Propeller

3 blade Gori feathering propeller. File:Mashnee gori prop.pdf

Folding the Propeller

put the gear shift in reverse when the engine if off. locks the shaft and ensures the propeller folds and does not spin. Then return the lever back into neutral.

= Normal Ahead

If you want to shift from "overdrive" to normal/forward position, the lever will have to be put into neutral when the boat does more than 1 knot ahead until the blades have folded again, then put it in the forward position again. If the propeller is spinning with the engine in neutral, you must go gently in reverse, while the boat is moving forward. After the propeller has been going in reverse for a few seconds, you can go back to neutral and the propeller will have folded and the shaft stopped. when you back to forward, the propeller will be in normal ahead. Before leaving the harbor, always check the position of the propeller by means of the boat's tachometer so that the propeller is in the wanted position.

Going Astern

in the reverse position the blades swing 180 degrees opposite the forward position which ensures the same blade leading edge and profile, resulting in high-efficiency. If the boat has not been used in some time, you should shift cautiously between forward and reversed a few times before sailing in order to clean the teeth of the blades and the gears from fouling.

Going Ahead in Overdrive

In order to position the propeller in forward "overdrive" it is necessary to move the boat astern so that the blades are kept in reverse position when the lever is put into forward. Do not try to make the propeller go from forward to "overdrive" position by quick shifts with the lever when the boat is sailing ahead in the water.

Muffler

Fuel System

20 Gallon diesel fuel tank.

When the tank is full, the fuel gauge reads "F". When the tank is 10 gallons down, the fuel gauge reads "E". The gauge seems to be non-linear and should not be relied upon for accurate measurement of the fuel tank.

Fluids and Filters and Impeller

  • Engine Oil: 15W-40
  • Engine Oil Filter: volvo penta 3840525
  • Racor Fuel filter: R12P

    • Turn off the chartplotter before turning off breaker

How to:

  • Connect to the H5000 Webserver to adjust settings, perform calibration, etc.
    • Connect to wired ethernet connection with your computer
      • Set your laptop to a manually assigned IP for computer of 192.168.0.1

Unresolved issues

  • CP forgets configuration items, as above

All the manuals are here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l30jp60jf8nvmqk/AAAtzo6MZP3bd7fXsHzRiP9La?dl=0

Chartplotter MFD

B&G Zeus 3S WIFI: B&G Zeus 3s streams both NMEA 183 and NMEA 2000

  • Zeus 3s: SSID: <zeus something…>
    • PW: S4XGzxx9
    • NMEA 183 stream 192.168.76.1 port 10110
      • Streams AIS targets and instrument readings

B&G H5000 Hercules CPU

Wind

B&G WS310.

Depth Sounder/Log/Water temperature

ST200 speedo and temperature Echosounder for depth

AHRS

NMEA 2000 network

There is a standard NMEA 2000 network with most connections behind the false panel in the aft-most port cupboard (above the ice box). There is an additional set of connectors in the forward compartment just to port of the mast. There is one free port at the mast.

Radar

B&G Broadband 4G Radar

AIS Transponder

  • Vesper Marine XB-8000 Class-B AIS Transponder. As of Aug. 2019, it is installed behind the VHF in the forward compartment. The WiFi network and password are written on the unit.

To connect to NMEA 183 stream with AIS targets: 192.168.15.1 port 39150

Radios

Fixed VHF

Magnetic Compasses

There is a magnetic compass which is placed in the starboard cockpit locker. When it is deployed it is mounted on a small brass rail at the foot of the companionway.

Note, this compass cannot be trusted. Compasses do not take hard knocks well, and there is no guarantee that its placement is not in a magnetically pathological location. This compass can be used for relative heading hold, e.g. maintaining a number. However, the absolute values are not to be trusted at all. [KDS]

Galley

Stove

The stove is an Orico-style alcohol stove. Alcohol does not burn as hot as propane so it takes longer to cook.

To operate the stove, remove the wooden plate and place it above, where the metal underside will serve as a heat deflector.

The top of the stove needs to be open to reveal the metal canister underneath. There is a black rubber disk which seals the canister and keeps the alcohol from evaporating. Remove this.

Ensure that the stove dial is turned to the on position, and then the stove can be lit with a lighter or match.

The stove is extinguished by turning the dial fully off, and then replacing the rubber disk and the wooden cover.

Ice Box

  • There is a sump under the ice box to collect the meltwater. This sump can be emptied via the salt water foot pump for the sink if the cross-flow valve underneath the sink is switched. The valve has a pointer on it and the pointer must point up (12:00) for sump drain and to the right (3:00) for the salt water intake.
