Cheat Sheets

Guidelines for WorkersNothing personal, but some less than optimum past experiences have made it necessary to make certain that anyone performing work on KEWA knows the following guidelines:

The bilge is clean, so please let it that way. Do not allow oil, fuel, sawdust, antifreeze or water to drain into the bilge. If something does enter the bilge, no matter what it is, please clean it out.

Wipe your feet before setting foot on the deck. Take your shoes off or wear booties when going below decks. If there is work to be done below deck, put down protective cardboard, tarps or

paper. It is assumed that all jobs include proper clean up to return the boat to the

condition it was in prior to starting the job. Please thoroughly test the installation/repair. Please provide a summary of the work completed and any notes on special

considerations, configuration selections, etc. Also, please let me know if you saw anything anywhere on the boat that you believe I should pay special attention to.

Please provide manuals, and if available, receipts for any equipment provided as part of the job.

Detailing Exterior Washing It is desirable to do a complete boat soap washdown of the exterior after every use. A professional washdown at the dock is presently scheduled for two times per month.

Auto wash mitts help in getting all the rails, stanchions, and other hard to reach areas on the boat.

TeakWhile cruising, which generally results in plenty of saltwater on the decks, no particular cleaning is required. At other times, wash the decks with boat soap using a very soft chamois mop, mopping perpendicular to the grain. The best way to lighten up teak is to sail the boat. The combination of saltwater on the deck and walking the deck will refresh it. If the teak deck becomes dark, which generally occurs when not used frequently, it can be cleaned annually with a very light mixture of either TSP and water, or bleach and water. Wet the deck, rub with a stiff sponge against the grain with the solution. Let stand for five minutes then rinse. Do it in small sections, one at a time so it does not dry before rinsing. Boracol solution from HR Parts & Accessories treats the deck to reduce the build up of mildew, which is what causes the black discolorations, but Boracol is not legal in the US.

Wax/Polish3M Marine Wax for the fiberglass and 3M Metal polish for the stainless. Wax around the exhaust ports to remove the black stains as soon as possible after a voyage.

Mast/BoomPolish the mast and boom periodically with Aluminum polish.

BottomIn the Bay Area, a quarterly bottom cleaning with a haul out every two years should be sufficient. The previous owner reported that in tropical waters he would use scuba gear and clean the bottom about once a month with a stiff sponge on everything, and a 3M scrub pad only as necessary and a paint scraper for the propeller to get the blades clean. When not at a marina, once a month was adequate. At a marina, especially well-protected ones, more frequent cleaning is required.

Interior Wipe the mahogany wood with a microfiber cloth and Cabinet Magic spray. Polish the metal using Flitz metal polish. Use small Red Devil hand-held vacuum to vacuum the carpets. Makita portable vac in the hall cabinet for small vacuum jobs. In the heads and galley use Simple Green (much cheaper at the auto parts store than the marine store). An occasional good cleaning with 409 to kill bacteria.


Engine RoomFreshwater rinse anytime that saltwater is spilled (i.e., cleaning saltwater intake strainers.) A thorough 409 cleaning periodically, especially after oil changes will help keep it clean.

BilgesOccasional rinses with a light mix of bleach water to kill any bacteria. Dump a 5 gallon bucket each through the engine room and the forward sole locker. The bilge pump should come on and pump out, then use the hand pump to make sure the bilge is pumped clear.


Sailing MainsailThe previous owner reported that the best method to furl and unfurl is to have the backstay slacked and the boom down to keep tension on the leach. Then head about 5-10 degrees to starboard of the wind and furl or unfurl. Keep some slack in the sail (do not pull it tight against the boom.) Once the sail is all the way out of the mast, ease the mainsheet and ensure there is no tension on it, then tighten the outhaul the remainder of the way. Tightening the outhaul with the mainsheet tight and the sail loaded puts undue stress on the outhaul block and will break the sheave.

Mechanical Yanmar 4LH-TE 105 HP Turbocharged Diesel AuxiliaryPrevious owner used Mack Boring as a parts supplier and reports that they can also help answer technical questions such as what to do when the fuel filter bleed bolt sheers off (replace it with any stainless steel bolt that fits, don’t worry about the small pre-drilled hole in the original bolt.)

Fisher Panda Model 6 PMS GensetFisher-Panda 6kW 220v 50hz generator w/ Soundguard.

Main distributor is in Florida 800 508 6494. Hallberg-Rassy installed a Racor instead of the normal FP fuel filter, so do not order any fuel filters from FP. Always order their belts - do not order generic belts as they cannot stand up to the heat in the sound proof box.

Do not replace the coolant block as described in the FP manual. This is only necessary if the genset is raw water cooled, which, as installed, this genset is not.

The previous owner had the 12v voltage regulator go out and tech support walked him through working around it by email. Recommend carrying a spare 12v voltage regulator for the genset. The problems he had more frequently with the genset were cooling system related. Two impellers self-destructed, the fan belt came lose twice, and the hose on the exhaust side split. He added to the annual maintenance list the need to remove and inspect all cooling hoses on the genset to avoid that problem. Also recommend installing the Speed Seal cover to the impeller to make it quick and easy to check/replace the impeller.

To install the spare 12v regulator, per FP support: All you have to do is change the plug on the end. Bend the tabs down on the white plug and re install the black end on the plug. The shim you do not replace, all injection pumps have shims just depends on what engine all engines have a set which can be different and if not installed correctly can throw off timing but you do not replace them only if they are damaged. The fuel solenoid piece you have to disassemble the plug remove the screw and you have to de-solder the connections and the diode and remember the way the diode goes because it is polarity sensitive, unless the harness has melted.

If I can be of further help please email or call,[email protected] 1-800-508-6494.Thank You, Ricardo Colõn

Ok, thanks. Is the order for the wiring harness and the replacementregulator being processed? Is the black plastic thing that sits betweenthe engine case and the injection pump the shim that you are referringto? Is that not normally replaced when the injection pump is replaced?

Tx, will

No gasket required for the injection pump only shims. The screws are notavailable. I apologize for not letting you know.

