1. Continues hot water only option To set up this option make sure the inverter is on Next turn the left right off heat switch on the lower left corner of the thermostat to the off position By doing this you telling the system you do not want any forced air heat produced by running the fans in the heat units Now activate the system as before by switching the system heat switch from off to system heat The green light will light indicating it s on You will hear the system ignite and the system will start to heat the coolant As before it will take approximately 10 15 minutes before the coolant reaches temperatures needed to heat the water As shown in the previous section make sure the water directional valve is turned to the Everhot position When operating the system in this mode there is no heat distributed though the fan systems only hot water is provided If you want to revert back to having heat with this option simply switch the left right off heat switch back to heat You can now run the heater fans ELECTRONICS All electronic manuals are located in the third drawer under the lower helm captain s seat VHF Radios There are 2 VHF RADIOS The first is located above the main helm This radio ICOM 506 is equipped with an AIS receiver which displays those vessels in the immediate area who are transponding their vessel identification Make sure the VHF breaker located at the DC panel is on There is a second VHF RADIO IC2. The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems 110 volt AC and 12 volt DC The systems are controlled from the two ELECTRICAL PANELS located on the right side of the main helm The DC ELECTRICAL PANEL located above the AC Panel where the BATTERY SWITCHES ARE FOUND When not connected to shore power batteries are providing all power Therefore monitor the use of onboard electricity with the FIVE BATTERY VOLT monitor and turn off electrical devices that are not needed 110 Volt AC System SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board as well as the charger BEFORE CONNECTING TO SHORE POWER MAKE SURE THE INVERTER IS OFF To connect to shore power determine what amperage is being supplied from the dock connection Then plug the appropriate cord 50 or 30 amp into either the aft or forward plug location then plug into the dock receptacle If necessary add a CORD ADAPTER Cords coming off the bow can be wrapped loosely around the bow line and should never be in the water Most marinas provide 30 amp power not 50 amp If you re on 30 amp and the dock breaker pops off when you plug in make sure to turn off the hot water heater and other AC outlets and try again Hot water heater hairdryer coffee maker and toaster in any combination can pop the breaker At the AC ELECTRICAL PANEL turn the selector switch to either the aft or forward position corresponding to where you have attached the power cord Watch the
3. Next turn off the inverter which powers the system System heat with continues hot water option As mentioned earlier in this section the system is equipped with an Everhot tank This tank allows cold water to circulate through its forty feet of internal copper coil to heat water the water as it passes through It is temperature controlled through a special valve located by the tank The typical use of this tank is when you re moored on the hook or mooring ring and running the generator for the electrical hot water tank is not practical To operate the system for heat and continues hot water follow these steps First complete all the steps previously defined for heat only The difference for this function is setting up the Everhot tank for operation rather than the electric hot water tank After completing all the previous steps go to the engine room and locate the water directional valve in front of the electric water tank See the photo below DNS TE 2 M Make sure the water diverter valve is in the direction shown This allows water to go directly from the Everhot tank to all hot water faucets throughout the boat When docked and utilizing electric power and the electric hot water tank return the directional valve to the electric engine position Remember to watch your water usage carefully when using the Everhot system as hot water is continues unlike the electric tank which will run out of hot water after prolonged use
4. Remove from deck fitting and replace the cap If there is a fresh water hose on the dock rinse the tank by adding 2 minutes of water into tank 2 The tank s contents can be discharged with the MACERATOR only in Canadian waters To discharge overboard the through hull valve located on the starboard side hull just left of the generator housing must be opened to discharge To open the valve slightly loosen the T handle on the right side of the valve then pull the valve handle upward to a vertical position and re tighten the T handle To operate the macerator turn the macerator pump breaker on in the DC electrical panel Listen to the macerator s sound When the pitch becomes higher the tank is empty Discharge may be observed on the starboard side It should only take a few minutes to empty the tank Check the tank watch panel to ensure the light indicates empty After completion turn off the macerator breaker and close the through hull valve DO NOT FORGET TO SWITCH VALVE BACK BEFORE YOU RE ENTER THE US THIS INCLUDES BEFORE CUSTOMS CHECKIN FINES ARE HIGH WATER SYSTEM Fresh Water Tank s The FRESH WATER TANKS hold 271 gallons total and are located in the lazarette Observe the water level by removing a tank cap and viewing the water level To refill the 3 tanks remove the WATER CAPS from the tanks located in the stern lazarette Just above the water tanks on the transom are two faucets one is hot and cold fresh water and the

OPERATION MANUAL FOR Eloise Welcome aboard our 1996 Grand Banks 42 Classic We are happy you have chosen Eloise for your vacation and take pride in sharing her with you We are sure you will enjoy cruising the islands of the Pacific Northwest These instructions are designed to make your cruise more pleasurable In general the operation of the boat is fairly self explanatory Hopefully this will help with most of the basic operational questions some of which are unique to this vessel If you have questions about the boat or about places to visit please do not hesitate to ask the AYC staff At the end of your trip please take a moment to enter your name and any comments in our guest log located in the third drawer under the captain s seat at the main helm Your comments are important to us as we continue to upgrade Eloise after each charter season in order to make your next trip even more memorable Enjoy your trip TABLE OF CONTENTS Boat Operation Engine Inspection Start Up Shutdown Getting Underway Cruising Glendinning Synchronizers Docking Fueling Boat Electrical A C Shore Systems Inverter Generator D C House Systems Batteries Sanitation Systems Marine Toilets Holding Tank Y Valve Water Systems Fresh Water Tanks Fresh Water Pump Hot Water Electric Hot Water Tank Everhot System Showers Wash Down System Galley Stove Oven Refrigeration Freezer Microwave Heating Systems Webast
12. State Park Sticker on your vessel allows you to pick up the MOORING CANS in the parks for free You only need to register at the kiosk usually located at the heads of the docks Mooring cans have a metal triangle at the top upon which is a metal ring The metal ring is attached to the chain which secures your boat IT IS VERY HEAVY The strongest member of your crew should be picked for this job Come up to the CAN into the wind as you would for anchoring Have crew members on the bow one with a boat hook and one with a mooring line secured like a bow line As you are coming slowly up to the can have the crew holding the boat hook point at the can with the hook so the skipper always knows where it is Hook the can and bring the ring up to the boat to allow the second crew to thread the ring with the line Release the hold with the boat hook If your mooring line is led out the starboard chock bring the end of the line back through the port side You will essentially create a bridle with about 10 feet of slack from the chalk to the can The boat hook can be found in the lazarette BARBECUE The BARBECUE is attached to the aft rail After removing the protective cover and placing it in the main cabin attach the propane regulator found in the small compartment located in the upper right of the lower helm Attach a propane bottle and carefully light the unit preferably with a long stem butane lighter After the barbecue has cooled and all grease has been
