Control Panel
Yacht control panels are electronic devices for the remote control of one or more pieces
of equipment including windlasses, navigation lights, and thrusters.
These devices can control the windlass, thrusters, navigation lights, alarms,
video surveillance systems, windshield wipers, engines, fuel, water and
oil levels, generators and other equipment.
The control panel is important because:
1. It is responsible for monitoring the health of Yacht
2. Keeping you safe
Its use is described below: The most important and unique to use
are in the LEFT SIDE.

Battery Charger Location
A battery charger or recharger is a device that stores energy in a battery by running
an electric current through it. The Master volt Charge Master supplies a maximum
capacity wherever you are via auto-ranging. Auto-ranging ensures perfect fully
automatic operation anywhere in the world, regardless of the available mains voltage
(90-265 V AC, 50 or 60 Hz).
You will find it left of the chart table and behind of the couch.

Interior / Exterior Radio
Radio works by transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves. The radio signal is
an electronic current moving back and forth very quickly. A transmitter radiates this
field outward via an antenna; a receiver
then picks up the field and translates it to
the sounds heard through the radio.

Σελίδα 6από 25
VHF
A very high frequency (VHF) transceiver is a device that is composed of a transmitter
and receiver that operates between 30 megahertz (MHz) to 300 megahertz (MHz). The
wavelength of a VHF transceiver varies between 39.37 inches (1 m) to 393.70 inches
(10 m), mainly depending on the frequency used.
1. Channel knob / Press to Select Turn knob for channel selection, menu scrolling,
alphanumeric entry, and fine adjustment of backlight level (dependent on active menu).
Short press to make selections in menus. Long press to open MY CHANNELS.
2. VOL / SQL Volume and Squelch level. Short press knob to select which control to
adjust. Which is currently selected is indicated by a small triangular arrow above the

GMDSS
The Dual Energy Power Supplies and Battery Chargers are
designed and developed for charging and maintenance of voltage
on lead-acid batteries and provide consistent and uninterrupted
power supply (main or backup). You will find it at the chart table
area.

General Switches
This battery master switch functions as a battery isolator and a theft deterrent device.
The battery master switch is commonly used in vehicle applications, such as marine,
transportation and automotive. The switch has an impact-resistant housing and has a
detachable key for added security.
Service
You will find the service battery switch in front of the
chart table.
Engine
You will find the main switch that turns off the boat's currents in the stern
left cabin, behind of the door.
Thruster
The switch that turns off the Retractable
Thruster battery power will be found at the
skipper cabin, when you open the cap.

Thermal Fuses
Fuses are mechanisms that are inserted into an electrical circuit in order to interrupt the
supply of electricity throughout the electrical installation or in individual circuits of the
installation, when large current values occur due to short circuit or overload to protect
the wiring lines. Are always installed after the circuit breakers and are never installed
in ground conductors. The use of these fuses is as follows:
Anchor fuse
At the image indicates fuse of the Windlass. In case the fuse has fallen,
you will see the yellow plastic protruding at the position zero (0), with
the use of your hand (fingers) you press the yellow plastic down so that
it reaches at the position one (1). Then does an operation test to find out
if everything is working properly. You will find it under of the chart
table.
Batteries Location
A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy.
The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material
(electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an
electric current that can be used to do work.
Service

Σελίδα 11 από 25
You will find the service batteries on the right side of the
chart table and under the living room cushion.
Engine
You will find the engine battery inside the engine room.
Thruster
You will find the thruster battery at the skipper cabin under
the bed.
Water System
Freshwater pumps deliver water to fixtures onboard a boat. Pressurized water systems
make life aboard more comfortable by providing water "on tap" for dishwashing,
showers and other applications.
Location of fresh water pump

Σελίδα 12 από 25
You will find the fresh water pump at the bow cabin, under
the bed.

Σελίδα 13 από 25
Location bilge pump
A bilge pump is a water pump used to remove bilge water.
You will find it on the floor in front of the stairs. On this yacht
the bilge pump is automatic. So keep the corresponding
button always on.
Operation of toilet pumps
The toilet is one of the most used pieces of equipment on your boat. Correct operation
of the toilet is essential for the safety and comfort of your crew and craft.
Open inlet and outlet seacocks (and secondary
valves if fitted).
Half fill the bowl with warm fresh water.
Keeping the Flush Control Lever in the Shut
( ) position, pump out the warm water.
Normal use
Open inlet and outlet seacocks (and secondary valves if fitted).
Before use, ensure that there is enough water in
the bowl to prevent the toilet paper
becoming compacted at the bottom of the
bowl. If the bowl is empty, move the Flush
Control Lever to the Open ( ) position
and pump the handle up and down until the
flushing pump is primed and water enters the
bowl. Then Shut ( ) the Flush Control.
Operate the pump with long, smooth strokes
for efficient and easy operation.
During use, pump as necessary to keep the
contents of the bowl low enough for comfort.
After use, keep the Flush Control Shut ( ) and pump until the bowl is empty.

Σελίδα 14 από 25
When the bowl is empty, Open ( ) the Flush Control
again, and continue to pump until all waste has either left
the boat, or reached the holding tank (allow 7 complete
up/down strokes per meter (yard) length of discharge
pipework).
NOTE: Do not put in: Sanitary Towels, Wet Strength
Tissues, Cotton Wool, Cigarettes, Matches, Chewing
Gum, or any solid objects, Petrol, Diesel, Oil, Solvents of
any kind or water more than hand hot.
Operation of shower pumps
On this boat the shower pumps at the bow are automatics. The
shower of stern right toilet is manual, you need to turn on and turn
off the black button.
When the pump is fitted with a special negative head kit, the shower
is operated by turning on the mixer valve and starting the pump by
turn on the switch once. The pump will then run as normal, don’t
forget to switch off the shower pump after use.
Operation /Location of Waste tanks/valves
A stop-and-waste valve is a fitting that
attaches to your irrigation sprinkler lines, and
it prevents waste from freezing.
When closed, they go to
waste tank until you open
the valve.
As all valves, when it's vertical to the tube
connected to it, it is closed and the excrement
ends at the waste tanks. When it is parallel to
the tube then it is open and the waste tank
contents are emptied to the sea. You will find
three waste valves, the 1st, and the 2nd are at the
bow side at the hall and the 3nd is at the stern
toilet if you open the cap you will find it.
Oven/Stove
