Dear 36z Owner:

Congratulations on becoming Captain and Owner of the world’s best built and most fuel efficient yacht of its size.

The enclosed copy of the 36z Owner’s Manual should further contribute to your enjoyment and proficiency afloat.

This manual was created jointly with Zurn Yacht Design, Boston BoatWorks and MJM Yachts. Our experience

with the 172 boats (40z’s, 34z’s and 29z’s included) built to date has been incorporated to make this manual as

useful and relevant as possible. Keep in mind there maybe some variances such as location of the breakers on the

panel. And, from time-to-time we will change specifications to keep pace with changes made to improve the boat.

When addressing a problem with a specific piece of equipment, this 36z Owner’s Manual is to be regarded only as a

preliminary source of information. The equipment manufacturer’s own manual with trouble-shooting procedures,

etc. is the primary source and authority.

An ISO CE Mark “Owner’s Manual” accompanies, and forms part of, this MJM produced 36z Owner Manual. This

booklet has many universal handling and operating tips worth reviewing.

This Owner’s Manual is designed to be a living document, not only for builder updates but for your own use and

record. Each boat is provided with a copy of the current Manual organized in a STAPLES “Mini-Ring” type binder

that allows you to add pages as needed.

One of the great advantages of purchasing a series-built or semi-custom design is that owners have the benefit of

learning from one another. So, with your continued input and comments we can keep adding useful information and

helpful hints to this manual.

Part of the ISO CE Mark Certification Program is confirmation by the owner that the manual has been received.

Please sign the extra page No. 3 included in the Manual as a receipt and return it in the stamped envelope provided.

Best wishes for fair winds and sunny skies. On behalf of the builder and designer, we are most appreciative, and I

am particularly honored, that you have chosen the 36z.

CHAPTER 1 1.0 OPERATION GENERAL This manual has been compiled to help you operate your yacht with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the yacht; the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems, and information on its operation and maintenance. Please read it carefully, and familiarize yourself with the yacht before using it.
PAGE 7
CHAPTER 1 OPERATION 6 Compass Heading & Calibration There are 3 heading references for navigation on the 36z: (1) The compass on the dash, (2) Autopilot digital compass, and (3) GPS COG (Course Over Ground). All of these headings should be within a degree or so of each other when underway. If not, it is recommended that differences be recorded on a deviation card after following the calibration method outlined below or employing the services of a compass adjuster.
PAGE 8
CHAPTER 2 2.0 SAFETY EQUIPMENT GENERAL Spend time reviewing where your safety equipment is and how it functions BEFORE you need it. Remember, the best way to protect yourself and others from accidents is to eliminate potential causes of accidents before they occur. Good seamanship and common sense go a long way in this endeavor. [See Figure 14.1] Here is a safety checklist derived in part from the USCG Vessel Check List.
PAGE 9
CHAPTER 2 2.1 SAFETY EQUIPMENT FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVES The fuel shut-off valves are located on top of the fuel tanks and are accessible through pilothouse settee lockers. Make sure you know how to shut off the fuel valve. (When the handle is perpendicular to the hose, the valve is closed.) In case of a fuel fire, STOP any machinery and close the valve to cut the supply of fuel to the fire/engine.

CHAPTER 3 PROPULSION SYSTEM 9 INTRO - THE TOP 9 CAUSES OF DIESEL ENGINE FAILURE (Motorboating Magazine - 2006). 1. NO FUEL: This is probably less of a problem on a fuel-efficient MJM than on other boats, but don’t think that it will never run out! Lack of owner attention to fuel consumption is the primary culprit for engine failure. A boat’s fuel tank can be nearly dry as a bone – even when the guage claims there’s a 1/8th of a tank left.
PAGE 11
What%Diesel%Mechanics%Wish%Every%Boat%Owner%Knew% To run well, a diesel engine requires only clean fuel, clean lubricating oil, coolant, and lots of air. Below are ten important maintenance issues that diesel mechanics wish their customers knew: 1. Don’t baby the engine. Diesels don’t like to idle in neutral, or even in gear at low speeds; they do like to work hard under load. What’s cruising RPM? Generally, 75-80% of the maximum RPM.
PAGE 12
7. Know how to trouble-shoot the cooling system. Since overheating is a common problem familiarize yourself with engine’s cooling systems: the raw water (sea-water) system, as well as the fresh water (internal circulating coolant) system. The most likely causes of overheating are: * Raw-water valve closed. * Raw-water through-hull blocked externally. Check for a plastic bag, or a clump of sea grass or other material, covering or plugging the inlet.

