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.

B&G System Notes
- Tips:
**Turn on VHF breaker to get AIS targets on chartplotter **Turn off the chartplotter before turning off breaker
How to:
- Restore sailing (and other) instruments display on chartplotter:
Press top button (pages/home) Press gear icon on left Press ‘network’
Press ‘sources’ Press ‘auto select’ (wait while it sorts things out)
- Restore ‘boat speed’ indications
Press top button (pages/home) Press gear icon on left Press ‘network’
Press ‘sources’ Press ‘boat speed’ Select: ‘ST200’
- Make AIS targets visible on chartplotter
Press top button (pages/home) On left ribbon: press ‘vessels’ Shows list of targets Press ‘display all’ to make them visible on chartplotter
Unresolved issues

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
- Uniden UM525 Fixed Mount VHF Marine Radio
- Owner's Manual: File:Uniden UM525 VHF Radio.pdf
- MMSI Number: 338236803 (assigned via SeaTow)
Magnetic Compasses
There is a magnetic compass which is placed in the starboard lazarette. When it is deployed it is mounted on a small brass rail at the foot of the companionway. The two wires plug into the bottom of the sailing instruments box.
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.
