O’Day 28 Pre-Departure Inspections
Pre-Departure:
1. Read Previous Log Entries, checking for equipment deficiencies and Boat issues.
2. Walk the boat, checking rigging and ensure equipment is in order and in proper location
3. Guests must sign Liability Release Forms
4. Check who has NJ Boating Safety Certificates
5. Give Crew Safety & Boat Operation Briefing (See Note 1)
6. Make Log entry: listing crew, destination, departure time and note any
Boat deficiencies and discrepancies found.
Engine oil, fuel and cooling water pre-start procedures:
1. Engine OIL: Check oil level on the engine using the dipstick before starting engine for the
first time each day (Lift top engine compartment cover, release access panel latches,
remove panel (if necessary remove companion way steps) – dipstick is on left front side
of engine behind raw water pump as you look rearward at the engine). If oil level is at
or just below mark on dipstick it is OK, if level is 1 ⁄ 4 inch or more below mark add
small amount of oil using small plastic cup poring oil through oil fill on top of engine.
This engine only has capacity for 2 1 ⁄ 2 quarts of oil, only add small amounts, wait
several minutes and recheck when adding oil. Do not over-fill. If level is very low, check
engine for traces of leaks, fill to mark on dip stick and run a dock side engine check and
re-check oil level before leaving dock. -- Notify SEAS Dock-master of low engine oil
level.
2. Fuel Filter: Check clear plastic bowl on the bottom of the Racor fuel filter located on
bulkhead on left side of engine compartment (looking aft). Marine diesel fuel is colored
red/orange. Bowl should be one color without any layering or separation. Indication of
water will be on the bottom with fuel on top. If you find indication of water you should
drain it off using black plastic knurled drain on bottom of filter. Drain is connected to
hose going into engine sump. DO NOT DRAIN THE FUEL INTO ENGINE SUMP – USE
A SEPARATE CUP OR BOTTLE - REPORT WATER FOUND IN FUEL TO SEAS
DOCK-MASTER.
3. Fuel, Water, Oil Leaks: Check engine compartment for fuel, oil or water leaks by looking
in the pan under the engine to make sure it is not full of oil, fuel or water. (Note there is
a pad in pan to absorb traces of fuel or oil, but pan should not be full of any liquids.
4. Raw water Strainer: Use a flashlight to shine through the plastic bowl and strainer to
check the basket for seaweed, leaves or other debris. Strainer is secured to bulkhead
on the left side of the engine compartment looking rearward. Do not unscrew top cover
over plastic strainer basket unless you need to clean it as you may lose the water pump
prime. To clean the strainer, lift out the basket screen and clean out debris. Replace
basket in strainer, ensure that the basket is in the center of the container correctly in the
indent on the bottom, fill strainer completely with water and then carefully re-screw
cover over basket. Make sure you do not cross-thread the cover when re-installing it.
5. Fresh Water Tank Level: With the Instruments Circuit Breaker On, Check Amount of
Fresh Water in on-board tank at the Water Gauge located on the Starboard Settee
Bulkhead. Make sure gauge indicates that the tank is ½ full or higher, you will need
fresh water to flush engine when you return to dock. If water level is low use hose on
dock the fill water tank through Water deck fill fitting on Starboard side of boat.
6. Raw Water Seacock: Go back up to cockpit and open cockpit locker hatch. (The lock
key is the same as companionway lock.) Put the lock in the Nav Station drawer after
opening the locker.) Look in the forward inboard area of the cockpit locker. You will
see a seacock handle that shuts off the raw water from getting to the strainer in the
SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)
%
Page 2%of%7
engine compartment. Pull the handle up to open the seacock. In the front of the locker
area you will see the engine key and a yellow tag with “OPEN” on one side and
“CLOSED” on the other. When you open seacock, take key from screw hook and place
in engine panel switch, reverse tag so that it indicates “OPEN”.
