SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Safety should be paramount in your daily cruising. A MAN OVERBOARD DRILL should be discussed and
perhaps even practiced. Take time to inspect the life jacket sand adjust the fit for each member of your party.
Always wear life preservers in the dingy and make sure that young children always wear a life jacket when out of
the cabin. The dingy operator should wear on his wrist the red lanyard that is connected to the automatic engine
shut off. Remember to take the portable VHF radio with you.
LIFE PRESERVERS are located in the white dock box on the boat deck. There are 8 Type II, 1 each youth and
child life jackets, 2 suspender type and 2 belt type.
LIFE SLING is suspended on the rear railing of the fly bridge
FLARES are located in the starboard cupboard in the stairway to the aft stateroom
EMERGENCY SPOTIGHT is located in the starboard cupboard in the stairway to the aft stateroom
FIRST AID KIT is located in the starboard cupboard in the stairway to the aft stateroom
WOODEN THROUGH HULL PLUGS are located in the starboard cupboard in the stairway to the aft stateroom
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS are located in multiple locations: under salon table, in the aft cabin hanging locker, in
the forward cabin hanging lock and two in the engine room. One of the engine room extinguishers is automatic.
To manually activate, pull the pin and knob located below the aft seat in the salon.
AIR HORNS are located in the dinghy bag and in the cubby on starboard side of aft stairway
PORTABLE WATERPROOF VHF RADIO is located in its dock on starboard side of aft stateroom
BOAT OPERATION
Introduction
Please familiarize yourself with the instruction manuals for all the equipment on the boat. All manuals
are stored in the roll out locker beneath the lower helm seat. Most of the manuals are in two three ring
binders on the lower shelf. An index to these manuals is located in a blue folder at the top of the roll out
locker and also at the end of this Manual. Larger manuals, i.e., engine, transmission, waterrmaker,
electronic navigation equipment, etc., are stored separately in the top shelf of the roll out locker.
Paper navigation charts covering the San Juan Islands, Puget Sound and British Columbia are stored in
the forward cabin in the racks above the beds and are in numerical order. After using a chart please
replace it in the correct order in the rack. A list of these charts is in front of the filed charts and also at
the end of this manual. Please review this list prior to departure to ensure that your intended cruising
area is covered. In addition, a waterproof chart of the San Juan Islands (number 43 which includes a
number of the most popular charts for the area) is stored in the ceiling rail in the salon. Alaskan charts
are located in the cupboard on the port side of the master berth. There is a parallel ruler navigation kit
in the drawer under the helm seat and a second on in the cupboard on the port side of the master berth
with the Alaska Charts.

The boat’s USCG Documentation and Washington Registration papers are in the pull out drawer
beneath the microwave.
Engine Inspection
Remember your “WOBBS” every morning: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Pump-out), Belts
and Sea Strainer.
•Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion tank located above the forward part of the
engine. Fill to Cool Level Mark on expansion tank if necessary. Coolant must be 50/50 mix
(coolant & water). Coolant is stored in the engine room in the cubby opposite the door.
•Check the level of OIL in the engine by checking the dipstick located on the port side of the
engine. Check the transmission oil using the white dipstick behind the transmission front
housing. Look at the etch marks on each dipstick that indicate the proper oil level.
•DO NOT OVERFILL OIL!
Only fill if oil levels are below the ½ way mark. Please use a paper towel or oil rag, not the
dishtowels! Note the engine and the generator take Delo 400 15-40 wt and the transmission takes
Delo 400 30 wt. Extra oil is stored in the lazzarette. DO NOT USE MULTI-VISCOSITY OIL
THE TRANSMISSION OR 30 WIEGHT IN THE ENGINE OR THE GENERATOR.
•Inspect all bilges and pump-out if necessary
•Check the general condition of the BELTS, HOSES, and FUEL LINES.