CHAPTER 3 PROPULSION SYSTEM 10 can also snap. The only way to avoid this malady is to replace them once they begin to show wear. Spare belts are provided in the Yanmar spares kit 3.0 GENERAL Your 36z is propelled by twin Yanmar diesel engines turning duo-prop propellors. The dual-lever electronic control acts as a combination throttle and gear selector. Care should be taken when shifting. Always allow the transmission to engage the new gear before throttling up.
PAGE 16
CHAPTER 3 PROPULSION SYSTEM 11 If you get a high water temperature alarm, most likely the raw water strainer has become clogged. Check to be sure it’s clean first. Best to check the coolant level before embarking on your journey by opening the caps on top of the engine. Coolant should be visible (reach it with you finger when the engine isn’t hot) of the reservoir which is on top of the front starboard corner of the engines. Do not attempt to remove the coolant cap of a hot engine.
PAGE 17
3.5 ENGINE AIR INTAKES Diesel engines use a large quantity of air for combustion. The engine of the 36z gets this air thru grills under the cockpit coaming, both port and starboard. 3.6 ENGINE CONTROL DISPLAYS These twin panels display all the engine data, fuel usage, etc. Please read the Yanmar-Penta Owner’s Manual to understand its operation and versatility.
PAGE 18
3.7 YANMAR ENGINE CONTROLS See the Yanmar Owner’s Manual for operating details. The “N” buttons allow you to disengage the gears to permit racing the engines in neutral. The “Take Command” button is pushed to engage the control if the boat is in Docking Mode with the joystick. The “SYNC” button synchronizes the two engines, allowing the port handle to control both engines. SUDDEN MOVEMENT HAZARD This control lever governs both throttle and shifting functions.
PAGE 19
CHAPTER 3 3.8 START ENGINE Before starting the engine, make sure (1) the raw water strainers are clean (2) the engine has sufficient oil and coolant (3) gear oil is at the proper level (4) there are no restrictions to the air intake grills (5) the fuel valve over both fuel tanks are OPEN (6) the HOUSE and BOTH ENGINE battery bank rocker switches are ON (7) the throttle is in the neutral position (8) no one is in the water near the boat and (9) all machinery space hatches are closed.

CHAPTER 3 PROPULSION SYSTEM 14 3.11 OPERATIONAL LIMITS Engine trouble can arise if the engine is operated for a long time under overloaded conditions at max RPM. Recommended “Max Cruising Speed” is at least 10% below full throttle of 3800 RPM. While running, pay attention to the engine gauges on the EVC display. A significant change in temperature, oil pressure, or voltage should be investigated immediately, before the engine is damaged.
PAGE 23
CHAPTER 4 4.0 STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM STEERING SYSTEM The 36z has an integrated, electronically controlled power steering system, which through electric motors rotate the two sterndrive units mounted on the transom. When running, the 36z is steered as with outboards. Thrust of the propellers is directed more immediately and precisely from side to side through a 26° arc to steer the boat.... rather than bouncing the prop wash pf a conventional straight shaft propulsion unit off a rudder.
PAGE 24
CHAPTER 4 STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM Joystick Calibration When moving the boat sideways if it seems that the bow or stern moves more than the other, see the Yanmar Operator’s Manual to make adjustments. 4.2 HELM STATION The helm station console is where most of the operational controls of the boat are located. Become familiar with these before you need to use them.
PAGE 25
PORT CHAPTER 4 STBD STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM WINDSHIELD CONTROLS 4.3 CONSOLE SWITCH PANEL With the exception of the Anchor Washdown which is activated along with the “Windlass” breaker (and must have the “Water Pressure” switch ON as does the washer function of the “Wiper” switch) funcitons of this panel on the console are activated by turning on their respective breaker switches on the DC Electrical Panel in the main saloon.
PAGE 26
STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM Lift Range – When the drive is tilted to maximum height, but not when running, for trailing. Power trim has an automatic stop that cuts power when the preset end limit has been reached. The stop is reset automatically when activating down trimming. Never run the engine when the drive is in “Lift Range”. Auto Kick Up – Releases the drive if hits bottom or an object in the water. This feature only protects the drive when going forward. There’s no protection in reverse.
PAGE 27
CHAPTER 4 4.6 STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM TRIM TABS At low or high speeds, it’s not necessary to trim the bow up or down, but will need tab applied to level the boat from side to side due to loading or to counteract wind pressure. The boat leans into a breeze. Tabs are useful for lowering the bow for better visibility or for slicing through waves to avoid pounding.
PAGE 28
CHAPTER 5 5.0 FUEL SYSTEM 22 GENERAL It is important to understand the fuel system aboard your boat. Diesel fuel is different than gasoline. In most respects it is safer, however precautions need to be taken to maintain the safety of your boat. Please study the safety precautions in the NMMA publication “Sportfish, Cruisers, Yachts – Owner’s Manual.” Diesel engines need to intake more fuel than they burn, and so they differ from gasoline engines in that they return excess fuel to the tank.
PAGE 29
CHAPTER 5 5.2 FUEL SYSTEM 23 FILLING THE TANKS Deck fills are mounted on the side decks, port & starboard, and are labeled “DIESEL.” Each one services only its respective tank, although with the connecting fuel line valve open, you will get some transfer to the opposite tank. As the tank is filled, vapor escapes the tank thru the vent. Overflow is prevented by an in-line fuel/air separator that will not allow fuel to pass. should be taken while filling.

