12.3 Air Conditioner (Dealer Installed Option)
The air conditioning unit is the reverse cycle type and operates on 110 volt AC power. The unit
is equipped with reverse cycle heat and can be operated as a cooling or heating unit. It is protected
by the accessory breaker in the 110-volt breaker panel. To operate, make sure the thru hull valve
for the air conditioner raw water supply pump is on. Turn the air conditioner breaker to the “ON”
position. The unit will then be controlled by the air conditioning control panel in the cabin. When
activated, water should continuously flow from the overboard drain thru hull. See the air
conditioner owner’s manual for additional operating and maintenance instructions.
Note: Air conditioners use surface water as a cooling medium. The boat must be in the
water and the raw water supply system must be properly activated prior to use.
Operation without proper cooling will cause the air conditioning circuit breaker to
trip and could cause system damage. Always check for proper water flow out of the
air conditioning pump discharge thru hull when the air conditioner is operating.
12.4 Galley and Sink
The galley is equipped with storage and a fresh water sink.
Water is supplied to the sink by a 12-volt pump located in the
stern bilge. When activated by the water pressur breaker in
the 12-volt panel, the water system will operate much like the
water system in a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps
the system pressurized. The sink drains overboard through
the cabin drain system.
The companion way ladder is hinged and can be folded to
provide access to the rod storage and more room when in the
galley. It is held in the folded position by a strap that snaps
to the cabin bulkhead.
See the Freshwater Systems Chapter for more information on
the freshwater system.
12.5 Stove (Optional)
The portable single burner gas stove is fueled by butane gas. Butane is a flammable gas that is
heavier than air and stored in disposable pressurized fuel canisters. A manual for the stove is
included with your boat. It is extremely important that you read the manual and become familiar
with the proper care and operation of the stove before attempting to use it. The stove and butane
fuel must be properly stowed when not in use.