7. Fuel Level: With the Instruments Circuit Breaker On, Check the Diesel Fuel Tank Level
using the Fuel Gauge located on the Engine Instruments Panel. If the gauge indicates
the fuel level is below 1/4 level you will need to refuel it yourself or make arrangements
for adding 5 gallons of diesel fuel only by contacting the SEAS Dock-master. Mix one
ounce of conditioner for every 15 gallons of fuel. Adding diesel fuel to the tank while the
boat is in the slip or in the marina is not allowed. (The Perth Amboy Harbor Master says
that Morgan Marina is the closest marina location to buy diesel fuel in New Jersey.)
Shore power, Battery and breaker Checks:
1. 115 VAC Shore Panel: Boat AC voltage panel is located on side of bulkhead under
companionway facing sink. There are two breaker switches (battery Charger is on top
and AC outlets is on bottom), a main breaker switch (up is on, down is off) and two
panel lights (Red –Power to boat; yellow – reverse polarity). Switch Main AC breaker
off. Leave Battery Charger breaker ON. The AC Outlets breaker should only be turned
on when the boat is at the dock and when you want to plug in any AC devices.
2. Shore Power: Lift cover on Shore Power box on dock and switch off Shore Power Main
AC breaker for our shore power cord. Check Red LED light on shore power plug at boat
end to insure power to cord has been turned off.
3. Boat Shore power cord: Unthread black plastic retaining ring around power plug. Unplug
shore power plug from boat. Thread stainless steel cover over plug socket using care
not to cross-thread the cover. It should thread on easily and not require a lot of torque.
4. Coil Power cord: Coil Boat end of power cord and leave it on the dock.
For trips, where you will be going to another marina dock a second power cord is stored
in the Starboard Settee Locker.
5. Battery check: Using battery test switch on 12-volt DC panel and meter on panel, check
voltage on both battery #1 and battery #2. Both batteries should indicate approximately
12 volts. If battery reading is low notify dock master indicating which battery and the
reading observed. (Bilge pump is directly hooked to battery #1, a low voltage could
indicate pump has been running and there are water leaks and/or the AC Charger is not
functioning) (The AC Charger charges both batteries when plugged into shore power
and the engine alternator charges both batteries when the battery switch is set to all).
6. Set Battery Switch: Set rotary battery switch to “ALL”.
7. DC Breakers: Switch on the following 12 volt DC breakers for departure:
1) Instruments, 2) VHF, 3) GPS.
8. Check the bilge for water and check that the float switch is operational by lifting it slightly.
Press the momentary contact bilge switch, on the 12 volt breaker panel, if you wish to
drain water from the bilge.
9. Light breakers: Note location of cabin light breakers, running and steaming light breakers
in case you require these during your trip.
10.Radio: Turn on VHF radio, listen for traffic on channel 16 and also check weather
(channels 1 and 5) before leaving dock. You may also wish to call a boat or marina for
a radio check. The Radio should be set to monitor channels 16, 13, 9 and 22a. The
“Scan” function on the radio is set to monitor these four channels and is activated by
pushing the “Scan” button.
11.Instruments: Remove cover from wheel and check reading on depth instrument, it is
critical that the depth instrument be functioning. The Boat speed/log is not accurate.
You can use the GPS to accommodate these functions. The GPS is installed in the
SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)
Page%3%of%7%
black plastic bracket mounted on the steering pedestal. Leave the GPS installed and
do not disconnect the cable.
Starting engine:
1. Engine controls: The throttle and gearshift controls are located on the binnacle in front of
the wheel on each side of the compass.
2. Throttle control & engine shut down: The throttle control is located on starboard side of
compass. Check operation of throttle by moving throttle control forward and return to
vertical position. Note that the operation of the lever becomes stiff when moved to
vertical position, but can be pulled back further with force, but will not stay in that
rearward position. This forced rearward position is the engine “SHUT DOWN
POSITION”. Never pull back on the throttle lever hard while you are using the engine
or you will shut it down and lose power. To return engine to idle lightly pull back on lever
with a couple of fingers till you feel resistance.
3. Transmission shift control: The transmission shift control is located on port side of
compass. Check operation of shift lever by moving forward for forward gear, back to
vertical for neutral and then backward to reverse position. Become familiar with
forward, neutral and reverse positions of the shift lever so you will recognize what gear
you are in by looking at lever. Always put throttle in idle or close to idle position before
shifting gears. Move shift lever to vertical “NEUTRAL” position before starting engine.
