side of the refrigerator box to ensure that it is not sucking water. If it is, the bilge pump valve is in the
wrong position.
A manual bilge pump is located on the starboard side of the swim platform pass-through below the
helmsman's seat. The handle for this pump is in the port lazarette with the propane tanks. Insert the
handle into the pump below the helmsman's seat and pump.
For an emergency situation involving severe flooding there is are buckets in the starboard cockpit
locker and the waste cans in the three heads may be used to bucket water.
3. Through-hull Fittings
Wooden plugs for use if a through-hull fitting were to break are located on the shelf below the
navigator table. A hammer for driving the plugs into the hole is in the tool box in Compartment 2 in
the Main Salon. The below-water through-hull fittings are in the following locations:
In Lockers 1 and 2 of all heads (below the sink)
At the stuffing box for the propeller shaft (in the engine room)
In Bilge 1 compartment of Forward Cabin (depth sounder and speed meter)
Engine cooling water intake (main salon below the stairs just forward of the engine)
Keel cooler for refrigerator located below the floor boards just aft of the entrance to the forward
cabin.
Several additional through-hull fittings are located above the water line but may be below water when
the boat is heeled:
Galley sink drain (Cabinet 1 Main Cabin)
Bilge pump outflow (Starboard lazarette) – no valve
Shower pump outflow (Lockers 1 & 2 in each head) no valve
Sink drains in all heads
4. Emergency Tiller
The emergency tiller is located in the port cockpit locker. To fit the emergency tiller you must remove
the wheel (stow it below). Use the winch handle to remove the cover for the rudder post access that is
located below the helmsman's seat. Insert the emergency tiller so that it fits over the square top of the
rudder post and begin steering. If the steering problem is a result of jammed cables it may be necessary
to remove the cable from the steering quadrant before you will be able to steer with the emergency
tiller. The quadrant can be accessed from the port aft cabin through the access panel in the stern or
from the starboard lazarette. It is possible to steer Windward Passage in a straight line course by
locking the steering wheel and adjusting sail trim. If you are using the emergency tiller it is important
to adjust sail trim for minimum helm.
5. Storm Jib
The storm jib is a Gale Sail and is stowed in the sail locker (accessed through a hatch on the foredeck)
along with the spinnaker sheets that are used for sheeting this sail. This sail should be used when the
wind is forecast to be greater than 30 knots. The sail is attached by hanking it on over the rolled up
genoa and raising it with the spare genoa halyard. It should be attached at the tack with a painter that
allows the tack to be adjusted so that the sail is just high enough to allow waves to pass under it but as
