Section 1: Introduction & General Boat Description
1A: About This Manual
1A1: Manual Objective and Limitations
This manual is intended to introduce you to “OceanFlyer”, its systems, and features, allowing
you to operate it with the confidence and self-assurance necessary to enjoy your cruising vacation to its
fullest. It is not intended to replace a basic understanding of seamanship, including navigation skills,
weather interpretation or boat handling. You are expected to have an understanding of these subjects
obtained through other sources, including training, seminars, reading and perhaps most important,
experience.
There is no way that a small manual like this one can answer every question or give you a
solution to every circumstance, foreseen or unforeseen. If you have a question which limits your
understanding or handling of this vessel, ask your NWE checkout skipper or contact the office for
details (you might make a list of questions as you read the manual, saving them all up to ask at one
time).
1A2: How the Manual is Organized
The manual is divided into six sections numbered “1" to “6" plus an index (Section 7). Within
each section are subsections lettered “A” to “Z” as required.
In section 4, which deals with the specific information about the vessel’s equipment and
systems, the manual is organized by major categories, such as “Anchor”, “Dinghy, Davit & Outboard”,
“Fresh Water System”, etc.
Note that within “Electrical Systems” are the “Electrical System-AC ” and “Electrical
System-DC” as sub-categories, and within them are such items that are a part of
each, such as “Inverter”, “Generator”, etc.; Likewise, all electronic equipment is in
the “Electronics” section.
A complete index is at the back of the manual in Section 7.

1B: General Description of this Vessel
1B1: Exterior
Flybridge, Cockpit, Side &
Forward Decks
The Grand Banks 49' Classic is a
traditional yacht design, with fiberglass
hull, cabin, and flybridge structures, a
teak swim step, teak decks, stainless
rails, and gunwale caps, and stainless
steel welded fittings and handrails. Of
particular note are the easy walk-around
decks, enabling safe, secure passage
about the boat by the crew. There is a
roomy cockpit section with ample storage in
the lazarette beneath, and on the side decks
are the two fuel fills, the three water tank fills,
and the two waste pumpout locations.
Forward on the
bow deck is the
anchor windlass with
foot switches
allowing chain
movement both ”up”
and ”down”
electrically. The
anchor is retracted into
the bow pulpit, which
hangs out over the bow
to give good chain
clearance from the hull;
this pulpit is strong and
braced, easily
supporting not only the
anchor during hauling,
but also an attending
crew member if
necessary. After passing
over the winch, the chain goes below decks into the chain locker.
There are shore power connections at the stern and bow with adjacent fuse holders. The shore
power switch in the electric panel selects these. (When this cable is to be disconnected, the switch
should first be turned to the OFF position to avoid arcing, which could damage the plug contacts.) The
boat has both a 30 amp cable(yellow), which you'll use most often, and a 50 amp cable(black). Both
are 50 feet in length.
OceanFlyer, Icy Bay, AK
The roomy aft cockpit...
...has lazarette hatches for
access to commodious storage. A serious windlass and sturdy pulpit! The easy, safe side decks.
Section 1B1: General Description - Exterior 1.2

The aft cabin supports the dinghy on the starboard
side. Tie-down straps hold the dinghy in place. The dinghy
is lifted with an electric hoist from the mast’s boom,
controlled by a plug-in remote control. A barbecue and its
propane tank are by the sundeck’s steps.
Up five steps from the deck is the flybridge, with
seating for crew and passengers in two tandem seats, the
port seating for two or four passengers, the starboard for
four or six; both have storage beneath. Within the storage
compartments you will find life jackets. The dinghy lift
remote control as well as the foot pump to inflate the
dinghy are located under the aft most seat on the
starboard side. Extra lines are stored in the deck box at
the aft of the flybridge, port side.
Forward is a console holding atop it the flybridge electronics
and within it.In addition to instruments and controls, the console has
a sliding door revealing more electronics.
The flybridge console has a full complement of instruments
including navigation, communications, and engine controls.
The dinghy rests atop the sundeck.

Section 1B1: General Description - Exterior 1.3
There is also a large chest freezer
on the port side of the flybridge[not
shown]. This is an AC unit that is
powered through the inverter. To
conserve power you may want to turn the
freezer off overnight when on battery
power only.Turn it back on when the the
generator is running, when your
underway or when connected to shore
power.