•Ensure the valve on each RAW WATER THRU-HULL is in the ‘open’ position (lever in- line
with valve). Periodically check the raw water strainers: close the seacock, open the strainer
cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble. Remember to reopen the seacock. Check your
generator fluids as well.
Start-Up
•Before starting the engine, do your inspection. The engine should be started from the lower helm
station. A full set of engine alarm indicators is located above the lower helm and on the
flybridge
panel.
•Ensure GEARSHIFT is in ‘neutral’. BE ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE WILL START IN
FORWARD OR REVERSE GEAR. PLEASE AVOID DOING THIS AS IT IS
HARMFUL TO THE ENGINE!! THROTTLE should be run up and down and then brought
almost back to the idle position. Insert the key into the IGNITION SWITCH.
•Turn the key fully CLOCKWISE and the ENGINE DIAL PANEL above the helm will activate.
Press the BLACK STARTBUTON and release when you hear the engine start.

9
•A prolonged engine warm-up is not necessary. Even when the engine is cold, a period 0f 2-3
minutes at 1200 RPM before engaging the engine is adequate. You can stow lines and cords
during this time.
•Observe the readings of the engine gauges. At normal operating RPM, the oil pressure will
register approximately 40-50 PSI. The engine temperature should rise slowly. Normal
operating temperature is approximately 175 degrees Fahrenheit. At idle, engine should register
~700 RPM.

Things to Watch: for
•If the engine cranks slowly or fails to turn over, check the condition of the start battery using
the voltmeter on the engine-monitoring panel above the lower helm (the engine ignition switch
must be in the ON position). If the engine fails to start and the battery voltage is low, move the
toggle switch on the Xantrex Pathfinder battery combiner (located to the left of the auto pilot) to
manual. With the manual light on, the Pathfinder combines battery banks so you can start the
engine from the house bank if the starting battery goes south. You can also run the generator to
charge the batteries.
Note: It is unlikely that you will experience problems with the Aquarius batteries if you
are reasonably conservative with your power consumption. All Aquarius batteries are new
(2010) Lifeline AGM sealed batteries.

10
•If the oil pressure is low, shut the engine down and inspect engine compartment looking for
possible cause (e.g., loss of oil).
•If the engine is overheating or there is a lack of raw water expelled in the engine exhaust, stop
the engine immediately. Recheck the raw water-cooling system to ensure the seacock is
OPEN (handle in-line with valve). Next, check the raw water strainer for debris. Close the
seacock, remove the strainer, clean, re-assemble, and reopen the seacock. Restart the engine and
recheck water flow from the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the raw water pump
may need to be serviced. Seek help. There is an audible alarm that will sound if inadequate raw
water is flowing. Normal engine coolant operating temperature is 180 – 202 F.
Shift only when in idle!
Shut-Down
Before shutting down, allow the engine to ‘idle’ for about 5 minutes to cool it gradually and uniformly.
The time engaged in preparing to dock the boat is usually sufficient. Ensure the
GEARSHIFT is in the
‘neutral’ position and the
THROTTLE is in the ‘idle’ position. Turn off engine by pressing the RED
OFF BUTTON at either helm until you hear the engine stop. Turn key fully COUNTERCLOCKWISE
to the off position and remove key.
Getting Underway
DISCONNECT the shore power cord. Close the PORTHOLES and WINDOWS tightly, and lower and
secure the FORWARD HATCH. Turn on your VHF and electronics. Test the BOW THRUSTER switch to
make sure it is working. ASSIGN crew members their various positions.
Once outside the marina, idle the
engines while the crew brings in fenders and lines.
Cruising
All close quarters maneuvering should always take place at the flybridge helm for maximum visibility
around boat.