If I can be of further help please email or call,[email protected] 1-800-508-6494.Thank You, Ricardo Colõn

Received the parts and was able to install the new fuel injection pumpand the bleed upgrade kit. Genset now starts and runs beautifully.Thank you.

I do need to do the following, however:

1) Exchange the 12v regulator -- the regulator on my genset has a long,flatish, black connector, not the wider, shorter, white one.

2) Purchase a wiring harness for the new fuel solenoid I was sent. Myold solenoid has the wiring fairly permanently connected to it, whereasthe new solenoid has three prongs for a harness/cable of some sort toconnect to it, so I'll need the proper harness/connector for that.


3) I did not receive the fuel injection pump gasket that I requested,nor did I receive the screws & nut for the injection pump.

Can you please send these parts and I will return the regulator I haveto you?

Thanks again,

Oil ChangingYanmar manual says change the oil every 150 hours. I try to change the oil every 100 hours and always change the filter at the same time.

1. Use Delo 15w40 (reported capacity is 5.8 quarts, seems like it needs at least 7 or more if the oil filter is changed).

2. Warm engine for 10 mins (5 mins is too short to thin the oil).3. Drain using Jabsco drain system (takes about 3 hours if 5 min engine warm-up is

used and it is cold outside).4. Put zip lock around the old oil filter, a diaper below it, and remove with an oil

filter wrench. A lot of used oil will drain out, so be sure the diaper is well positioned.

5. Lube the oil filter gasket on the new oil filter w/ oil and install until gasket touches and then 2 – 3 more turns.

6. Log oil change and engine hours.7. Start engine and run for 10 minutes to ensure no leaks.8. Stop engine and check oil level. Top off as necessary.

AquaDrive systemThis comes standard on the HR 46 and all larger HRs. It is a mounting system that ensures that the full thrust of the propeller is used to move the boat forward in the water and not move the engine forward on the engine mounts.

Gori Folding PropellerThis is a folding prop where the blades can fold out at a different pitch in either direction. Reverse results in the same pitch as in the normal forward gear. Also, by keeping the blades folded for the reverse gear, but going forward instead, you have what essentially is a forward “high gear.” To achieve this, motor in reverse until the boat is moving through the water backwards, then switch into forward gear and motor forward (if you put the boat in neutral, the blades will flip back to normal gear). In normal gear and flat water, the boat typically achieves approximately 6 knots at 1700 rpm. In high gear, the boat should achieve approximately 7 to 7.5 knots at 1700 rpm.

The previous owner reported 3 occurrences of rope/nets wound into the propeller and had “spurs” (line cutters) installed. The debris never wrapped on the shaft, only in the prop


itself. They noticed it pulling into an anchorage and try to stop the boat. With all the rope around the prop, it doesn’t fold properly (when putting it in reverse, the blades are supposed to flip through to the other side), resulting in a tangled mess and a prop that only unfolds about 1/3 as far as it should (and you don’t get much power from that!). We usually end up putting on dive gear and cutting it away. I can only speculate that we increase our chances of getting debris in the prop when we have to motor in reverse to get into high gear, but that we don’t notice the debris until much later when we try to reverse and switch gears and the blades get caught.When the propeller starts to turn under power, water pressure develops immediately on the exposed portion of the blade. The water pressure determines if the blades open to the right or to the left... the propeller opens one way when turning clockwise and the other way when turning counterclockwise. The face of each blade has one pitch and the back of each blade has a higher pitch.

When the vessel is put into forward, the propeller opens so that the face of each blade is the positive pressure side. The water pressure pushing on the blade face pushes the vessel forward. When the vessel is put into neutral before putting the vessel in reverse, the blades fold immediately under the current caused by the forward motion of the vessel. In reverse, the propeller rotates in the opposite direction, flipping the blades over. The water pressure is again pushing on the blade face and pulls the vessel in reverse. When under sail in favorable conditions, the skipper can decide to motor sail using the back face of the propeller blades, which have a steeper pitch than the front face of the blades. This is accomplished by starting the engine and backing down to put the propeller in the correct orientation. While putting the vessel in neutral, the current keeps the blades open. When the transmission is put into forward, the propeller blades do not flip over, because the positive pressure that develops when the prop starts to turn holds the blades in place. The sails are raised and the vessel is now overdrive, achieving higher speeds for a given RPM, or better feul economy by running at reduced RPM's at a given speed.The "overdrive" is used when motorsailing in fair weather or when using the engine under sail. The "overdrive" gives the same speed at lower rpms. The result is less engine noise, less vibration and better fuel economy.

The function is simple. E.g. when changing from "overdrive" to normal ahead the shift and throttle control is set in neutral, which allows the propeller to fold. Then the shift and throttle control is set in forward again.You gotta be serious about it though, because to get into overdrive, you gotta go backwards, then pop the throttle into neutral, then forward and you're in overdrive. It is nice when motorsailing though. I've never had a problem accidentally winding up in OD. It's pretty easy to tell when you're in OD inadvertently (i.e. no sails helping out) because the engine will be laboring and won't wind up like normal when throttle is applied. If you think about it (and this is one of the reasons I don't use OD all THAT much), putting the prop in OD without the sails helping to move


the boat is basically like having an over-pitched prop, which is overloading the engine.

Side Power 10 HP Bow ThrusterThe controls are integral to the engine throttle lever on the binnacle. Always test the bow thruster before you need it to make sure that it is turned on and functioning properly. Wait xx seconds after thrusting in one direction before thrusting in the other direction in order to let the gears stop spinning and to avoid severe damage. The unit blocks a too-rapid-direction reversal itself, by disengaging the switch in the opposite direction, but it is still best to wait xx seconds and avoid any risk of damage.


Electrical KEWA has a very comprehensive and flexible electrical system. Shore power can be 220v or 110v. On-board, 12vdc, 24vdc, 110vac and 220vac power is available throughout the boat.

BatteriesBatteries were upgrade to Discover AGM batteries in October 2006. These batteries provide high capacity for the space they require (higher than the original Tudor 140s from the factory) and also require no maintenance in terms of filling with water.