4. Key: Engine key is kept in Cockpit locker on the bulkhead directly above the hot water
heater and should be returned there after returning to slip.
When taking out the key, open the raw seawater value and turn the yellow tag to open.
Key is inserted into the key switch located on the engine instrument panel that is
located under the Starboard Cockpit Locker Hatch. Make sure the shift lever is in
neutral position.
5. Glow plug switch: This boat has a Universal Diesel engine and requires that the glow
plugs be heated to start the engine. Turn the engine key switch counterclockwise to
heat the glow plugs for 10-20 seconds immediately before starting the engine.
6. Start switch: Turn the Engine Key Switch Clockwise one position past vertical. You
should hear the Alarm Buzzer indicating that there is no Oil Pressure in the engine.
Turn the key one more position clockwise and you will engage the starter motor. Hold
the key in this position and the engine should start after a few seconds. Release the
key and the key will rotate counterclockwise back to the ON position. and the starter
motor will be both the start and glow plug switches when the engine starts. Set the
throttle so that the engine idles smoothly at approximately 600 to 800 RPM.
7. Exhaust & cooling water: Look over stern of boat at exhaust pipe in center of transom,
check to see if there is some water spitting out of exhaust along with engine exhaust
gasses. At first you may only see dribbles of water. The engine on this boat recirculates warm water back through the engine and not out the exhaust until the engine
is warm. After several minutes check the analog engine temperature gage, if it reads
120-140 degrees F, look back again at the exhaust, you will notice an increase on the
flow of water but it will always come out in spurts.
8. Engine exhaust pipe: After starting engine open cockpit locker hatch and look just in front
of the seacock at the exhaust hose and the gray fiberglass box it is connected to. Make
sure there are no exhaust gasses leaking from any of the pipe or hose connections.
9. Alternator output: At the engine instrument panel check the Ammeter Gauge and make
sure the needle is indicating a charge to the batteries and not a drain.
10.Engine Temperature Gage: The Universal engine in the O’Day is RAW water (salt
water) cooled. Cooling water is re-circulated back to the pump until the engine reaches
proper operating temperature (140 degrees F), at which time the thermostat opens and
SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)
%
Page 4%of%7
sends the cooling water into the exhaust. As soon as this occurs fresh cooling water is
pulled into the pump and immediately starts to cool the engine. The boat is equipped
with an analog gage on the engine instrument panel. The high temperature alarm will
sound when the engine exceeds 200 degrees F. If the alarm sounds take immediate
action to locate the problem: Check Raw water seacock valve to insure it is open, check
raw water strainer for debris. If you cannot immediately resolve the problem move boat
to a safe location and shut down engine. You may need to anchor or set sails. Lastly
check the raw water pump impeller. If you cannot resolve the problem, Call SEA-Tow
and get towed back to dock. Notify Dock-Master and Maintenance Coordinator and note
in Log. The engine shall not be run in an overheat condition unless the safety of the
boat and crew are in jeopardy (i.e. about to be run down by a barge or tanker)
Leaving the Dock:
1. Check wind and current and plan method of departure
2. Assign departure responsibilities to the crew.
3. Assign one person as spotter in bow to look for other boat traffic and handle the bow
line. Bow person should remain at the ready with a boat pole and if necessary the
anchor should the engine fail or other emergency arise.
4. Assign fender and line handlers on port and starboard sides to fend off the adjacent boat
and bulkhead. Assign Bow, Spring and Stern line cast off responsibilities before
departure.
5. Check to see if the engine is continuing to spit water out of the exhaust.
Very little water will be spit out of the exhaust until the engine is warmed up. Keep
checking while under way.
6. Note: When backing out of the slip Prop Walk will cause the Stern to walk to Port and
the Bow to swing to Starboard. Plan for this to avoid hitting other boats or the dock.
Getting Ready to Sail:
1. When ready to sail, put mainsail up first and then unfurl the jib.
2. After sails are up and the boat is under sail power, Shut down the engine by pulling back
on the throttle beyond the idle position and hold it there until the engine stops. This will
cut off the fuel to the engine and stop it. After engine has stopped turn off key switch
and move transmission lever to reverse position to keep the propeller from rotating.