CHAPTER 6 6.0 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 26 GENERAL The 36z’s electrical system may be more advanced than what you are accustomed to as it combines DC and AC power in several ways. Most of the electrical components on your boat use 12 volt DC power from 4-5 batteries totaling nearly 700 Ampere Hours of capacity.
PAGE 33
CHAPTER 6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 27 House and Generator battery switches These rocker switches with sliding cover are located on the upper right side of the DC panel with a Battery Combiner between. When the battery combiner switch is pushed DOWN, it is OFF. Pushed in UP it is ON. It is recommended to leave it in the middle AUTO position where it stays active at over 13.6 volts and deactivates below 12.7 volts.
PAGE 34
CHAPTER 6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 28 The AC Transfer switch allows either Shore 1 or generator to power the AC Panel #2 circuits. If this function is utilized, be aware that using too many AC appliances at once will cause a shorepower breaker to blow. AC Panel #2 (aft or right half of panel) is designed for those items having too much load for the batteries and inverter, thus requiring either shorepower or the generator to supply AC power.
PAGE 35
CHAPTER 6 6.4 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AC SHOREPOWER The first of three ways to supply AC power to boat appliances/systems is through Shorepower #1 and #2 30A 125V connections in the transom. These are shown rd Left to Right with the 3 Inlet for a TV cable hook-up The cover lid springs open by pushing in at the bottom, If two 30A 125V sockets are not available on the dock, very often you will find a 50A 225V socket to which you can connect a “Y” pigtail (West Marine 410373 or 12998415).
PAGE 36
CHAPTER 6 6.5 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 30 AC GENERATOR (Optional) The generator, used to create AC electrical power, is located in the aft cockpit sole locker. To operate, The generator battery selector switch at the top of the DC Panel must be ON and the generator must be selected on the AC panel. Pre-Start Checks [refer to labeled diagram that follows) (1) Check that cooling water is 1” below filler cap (2) Check the oil at dipstick (3) Open fuel line lever over starboard fuel tank.
PAGE 37
PAGE 38
CHAPTER 6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ACTIVATE AC PANEL 1: When the green LED light appears on AC 1 Panel, turn ON double Generator Selector switch for AC 1 ONLY. There is a delay until Volts (about 115) register in the digital display over AC-1. ACTIVATE AC PANEL 2: Select “CHARGE” on the Xantrex Panel and when the light comes on Green, the double-Generator Selector switch for AC 2 can be turned ON. See that AC volts are now reading on the digital meter over AC Panel 2.
PAGE 39
CHAPTER 6 6.6 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 32 REVERSE POLARITY As a safety precaution, your AC panel is fitted with reverse polarity indicators. If an AC supply were wired incorrectly, either aboard your boat or shoreside, a dangerous shock situation could exist. Normally, the reverse polarity lights should not be illuminated. If they are, disconnect that source of power and alert the appropriate person. 6.
PAGE 40
CHAPTER 6 6.8 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 33 BONDING The bonding system of your boat connects all underwater metallic fittings to the sacrificial zinc and the boat’s negative bus bar. In order for the zinc to protect an underwater part, the connection must be clean and secure. The green wires that make up this system are not normally current carrying. 6.