The Discover batteries are taller than the Tudors and therefore required some modifications to the battery restraint system, including screwing down the battery box covers.

AGM batteries require a different and more carefully controlled charging process. To accommodate this requirement, a new 12v Balmar alternator with external three-stage regulator was installed to replace the existing Hitachi alternator with internal regulator. Additionally, the 12v alternator and regulator on the genset, which used to charge the start battery at a fixed voltage that is too high for the AGM batteries (about 14.7v), was disconnected.

Discover AGM Charging per Discover documentation@ 77 degrees F: CHARGE = 14.20v to 14.72v (std to max)

FLOAT = 13.40v to 13.80vBULK charge should be less than or equal to 30a per 100ah and should end when

voltage is 14.4v to 14.7v (28.8V to 29.4v)ABS charge maintained at 14.4v to 14.7v (28.8v to 29.4v) until current acceptance

drops by less than .1a in a 1-hour period.FLOAT charge is 13.5v to 13.8v (27.0v to 27.6v)

Discover Battery Capacity


Deep cycle batteries shouldn’t be discharged more than 50% of total amp hour capacity. When charging a battery to its full capacity, the last 15% of the charging is very inefficient. Therefore it is recommended that a battery bank be discharged to 50% of its capacity and then recharged to 85% of its capacity. Charging back to 100% is fine, but takes excessive genset hours or engine hours to achieve the final full charge. For KEWA’s house bank, following this approach results in 171.5 24V amp-hours of usable capacity. Assuming the batteries are in good shape, batteries can be discharged until the MasterVolt control panel reads –245 amp-hours, and then should be charged until the reading is approximately –73.5 amp-hours.

Battery Charging Profiles 12v regulator is a Balmar 3-stage external unit and charges based on the

selected/programmed profile <detail>. There is a backup regulator built into the Balmar 12v alternator. The Balmar external regulator and the switch to select which regulator to use is located under the nav station footwell.

24v regulator is a Balmar 3-stage external unit and charges based on the selected profile. Standard Flooded Lead Acid profile is BULK at 28.8v, ABS at 28.4v and FLOAT at 28.4v. Gel = 28.2, 27.8, 27.4. AGM = 28.76, 28.36, 26.76.

12v charger BULK charges until it hits 14.25v, ABS charges for 4 hrs or until current is less than 1A for 15mins, whichever is earlier, then FLOAT charges at 13.25v. Jumper setting provides optional FLOAT voltage of 13.8v.

24v charger BULK charges until it hits 28.8v, holds for 4 hrs for ABS, then FLOATS at 26.8v


Mastervolt 24V Charger / 220v InverterThis system is controlled by the Combi System Control Panel (CSCP) located above the engine room access in the hallway to the owner’s cabin. Produces a true sine wave output.

Mastervolt 24V 110v InverterProduces a modified sine wave output (trapezoid) that seems to power everything okay, except for a breadmaker machine.

CSCP Set UpPress Set Up button for 5 seconds (the green LED will flash when Set Up mode is active). Then briefly press the button for the function to be set up (blue lettering). The present value will be displayed. After 3 seconds of pressing the function button, the display will begin to scroll through the range of values that can be selected. Release the button when the desired value is displayed.

The Power Share feature sets the AC current limit for battery charging to ovoid over-loading available AC sources. To enter Power Share set up, ensure that the green LED on the charge button is illuminated before entering set up mode. The selections are 5, 10, 15 and 20. The higher the number, the greater the amps available for charging. 10 appears to be a good setting for 30amp shore power service (20 will definitely overload 30amp shore service). At 10, a peak of about 44amps goes into the 24v house bank during charging. The genset can handle 20.

Reportedly the full specification charging rate for the MV charger is 70 amps, although the previous owner never saw more than just under 60amps.

The previous owner reported an electrical problem for which they never found the cause. The symptom was that the charging parameters got scrambled. Unplugging the control panel from the system to reset it to factory defaults solved the problem.

Turning the 24v gauge on at the electrical panel also illuminates the CSCP backlight.

Balmar 65amp Alternator (24v)The previous owner replaced the alternator with a new unit in 2004, and the old unit is kept as a working spare.

24v Voltage RegulatorA Balmar multi-stage programmable regulator is installed under the floorboard at the nav station seat. With this regulator you can choose the charging program from a set of factory-predefined programs.

Installed next to the regulator (under nav station foot board) are two switches to disable charging from the alternator. If the batteries are fully charged, the alternator can be switched off to avoid too much charge to the batteries, which may result in damage. Because the Balmar regulator wants to run a minimum 30-minute bulk charge to start, if


you are starting and stopping the engine or if you run the Genset when the batteries are fully charged (???), you can disable the regulator. Also don’t run both the 24v AC charger and alternator at the same time as they can overheat the batteries.

The labels on the switches under the footwell indicate which wire they are disconnecting to the alternator and the resulting impact. ON = connected and OFF = disconnected. They both have to be connected to get any charge. Ignition Resets Cycle disconnects the Ignition wire to the alternator. When reconnected it will reset the charging cycle on the Balmar voltage regulator to the beginning of the cycle. The MaxCharge regulator display next to the switches indicates the present charging stage. The Field Resumes Cycle disconnects the field wire to the alternator. This temporarily disables charging, and when reconnected will resume at the charging stage where it left off.

Original BatteriesThe batteries provided by the HR factory are nicely set up (isolated, vented battery boxes with removable locking boards to lockdown the batteries), but the batteries are a difficult to replace type/size. The system originally consisted of 6 x 12volt @ 140amp-hours for the 24v side, (providing at total of 420amp at 24volts), 1 x 12volt @ 140amp-hours for the 12v service and 1 x 12volt @ 140 amp-hours for the starter battery.

HR Yahoo group user reports that the original 140amp Tudor domestic batteries measure 51cm x 19cm x 19cm. Others think they are actually 513 x 189 x 223 mm, and have used the Tudor HD (4D LT) (as installed by HR in many Yachts) as well as the HDX (improved version) and found that they worked quite well for 3-4 seasons.