Never turn the key switch off while the engine is running, as it will damage the
alternator.
3. Battery Switch: With engine off - switch battery switch to match day of month (even day
use #2 battery; Odd day use #1 battery).
4. The mainsheet traveler is adjustable under sail using traveler block adjusting lines and
cam cleats.
5. If you need to furl the jib the furling line must be secured to the cleat on the track. The
single line furler can be used to REEF the Jib as necessary for wind conditions.
6. There are two main sail reefing lines set up that run out of the bottom of the boom at the
gooseneck. They have jam cleat mechanisms there, however you should never rely
totally on these jam cleats. When reefing the main secure the reefing Tack at the
gooseneck before reefing the clew. The first reef grommet is hooked over the horn at
the gooseneck; the second reef is secured by hooking one of the rings attached to
webbing to the other gooseneck horn. Secure a separate line through the reefing Clew
around the boom to insure that the reefing line does not accidentally release and tear
SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)
Page%5%of%7%
out the reefing points. Separate lines or webbing can be used to gather the sail at reef
points along the boom. These lines are hanging from the Port hand rail in the saloon.
%
Preparing to re-start engine or return:
1. Turn battery switch to “ALL”.
2. Move transmission gearshift lever to neutral, throttle lever to idle (both in vertical
position).
3. Turn engine key counterclockwise to Pre-Heat the glow Plugs for 10-20 seconds.
4. Turn key one position past vertical, Alarm will sound.
5. Turn Key clockwise to engage starter motor, Engine should start in a few seconds.
6. Check to see if the engine is spitting water out of the exhaust. Very little water will be
spit out of the exhaust until the engine is warmed up. Keep checking while under way.
7. Furl jib until sheets wrap twice around the sail and secure furling line to cleat at end on
track. Lower main sail and secure with sail ties. Move main halyard to stanchion base
near cockpit.
8. Check wind and current and plan for entry into the marina.
9. Assign bow person to stand by with boat pole and if necessary the anchor in emergency
and to watch for boat traffic.
10.Assign return responsibilities to Crew. Decide on a technique that will be used to dock
the O’Day 28. Assign responsibilities to crew and ensure they know what is expected
of them.
11.When close to the slip reevaluate the chosen docking technique. If it is changed, alert
the crew and reassign responsibilities.
12.The docking conditions include traffic in and around the marina; wind (the bow is swung
by the wind); current (boat will drift with the current – remember this is a fixed keel boat
with a lot under the water line, however there should be little current in the protected
Perth Amboy marina).
After docking:
1. Secure bow, spring and stern lines. DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE.
2. Check fuel level. If the fuel gauge level is below 1/4 full and you cannot refuel, contact
the SEAS Dock-master and the next skipper so that they can plan to refuel. USE
DIESEL FUEL ONLY. Add one ounce of conditioner per 15 gallons of fuel. Fueling is
prohibited on the Dock, fueling up must be done somewhere else. A five Gallon Yellow
container is on board to allow refueling in emergencies.
3. Fresh Water Engine Flush: The boat is equipped with a fresh water engine flush system
that should be used every time the boat is returned to the slip. While the engine is
running at idle and the shift lever is in neutral – remove the engine compartment access
panel and rotate the three way flush lever counterclockwise to the flush position (handle
pointing toward bow of boat). Run engine for one or two minutes and then shut down
engine by pulling back on the throttle beyond the idle position and hold it there until the
engine stops. After engine has stopped turn the engine key switch to the vertical OFF
position and then rotate flush lever to Raw Water position by rotating lever clockwise
(lever pointing toward Starboard). Re-Install the engine compartment access panel.
WARNING: DO NOT TURN KEY SWITCH OFF WHILE ENGINE IS
RUNNING – YOU WILL DAMAGE CHARGING CIRCUIT.
4. Fresh Water Tank Level: After flushing the engine check the level of the water in the
boats fresh water tank at the gauge. If level is below ½ tank, use dock water hose
and fill water tank through the Starboard side deck water fill fitting.
SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)
%

5. Turn off radio and turn off instrument and other breaker panel switches.
Move battery switch to OFF position.
6. Open Port cockpit locker hatch. Close the engine raw water-cooling seacock (Push
handle down). Reverse yellow tag so it reads “CLOSED” and hang engine key on screw
hook.
Connecting shore power:
1. Cord and boat plug: Run shore power cord behind dockside stanchion, under lifelines
and run plug to boat AC plug. Un-thread the cover from forward boat socket (rear
socket is for phone line), line up plug with socket, insert and then twist plug to lock in
position. Screw the black retainer ring to plug outlet. Hang cord from the center
Lifelines with Bungee Cord to prevent it from dangling in the water.
2. Shore plug: Lift cover on shore power box and switch on breaker.
3. Plug power light: Check boat end of power cord, a light indicates that there is power to
the boat.
4. AC Breaker panel: Check for Red power on indicator light and insure that Yellow reverse
polarity warning light is not on (do not leave power hooked up if reverse polarity light is
on).
5. Main AC breaker: Turn on Main AC breaker to power outlets and battery charger.
Leaving the boat:
1. Walk around boat before leaving. Check dock lines and fenders. Make sure dock line
eyes are properly secured to cleats. Make sure Port spring lines are run under the Jib
Furling lines and run straight to cleats without chafing on stanchions.
2. Check for loose rigging.
3. Make sure furling line is secured to cleat.
4. Go below to secure forward hatch, make sure screw dogs are tight so that gasket seals
hatch. Also check window hatches.
5. Check bilge for water, run pump if necessary to pump overboard.
6. Check 12-volt panel and battery switch (all off).
7. Make sure all equipment is stowed where it belongs according to the equipment
schematics and labels.
8. Pack-up any garbage and take ashore with you.
9. Check Engine Raw Water Seacock to make sure it is closed (handle pushed down).
10. Check to ensure the Head seacock is closed.
11. Fill in the log and Keelboat Income form.
12. Get locks from navigation station drawer.
13. Install companionway boards and lock it with lock.
14. Lock the cockpit locker.
15. Return Marina Dock Ramp key to location where you got it from.
SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)

NOTES:
1. The Safety Briefing to the Crew should cover the general hazards associated with sailing
such as: Watching out for the boom, holding on to hand rails when moving about, slippery
decks when wet, not relying on life lines for support, watching fingers around winches and
the traveler, not standing on companionway ladder when underway and not being forward
on deck when tacking. The briefing should also cover the location and operation of all
Safety Equipment and the boat operation including: Life Jackets, Flares, Air Horn, Manual
Horn, Charts, VHF DSC Emergency button, Emergency Tiller, Bolt/shroud Cutters, Life
Sling, Rescue Throw Rope, Throw Cushions, Fire Extinguishers, Tool Box, First Aid Kit,
Seacocks, Sea Cock Plugs, Starting & shutting down engine, Reefing Main Sail, Reefing
and Furling Jib, spare dock lines, raw water strainer, engine raw water seacock, 12 Volt DC
Breaker Panel - Running Lights, Steaming Lights, Bilge Pump, Main Battery Switch, Search
Light, Flash Light, boat poles, emergency knife.
2. The keys to the Companionway and Cockpit Locker locks are the same. Each skipper is
issued a key. Place all locks in the navigation station drawer after unlocking them. Lock up
the cockpit locker and companionway before leaving the boat.
3. During the Summer Sailing Season the Marina Dock Ramp Gate keys may be kept in a
Realtors Key Lock Box on the Marina Property. Only skippers are allowed to retrieve this
key and no non-skippers are to be given the combination information. The restrooms are
locked after office hours; a key to the Marina rest rooms is kept on the boat in the Nav
Station Drawer attached to a lanyard and float.
4. Before departure the Forward Spring Line should be unsnapped from the stanchion and
laid out on the dock behind the piling. If someone is available to hold the boat against the
dock at the dock side Shrouds, the bow-lines and Port Spring Lines can be released and
laid on the dock. The Helms-person can release the Stern Line before the boat moves back
out of the slip.