CHAPTER 7 7.0 FRESHWATER SYSTEM 35 GENERAL Your boat incorporates a pressurized freshwater system. A single 100-gallon tank supplies a pump which maintains a constant pressure in the system. 7.1 FILLING A deck fill is provided on the starboard side and is labeled WATER. As the tank is filled, air escapes thru the vent. 7.2 USING & MAINTAINING The freshwater pump is turned on at the DC breaker panel. If the pump is heard running continually, check that no faucet has been left open.
PAGE 43
CHAPTER 8 8.1 RAW WATER COOLING SYSTEM 36 GENERAL Raw water (seawater) is used to cool the engine and the generator. It is also used in air-conditioning options. 8.2 ENGINE RAW WATER The Yanmar D3 engines have integral raw water intakes without seacocks, but with strainers on the forward starboard top of the engines. The generator (if fitted) has a raw water intake seacocks and strainers. Before using the make sure its seacock is in the INTAKE position.
PAGE 44
CHAPTER 9 9.1 SANITATION SYSTEM 37 MARINE VACUFLUSH HEAD SYSTEM WARNING Waste discharge regulations vary by location. Check with local authorities. The waste system aboard your boat employs freshwater and a vacuum generator. The Fresh Water pump breaker and Head breaker must both be on (DC panel) for the system to work. Further controls are located on a panel in the head (shown).
PAGE 45
CHAPTER 10 GRAY WATER SYSTEM 38 10.1 GENERAL Gray water is liquid that can legally be pumped overboard, generally from sink drains, shower drains, and bilges. Your boat also directs deck run-off to of all gray water through common drains (port & starboard) in the transom. 10.2 GRAY WATER TANK The gray water sump box aboard your boat is located in the bilge under the panel below the bottom companionway step.
PAGE 46
CHAPTER 11 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 39 11.1 GENERAL Although all the exterior equipment on your boat was selected with marine service in mind, it is helpful to rinse the boat with freshwater after exposure to saltwater. 11.2 ANCHOR WINDLASS (Optional) Refer to the manual that came with your windlass for specific operating instructions. The windlass draws lots of power from the house bank.
PAGE 47
CHAPTER 11 11.4 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 40 PRIVACY/SUNSCREEN CURTAINS (OPTION) Fine white mesh allows you to see out but makes it difficult to see in. When installed at night, these curtains convert the Pilothouse (34z Shown) into an additional stateroom. The 7 Curtain set comes rolled up in its own carry bag. Curtains attach to the inside of the windshields with Velcro and on fixed side windows on openings with shock cord retainers.
PAGE 48
CHAPTER 11 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 41 2 FREEZER AREAS 11.6 COOKTOP (Optional) The galley cooktop aboard your boat is powered by AC electricity. To use it, make sure the cooktop breaker on the AC panel is ON and that either the inverter, generator or shorepower is supplying AC power. Do not leave the cooktop ON while unattended. 11.

CHAPTER 11 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 42 To adjust fan speed range to the lowest setting “1” so that the fan is operating softly and hardly noticable, while leaving the high-speed setting “6” has good volume: Push the Fan Control button until “P1” shows. Then Press Star to select “P2” .Press Up or Down Arrow until reading “65”. Press Star to get to “P3”. Press Up or Down Arrow until reading “40” The A/C system uses raw water, much like the engine, for heat exchange.
PAGE 50
CHAPTER 11 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 11.11 SIRIUS SATELLITE RADIO ACTIVATION (Optional) To activate Sirius Satellite Radio services on the Clarion XMD4, you will need the serial number: (1) Push the “MENU” button in the upper right set.. (2) Using the right or left arrow scroll to “SID DISP”. (3) The first 6 digits of the serial number will be displayed.
PAGE 51
CHAPTER 11 OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 11.13 FLIR INFRARED NIGHT VISION (Optional) This new technology for the marine industry takes away the guesswork in terms of depth perception when looking at running lights of boats ahead or in being able to spot crab or lobster pots. It is particularly useful when entering a crowded harbor at night. The FLIR can be controlled either through the Raymarine e165 Display (See those instructions) or through a separate control panel shown hrere.
