=== Propeller ===
  
=== Stuffing Box ===
+
3 blade Gori feathering propeller. [[File:Mashnee_gori_prop.pdf|manual and instructions for GORI propeller]] and [[File:GORI_Manual-15-16_5-Overdrive-Shaft-A4-3.pdf |more detailed, updated manual]]
  
* Nearly no leakage from stuffing box as of Nov 2011
+
==== Folding the Propeller====
* Stuffing box adjusted Jun 2012 to allow slow drip during operation
+
Put the gear shift in reverse when the engine is off. This locks the shaft and ensures the propeller folds and does not spin. Then return the lever back into neutral.
  
=== Cutlass Bearing ===
+
==== Normal Ahead ====
 +
If you want to shift from "overdrive" to normal/forward position, the lever will have to be put into neutral when the boat does more than 1 knot ahead until the blades have folded again, then put it in the forward position again.
 +
If the propeller is spinning with the engine in neutral, you must go gently in reverse, while the boat is moving forward. After the propeller has been going in reverse for a few seconds, you can go back to neutral and the propeller will have folded and the shaft stopped. when you back to forward, the propeller will be in normal ahead.
 +
Before leaving the harbor, always check the position of the propeller by means of the boat's tachometer so that the propeller is in the wanted position.
 +
==== Going Astern ====
 +
in the reverse position the blades swing 180 degrees opposite the forward position which ensures the same blade leading edge and profile, resulting in high-efficiency. If the boat has not been used in some time, you should shift cautiously between forward and reversed a few times before sailing in order to clean the teeth of the blades and the gears from fouling.
  
* Less than 1/32" play in cutlass bearing as of May 2012
+
==== Going Ahead in Overdrive ====
 +
The “Overdrive” function is to be used when motoring at a cruising RPM in fair weather or when motorsailing.  Overdrive is a second larger pitch achieved by going forward with the propeller blades in the reverse position.  The second higher pitch acts like 5th gear in a car and likewise can increase speed and efficiency. 
  
=== Propeller ===
+
In order to position the propeller in forward "overdrive" it is necessary to move the boat astern so that the blades are kept in reverse position when the lever is put into forward. Do not try to make the propeller go from forward to "overdrive" position by quick shifts with the lever when the boat is sailing ahead in the water. When in reverse position, the blades have a 20% higher pitch than forward. when you go forward with the propeller in the reverse position, this higher pitch is kept, enabling overdrive.
 +
If you are in standard forward at the higher RPM and want to go into overdrive:
 +
*1. Reduce the engine RPM and put the shift lever into neutral 
 +
*2. Go into reverse
 +
*3. Raise the engine RPM several hundred for a few seconds
 +
*4. Reduce the engine RPM and move the shift lever to forward smartly without hesitation You will now be in overdrive.
 +
If you are in overdrive and want to go into standard forward:
 +
*1. Reduce the engine RPM and put the shift lever into neutral
 +
*2. Bump into reverse for a second which stops the shaft immediately
 +
*3. Wait several seconds (shaft should stop rotating), blades fold closed from forward motion and then shift back into forward
 +
*4. This will give you the standard forward position. By bumping into reverse and leaving the engine in neutral for several seconds you are allowing the shaft to stop rotating and the propeller blades to fold closed (action of water flow over the positively geared blades), then when you go back into forward the blades will open in the standard forward position.
  
* We use 2 zincs for the propshaft (1 1/4”). Last replaced April 2017.
+
Often just after leaving the marina slip you may find that the propeller is in Overdrive. This is due to when backing out of the slip and then shifting the into forward position - while the boat was still moving backwards - the blades will be in the overdrive position. Simply put the shift lever into neutral for a few seconds, make sure the shaft stops turning (bump into reverse for a second) and then back into forward and you will be in the standard forward.  Many Gori customers use overdrive for the vast majority of their motoring, only using standard forward in conditions that require great thrust and high RPM such as to power through heavy seas or quickly maneuver.