Engage the GEARSHIFT. Ensure the THROTTLE is in the ‘idle’ position before engaging the gearshift
to avoid transmission damage. We ask you not to run the engine at more than 1900 RPM. The best
compromise between cruising speed and fuel economy is between 1400-1800 RPM. At 1800 RPM we
have achieved a comfortable cruising speed of 8 knots using 4.0 gallons of diesel per hour. Higher
RPMs will marginally increase cruise speed with a significantly higher fuel burn rate. Your speed will
vary depending upon the weight and load, weather conditions and, especially, current.
Note—Avoid higher engine speeds as it causes higher engine temperature, possible damage, and higher
fuel consumption

11
Check Engine Room every two hours.
Check the engine room every two hours or so to ensure that everything is working and nothing is amiss.
Docking (you can never go too slow in a marina or when docking)
During docking, use the FLYBRIDGE HELM for greater visibility to the stern. Have your crew make
ready the lines and fenders and give clear instructions on how you will be docking. Occasionally during
s starboard side docking your crew will need to step off from the swim step with the stern line. Another
crewmember will need to be at the bow or mid-ships to hand over the next lines.
Aquarius is equipped with a BOW THRUSTER that can be a tremendous aid to docking
and close
quarter maneuvering. Make sure the Thruster breaker on the electrical panel is on. To ACTIVATE
thruster both ON BUTTONS must be pressed simultaneously at either helm. A light will indicate
that they are activated. If not used, the thruster will deactivate after a couple of minutes and must be
REACTIVATED by pressing the ON buttons.
The bow will move in the direction the joystick is
toggled.
The Bow Thruster draws huge currents and generates significant heat. An internal thermal cutoff
switch prevents the motor from burning out but you should avoid ever getting near that point. Use
the thruster in short bursts of a few seconds with longer off periods in between. Primary control
comes from the transmission, throttle and rudder. The thruster is not a substitute for the use of these
tools.
Fueling Up
Aquarius is equipped with two 300 gallon fuel tanks located port and starboard amidships. The fuel cap
for the port tank is located forward of the port salon door; the fuel cap for the starboard is located astern
of the starboard helm door.
The engine operates on MARINE DIESEL. CHECK and RECHECK that the correct fluid is
going
into the correct tank.
Before pumping, have an oil/fuel sorbs handy to soak up spilled fuel. You should have a rough idea of
the number of gallons you will need by the viewing the tank monitor behind the lower helm wheel
and/or the fuel sight gauges in the engine room. The tank monitor is on the starboard side of the lower
helm to the left of the throttle. It monitors both water and fuel. The tank monitor is set up to monitor
each fuel tank (port or starboard) but the tanks are linked so the level shown should be the same
regardless. To monitor fuel, turn the right hand dial to 3.5 or 4.5. There are also 2 fuel site tubes in the
engine room. (To check the water level, dial 5.5. A full water tank will show as ½ on the gauge.)
Place the DIESEL nozzle into the tank opening, pump slowly and evenly, and note the sound of the fuel
flow. Pumping too fast may not allow enough time for air to escape, which may result in spouting from
the tank opening. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. Pay attention to the TANK

12
OVERFLOW VENT on the outside of the hull near the tank opening. The sound may indicate that the
tank is nearly full. Top off carefully, and be prepared to catch spilled fuel. Spillage may result in a
nasty fine from law enforcement.
Replace each tank cap; do not over tighten. Turn on blower before starting engines.
Caution—Clean up splatter and spillage immediatelyfor environmental and health reasons. Wash
hands with soap and water thoroughly.
Fuel Polishing System
There is an ESI fuel polishing system in the engine room. After adding fuel, run the fuel polisher. Turn
on switch at DC panel. Set timer at fuel polisher in Engine Room. You must be on the generator or,
preferably, shore power. Polish one tank of fuel at a time by adjusting the Parker Ball Valves above the
unit so that fuel is only coming from one tank at a time. Turn the timer to 2 hours. When done, repeat
the process with the other tank. The system will turn off automatically when finished. Turn off switch
at DC panel. This is desirable but not mandatory unless you feel you’ve picked up some dirty fuel.