5. Departure procedures from the slip are at the discretion of the skipper taking wind and
current conditions and the Port prop walk in reverse into consideration. The skipper should
brief the crew on the planned procedure and the roe of each crewmember. From South
facing slips two methods have been successful. 1: Pull boat out of slip using stern spring
line while keeping engine in neutral then drive forward while turning boat between docks; 2:
Pull boat back several feet with stern spring line, drive boat backward in reverse between
docks toward outside wall, turn before reaching wall and drive forward out of marine.
6. Set engine speed using RPM Gauge, desired boat speed and sound and vibration of
engine as a guide. If there is vibration at high rpm, reduce rpm, if there is vibration at idle
increase throttle just slightly until vibration is reduced. As a general rule the speed under
engine power should not exceed five (5) knots. Water current strength and direction as well
as wind strength and direction impact the speed of the boat under power.

SEAS The Day II
VHF Radio Guidelines
STDII is equipped with a Standard Horizon Matrix AIS+ GX2150 Class D DSC Marine
Radio with one button Distress Broadcast Feature. This guide is a summary of it’s
operation.
All Skippers as a minimum are required to monitor VHF Channel 16 while underway.
The speaker located in the cockpit allows the skipper and crew to listen to radio
broadcasts. The radio is equipped with volume and squelch control knobs that should
be adjusted to allow you to clearly hear transmissions. This radio offers different ways
to monitor Channel 16. 1) Set radio frequency selection to Channel 16 by briefly
pressing “16/9” button once or selecting with up or down arrow channel selector buttons.
2). Set the radio to Priority scan mode to monitor all frequencies selected in Memory.
Currently the radio has the following frequencies selected in memory, Channels 16, 9,
13 and 22A. To activate the Priority scan mode press one of the soft keys then press
the SCAN “-“ Soft Key, “P-SCAN” will appear on the display. To turn this feature off
press the “16/9” or “CLR/WX” keys. In the scan mode the radio will monitor all
frequencies that have been selected and stored in memory with priority given to
Channel 16. Skippers are discouraged from adding additional frequencies to the radio’s
memory as these will remain in memory and will continue to be monitored on all sails
after the addition until they are deleted. If you are sailing with another boat and wish to
add an additional frequency such as channel 72 to memory please delete the added
frequency from memory after your sail (see radio manual for this procedure).
Note: The radios microphone is equipped with three controls in addition to “Push-ToTalk” button. On the front of the microphone you will find a “DOWN” and “UP” Arrow
button to change frequency up or down and a “16/9” button to turn off the Priority Scan
feature an instantly switch to Channel 16.
Radio Display: The radio will display the current frequency, function or mode and will
also display location information from the GPS Chart plotter. When frequency channels
are changed the display will show the channel number and standard name for that
channel such as “85 - Marine Operator’, “22A - Coast Guard”, “13 - Bridge to Bridge”.
Weather: The radio allows you to listen to local marine weather broadcasts. Press and
hold the “CLR/WX” button for 2 seconds. The radio will switch to the last Weather
frequency monitored. At Perth Amboy we generally monitor Weather Channel 1. The
radio also has a weather alert monitoring feature that if activated will check the last
Weather Channel used for the broadcast of a weather alert and sound a beep, pressing
any key will stop beep and receive the weather alert report, press “QUIT” soft key to
return to VHF Scanning function.
Digital Selective Calling (DSC) and Emergency Transmissions: The radio is equipped
with DSC capability and has been assigned a registered code. This code is linked to an
information database that list description of boat and contact information. This feature
allows radios to “Call” other equipped radios like a phone and request the position
SEAS The Day II
VHF Radio Guidelines
information of the other radio. This feature also has a “Push One Button” automatic
Distress Broadcast Capability that is monitored by the Coast Guard Rescue 21 program.
When the Distress Feature is activated the location of the boat is transmitted along with
the distress message and radio identification code. To issue a distress call flip up the
Red Distress Button Cover and depress and hold the Red Distress Button. The radio
display will count down 3-2-1 and then transmit a distress call. When the Coast Guard
acknowledges receipt of the distress call the radio will switch to channel 16, The you
should press the PPT mike switch and clearly speak into the microphone: State Your
Name, Vessel Name, Number of Persons on Board and distress situation, Then say
“over” and wait for a reply from the Coast Guard.