== Bilge Pumps ==
 
== Bilge Pumps ==
  
There are two electric bilge pumps and two manual bilge pumps. An electric submersible pump is in the central portion of the bilge well. A diaphragm electric pump is in the cabinet beneath the nav station. Float switches for the two electric pumps are located in the bilge well. The diaphragm pump's float switch is in the deepest part of the bilge; it should energize first and keep the bilge dry. The submersible pump's float switch is forward and higher; it should energize if there is an inch or more water in the bilge.
 
  
The two electric bilge pumps are connected to the House batteries via the always-on "Bilge Pumps" breaker on [[X-Dimension_systems#Circuit_Breaker_Panel_1|breaker panel #1]]. Individual auto-manual-off controls for the electric pumps are located port of the nav station.  Note that the "Bilge Pumps" breaker bypasses the House Battery Switch and the pumps will still operate if the House Battery Switch is off. (See [http://sailing.mit.edu/wikiupload/3/3c/X-dimension_bilge_circuits.pdf X Dimension Bilge Pump Wiring])
 
  
The cockpit manual pump is located on the port bulkhead of the cockpit just forward of the helm.  The high-volume manual pump is located under the floorboards of the hanging locker behind the nav station, and can be operated without removing the floorboards. The handles for the two manual pumps are stored in the hanging locker behind the nav station. The smaller handle fits the pump in the cockpit, and the longer handle the pump behind the nav station. 
 
  
All bilge hoses exit the boat starboard of center at the transom.

== Head ==
 
== Head ==
  
The head is a hand-operated marine toilet unit connected to a 25 gallon expanding holding tank.  The output from the toilet goes into the holding tank.  From the holding tank there are two hoses, one to a pump-out fitting on the deck, the other to a thru-hull under the forward cabin sink.
 
 
The forward facing panel beneath the sink in the forward cabin can be removed for access to the thru-hull valve.
 
 
The seawater in thru-hull is located port of center under the main cabin floorboards, just aft of the mast.  A small mesh strainer is located inline soon after the thru-hull valve.

=== Batteries ===
+
=== Electric Wiring ===
  
There are two independent sets of batteries on the boat.  The "Engine" battery (or "Starter Battery") is used for starting the engine.  The "House" batteries supply power to most of the rest of the electrical equipment onboard.
+
These two documents were provided by Mashnee's restorers:
  
The House batteries are charged by the alternator.  The Engine battery is charged via the Balmar Duo Charge, mounted on the bulkhead above and just forward of the House batteries.  A solar panel was installed in 2015 to trickle-charge the house batteries.
+
* [[Media:mashnee-electric-diagram.jpg | 12V electric wiring diagram]]
  
==== Engine Battery ====
+
* [[Media:mashnee-electric-system-handout.jpg | Electric system description]]
  
The Engine Battery is a marine dual-purpose AGM battery. The battery is located in the port lazarette, next to the water heater, and under the propane tank. 
+
=== Lighting ===
  
The Engine battery is isolated by the Engine Battery Switch, located alongside the circuit breakers above the galley sink.  The Engine Battery Switch is an on/off switch, located by the circuit breaker panels above the galley sink.
+
=== Batteries ===
  
When the Engine Battery Switch is on, power is connected to the starter motor and to the "Ignition Switch" on the binnacle in the cockpit through the always-on 50 amp "Engine" breaker above the galley sink. The Ignition Switch on the binnacle powers the following circuits:
+
Two batteries run through a battery switch. Batteries are both house and engine; no distinction possible with current wiring.
  
* Starter button on binnacle (connected to starter solenoid)
 
* Balmar charging regulator
 
* Engine instruments in cockpit instrument panel
 
* Engine temperature sensors, oil pressure sensor and alarm buzzer
 
* Electric inline Fuel Pump located under port settee, just aft of the fuel tank
 
 
The Engine Battery Switch should be switched to OFF when leaving the boat.
 