Trolling Valve
Aquarius is equipped with a trolling valve located at the lower helm to the right of the wheel. It is a
“pull out” type. It should not be necessary to use this valve unless you are trolling for salmon.
To activate the valve, slow the boat to idle, put the gearshift in neutral, and gently pull out the valve.
The further the valve is extended, the slower the speed. DO NOT EXCEED 1100 RPM WHILE
THE TROLLING VALVE IS EXTENDED. Serious damage to the transmission could occur.
BOAT ELECTRICAL
The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 110-volt AC and 12-volt DC.
The systems are controlled from the AC ELECTRICAL PANEL, the DC ELECTRICAL PANEL, and
the BATTERY SWITCHES which are all found in the GLASS DOOR CABINET on the side of the
lower helm.
A Wiring and Plumbing System Schematics is located in the pull out drawer under the microwave.
AC power is delivered by shore power, the generator or the inverter. DC power comes either from the
batteries or the AC system via the chargers. A Xantrex remote inverter monitoring panel located at the
lower helm provides additional information on the electrical status of the boat. Monitor the use of
onboard electricity carefully and turn off electrical devices that are not needed.
Electrical breakers have been accurately labeled. The Red light indicates that they are on.
110-Volt AC System
SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the battery chargers.
There are two 50’ 30A shore power cords aboard – one in the long locker in the cockpit and one in the
middle seat locker, port side flybridge.

13
To connect to shore power, plug the 30 amp cord into the dock receptacle. Check the power rating/plug
size of the nearest dock receptacle (that is 30 amps, 20 amps, or 15 amps). If necessary, add a CORD
ADAPTER located in the small outside fold down locker forward of the freezer. Turn the dock power
on. At the ELECTRICAL PANEL, flip the SHORE CIRCUIT BREAKER on. Check for reverse
polarity. Then turn on appropriate breakers for battery charger, refrigeration, water heater, and
microwave, etc. Watch your volt meter for load. If the load exceeds voltage, you will pop your breaker.
If this
occurs, wait to turn on one of your systems (i.e. water heater) until your use of volts drop.
If your outlets fail to work, check your GFIs to make sure that they have not been tripped.
When disconnecting from shore power, turn off the dock receptacle before disengaging the power
cord. Leave the power cord connected to the boat at 30 Amp receptacles.
Inverter Power
The INVERTER provides AC power to the 110-volt receptacle plugs (i.e. the microwave oven) when the
boat is disconnected from shore power. The inverter does not provide power to the water heater or the
battery charger. Your inverter panel is located at the helm station with an on/off switch. Make certain
that it is on. The actual inverter is located in the engine room.
The inverter’s power source is the DC house or inverter batteries located in the engine room. The
quantity of DC power is limited to the capacity of these batteries. Therefore, running hair dryers,
toaster,
coffeepots, space heater, etc. and will quickly discharge the house/inverter batteries. It is best if
you need to run the big appliance that you turn on the generator.
When connected to shore power, the inverter automatically becomes a battery charger for the 12-volt
HOUSE BATTERIES. Should you detect the inverter failing to charge the house batteries, check the
circuit breaker in the AC Panel. And the inverter control panel. Also, there is a circuit breaker located
on top of the inverter box.
Generator
To start the GENERATOR, first check that your generator’s fluids are topped off and the raw water
intake is open. The generator controls are located at the lower helm. First pre-heat the generator by
pushing the top switch down for about 20 seconds. Then while still pre-heating lift the start switch. Hold
both switches in that position while the generator catches (about 5-10 seconds). Make sure water and
exhaust is exiting the port side stern.
After generator is running, change your AC distribution switch to generator. Then turn on AC systems
as you would on shore power one system at a time.
To turn the generator off, first take off the load by turning off AC breakers. Then turn off main AC
distributionswitch. Let the generator run without a load for about 2-3 minutes to cool down. Lastly kill
the generator by switching generator switch to “off” until it dies.
