water is present, pump water out of the bilge areas before lifting your boat. Excessive amounts of bilge
water can shift and change the balance of the load.
•When lifting your boat, always position the lifting slings at the fore and aft sling label positions.
Anchor Windlass (Available Through US Marine Parts)
An anchor windlass is available through
US Marine parts. Read the manufac-
turer’s instruction manual, before using
the anchor windlass for the first time.
•The windlass can be controlled from a
switch at the helm or from the deck
foot switches.
•Verify that the windlass breaker is
activated before using the anchor
windlass.
•To haul the anchor, use engine power
(not the windlass) to move the boat to,
and directly above, the anchor. Acti-
vate the windlass to disengage the
anchor from the bottom by pulling it
straight up.
CAUTION!
PRODUCT OR PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD!
When lifting any boat always use a spreader bar. The spreader bar must be equal to the width
of the boat at the lifting point. Always secure the slings to one another to prevent the forward
sling from sliding up along the forefoot of the boat.

Electrical System
Thoroughly read and understand this section and the electrical sections of the owner’s manual and all accessory man-
uals included in your boat owner’s packet. Electrical routing drawings are provided in Chapter 3 of this supplement,
wiring schematics in Chapter 4.
EXTREME FIRE, SHOCK & EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• To minimize the risks of fire and explosion, NEVER install knife switches or other arcing
devices in the fuel compartments.
• NEVER substitute automotive parts for marine parts. Electrical, ignition and fuel system
parts were designed and manufactured to comply with rules and regulations that minimize
risks of fire and explosion.
• DO NOT modify the electrical systems or relevant drawings.
• Only qualified personnel should install batteries and/or perform electrical system
maintenance.
• Insure that all battery switches are turned OFF before performing any work in the engine
spaces.
DANGER!
!
FIRE, OPEN FLAME & EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Fuel fumes are heavier than air and will collect in the bilge areas where they can be acci-
dently ignited. Visually and by smell (sniff test), check the engine and fuel compartments for
fumes or accumulation of fuel. ALWAYS operate the bilge blowers for at least four minutes
prior to engine starting, electrical system maintenance or activation of electrical devices.
• Minimize the danger of fire and explosion by not exposing batteries to open flame or sparks.
It is also important that no one smoke anywhere near the batteries.
WARNING!
!
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD! NEVER disconnect the
battery cables while the engine is running since it can cause damage to your boat’s
electrical system components.
CAUTION!
!
Electrical connections are prone to corrosion. To reduce corrosion caused electrical problems,
keep all electrical connections clean and apply a spray-on protectant that is designed to protect
connections from corrosion.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Since the batteries on your boat were dealer-installed, the battery switch positions listed above
may vary. Make sure you’ve had a full explanation of battery switch operation from your sell-
ing dealer.

Ciera 2655 Sunbridge •Owner’s Manual Supplement
12 Volt DC System
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The engine is protected by a large
circuit breaker located on the engine.
The accessories are protected by cir-
cuit breakers on the battery switch
panel and by the accessory circuit
breakers located below the steering
wheel. Wires are color-coded to indi-
cate which accessory each circuit
breaker services. Some items, such as
radios and bilge pumps, may be
fused individually at the unit. Auto-
float switches are fused at the battery.
Batteries
The batteries supply electricity for
lights, accessories and engine starting.
The electrical section of Chapter 8, in
theOwner’s Manual, provides battery
care and maintenance instructions.
Battery Switch
The battery switch (located behind
the helm seat in the storage area) has
four (4) positions (see upper photo-
graph on right);
•Position 1 - Battery 1 provides
power for engine starting and accessories. Battery 1 (only) will be charged by the engine alternator when the
engine is running at high idle or faster.
•Position 2 - Battery 2 provides power for engine starting and accessories. Battery 2 (only) will be charged by
the engine alternator when the engine is running at high idle or faster.
•Position "BOTH" - If batteries are low, provides power for engine starting from both batteries. The BOTH posi-
tion also allows the charging of both batteries by the engine alternator when the engine is running at high idle or
faster.
•The battery switch should be switched to the OFF position whenever the boat is left unoccupied for long periods
of time.

WATER HEATER DAMAGE HAZARD! DO NOT energize the AC water
heater electrical circuit until the heater is completely filled with water. Even
momentary operation in a dry tank will damage the heating elements. War-
ranty replacements will not be made on elements or tank damaged in this
manner. The tank is full if water flows from the tap when the hot water is
turned on in the galley.
FIRE, EXPLOSION & SHOCK HAZARD!
• DO NOT alter shore power connectors and use only compatible connectors.
• Before connecting or disconnecting the shore power cord to your boat, verify all breakers
and switches on the AC master panel are turned OFF.
• To prevent shock or injury from an accidental dropping of the “hot”cord into the water,
ALWAYS attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first; then to thedockside connection.
When disconnecting from shore power, disconnect the shore power cord from the dockside
connection first.
• NEVER leave a shore power cord connected to the dockside connection only.
• Only use shore power cords approved for marine use. NEVER use ordinary indoor or out-
door extension cords that are not rated for marine use.
DANGER!
!

12 Chapter 2: Features & Systems
Ciera 2655 Sunbridge •Owner’s Manual Supplement
Connecting to Shore Power
1. Monitor the AC panel’s polarity indicator lights (next to the line 1 and line 2 master breakers) as follows:
• A GREEN light illuminating after the power cord is plugged into the boats external power receptacle indi-
cates acceptable electrical power in which you may energize the main breaker switches.
• A RED light, however, indicates reversed polarity, which could cause electrical system damage and possibly
electrical shock injuries. In this case, DO NOT energize the main breaker switches (see warning below).
2. Activate the AC system by turning the main ship/shore breaker to the “DOCKSIDE”position.
3. Turn ON the master breakers and individual component breakers as required.
Audio Equipment
The audio equipment installed on your boat has separate manuals (included in your boat’s owner’s packet) that
explains its operating procedures in detail.
FIRE, SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• NEVER connect dockside power to your boat outside North America unless you have pur-
chased the international electrical conversion option.
• The simultaneous use of several AC components can result in an overloaded circuit. It may
be necessary to turn off one or more accessories in order to use another accessory.
• Use double insulated or three-wire protected electrical appliances whenever possible.
• Periodically check the shore power cord(s) for deterioration or damage. Damaged or faulty
cords should NEVER be used since the danger of fire and electrical shock exists.
• DO NOT pinch shore power cords in doors or hatches, or coil the shore power cord too
tightly since these situations can generate enough heat to result in a fire.
• If a shore power cord should accidently become immersed in water, THOROUGHLY dry
the blades and contact slots before reusing.
CAUTION!
!
NOTICE
Some dockside installations may be rated less than 30 amps, therefore, you may need to pur-
chase lower amp adapters. Whenever a lower amp adapter is used, however, there will be a
corresponding drop in supplied power from the dockside system.
SHOCK & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
• Monitor the polarity indicator lights EVERY TIME you connect to shore power.
• When connecting to shore power and you encounter a reversed polarity light (RED col-
ored), DO NOT energize the main breaker switches. Instead, IMMEDIATELY disconnect
the shore power cord (ALWAYS from the dockside receptacle first) and notify marina
management.
WARNING!
!
The voltage on each line can be read by setting the voltmeter selector switch.
NOTICE
NOTICE
AM radio reception may be impaired in areas where reception is limited or anytime the engine
is running.