 
==== House Batteries ====
 
 
The House battery bank consists of two Lifeline GPL-31T deep-cycle marine AGM batteries, tied together in parallel. This battery bank is located in the starboard lazarette, just aft of a bulkhead that separates the lazarette from the main cabin.  The House battery compartment is usually covered by a white wooden tray that contains winch handles.
 
 
The House battery bank is isolated by the House Battery Switch, located alongside the circuit breakers above the galley sink.
 
The House Battery Switch is a four-way switch located by the circuit breaker panels above the galley sink. During normal operation of the boat, the House Battery Switch should be switched to the "House" position.  This allows the house battery bank to be charged by the engine, and to power the various 12-volt devices through the breakers above the galley sink.
 
 
The House Battery Switch should be switched to "OFF" when leaving the boat.
 
 
The two additional positions on the House Battery Switch will enable parallel use of the House battery bank and the Engine battery, and should only be used in case of emergency. (See [http://sailing.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/Standard_operational_procedures#Emergency_Battery_Operations Emergency Battery Operations]) Note that the Engine Battery Switch must be ON in order to use the House Battery Switch as an emergency parallel switch.
 
  
 
=== Solar Charging ===
 
=== Solar Charging ===
 +
Yes
  
A 55-watt '''Ganz GSP-55 solar panel''' is installed on the v-berth hatch. The cable snakes through the dorade box into the head, then along the port wiring conduit. It connects to a '''Morningstar SunSaver MPPT solar controller''' which charges the House battery bank directly (not through the House Battery Switch).
 
  
=== Circuit Breaker Panels ===
+
=== Circuit Breaker Panel ====
  
As of September 2016, there are four circuit breaker panels above the galley sink, and one panel in the cockpit.
 
 
*'''Note''': Any circuits that are not currently connected will be labeled "N/C" with blue tape at the circuit breaker.

==== Circuit Breaker Panel 4 ====
 
 
As of September 2016, this Breaker panel is not being used.  Some of the breakers may be used for other circuits in the future.  Some of the space on the panel may also be used for ammeters in the future.
 
 
==== Nav Lights Fuse Panel ====
 
 
The dark grey plastic panel in the cockpit, starboard of the wheel, is a Blue Sea Systems  "[http://bluesea.com/category/16/products/4306 WeatherDeck Waterproof Fuse Panel]".  The navigation lights on the boat are controlled through this six-position panel. 
 
 
Power to this panel is supplied by the "Navigation Lights Master" circuit breaker on the control panels above the galley sink.  Each of the six circuits is protected by an internal blade-type fuse.  When power is supplied to the panel, and the corresponding fuses are not blown, then the circuit indicator labels will glow red.  When each circuit is switched on, then the label will glow green.  If the label does not glow, then the fuse is probably blown.  Please see the instruction manual for fuse replacement.

There is a standard NMEA 2000 network with most connections behind the false panel in the aft-most port cupboard (above the ice box). The backbone has been extended using .5 meter backbone cable and a drop tee. There is an additional set of connectors in the forward compartment just to port of the mast. There is one free port at the mast.
  
The NMEA 2000 network on ''X Dimension'' entirely consists of instruments, cables and connectors manufactured by Garmin.  All connectors are NMEA 2000 "Micro" connectors.  The network consists of a backbone that runs from the cabinet on the port side of the companionway to the top of the mast.  The backbone requires a terminator at either end.  The backbone also requires 12v DC power to operate; this is supplied by the yellow power cable.

Engine

40 HP Volvo D2-40 diesel engine. Installed: 2008.

Propeller

3 blade Gori feathering propeller. File:Mashnee gori prop.pdf and File:GORI Manual-15-16 5-Overdrive-Shaft-A4-3.pdf

Folding the Propeller

Put the gear shift in reverse when the engine is off. This locks the shaft and ensures the propeller folds and does not spin. Then return the lever back into neutral.