Some HR Yahoo group users reported that they installed 4 of the newest SHD, SuperHeavyDuty, and so far are very happy with them, as they are more adapted to deep-discharge situations. The size is the same but they had to change the cabling as thepoles are only available in one version and it was reversed from the previous installation.

Tudor is a part of the Exide Group, and have distributors worldwide. Some report that you can get a ExideGel battery in the exact same size, the G120 120 Ah.

Nearly all flooded batteries are in the 1.260 to 1.280 range when fully charged at room temperature. Most deep cycle batteries should be in the 1.277 to 1.280 range at 77 degrees F.

Per Calder: In the US, the standard temp is 80 dF. If 70 dF, subtract 0.004. If 90 dF, then add 0.004. Let the battery rest for up to 24 hours if coming off a vigorous use

Per The specific gravity, SG, of the electrolyte in each cell of a battery shows the battery's state of charge:Full 100% charged = 1.28075% charged = 1.24050% charged = 1.200


25% charged = 1.160Dead 0% charged = 1.120.

Electronics Chart PlottingKEWA has two independent chart plotting systems, with flexible input and output choices.

Nobeltec Visual Navigation SuiteThis PC-based chart plotting system is an extremely feature-rich tool. A switch mounted on the back of the nav station breaker panel allows selection of the Garmin GPS192C or the Simrad GN30 as the GPS feed into the software.

Waypoints and routes created in Nobeltec can be uploaded to the Garmin GPS192C for viewing at the helm and for general redundancy via installed NMEA wiring interfacing the two systems. Unfortunately, this interface is not robust as the GPS192C is very finicky:

Create waypoints and route in Nobeltec. Do not share any waypoints with other routes. Keep route and waypoint names short (less than xx characters), with no special characters or spaces.

Turn on GPS192C and delete all existing routes and waypoints. Ensure that Comm menu is configured to be in xx mode. Initiate upload from Nobeltec software. Confirm proper receipt of routes and waypoints in GPS192C. If unit is frozen,

disconnect power, reconnect power and reboot. Do not delete whatever routes or waypoints have made it through. If the upload was incomplete, initiate another upload from Nobeltec.

Garmin GPS 192CThis self-contained GPS/Chart Plotter mounted at the helm is its own GPS and includes very detailed built-in charts. Waypoints and routes created on the GPS192C can be downloaded to Nobeltec, but I do not do this in an effort to avoid corrupting the integrity of the Nobeltec data.

Autopilot: Robertson AP300XThe Simrad/Robertson AP300 is installed with control heads at the Helm, Nav station, and instrument panel under the dodger.

The normal mode of using the autopilot with a sailboat is to simply have it maintain a compass heading, however it can be driven by routes from either Nobeltec or the Garmin GPS192C. The APILOT switch at the nav station selects between these two inputs.

There is an intermittent problem with the autopilot heads not powering up properly. Sometimes repeated power-on attempts at a single head or going to another head helps.


In one extreme case, two of the three heads were disconnected from the system resulting in the nav station head being able to power up the system (the heads can easily be disconnected from behind the nav station head).

The previous owner reported extensive use of the autopilot, and had occasional problems with it having a hard time getting back on course. The symptom was that the display indicated the needed correction, but the autopilot had difficulty achieving the correction in a reasonable amount of time and eventually the off course alarm would go off indicating the need for a manual correction. This most often occurred when on a point of sail that causes the steering resistance to change considerably as it corrects the steering. He reviewed the problem with a Simrad technician and after changing the system parameters these problems have been resolved. The settings are noted in the manual for the autopilot.

There are two drive units for the Autopilot and the selection switch is at the helm. The primary system (the one most used by the previous owner) is connected to the Whitlock steering system, inside the engine room. The secondary is the standard pushrod connected to the steering quadrant under the bunk in the aft stateroom. The advantage of the Whitlock, which is located in the engine room, is that it is much quieter than the Robertson hydraulic drive unit that is located under the aft port bunk.

InstrumentsThe previous owner reports no problems with the Simrad IS-11 instruments.

Radar: Anritsu 48 NM radar with repeater RA 771 UAThe main unit works great. The display is mounted so you can see it while seated on the starboard side of the cockpit. I especially like the auto-tune feature, which in most conditions, does a better job of tuning than I can do manually. It also integrates well with the other instruments: displays SOG, displays active GPS mark and a line from boat to mark, position of target, etc. The repeater in the cockpit has worked well since getting the system parameters set correctly. The unit must be setup as a slave unit, otherwise system errors will occur. Also, the range on the repeater must be equal to or lower than the range on the nav station unit. The transmitter is mounted aft on a pole, which has extension arm with a dinghy motor lift and the mini-M antennae.

SSB: SGC Powertalk with SG230 Auto Antenna TunerOnce I read the manual and did some experimentation, I found this unit to be excellent, and easy to use. There is a set of complex filter controls which I set to bypass (I only seem to be able to make reception worse using them.) There is an RF Noise Blanker that eliminates a considerable amount of noise on reception. I also have to shut off all chargers and inverters (12v and 24v) to get good reception. The autopilot also interferes with reception, but I suspect this may be due to the power lead to the radio head coming off the same wire that leads to the autopilot. The SSB wiring was changed by the prior owner, and I had a new circuit breaker installed, so I’m not sure if the lead is still as it comes from the factory, or if it some point, a wiring shortcut was taken. I’m hoping that rewiring the power lead will eliminate the autopilot interference (it’s easy enough to turn


off the chargers and inverters for radio checks, the autopilot is a problem, especially sailing shorthanded.) When the refrigeration condensers startup, they generate a noise on the radio that sounds like an auto-tuner tuning up on the same station. With good reception you can ignore the noise, with poor reception, it’s best to turn off the refrigeration while listening (just don’t forget to turn it back on).

The original setup had the SSB run off 24v using a voltage converter, which was removed by the original owner because it introduced too much noise.Did some research on SailMail using the SGC. When you talk on the SSB, you only transmit at high power when you are actually speaking. Since speech has many pauses (even if you have the transmit button held down) you don’t transmit continuously at high power. When you connect via modem over SSB, you are transmitting at high power continuously for extended periods of time. The SGC unit recommends and add on fax unit that attaches to the transmitter if you are going to transmit at continuous power. So, if you go with the SGC and want HF email, get the fan unit. Get lots more detail on this at www.sailmail.com. The transceiver is installed in the aft cabin behind the set of drawers.

