Stern Lift Davit
Concept
This is a very compact power davit Dto lift small watercraft
aboard onto the swim platform for easy launching and
retrieval. Maximum allowable weight is 770 pounds.
The davit is hydraulically deployed as shown here by means of
a hand-held remote control A. Icons on the face of the control
show which button achieves which motion. The davit unfolds
clockwise and the fully extended boom G will reach over the
swim platform to the center of a small tender or ski boat.
When unit is not in use turn off the NEGATIVE ISOLATION switch H
(opposite page) on the DC panel to prevent accidents.
Usage
Anyone using the davit must be fully briefed – read the
owner’s manual it comes with. Powerful hydraulics like this
are not toys – and are out-of-bounds for children.
Put on the HIGH LOAD ISOLATION Hand PASSERELLE / CRANE J
switches (opposite page) before using the crane. Circuit
breakers 72 & 90 in the DC cabinet in the lazarette will trip
if a problem develops.
The electro-hydraulic power unit D(opposite) is beside
the steering gear in the aft lazarette (or optional crew
cabin).
There is an emergency hand pump F (opposite) beside
the main pump unit to stow the davit away, if required.
Cautions
When unfolding the stern lift Goperate the remote from
safely behind (ie., fwd of the davit). Keep the back deck
clear of people until it is extended.
When retrieving or launching the tender ensure that the
lifting cable is properly attached to the davit. The tender
must be empty. Do not lift it higher than necessary and
watch for it swinging if a wake should move the vessel.
Have crew on the swim platform to assist placing the tender
onto the chocks. Cover the tender to keep out water. Lash it
down so no movement is possible. When stowing the davit into
the compartment crew should be clear of the afterdeck.
The CRANE switch J(opposite) should always be OFF unless
the davit is in use.

Maximum capacity is 770 lbs. Make up a set of cables and
/ or a robust harness to easily and securely lift your tender.

Windshield Defogger
This optional device K(also called a demister) blows
hot air onto the inside of the windshield(s) to clear
mist or fogging.
The blown air is heated using the vessel’s hot water
supply, augmented by a 24V pump Lwhich increases
water flow through the internal heat exchanger, thus
increasing heating capacity.
When activated by switch M, the unit blows hot air
through pipes onto the windshield.
Hot water passing through the unit returns through
a one-way valve to the hot water tank.
The unit is installed underneath the top of the con-
sole. Two 19 mm heater hoses are connected to it
for supply and return. The unit sits in a sealed box,
which collects condensate which is then drained
down into the grey water box.
A fitting at the highest point of the return hose is for
bleeding the system if necessary. The bled discharge
also goes into the grey water box.
Salon Helm switch Mis the window demist ON switch.
It starts a fan that, after a 5 second delay, blows hot
air onto the windshields to clear condensation.

Opacmare Hydraulic Power Pack
The hydraulic pump and valving for the aft deck davit
are in the lazarette at starboard. The hydraulic pump
is actually inside the hydraulic fluid tank
An electric motor is mounted on the hydraulic units,
and solenoid valves control all the functions of the
crane. Maintenance requirements comprise mainly
checking fluid level regularly and avoiding overuse
– the system is designed and rated for 4 minutes
continuous use. Intermittent, discontinuous use, is
its proper application
See the Opacmare owner’s manual for information
on topping up the hydraulic tank. Also refer to the
manual for troubleshooting advice and how to use
the emergency hand pump Fto move the crane
back into the stored position if normal controls fail.
Oil to be used is Shell Tellus T46 or Esso Invarol 46.
The main crane breaker #74 (24V 50A) is in the
Aux supply located inside the DC distribution cabi-
net in the lazarette. Control breaker #25 is on the
secondary breaker panel under the clear panel on
the Salon helm.

Central Vacuum System
Viking Sport Cruisers install central vac in all their vessels
(photo right). On the 65FY it is installed under hatch #5.
The Nu-Tech Max-Vac model MV-603 central vacuum sys-
tem is 120 VAC and draws 11 amps when running. The
circuit breaker is on the 120 volt
breaker panel.
The vacuum hose incorporates a
low voltage contactor switch that
automatically starts the motor
when the hose is plugged into a
wall inlet port.
For troubleshooting see the Max-Vac instructions.
Use only the vacuum tools and hose provided.
If interrupted in your vacuuming, unplug the hose from
the wall to switch it off. If left unattended, the powerful
suction force could pick up unwanted objects or pose a
hazard for children and pets.
Filter bag replacement
The disposable filter bag is replaced by accessing the power
unit by lifting the floor panel (hatch #5) it is under. The
unit must be OFF (hose removed from the wall inlet).
Unscrew the nut on top of the door. Underneath you will
see the filter bag F. Remove it by sliding the card portion
of the bag back and forth off the inlet tube. Pull the bag
out of the compartment and dispose of it in the trash.
Before installing a new bag inspect the Secondary Filter
for heavy dust accumulation. It should be removed and
cleaned periodically for best efficiency as instructed on
the label on inside the door.
To install bag: spread out the bag inside the compartment,
then slide the card over the inlet tube at least one inch.
Replace the door and screw the nut down.
DO NOT operate the vacuum with the door off, or without
a filter bag in place. It could overheat and dust could enter
the motor and damage it.
Spare bags are available from:
1-800-724-9757
Ask for: Bag #MV0014 for model MV-603.
Type K bags, which are available from department and
vacuum supply stores, also fit.
Central vac installation
The filter bag is clearly visible when the top of the unit
is removed. When removing a full bag, be careful not
to squeeze it – it will expel a cloud of dust!
Wall inlet port (typical)
These are at strategic points throughout the vessel. As long
as the panel breaker is on, the system activates on plug-in.
Central vac installation
The unit is installed on a bulkhead under hatch #5.