Normal Ahead

If you want to shift from "overdrive" to normal/forward position, the lever will have to be put into neutral when the boat does more than 1 knot ahead until the blades have folded again, then put it in the forward position again. If the propeller is spinning with the engine in neutral, you must go gently in reverse, while the boat is moving forward. After the propeller has been going in reverse for a few seconds, you can go back to neutral and the propeller will have folded and the shaft stopped. when you back to forward, the propeller will be in normal ahead. Before leaving the harbor, always check the position of the propeller by means of the boat's tachometer so that the propeller is in the wanted position.

Going Astern

in the reverse position the blades swing 180 degrees opposite the forward position which ensures the same blade leading edge and profile, resulting in high-efficiency. If the boat has not been used in some time, you should shift cautiously between forward and reversed a few times before sailing in order to clean the teeth of the blades and the gears from fouling.

Going Ahead in Overdrive

The “Overdrive” function is to be used when motoring at a cruising RPM in fair weather or when motorsailing. Overdrive is a second larger pitch achieved by going forward with the propeller blades in the reverse position. The second higher pitch acts like 5th gear in a car and likewise can increase speed and efficiency.

In order to position the propeller in forward "overdrive" it is necessary to move the boat astern so that the blades are kept in reverse position when the lever is put into forward. Do not try to make the propeller go from forward to "overdrive" position by quick shifts with the lever when the boat is sailing ahead in the water. When in reverse position, the blades have a 20% higher pitch than forward. when you go forward with the propeller in the reverse position, this higher pitch is kept, enabling overdrive. If you are in standard forward at the higher RPM and want to go into overdrive:

  • 1. Reduce the engine RPM and put the shift lever into neutral
  • 2. Go into reverse
  • 3. Raise the engine RPM several hundred for a few seconds
  • 4. Reduce the engine RPM and move the shift lever to forward smartly without hesitation You will now be in overdrive.

If you are in overdrive and want to go into standard forward:

  • 1. Reduce the engine RPM and put the shift lever into neutral
  • 2. Bump into reverse for a second which stops the shaft immediately
  • 3. Wait several seconds (shaft should stop rotating), blades fold closed from forward motion and then shift back into forward
  • 4. This will give you the standard forward position. By bumping into reverse and leaving the engine in neutral for several seconds you are allowing the shaft to stop rotating and the propeller blades to fold closed (action of water flow over the positively geared blades), then when you go back into forward the blades will open in the standard forward position.

Often just after leaving the marina slip you may find that the propeller is in Overdrive. This is due to when backing out of the slip and then shifting the into forward position - while the boat was still moving backwards - the blades will be in the overdrive position. Simply put the shift lever into neutral for a few seconds, make sure the shaft stops turning (bump into reverse for a second) and then back into forward and you will be in the standard forward. Many Gori customers use overdrive for the vast majority of their motoring, only using standard forward in conditions that require great thrust and high RPM such as to power through heavy seas or quickly maneuver.

Magnetic Compasses

There is a magnetic compass which is placed in the starboard cockpit locker. When it is deployed it is mounted on a small brass rail at the foot of the companionway.

Note, this compass cannot be trusted. Compasses do not take hard knocks well, and there is no guarantee that its placement is not in a magnetically pathological location. This compass can be used for relative heading hold, e.g. maintaining a number. However, the absolute values are not to be trusted at all. [KDS]

Galley

Stove

The stove is an Orico-style alcohol stove. Alcohol does not burn as hot as propane so it takes longer to cook.

To operate the stove, remove the wooden plate and place it above, where the metal underside will serve as a heat deflector.

The top of the stove needs to be open to reveal the metal canister underneath. There is a black rubber disk which seals the canister and keeps the alcohol from evaporating. Remove this.

Ensure that the stove dial is turned to the on position, and then the stove can be lit with a lighter or match.

The stove is extinguished by turning the dial fully off, and then replacing the rubber disk and the wooden cover.

Ice Box

  • There is a sump under the ice box to collect the meltwater. This sump can be emptied via the salt water foot pump for the sink if the cross-flow valve underneath the sink is switched. The valve has a pointer on it and the pointer must point up (12:00) for sump drain and to the right (3:00) for the salt water intake.