1B2: Salon & Helm
Main Deck
The boat is entered by side doors,
port or starboard. These doors are fitted
with deadbolt locks, and in addition have
stainless catches affixed to the cabin
sides to hold them open. The doors
should be closed when underway except
at very low speeds in calm waters to
avoid getting salt water inside the salon
or on the door’s interior sides.
Salon
Forward of the starboard door is
the helm station with electric switch
panels adjacent on the starboard side,
electronics panel above with warning
lights, windshield wiper switches,
autopilot, stabilizer control, VHF, depth
sounder, etc. On the helm is the ship’s
radar and plotter. Aft of the helm is the
helm seat and behind it, a cabinet that
stores the dishes, and an ice maker.
Further aft to starboard in the salon is a large L-settee with a table in front that has leaves
allowing it to easily seat six for meals. In the corner of the settee there is a built-in deepfreeze, and
under its cushions there is more storage.
(Above) Salon looking forward to starboard. (Below) Looking aft.
Section 1B1: General Description - Exterior 1.4

At the aft
end of the settee
to midships, a
cabinet holds the
stereo AM-FM
radio and in its
drawers,
miscellaneous
supplies.
To port aft
in the salon are the companionway to the Master
Stateroom; two barrel chairs (with storage under
the seat cushions), a storage cabinet holding
galley pots and pans with the TV atop it; the
port-side entry door; and the aft side of the
galley cabinets as well a a DVD storage locker
aft.
Galley: Forward of the
port-side salon seating,
storage and tv is the
galley. It has an electric
stove/oven, a large double sink;
another deepfreeze (in the corner
under the windshield), two
refrigerators; and a large microwave.
There is extensive storage
under and over the galley counters. In
addition to the storage and facilities
directly in
the galley
"L", there
are drawers in the helm seat and
pots and pans under the TV. More
storage is in a “pantry” alongside the
forward companionway.
The under-seat cabinets and
Yeti cooler on the flybridge also
can be used for storage if desired,
especially things like soft drinks,
water, canned goods, etc.

1B3: Passenger Accommodations
Both the forward and aft staterooms are
down several steps below the salon. The VIP
Guest cabin, office, and head compartment are
forward, while the Master Stateroom and its
head compartment is aft.
Master Stateroom
The aft (master) stateroom is down a few
steps in the aft end of the salon.
This master stateroom features a queen-sized island berth, beneath
which are drawers including a spacious and efficient chart drawer. To each
side of the berth are tables with drawers beneath, as well as storage lining the
vessel’s exterior walls on each side. A vanity/desk is aft to port beneath the
emergency exit hatch. There is a fire extinguisher in the hanging locker, and a
flashlight and CO detector adjacent to the doorway to the salon.
Forward to port in the aft cabin is a huge hanging locker for clothing.
Master Stateroom Head Compartment
Forward to starboard
in this stateroom is a head
compartment with toilet.
This compartment has
numerous cabinets and
drawers. Across from the
sink cabinet is a stall
shower.
There are switches to
control the heating system fan, the shower
drain and electric head.

Section 1B2: General Description - Interior 1.6

VIP Guest S tateroom
All the way forward, the bow guest
stateroom includes a queen berth. Storage
includes plenty of drawers, cabinets and hanging
locker space for crew clothing. A large overhead
hatch provides plenty of light and ventilation in
this spacious cabin.
When first getting acquainted with the
boat, take the time to put the ladder behind the
door in place so you can see how to use the
overhead hatch as an exit. Also note the fire
extinguisher in its location inside the hanging
locker.
Under this cabin’s sole a hatch accesses
some refrigeration compressors.
Office/Study
On the aft port side of the
forward stateroom is this area with a
desk; this is a convenient spot for
handling your correspondence! And
there is yet another walk-in cedar
storage closet where ship’s spares are
carried (see photo). A hatch in the floor
accesses the forward head’s vacuum
pump.
Bungeed to the escape ladder, a second
helm chair is provided.
Please return it to this spot when done
using it.
Guest Head Compartment
Moving aft from the forward stateroom to port is the
forward head compartment with its own tub\shower, Vacu-flush
head, and a basin with vanity. There are doorways both to the
forward stateroom and to the companionway, allowing this also to
be used as a convenient “day head” for crew when underway.