GPS: Shipmate GN 30 DGPS NavigatorHas worked extremely well. Has an internal battery to keep memory when powered off. This lasted about four years and requires a technician to replace. Leaving the GPS breaker on will make the battery last much longer.

Inmarsat C & Mini-M: Thrane & Thrane C/Mini-M Combo UnitThe transceiver must be powered on and “logged in” in order to receive any messages (system messages or email), but the PC doesn’t need to be turned on or connected.

We used Comsat initially and we’re really disappointed in level of service (getting setup, diagnosing technical problems, handling billing problems.) We’ve switched to Stratos, which was incredibly easy to setup and they are much better at handling technical issues and billing issues.

We do get a daily world news update that is interesting and free.The Mini-M phone we do use, it’s $1.50/minute from most countries – a bit expensive but highly reliable compared to most other alternatives.

VHF: Simrad RS 8300 VHF Transceiver with RemoteI definitely like having a handset at the helm and one at the nav station. There is an extra handset in the spares if needed.

Loudhailer: Raytheon 430This unit does all sorts of things, but the only thing I’ve used it for is to broadcast a fog signal.


http://www.sailmail.com/

Weatherfax: Furuno D-FaxA dedicated weatherfax unit offers certain conveniences over an SSB/computer version in that its standalone operation is easy to program and simple to us, and it does not require or tie-up other equipment. Ensure that enough fax paper is on hand, however. The previous owner reports that weatherfax has reception interference issues similar to the SSB, so chargers and inverters should be turned off.

The antenna for the weatherfax is an RR Electric all-in-one unit. The junction box is located in the cabinet forward of the nav station on the port side.

San Francisco Bay Area Station ListingZone 2, Station 7, NMC = San Francisco


Ground Tackle, Anchoring & Docking Windlass: Vertical Lofrans Progress 2Foot switches on deck and up/down remote on binnacle. The above deck assembly requires at least annual disassembly and lubrication. This should be completed more frequently when cruising. One procedure is to have one person on the bow giving hand signals and the helmsman driving and raising/lowering the anchor. The rode is marked at 20’ intervals with colored cable ties in Red/Yellow/Green/Blue/White series. Card indexes are located in both the bow and cockpit lockers. Portable radios with headsets are useful for navigating through coral.

Primary Anchor: 75 lb. CQR300’ 3/8” chain. This is a common cruising workhorse anchor. We’ve had problems setting the anchor where there is seaweed and it also won’t work well where there is a thin layer of sand over flat rock.

<talk about bridle>.

Secondary Anchor: 20KG Bruce45’ 3/8” chain and 150’ 5/8” rode for use as a second anchor off either the bow or the stern. The previous owner recommends that it is easiest to lower the Bruce over the bow into the dinghy and take it out and drop it. The spinnaker halyard can assist the process if shorthanded.

Third anchor: H35 Danforth10’ 3/8” chain and 150’ 5/8” rode, stored in the aft lazarette.

MooringWe use a SwissTech mooring grabber and carry 250’ of ¾” 3-strand. These are requirements when mooring at Angel Island where you must pick up both a bow and a stern mooring to keep the strong currents from swinging you into other boats.


Canvas and Cushions BiminiBest to put up with two people and make sure that the rotating attach points on the side of the dodger don’t get any leverage in the wrong direction. Attach the front two webbing straps to the eye bolts on the cabin top in front of the dodger. Swing the boom out to the side, and lift up and back (watching the attach points) until it is fully extended. Attach the rear webbing straps to the line on the triangle attach point in front of the traveler.

Cockpit Enclosure This is very useful in the Pacific Northwest, especially in winter. When going to the tropics, it can easily be removed with four screws and stored.

Sun AwningThe main idea is to put the running backstays back and attach the awning to those and the shrouds. See the series of pictures. It can be adjusted more to one side or the other depending on the path of the sun, to provide the best protection.

CushionsUse the closed cell foam cushions for “racing” or deliveries where they might get abused. The Sunbrella cushions are much more attractive and comfortable; use them for relaxing or entertaining. The varnished trays under the dodger can be covered either using the Sunbrella covers or the closed cell foam; we generally just use the canvas now.Follow the instructions from Sunbrella for cleaning all of the various canvas covers and cushions on the boat (it is important not to clean them using harsh detergents as it will reduce their waterproof characteristics.)


Safety ACR RapidFix 406 EPIRB with GPS Interface<Investigate interface process>.

JacklinesThe previous owner had 1” webbing jacklines with eyes installed fore and aft for attachment. I find these needlessly difficult to install and am much more satisfied with Hathaway custom jacklines with line at one end for easy cinching to a cleat or padeye. Always remove jacklines upon arrival to reduce UV degradation of the webbing.

Liferaft: Autoflug ALK2000R 6-Man RaftAutoflug started supplying survival needs in the aircraft industry. They have since sold their marine unit to Zodiac. This unit features a low profile, which enables storing in front of the dodger without obstructing your view. The previous owner used Coast Marine in San Francisco for servicing.<list internal contents of liferaft.><Provide deployment cheatsheet.>

MOM-8AThis is a great instantly deployable unit that includes a horseshoe, pole and sea anchor. It needs to be serviced and repacked once a year.

FlaresThe previous owner purchased the full contingent of flares as recommended by the ORC for Category 0 offshore racing. The brand is Paines-Wessex, which are more expensive, but presumably offer better piece of mind. Plenty of outdated flares are on board as well. There is a mount for a white collision flare at the helm.

Fire Extinguishers The boat came with CE approved extinguishers, but no USCG approved, so we replaced one of the installed CE ones, and installed another USCG approved one. We keep the old CE ones on board as backup stored in closets.

Emergency PumpNeed to get one. Consider Edson handpump. They come prepackaged on a flat board with intake and output hoses. It stores neatly under the settee in the main saloon.