House(12-volt) System

14
Four battery banks support 12-volt DC power: 1) Main engine battery (1 8D); 2) Generator start battery
(1 4D); 3 ) house battery bank (2 8D); and 4) Bow thruster (1 8D).
Your 12 volt panel shows all the systems supported by your batteries. Primarily you will be turning on
the breakers for your lights, water pressure, electronics, etc. The one exception is the DC switch for the
Fresh Water Wash Down. This switch is located at the lower right of the AC panel. Bilge pumps
should always be left on (Auto) and are on a separate panel under the main 12 volt panel.
House Battery Bank & Switch
The HOUSE BATTERY BANK provides power for all DC systems, except the engines and automatic
bilge pumps. When disconnected from shore power, all 12-volt devices drain the house battery. Use
devices as needed.
The Xantrex PathMaker is a battery combiner that automatically connects 2 or three battery banks for
simultaneously charging and isolates them during discharge.
When a battery bank is being charged, the voltage will read from about 13.1 volts to 14.4 volts
depending upon state-of-charge of the battery bank. When the battery bank is at rest, (that is, not being
charged), the voltmeter can give a rough indication of the state-of-charge of the battery bank.
All batteries are charged by the engine ALTERNATOR while underway. The engine/house batteries are
charged by the BATTERY CHARGER when connected to shore power. Ensure the Battery Charger and
Inverter circuit breakers at the electrical panel are ON. The GENERATOR will also charge the batteries
as long as the Battery charger and inverter breakers are on.
Battery turn off switches are locate below and to the right of the lower wheel behind a teak and glass
door.
SANITATION SYSTEM
Marine Toilet
The sanitation HOLDING TANK holds 60 gallons. There is a Tank Watch warning panel located below
the engine controls at the lower helm on the right but do not rely solely on it. Sixty to eighty flushes
means you’re getting close to needing a pump-out.
The vessel is equipped with two fresh water electric marine Tecma toilets. Each toilet has an adjacent
control panel with two buttons. The button on the left is labeled “BEFORE USE”; the button on the
right is labeled “AFTER USE”. To conserve water, the following procedures are highly recommended.
For urination, simply use the toilet and then press the “AFTER USE” button. For solid human waste,
first press the “BEFORE USE” button to pre-fill the bowl. When you are done, press the “AFTER USE”
button. A few seconds after the flush a macerator pump will move the effluent to the holding tank.

15
To recap:
•For #1, “AFTER USE” button ONLY.
•For #2, “BEFORE USE” button first; “AFTER USE” button when mission accomplished.
It is important that every member of the crew be informed on the proper use of the MARINE TOILET.
The valves, openings, and pumps are small and may clog easily. If the toilet clogs, it is YOUR
RESONSIBILITY!
Always pump the head for children, so you can make sure nothing foreign is being flushed.
Caution– Never put paper towels, tampons, Kleenex, sanitary napkins, household toilet paper, or food
into the marine toilet. Use only the special dissolving marine toilet tissue provided by AYC.
The TOILET THRU-HULL is located under the forward cabin’s sole. The valves are set up so that the
toilets discharge ONLY INTO THE HOLDING TANK. Do not change any of the Y-valves.
Holding Tank
The sanitation HOLDING TANK holds approximately 60 gallons. Be aware of the rate of waste
production (about 1 gallon per flush). With an overfilled tank, it is possible to break a hose, clog a vent,
or burst the tank. The result will be indescribable catastrophe and an EXPENSIVE FIX to you. Empty
the tank EVERY OTHER DAY to avoid this problem. Please check on the local regulations for where
discharging is allowed (this is your responsibility). No discharge is allowed in US waters and only in
certain areas in Canada. Manage the holding tank capacity by using shore facilities whenever possible
and by monitoring the level of the tank.