Section 1B2: General Description - Interior 1.7

1B4: Engine Room
Preferred access to the engine room is through either the floor
hatch by the helm seat in the salon or by going forward and lifting the
stairs at the aft end of the companionway. DC breakers in the ship’s
power panels turn on the engine room lighting. You will find this
engine room to have full stand up height with room to access most of
the systems and equipment.
Note: If you are going to be in the engine room a long
time, use the understair access and leave the hatch
down to prevent someone from falling in!
then the companionway-
engine room door. To right of the door is the Naiad stabilizer
control unit and hydraulic reservoir with level indicator and temperature gauge.
To starboard (right) of the Naiad system is a battery
switch panel with isolator above, and just aft of it, the
clothes dryer.
Starting down the outboard starboard side of the
engine are battery boxes, spare parts boxes, wiring
panels with the Glendinning synchronizer and Whale
manual bilge pump above, then the battery chargers. Aft
just forward of the starboard tank enclosure is the
heating system hot water manifold with its regulating
valves and its water-conditioning unit (like a filter).
Outboard of this manifold is the starboard engine’s
aqua-lift muffler.
On the forward face of the starboard fuel tank is
a control box, and engine room vent blower, and the
built-in fire extinguishing system, and just inboard of the
extinguisher is the tank’s fuel sight gauge with valves at
top and bottom (that should be kept closed when the tank levels are not actually being checked.)
Of course, also to starboard of the engine room centerline is that side’s Caterpillar 3126, 420hp
6-cylinder Diesel Engine. The engine is fitted with a Twin Disc marine transmission.
The drive coupling from the transmissions is connected to an Aqua-Drive universal-joint
vibration control with a thrust bearing affixed to the engine stringers. The aft end of the drive system is
Looking aft. Helm seat is to left in photo.
Stabilizer system, battery
switches (arrow), and dryer.
Along the forward
bulkhead from port to
starboard is the hot water tank
with the Kabola furnace above
it, then the hand washing sink
with the watermaker control
system above it, and fresh
water faucet,
The heating manifold is left with the red & blue main valve
handles; the E/R blower is just to its right; the red fire system is
next; and (red arrow) the starboard tank sight gauge and valves
and propshaft seal lube bottle (blue arrow).
Watermaker control.
Section 1B2: General Description - Engine Rm 1.8
Port Forward E/R, Kabola Furance

connected to the prop shaft and exits through a dripless shaft seal lubricated with ATF fluid from a
small plastic reservoir mounted by the fuel tank sight gauge. This drive system means that engine
vibration can be dramatically reduced from the normal drone of Diesels!
Along the centerline aft of the engine
room is the fuel manifold, with a workbench and
toolboxes atop it, while beneath the workbench
is the Onan 9kW generator. At bilge level, there
are a number of seawater strainers and pumps
and other components which can be identified
with careful examination; charterers are not
expected to have to maintain or repair these
units at any time; contact NWE if assistance is
required.
Further aft of the 9kW Onan generator is
a built-in enclosure for the 20kW large Onan
generator. This is accessible through doors on
the enclosure, but, again, call NWE if service is
required. Between the two generator enclosures
are the oil-charge pump and several sea
strainers, plus the primary oil filter for the smaller
generator. To the right (port) of the large
generator enclosure on the forward side of the
port tank are the generator battery switches, a
battery isolator, the oil change pump power
switch, and the port tank’s sight gauge and the
port shaft seal lubricant (ATF) reservoir, another
engine room blower, and outboard, the other
engine’s muffler.
The port engine has the same shaft and
drive arrangement as starboard. Outboard of the
engine is an aqua-lift muffler/water separator for
the small generator, air-conditioning
compressors, the inverters and a circuit breaker
for the Kabola furnace.
Well outboard on each side of the engine room on a line with the forward end of the engines are
the stabilizer actuators, while just forward of each engine is its dual primary fuel filter with selector
valve. Forward of the port engine is the clothes washer.
Down the center of the bilge flooring in the engine room are the sea strainers for each main
engine and water pumps for the air conditioning and sea water systems.
The fuel manifold is at the aft end of the E/R on the centerline, in front of the
generator.
On the forward face of the port tank is another blower, sight gauge (red
arrow) and seal lube bottle (blue arrow); also the generator & inverter battery
switches and isolators.
Section 1B2: General Description - Engine Rm 1.9
The washer and dryer are also located in the engine room.

1B5: Dinghy
The boat is equipped with a 10 foot-6 inch AB 10VS
tender which is a rigid-hull, inflatable-pontoon boat fitted
with a Honda 20 horsepower four-cycle electric start-
and-tilt outboard motor.
1B6: Deck Equipment
The boat has mooring lines; a stern/shore line 600' long; main anchor with all-chain rode;
Emergency anchor with chain & line rode, fenders/bumpers; a storage cabinet on the forward deck; a
hose for fresh water tank filling and boat washing; and two boat hooks.
1B7: Boarding Ladder & Swim Ladder
The boat has a teak swim step
at its aft end. This step is fitted with
a sturdy, rugged swim ladder. To
lower the ladder (which slides up
and down), slide it up, swing the
retaining lever out of the way, then
lower it carefully. To raise the
ladder, lift it until it is high enough
for the latching posts to clear its
catches, and swing it back under the
posts.
The boat also has a detachable but secure boarding
ladder that latches onto the hull at the railing gate.
See illustration. It stows near the F/B steps.
When the boarding ladder is not attached, boarding is facilitated for limber crew members via the
teak step on the rub rail; you can see it in the “boarding ladder in place” photograph above.
Be sure to remove the boarding ladder before moving the boat or
undocking!