LifejacketsWe carry 4 auto-inflating harness type lifejackets for primary use. You don’t leave the cockpit at night without one of these on and having a tether connected to the jacklines. The two that we wear regularly also have flashlights and ACR strobes attached. We also carry two of the manual inflation, hip packet types and 6 of the inherently buoyant, bright


orange, offshore lifejackets with whistles attached. If we had to abandon ship and had time, we would wear the orange lifejackets, not the auto-inflation type.

Ditch KitWe have one of the “Floating” ditch kit bags. I have no doubt that full of safety gear, it would sink straight to the bottom. We’ve attached a long lanyard and two small floating fenders to add buoyancy. In it we keep:

Handheld VHF PUR 06 handheld watermaker Flares & smoke signals Signal flag Signal mirror 3 Strobe lights 2 Thermal protective aids (they are like a cross between a space blanket and a

jump suit.) First aid kit Dramamine

Radar Reflector: Firdell BlipperDifficult to determine how well this works, but it offers some piece of mind, perhaps making the boat at least a little more visible.


Deck Gear Notes Deck LightsBoth foredeck and stern lights are installed, greatly facilitating deck work at night. The stern light may also attract fish, but that is not verified yet.

Granny BarsMake mast work much easier and safer, plus they serve as a handy place to hang extra lines or fenders.

Dorade Vent PlugsThe dorade vents must be plugged when going offshore as large waves can flood the deck resulting in seawater jetting in through the vent openings. The previous owner modified the screw-in mushroom caps but cutting off some of the overhang so the resulting cap becomes a vertical plug that goes straight up from the threads, but still has the top on it. The modified plugs can then slide it in the scoop and be screwed it down.

Drop BoardsThe lower hatch board came with latches to lock it in place. A bungee cord can be made with connectors that attaches to the ladder inside and the padeye in the cockpit and threads through the vents in the upper hatch board that can be used to hold it in place and allow full opening and closing of the sliding hatch. Securing the top drop board is required for ORC regulations.


Galley Force 10 – 3 Burner StoveThe previous owner had a few problems with the Force 10 stove. When they first purchased the boat, they had a problem getting the oven to light, but the Force 10 support people walked him through pulling off the face plate and rotating the pipe that the oven temperature knob is connected to, moving the knob out a very small amount, but enough to allow it to be pushed in (required to light the oven). The oven valve sized on 7/06 and it was a complicated process to replace it. Unfortunately, this was exacerbated by Force 10 shipping the valve, but elect to not include a 10 cent gasket required for installation.

Propane SystemThe HR 46 comes with two propane tanks. Both were replaced by the previous owner to ones that had new valves, but since they were unable to find European sizes in the US, they had to down-size a bit in size and then fashion new hold downs. They added webbing straps that attach to the wall of the propane locker and wrap around the top of the tank to ensure they didn’t move. Unfortunately they didn’t use stainless and the metal strap mounts rusted in to a huge mess. The entire tie-down and dual-valve system was replaced in 2006.

Fireboy Xintex S-2A Propane Detector The previous owner never had a propane leak or related problems, however this system configured so that the solenoid is in-line and in the propane locker where it is somewhat exposed to the elements so it may fail. Spares are required to ensure that the propane system doesn’t become unusable.

Propane Pressure GaugeWe added a dual tank system with a tank selector switch and pressure gauges in the propane locker. Made it easy to see when the tank was empty as well as simple to switch over the new tank without messing with hoses (nice when you are in the middle of preparing a meal.)

Magma Barbeque and Table

Frigoboat Refrigerator/FreezerKEWA has two 24v refrigeration units. Each can be configured as a refrigerator or a freezer. These are very nice systems, as they keep the boxes at a pretty constant temperature (no ups and downs from a holding plate that is either freshly cooled, or getting warm). A RadioShack wireless temperature monitor makes it easy to make sure that the temperature is set properly and that everything is working. On the dial gauges, the higher numbers are colder. The previous owner reported only two problems with them. The first was due to a buildup of marine growth in the cooling water input going to


the condenser. In the warmer waters of the Caribbean, without enough cooling water flowing, the condenser would overheat and shutdown (it has a temp sensor and shuts itself down automatically to prevent damage.) Once it cooled down enough from not running, it would restart itself and run until overheating again. It was difficult to figure out the cause, because it would cool down the ice-boxes, then they would warm up, and so on. Once we cleaned out the hoses (did I mention, carry a very long bottlebrush to clean out hoses) it worked fine. We avoid this now by always leaving the system on to keep water moving through the system and haven’t had the problem since. The second problem we encountered was on the trip down during the rally, when we had electrical problems and had very low voltage on the 24-volt system. At a low enough voltage, the system shut itself down, so make sure your electrical system works. I would use these in any boat I get in the future.

Electrolux MicrowaveVery handy for popcorn, quick meals and thawing frozen foods if you are in a rush.


Heads Electric Flush ToiletsA nice upgrade versus the manual pump units. The previous owner installed inline sanitation devices that use the small blue pucks available from West Marine, but only used these when the boat is not being cruised and the heads were sitting for a week or two without being used. They reduce the smell caused by the saltwater sitting in the intake hoses and growing nasty. It doesn’t eliminate the problem, but helps quite a bit.Carry service kits and extra joker valves for the toilets. And replace the joker valve and remove any localized buildup of calcium about once a year. Also, run whiter vinegar into the system periodically to help reduce calcium buildup.


Water To start with you need a good watermaker.

MT Freshwater AB – MT 3200130 lph/34 gph = 816 gpdImportant features:

Automatic rinse cycle. After each use, it flushes the system with charcoal-filtered freshwater for 20 minutes. Then, each day at a programmable time, it does a 20-minute freshwater flush. This eliminates the need to pickle the watermaker if you are not going to use it for some time (recommended to be weeks, not months). Open the front of the control box using the large 4 plastic screws in the corners. The timer controller is inside.

