This is a list of miscellaneous operational lore for Nevermore.
- engine
- from a cold start, glow for 10 seconds before starting the engine.
- from a cold start, let the engine idle for 5 minutes before revving it up.
- the engine runs best (least wear, most efficiency) at around 2000 rpm.
- head
- there are two thru-hull valves for the head. one is to let seawater in (yellow handle), the other is to let sewage out (rusty wrench handle).
- there is a valve with blue handle that determines whether sewage goes overboard or into the holding tank.
- to check the level of the holding tank, visually inspect it. the holding tank is located on the port side of the v berth. do not attempt to open/remove the clear plastic inspection portal.
- electrical
- for general use, keep both battery switches in the 'both' position.
- use the guppy when the boat is at anchor or moored. when the guppy is in the water, the guppy corrodes instead of the copper wires on the boat.
- freshwater
- if you must remove a large volume of water from the freshwater tanks, do it through an inspection portal using a hand pump.
