Operating instructions

one was closed, re-prime engine or call a mechanic if you can’t do this (see Caterpillar
engine manual).
5G: HEAD WON’T FLUSH
Is breaker on? Turn it on. Have you over-filled the holding tank? Pump it to allow
more effluent to enter it. See the “Heads” section of this manual. If all else fails, just
use only the other head.
5H: HIT A FISH NET
Engines in Neutral: don’t try to back off, you may foul the net more. Try pulling the
boat back with the dinghy & outboard. Get assistance from the fisherman. You are
responsible for damage you cause to a net!
5J: HIT A LOG OR ROCK
See EMERGENCY PROCEDURES, next chapter.
5K: PROPELLER FOULED OR DAMAGED
Best thing: have the prop checked by a diver or dive it yourself if able. Check for
vibration. Try turning shaft by hand in engine room, both should be turn-able with
engine in neutral. Is shaft noisy, or does it load engine? Do not use that side or call
Vessel Assist. See emergency procedures, next chapter.
5L: WATER (FRESH) WON’T FLOW
Is there water in the tank? Is F.W. Pump breaker on? If capable, check pressure
switch on pump, run manually if necessary.