Redirectable intake and output hoses. Built-in hosing and valves provide for switching the seawater input from the thru-hull over to a hose you can place in a bucket as well as the same for all of the output hoses to switch over to hose into a bucket. This makes cleaning and pickling the watermaker an easy job and not a chore. This is just inside the engine room door on the right, labeled with a diagram showing how to set it.

MT AdviceI recommend you to wait and test whilst out at sea. If there is no alarm of high conductivity, there could still be bacteria that have establish themselves in the storage tanks and pipes. You can make a simple control by sending a sample of the produced water (taken from the tap) to an authorized laboratory. Or just do it the rough way, drink it and see what happens.

Membrane price is USD 475:-/ Membrane type 2540 SWC1 (you would need 2 for MT3200). Plus forwarding freight charges. Two membranes would probably cost around USD 200 by courier. [Note: I believe these membranes are industry standard and can be ordered from other sources via the internet.]

Chemicals are even more expensive to forward, so I have attached their descriptions to this email. If you go to www.ashland.com you will find at reseller I hope in your area.

It could be a little tricky to get the old membranes out, pending on where your pressure vessels are installed. You would need at least 130 cm free space on any side, as the membrane itself is 120 cms long. Or you have to take out both the black pressure vessels and exchange the membranes and put the package back. Also note the end caps (in white plastic) can break if you tight them to much on putting them back. The holes are cone-shaped. But if you are little bit of a handy man, it wouldn’t be too complicated. Only make sure you close down and start up again according to the manual.

MT-3200 WatermakerPer Todd Rickard -- For storing the watermaker, use two clean five gallon buckets (single 10 if you have one).

1. Close the raw (sea) water inlet thru-hull.2. Mix well the compound with the water in the bucket.3. You should then find the service hose that is T'd into the feed line between the

thru-hull inlet and the feed pump. Typically these are in the cabinet that is located in the passageway to the aft cabin, above the engine. Use the feed hose to "suck" the solution into the system, and the discharge hose to bring it back (circulate).

4. If there is a discharge hose that circulates the water back, make sure you leave a gallon or two of space in the buckets for water that is already in the system (nothing like overflowing a bucket of solution into your boat).

5. Run this in circulation for 10 minutes per bucket, or 20 minutes if using one container. If you don't have a return discharge hose, then the solution will flow out of the boat through the discharge thru-hull. This is OK, but not quite as good. Run for the time limit, or until the bucket(s) is(are) empty.

6. As soon as the time limit is done, or solution gone, turn off the pump and close all valves to secure the solution in the system.

7. Ensure that the only pump that runs during this procedure is the low-pressure feed pump. [THIS IS INCORRECT, SHOULD BE THE HP PUMP IS WHAT RUNS wck]

8. This storage compound is typically good for about 5-6 months. Before next use, make sure you flush with either fresh or seawater for 20-30 minutes before attempting to make water.

Per MT Manual1. Close feedwater thru hull2. Close feedwater valve3. Open pressure regulating valve fully4. Turn salinity off = product flow to waste5. One bottle MT8 (or MT5) / 40 liters of carbon-filtered water (to remove chlorine)6. Close flushwater valve7. Start high pressure pump

Dinghy Caribe 10’ RIB, MVP model, which has a V-hull in the front half of the dinghy and a flat bottom to the rear. It also has only a single hull to save weight. It gets up on a plane very fast with our 15hp Yamaha and can even plane pulling someone on a tube with one person in the dinghy. It is also very easy for two people to get on and off the foredeck using a spinnaker halyard.

The dinghy can be lifted on the davits with the motor attached, but should not be stowed that when underway since shock loading could easily exceed the 300lb per arm weight limit on the davits.

When making passages, the dinghy needs to be stored on the foredeck. Fully inflated and upside, with the bow of the dinghy sitting on the windlass and the stern just forward of the halyard bar it fits just fine. Strap the dinghy to the folding padeyes (there are 2 inch black webbing tie downs for this purpose).

There is considerable ground tackle for the dinghy, which makes leaving the dinghy convenient in almost any conditions. The inventory includes a folding anchor with about 20’ of stainless steel chain and 30’ of rode, and a mushroom anchor with about 5’ of chain and 100’ of rode.

The previous owner reports: In very light surf and no tides (Caribbean), we drop the mushroom anchor as we close on the shore and pay out rode until we are almost beached (with the rode fasted to the stern); one person steps out of the bow and takes the folding grapnel anchor on shore (with the rode fastened to the bow.) The stern anchor is made fast to hold the boat about 15-25’ offshore (just outside any surf.) The person on shore can pull the dinghy close in again for the second person to unload and then lets the boat back out (the weight of the stern anchor and rode will pull the boat back out.) The bow anchor is then dropped up the beach and used to pull the boat back in when ready to depart. This keeps you from having to drag a heavy dinghy on and off the beach and reduce wear and tear on the hull from dragging it over rocks and sand. In mexico with more surf and tides, the dinghy wheels are put on when just outside the surf and then motor in until the wheels touch. As soon as the wheels touch, shut off the motor hop off the bow and pull it up the beach. The motor does not go below the wheels so it can be wheeled up the beach with the motor fully down. This really helps when launching as the motor is ready to go immediately.

We use a padlock with the long anchor chain to lock up the dinghy anytime we are in a populated area (no matter how safe we think it is.) We heard report after report of stolen dinghies, not one of which was locked up. You wouldn’t leave your car parked with the keys in it, just because you are in a safe neighborhood would you?

We use antifouling paint on the bottom of the dinghy (the kind made especially for inflatables) and we have a keel-guard (from West Marine) from the external padeye on the bow running down and aft about 6’. The keel-guard stops the usual gelcoat chips you


get from running the bow of the dinghy into things (rocks, docks, boats, etc.) One tip: install the keel-guard first, then bottom paint the dinghy.

PreventerIn the after lazarette on the starboard side, there is a line hanging and it is labeled on the wood as "preventer". I run that from the end of the boom over the lifelines to the opposite side bow cleat then back through the forward jib car to the turning block and up to one of the winches (depending on what sails your flying will determine which winch is free.) There is enough stretch in the line that the boom will come just past center line, but in a fairly controlled fashion. I know others use a much lower strech line, which prevents less movement, but also more likely to break other things.