The HOLDING TANK is located under the sole in the forward stateroom. There is a Tank Watch holding
tank indicator with four indicator lights (“Empty”, “Low”, “Mid”, and “Full”) located at the main lower
helm station, but do not rely totally upon these as they often get clogged. When the “Mid” indicator
light comes on, you should pump out as soon as possible. You should never see the “Full” indicator
light! If you do, the tank is truly full. Do NOT flush even once.
The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways:
#1 At the Marine Pump-Out Station, remove the WASTE CAP located Starboard side, forward of
sliding door. Insert the pump-out nozzle into the waste opening. Double-check your deck fitting! You
may need an ADAPTER for some pump out setups. There are two ADAPTERS and a screw on
extension in a clear plastic box located in the engine room by the large toolbox. READ THE
“INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PUMP OUT ADAPTERS” below and located in the box with the
adapters. Turn on pump and open valve located on handle. When pumping is finished, close lever on
handle and turn off pump. Remove from deck fitting.
Thoroughly clean, dry and restore adapter(s).

16
If there is a fresh water hose on the dock, rinse the tank by adding 2 minutes of water into tank. Then re-
pump to leave the tank rinsed for the next charter. This also eliminates head odors.
NOTE: THE PUMP OUT NOZZLE IN SOME MARINAS MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE
WITH THE SELENE PUMP OUT FITTING (e.g., ROCHE HARBOR FUEL AND PUMP OUT
DOCK). THEREFORE, IT IS ADVISIBLE TO PUMP OUT THE HOLDING TANK
WHENEVER YOU ARE AT A MARINA WITH A PUMP OUT NOZZLE THAT FITS,
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE TANK LEVEL.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS YOU CAN CONTACT PUMPMEOUT.COM, A MOBILE PUMP OUT
SESRVICE SERVING AROUND SEATTLE, PUGET SOUND AND THE SAN JUANS. 877-766-
7631 OR 425-903-3137.
#2 The tank’s contents can be discharged with the MACERATOR only in Canadian waters and only in
approved discharge zones.
To operate the macerator, turn on the Macerator breaker (bottom left breaker on DC panel). Listen to the
macerator’s sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty. Discharge may be observed on
the starboard
side. It should only take a few minutes to empty the tank. Be careful to not run the pump
dry as it will burn out .
There is a spare macerator stored in the top step leading to the aft cabin.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING PUMP OUT ADAPTORS
Various marinas will have different types of pump out nozzles on the pump out hose. As an example,
there are tapered rubber nozzles, cam-operated couplings, or rubber flange. While some may work on a
Selene without an adaptor (i.e., tapered rubber nozzle) many will not, specifically the rubber flange type
found at the Roche Harbor pump out dock.
We have provided adaptors that will, hopefully, accommodate all nozzles you may find on your trip.
When getting ready to pump out, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the WASTE cap on the starboard side of the boat, forward of the sliding door.
2. Determine the type of nozzle on the pump out hose. If it is the tapered rubber type, it may fit
without an adaptor (Remember YOU NEED a GOOD TIGHT SEAL for the vacuum to work.
3. If the nozzle won’t work, screw the NozAll adaptor (labeled “Adaptor #1) into the deck fitting.
Insert pump out nozzle into NozAll adaptor and begin pumping.

17
4. If the marina has a flange type pump out nozzle, or the NozAll adapter itself won’t work, screw
the NozAll adaptor into the fitting, and fit the rubber end of Adaptor #2 over the NozAll adaptor
and push the rubber end down until there is a tight, secure fit. It may be necessary to coat the
top of the NozAll adaptor with a small amount of lubricant to get it to fit. There is a screw on
extension for Adaptor # 2 that may b e required. Insert the pump out station nozzle over the
white PVC, holding it down to secure a tight seal, and begin pumping. There is also a third
adaptor, consisting of a 1 ½” hose barb, plastic pipe and standard deck fitting. Screw in Hose
barb to deck fitting, place plastic hose over barb, tighten hose clamps.
