Power Train

TEMPORARY NOTE: The Perkins engine SHOP and PARTS manuals are available only as web copies as listed in the | documents list. As of now (30Aug11) we are verifying their dates when printed relative to our engine's age, and looking for a complete parts manual.

There is a mechanical fuel gauge located under the port main saloon bunk cushion. It is quite accurate when the boat is level. The electrical fuel gauge(s) are not operative.

Bilge Pumps

See the previous owner's Useful Info writeup, page 7, section headed "Bilge Pumps"

• Jabsco Model 34600-Series Electric Diaphragm Bilge Pump
  • Jabsco catalog
  • This a high-capacity pump, actuated by a switch above the sink.
  • There is no bilge float switch currently (12Sep11)

• (unidentified model) automatic bilge pump
  • This pump pumps out a dammed zone between the engine and the bilge pump, used to pump water leaking between the rudder post and the thru-hull tube.
  • It operates every 2-1/2 minutes, and pumps as long as water is present; otherwise, if no water is present, it turns itself off and runs again in 1-1/2 minutes.

Head

The head is a standard Jabsco hand-operated marine toilet unit connected to a very small (~5 gallon) holding tank. By lifting the teak lid next to the sink in the forward cabin vanity, one can see the hose and valve to deflect sewage into the small holding tank or overboard. The coupling for pump out is located near the valve assembly. Pump out stations have several coupling styles and can match as necessary.

NOTE: At the present time, the head is configured to deflect sewage overboard and the valves cannot be moved. The head is currently placarded "Head Inoperative Do Not Use"

Electrical

12-volt

The best measure of the status of the house battery is to use the switch above the galley sink and toggle it to the right when the engine is stopped (i.e., not charging) and the battery switch is set to "House". There is a voltmeter near the switch that should indicate at about the red/green line. When the engine is running, the indicated voltage should ba approximately 14V. Note that the switch sometimes has a poor contact and needs to be jiggled a little to have it work. Note that the ammeter in the engine instrument cluster in the cockpit is not working.

Electronics

TEMPORARY NOTE (02Sep11): The block tabulation of electronics documentation below will probably finally reside in the [Documents] section of this wiki.

The list is here primarily because some Electronic Wiz found many web hits on current manuals, and then a paperwork slog related onboard documents to the devices too.