INMARSAT ConfigMisc. setting notes:Mini-MTo dial out: 00 + Country Code + Area Code + Telephone number + #

001 650-906-2234# The inmarsat serial number is correct for the Mini M portion 76TT0755E6D2.The TT3020CM Transceiver serial number 00205020 is correct for the inmarsat C. On Mini-M: LES should be 002 and POR as the region (002 will cover you around the globe. For the IOR(Indian Ocean Region) you use 871, for the AOR West(Atlantic Ocean Region West) you use 874 and for the AOR East(Atlantic Ocean Region East) you use 873.

For the ezmail setup on the inmarsat-C, default ocean region is Pacific, for the LES it wants one for each Ocean Region, I set them to:

Vickie Vance Parts Comments1. I can handle both Panda and Mastervolt parts - but if you want local

representation: Mastervolt: Romaine Marine in Richmond tel 510 232 19962. You will discover that finding components for 24v systems in the US is not

always easy because they are not so common. Let me know when I can help you with those.

3. Yes - I have the arms to the opening windscreen. If you have polished chrome ones now - they have been changed to a brushed aluminium. I mention this because I need to know if you need port or starboard arm – but if you have the chrome - you may want to change both so they match. You can see these on the webpage under windscreens.

4. Have anchor light bulbs. Do you have the Tricolor with anchor light? It is 24v/10w

5. I do not know of someone in particular for MT on the west coast, however the e-mail address to our distributor in Sweden can help you. They speak english. address: [email protected] ww.enwa.se

Todd RickardFischer Panda partsI definitely need a new external fuel pump plus the parts for a major service including the sacrifcial coolant terminal block, waterpump, the generator front cover & seal, air filter, etc. We carry some frequently used Fischer Panda repair parts here, and also have


service kits. I will check with Chris (my FP tech), and see if we have what you are looking for. Replacement volvo penta engine throttle handle (bow thruster switch integral to handle) This I might have easy access to, as we ordered a couple in this past year. Otherwise you can get from the local Volvo distributor.Replacement anchor light These should be available locally in S.F. It is imperative that you use the one from AquaSignal rather than from Ancor Marine. The AS bulb is much more durable. This needs to be 24vdc. I could get a few of these for you if you have a problem sourcing.VDO "peanut" bulbs. Need both red 12v and red 24v We order these from the local VDO guy, but some can be sourced from a well stocked automotive store. MasterVolt IVO 12/25 chargerUnit appears to never drop down to float voltage (stays at 14.2v) and both the on-unit display and remote display display either garbarge or nothing. I don't know, but I guess I need to replace the whole unit. We can get you a replacement at a fair price, but first check the specific gravity of each cell in the 12v bank. If all appears good then move forward with resetting and testing the charger by:Make sure to carefully disconnect AC and DC leads from the unit, as well as the remote and sensor cables. Reconnect the AC and DC leads only and try the charger without the remote or sensor hooked up. Then try adding the sensor. Last the remote. If it still shows no sign of proper stepping down, we can price out a new one, or send yours to Holland for possible repair. What about a SS protector plate for the deck between the windlass and the stemhead, and also a chain stopper? We have done the SS protector plate on several of the 46's. It can look good and serve it's purpose. The chain stopper is tougher to do, as the height requirement to allow for an undeflected lead is significant. I believe we did it on one, but remember it being a challenge. Do you deal w/ Webasto heaters? Both seem to work okay, but are leaking, out of the front of the units) a fair amount of hot air into the engine room. Is there any service or parts replacement recommended for these units? We do service Webasto, but I would need a better description of where it is leaking to know what action is necessary. Is it where the ducting attaches to the unit, or where the ducting shroud attaches to the body ? You should know that the install on HR's is a bit outside the bounds of what is considered to be an "optimal" installation (too long of exhaust runs, too long of ducting runs, two smaller units - rather than one larger, etc.), and so don't be surprised if you find a tech who wants to re-engineer the system. I wouldn't, but it is helpful to know it's shortcomings.

Stugeron / CinnarizineThere is one OTC medicine available that contains cinnarizine. It is called Stugeron and is used for the control of vestibular disorders such as vertigo, tinnitus, nausea and vomiting, or can be used as a treatment for motion sickness. The recommended dose of Stugeron for vestibular symptoms is 30mg (two tablets) three times daily. For treatment of motion sickness the recommended dose is 30mg two hours before travel, then 15mg every eight hours during the journey if necessary. Dosage for the elderly is the same as for adults. Stugeron should preferably be taken after meals. The BNF recommends label number two – “Warning. May cause drowsiness. If affected do not drive or operate machinery. Avoid alcoholic drink.” While the recommended Stugeron dosage is two tablets two hours before departure with additional single tablets every eight hours, some users report that a pair of tablets an hour or so after departure, in addition to the two taken earlier, suffices for the rest of the passage.

Washing machine: Kenny Euronova 600 washerThe previous owner reported use of laundry services a couple of times. However, they mostly ran frequent loads with this small washer to not build up a backlog of laundry. They also carried a clothes line to rig from the shrouds, around the forestay and back to the shrouds on the other side. They also recommend carrying a large quantity of quality wooden clothes pins.

Swim ladderKEWA has a scoop transom with a folding swim ladder. The folder ladder requires a strap to secure the ladder in the up postion.

SafeAnother piece-of-mind item. Makes a lot of sense to have one.

Helm stepOptional accessory from HR Parts. Installed with a latch to keep the folding support in place when down,\ and a bungee cord to connects to the folding padeye to keep it fully stowed when not in use (the Velcro that comes from the factory doesn’t really work.)

SqueegeeKeep a small squeegee in the cockpit for wiping down the dodger windows when they get splashed.

The Aft LazaretteOn the forward bulkhead on each side, a 1”x2” teak strip is mounted with rope holders every ~8 inches for storage of spinnaker sheets, staysail sheets, and other lines. The bottom of the lazarette is lined with dry-deck. Several milk crates and other plastic storage containers are stored there as well.