5. If none of these adaptors work, talk to marina staff to see if they can change or modify their
nozzle.
6. When finished, screw in deck fitting, disengage Adaptor #2, unscrew Adaptor #1, WASH AND
DRY THEM BOTH THOROUGHLY, and then store in plastic box.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS YOU CAN CALL PUMPMEOUT.COM, A MOBILE PUMP OUT SERVICE,
AT 877-786-7631 OR 425-903-3137. THEY SERVE AROUND SEATTLE, PUGET SOUND AND
THE SAN JUANS. SEE REVERSE SIDE FOR INFO.
Y-Valves
The Y-VALVES direct waste effluent into the sanitation-holdingtank or flushes the effluent ‘directly
overboard’. There are two Y-Valves; one in each head. They are set to direct effluent to the holding
tank. Y-valves are usually wire-tied to the holding tank position in respect to Coast Guard regulations.
Please leave it “as is” unless there is an emergency. Be familiar with the applicable laws concerning
dumping sewage directly overboard.
WATER SYSTEM
Fresh Water Tank(s)
The FRESH WATER TANK holds 180 gallons. Observe the water level by checking monitor at lower
helm station (DIAL TO NUMBER 5.5). When the gauge reads slightly over ½ full, the water tank is
full. (Be sure that the “nautical instrument breaker is on). Waste water from the sinks and showers drains
overboard through various thru-hulls usually located under the sinks.
To refill the tank, remove the WATER cap located Starboard side aft in the cockpit area. Avoid flushing
debris from the deck into the tank opening. DO NOT fill water and diesel at the same time!
There is a portable carbon filter located in the stern deck locker. If you wish to filter dock water when
filling the boat water tank, attach the filter between 2 hoses.

18
Fresh Water Pressure Pump
The pump is activated at the DC panel by turning on the breaker. If the water pump continues to run,
you are either out of water or might have an air lock and need to bleed the system by opening up a
faucet. If you run out of water SHUT OFF YOUR HOT WATER HEATER on the AC panel. Serious
damage can occur! The pump is located beneath the forward edge of the master bed.
Hot Water Tank
The HOT WATER HEATER has a 12 gallon capacity tank and is available when connected to shore
power or via a heat exchanger when underway. To use on shore power, flip on the water heater circuit
breaker on the AC electrical panel. Do not use the water heater if the water tank level is very low. The
water heater is located in the engine room port side.
Shower
Before taking a SHOWER, make sure the fresh water pressure breaker is on. Take only very short “boat”
showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing). To keep shower tidy wipe down the shower
stall and floor. Check for accumulation of hair in the shower and sink drains. Ensure that the faucets
and nozzle are completely off after use.
Fresh and Salt Water External Faucets
There is a fresh water faucet located in the port anchor locker. Use this faucet to wash down windows
and anchor. There is a saltwater faucet and a fresh water faucet located in the long storage locker in the
cockpit. The DC breaker for the fresh water wash down pump is located at the bottom right of the
AC breaker panel. Use the fresh water faucets sparingly and always make sure the faucets are
completely closed. The pumps for these faucets are in the engine room outboard of the water heater.
Water Maker
There is a 15 gph water maker in the engine room. It is currently in the “pickled” condition, i.e., not
available for making water. If you plan to be cruising for an extended period of time where you will not
have readily available marina water, please ask your Anacortes Yacht Charter representative to
“unpickle” the water maker, install a new filter and instruct you in the use of the water maker before you
commence your trip. Extra filters are in the lazarette.
GALLEY
Stove/Oven
The stove and oven are propane.
The unit is activated as follows:

19
#1 Turn open the propane tank located in the port locker on the flybridge and check the tank pressure.
There are two propane tanks. Switch to the second tank if the first runs out.
#2 Turn on the solenoid pressure switch which is the left button on the Propane Control System located
above the stove.
