I. ENGINES DETROIT 6V-92TA 550 HP A. PRE-START CHECKS 1. Check Engine Oil level with dipsticks mid engine. Use Delo 100-40 wt. 2. Check coolant level at reservoir forward bulkhead. 3. Check belts. 4. Check fuel level sight gauges at forward bulkhead in engine room or use tank tender pilothouse control panel. 5. Fuel crossovers for supply and return open 6. Check fuel filters. B. START PROCEDURE 1. Make sure gears are in neutral and throttles are all the way back or just slightly advanced. 2. Turn engine key. If engine fails to start within 30 seconds release starter switch and allow starting motor to cool a few minutes. If engine fails to start after two attempts an inspection should be made to determine cause. 3. Oil alarms should shut off within 10-15 seconds of engine start. If not, shut down and check for cause. 4. Engine oil should be 25 psi at 1200, at normal operating speed oil should be 50-70 psi. At low idle maybe as low as 10-15 psi. 5. Check for water flow out exhausts. Seaductress has a split exhaust that directs water and air out underneath the hull as well. 6. Transmission oil pressure runs 200 psi and up. Check transmission oil while engine is running in neutral this a weekly check. Delo 100-40 wt. 7. Avoid prolonged unnecessary idling under 800 RPM. 8. Wait until engine temperature has reached 105 before running engines up to operating speed. Turbo charger must be warmed up or damage could occur. 9. MAX Cruise RPM 1900 C. BOW THRUSTER 1. Turn on at D.C. panel. 2. Batteries only charged by Bow Thruster Charger.
D. TRIMTABS 1. Use trim tabs to balance the boat or to trim the bow. 2. Make sure to leave tabs in UP position when maneuvering. E. AUTOPILOT Not Recommended For Use 1. Turn on at Circuit Breaker 2. Manual in file. II. GENERATOR 8.0 KW ONAN Note: Primarily used for charging batteries and operating stove top when shorepower not available. Since inverter operates most routinely used AC circuits. A. PRE-START CHECKS 1. Check genset oil open access to read dipstick. Use Delo 400-30wt. 2. Check coolant level at reservoir. 3. Check belts 4. Check fuel filter B. START PROCEDURE 1. Before start, make sure no loads are on genset. 2. Hold Pre-heat switch for 5 to 20 seconds depending on the temperature. 3. Release pre-heat switch, press start. Genset should start. 4. If genset does not start after cranking 20 seconds, release the switch. Wait two minutes, and then repeat start sequence. 5. Check water flow out exhaust. 6. Allow genset to warm up before applying heavy loads (2-3 minutes). 7. Indicator for inverter should be turned OFF at its control panel. With individual circuit breaker OFF, turn rotary switch to generator. 8. Circuit breaker for the different AC circuits can NOW be turned ON.
C. SHUTDOWN 1. Remove all heavy loads and allow genset operating temperature to stabilize. 2. With inverter OFF at its control panel turn rotary switch to OFF. 3. Hold stop switch down until stopped.
III. ELECTRICAL A. SHOREPOWER: 1. 220 AC shorepower connections located starboard forward or port aft cockpit. 2. 220 AC service only needed to operate the clothes dryer. 3. 110 AC service 30-amp most commonly used. 50-amp to 30- amp adapter in lazarette storage. 4. 110 AC service 20-amp possible with adapter but must be more conservative on electrical management. 5. Check to see that the Inverter indicator on its control panel is OFF. 6. Once plugged into shorepower with circuit breakers OFF, rotate source switch to forward or aft shorepower. 7. Check voltmeters and amp-meters. 8. Turn ON circuit breakers, monitoring total amps not to exceed shorepower limit. 9. Inverter circuit breakers Battery charger in and transfer in switches must be ON to power items on inverter. Check inverter panel for AC power, charge rate, etc. Inverter charges inverter/house batteries. 10. Forward battery charger charges bow thruster batteries and is the only way that these batteries get charged. 11. Engine battery charger ON as needed. 12. Main circuit breakers for fwd @ aft shorepower outlets in cabinet under computer. B. GENERATOR 1. See generator start section II 2. Generator operates all circuits. 3.

SECTION A OPERATION 1. Have both engines running and advance speed slightly above idle. 2. Switch SYNCHRONIZER ON Pilot light will be ON. 3. MOVE SLAVE ENGINE LEVER TO MAXIMUM SPEED POSITION since the SYNCHRONIZER is now controlling the slave engine, the lever is limp or non-effective. Advancing the slave engine lever eliminates the SYNCHRONIZER of undue strain in moving the entire cable system. 4. Both engines are now under the control of a single movement of the lead engine control and may be advanced or retarded through the entire cruising range. 5. To disengage switch OFF SYNCHRONIZER move slave engine lever back towards idle. It will automatically re-engage with the entire control. A safety collar assures positive return to idle when switch OFF and moving lever back. Use of the SYNCHRONIZER at minimum and maximum engine speed calls for engine speed settings to be as follows: SLAVE engine IDLE set LOWER than LEAD engine SLAVE engine MAXIMUM set HIGHER Than engine Automatic deactivation of the SYNCHRONIZER will result from conditions contrary to the above settings. The pilot light will go OFF, the SYNCHRONIZER will be deactivated. To reengage, switch OFF and ON again
