Fuel transfer
- Valves in engine room — open the supply valve from the tank you want to empty
- The valve to the CTR tank on the return manifold is always open — you can check it
- Turn on the fuel transfer pump — CZone
Air conditioning (a power hog)
- Never run with the watermaker running unless the genset is ON
- Turn on the breakers desired
- Turn on the main switch by the companionway
- Turn on room by room as desired
- Turn off when not needed
Genset — startup
- Turn on — Start button by CZone
- Wait 4–5 minutes (set a timer for warm-up) — look for at least 65 °C temp
- Easy View 5 — press button — Genset 29 amps
- Verify amps are outputting to the 48 V batteries
Genset — shutdown
- Easy View 5 — press button, Genset 3 amps
- Cool down — wait 3–4 minutes — look for temp to drop to 73 °C or below
- Press STOP on the panel by CZone
Waste tanks
When over 40% or full, dump carefully so the pump does not run dry — running dry causes pump failure. It only takes a few seconds to dump.
- Turn on the pump — CZone
- On B&G / CZone screen, monitor amps on the pump
- When FWD amps drop below 6 — tank is empty — turn pump OFF
- When AFT amps drop below 4.5 — tank is empty — turn pump OFF
Engine — Yanmar
- Startup: in neutral, let her warm up 5+ minutes at 1100 rpm
- Shutdown: cool down at low rpm (~900–1000) for at least 5 minutes — set a timer
Stopping the shaft while sailing (feathers the Bruntons Autoprop)
- When you turn the engine off, immediately gently pull it into reverse
- If reverse does not work, try gently forward with engine off
- Alternative: with the motor on and in forward, slowly bring rpm below 1000, then stop the engine with the gear engaged — the prop will feather
- To get back to neutral, you may have to bump the Yanmar starter to free the gear shift
Autoprop note: with the gearbox locked the prop feathers, but if left in neutral it can un-feather over time. Keep it in gear (whichever direction locks the shaft) while sailing.