#3 Turn on the gas at the stove (Press in knob). You might need to hold knob in for a few seconds while
the thermo coupler warms up. The same applies to lighting the oven.
When finished cooking turn off the left button on the Propane Control System.
Refrigerator
The REFRIGERATOR is dual voltage (12-volt and 110-volt power). It will automatically use 110- volt
power when the shore power is connected; otherwise, it will operate on 12-volt power. Monitor the use
of the refrigerator when the engines are not charging the 12-volt battery system.
Salon Table
The salon table can be extended. Have two people pull from each end and the table will separate and an
insert will automatically pop up. Please use place mats and coasters when using the table. Please do not
place glasses or mugs on the bare wood.
Freezer
There is an 8.8 cf FREEZER mounted on the mid-deck. It is plugged into an external 110 volt source. If
both the freezer and the refrigerator are run overnight when you are not on shore power, it is likely the
house batteries will be low in the morning (indicated by the “yellow ” or “red” lights on the remote
inverter panel located above the lower helm wheel next to the John Deere instrument panel). In this
case it will be necessary to run the generator until the inverter lights return to the “green” position. Since
you will likely be running the coffee maker and/or the microwave/toaster in the morning, you should run
the generator if you are not on shore power. In order to conserve battery power, you can turn the
freezer off overnight by either unplugging it or turning off 110 volt the breaker labeled flybridge outlets
(FB Outlets)
Microwave Toaster Combination
The microwave /toaster is by the port door. The instructions are in the drawer beneath the unit.
Coffee Pot
The Aquarius is equipped with an electric coffee maker. If this should fail, there is a backup melita
coffee cone and filters under the top step of the aft stairway.
Cards, Games & Puzzles
There are some playing cards, games and picture puzzles in the cupboard on the starboard aft wall of
the salon.
Storage

20
In addition to three cupboards above the galley counter and the cupboard on the starboard aft wall of
the salon, additional less obvious storage options are:
1) Under the bowl behind the settee, salon aft
2) Under the first and third step going into the forward cabin
3) Under the third step going into aft cabin
4) Under the helm seat (excellent for wine bottles)
5) Under the settee behind the helm seat. This is inconvenient but very large.
Cooking Crabs
There is a large pot for cooking crabs that is located under the fly bridge. Please do not cook crabs in
the cabin. Use the BBQ on the stern.
It is important to lock the galley drawers. They open very easily and will do so if the boat rolls.
HEATING SYSTEM
The ESPAR DIESEL FORCED-AIR FURNACE located in the engine room provides heat in the same
way as a household furnace. The thermostat and on-off switches are located in the salon area, next to
the slide out locker under the front helm seat.
CheckThe furnace EXHAUST PORT located port side below door for any obstruction such as fenders
or lines. Do not block this opening when operating the furnace. Heat will damage fiberglass or rubber.
Once it is on, allow it to run for at least 15 minutes before turning it off. Turn ‘off’ the furnace heater by
turning switch back off.
ELECTRONICS
All electronics manuals are located in the slide out locker under the lower helm seat. “Quick Reference”
cards are in the insert at the end of the “Boat Copy” of the Aquarius Operating Manual. The Raymarine
chartplotter is loaded with two C-Map chart chips that should cover Puget Sound, the
Gulf Islands and most of British Columbia. Additional chart chips (Victoria to Cape St. James and
Southeast Alaska) are located at the top front of the slide out locker beneath the lower helm seat.
The chartplotter on the flybridge is the master for the radar, i.e., turn it on first, and then turn on the
lower helm chartplotter and GPS.
VHF Radio
There are 3 VHF RADIOS. The first is located at the main helm, below the GPS, and the second on the
flybridge. Make sure the VHF breaker is on located at the 12 volt panel. Always monitor channel 16
while underway. The VHF radio call sign is WDC 4095. The third VHF radio is a portable handheld
waterproof model for use in the dingy. It is stored in its charging dock in the Master Stateroom.
