DOCUMENTATION, REGISTRATION & INSURANCE
A copy of the Insurance record is kept in a pocket in the AYC Gray Manual. All necessary
Ship’s documentation papers, and license are in the AYC Gray Manual. The manual is
located in the lower shelf on the right side of the Nav Station bench.
SHORE POWER
The cord is normally stored in the starboard lazarette (cockpit) locker. The Shore Power
cord is a three-prong "twist lock" plug, with one "L" prong that must be matched with the
receptacle, then "twisted" about one quarter turn. The onboard connection is found on the
transom and is locked in by the same type of twist lock and sealed by the screw-on ring
attached to the plug.
The yacht is equipped with a main 110V breaker switch. It is located at the electric panel
next to the chart table.
The yachts shore power system is a normal 30 amp marine service. Adapter plug units are
under the bench at the chart table.
Important: Be sure that your hands are dry before you touch the 220-volt cable and it’s
terminal connector strip!!
Check to see if there is a switch or fuse box at the dock connection. To connect or
disconnect the Shore Power cord, first make sure the “30 Amp Master Circuit Breaker”
switch on the boat electrical panel and the power switch on the Dock plug box are both
turned OFF. Connect the dock end of the cord first, then connect to the boat receptacle, and
then activate the switch on the dock. If the shore power circuit breaker trips (the polarity is
incorrect) then disconnect the cable immediately. Do not activate the yachts main circuit
breaker until this problem is corrected. Contact the Harbor Master or marina staff and report
the problem to them.
To activate shore power, turn the “30 Amp Master Circuit Breaker” on the electrical panel to
“On” (upper left corner).
It is strongly recommended that the shore power cord be disconnected before leaving the
dock. Power cord is only 50’!!
THE BIG “KILL” SWITCH
Tucked under the Nav Table, above the bookshelf containing this “Grey” book and other
reference materials is a red switch. This will kill all 12V power to the entire yacht except the
Espar Diesel Heater. If you should have an issue on
power to everything, this is the switch! PLEASE use this switch only in case of emergency.
Shutdown the engine before using the “KILL” switch to avoid damaging the alternator.
ESCAPE and feel the need to stop all

ELECTRICAL PANEL
The left side of the electrical panel contains the switches for the AC 110 volt accessories.
The right side of panel contains the switches for all 12-volt circuits such as instruments and
accessories. When connected to shore power both the 110-volt/AC and 12-volt/DC are
operable. When not connected to shore power only the 12-volt systems are operable. We do
not have an inverter aboard this vessel.
To the left of each 12V switch is a light that indicates if the switch is turned on and a push
button circuit breaker. If the switch is in the “on” position but the device does not work,
push the button to reset the breaker.
The Espar Diesel Heater does not have it’s own switch on the electrical panel. Due to the
nature of it’s cool down cycle the on/off switch is located on the wall to the left near the
VHF radio. There is also a push button circuit breaker for this heater located at the battery
terminal under the aft settee bench.
Below the 12-volt switch panel there is a 12-volt ‘cigarette-lighter’ type plug that may be
used for various 12-volt accessories or chargers for items such as laptop computers, etc.
More information about specific switches is contained in the pages to follow.
The 12-volt Panel Switches
When a switch is toggled to the right the power is ON, look for the small green light. When
toggled to the left, the power is OFF. A detail diagram of switch labels is located on the next
page. The following is a list of the switches by number and the order they are on the panel.
1 Anchor Light 9 Bilge Pump
2 Steaming Light 10 Water Pump
3 Tri-colored Navigation Lights 11 Shower Pump
4 Deck Light 12 Refrigerator
5 Cabin Lights 13 Blower (engine room)

AM-FM Stereo Radio Compact Disc Player
The Stereo system is wired directly to the batteries and is not controlled by any switches on
the DC control panel. The Stereo System can be turned ON or OFF by the “Select” button
located in the middle of the faceplate. A copy of the Operation Manual is in the
“Electrical/Electronics” binder. An iPod/MP3 type device can be plugged in using one of the
ports at the lower right hand corner (“11 or 12”). There is also a USB port at the same
location.

CD Player Operation
To insert or eject a CD press the “Release” button (1) to open the flip cover panel; push the
CD into the slot and push the panel closed; the CD will begin to play. To eject the CD open
the cover and press the “EJECT” located on the inside of the panel.
There are four speakers aboard ESCAPE, two in the main cabin and two in the cockpit. To
select either set of speakers press the “AUDIO/MENU” button until “FADER” appears.
Turn the center button (Select) outer ring, FAD F 12 for the cabin speakers or FAD R 12 for
the cockpit speakers. Of course you may select something in between to have sound at both
locations. Use this same “AUDIO/MENU” button to adjust balance, bass & treble. Please
see the manual for the full explanation for using your iPOD / MP3 devices.
BATTERIES
ESCAPE is equipped with two 12-Volt batteries. They are located under the aft starboard
dinette seat. One battery is a “cranking” battery and dedicated to starting the yacht’s engine.
The other battery is a “4 – D” AGM battery. It is dedicated to the yacht’s house 12-volt
electrical system.
Both batteries are maintenance free, sealed batteries. There is no need to add water.
At the top of the 12V Electrical Panel are two LED display’s. Below each display is a push
button for the display. Push the left button and the voltage of the starting battery will be
displayed. Push the right button and the voltage of the house battery will be displayed.
Please check the house battery frequently to gauge your battery usage and necessity to recharge the battery, either by running the engine or plugging into shore power. You may also
monitor battery condition using the “LINK 10” display as described below.
To the right of these displays is a low voltage LED indicator light. It will light up when the
house battery is below 11.2 volts. When you see this light immediately shut off ALL
unnecessary 12V systems and begin charging the battery. When the house voltage drops
below 10.5 volts an automatic shut down of the house 12 V systems will engage and you will
have NO power for anything, including such critical instruments as the depth sounder or
GPS. PLEASE DO NOT LET THE HOUSE BATTERY DROP THIS LOW IN VOLTAGE.
(The reefer will probably be your culprit in running down the battery).