SEAS O’Day 28 Head
Operating
Guidelines
1. The Holding Tank is located under the V Birth in the forward cabin. It is visible by
removing the wood access panel under the V Birth Cushions. The tank level can be
determined by visual inspection. Each skipper should check how full the tank is to insure
it can be used for his/her cruise
2. The holding tank should be pumped out before the trip if the level is higher than ½
tank height.
3. The raw water seacock is located under the Port side Saloon Berth and must be
opened to operate the head.
A few general usage rules:
1. Don't throw anything in the head that doesn't come out of you, this includes toilet
paper, which should be placed in Zip-Lock Plastic Bags and thrown away with garbage
after each sail.
2. Always use the shore facilities when available. The boat's head should only be used
for emergencies, or on long cruises (all day, or overnight)
3. Each skipper is responsible for briefing the crew about the proper use of the head.
4. Each skipper is responsible for following the usage and pump-out policies.
Simple steps for using the head:
For urinating:
1. Start with the valve in the closed (dry) position, which means that the bowl only pumps
out. No water is pumped in. This is where it should have been left when the last person
used it. Rotate pump handle 90 degrees to vertical un-locked position.
2. Do your business. If used, use a separate zip lock bag for soiled toilet paper.
3. With the valve still closed pump out the liquid
4. Put the valve in the open (wet) position and pump a few times to sparingly rinse the
bowl.
5. Put the valve in the dry position and pump out most of this rinse water, leaving just
enough at the bottom of the bowl to provide a "water seal" against smells. Leave the
valve in the dry position and rotate pump handle 90 degrees to horizontal locked
position.
For defecating:
1. Start with the valve in the closed (dry) position. Rotate pump handle 90 degrees to
vertical un-locked position.
2. Put valve in the wet position, pump just a little bit of water into the bowl, and close the
valve again. This will wet the bowl and leave a small amount of water at the bottom of
the bowl, both of which will help reduce the amount of "smearing" on the bowl (smearing
will require extra water to rinse off the bowl, so we want to minimize it).
3. Do your business. Use a separate small plastic zip-lock bag for soiled toilet paper.
4. With the valve in the closed position, pump out the contents. Consider taking a little
bit of toilet paper and wipe any smears manually. This will save rinse water.
5. Put the valve in open (wet) position, and pump in water sparingly to rinse. Close the
valve and pump out. Repeat if necessary.
6. Leave valve in closed (dry) position when finished and rotate the pump handle to the
horizontal locked position.
SEAS O’Day 28 Boat Emergency Procedures
!"
1. Engine Failure or Overheat, Fowled Prop:
a. Safe open waters outside shipping channel: Drop and set Anchor to stop boat while you
assess problem and identify corrective actions.
b. Un-safe location or inside shipping channel: Re-deploy sails to be able to steer boat to
safe location or to continue on course while assessing problem and corrective actions.
c. If unable to correct problem call Sea-Tow and get towed back to slip.
2. Engine Exhaust leak: Shut down engine, ventilate Cockpit locker, Call Sea-Tow for tow back
to slip.
3. Steering failure:
a. Cable or sprocket chain failure: Remove rudder shaft cover (requires Philips
screwdriver) and install Emergency Tiller (located in cockpit locker). Return to slip.
b. Loss of rudder: Deploy anchor, call Sea-Tow and get towed back to slip.
4. Hull leak, Hull Puncture, Taking on water:
a. Locate leak, Plug leak or slow water intrusion using emergency foam plug, boat cushion
wedged on inside of hull and/or Dacron panel secured to outside of hull over puncture.
Use electric and manual bilge pumps and buckets if necessary to get water out of boat.
b. Notify Coast Guard by VHF radio of the problem and boats location and advise them if
boat and crew are in danger. If assistance is needed call Sea-Tow. If unable to stop
leak try to proceed or get towed to nearest marina with haul out capability (such as
Morgan Marina on Cheesquake Creek) and get boat lifted out of water.
5. Standing Rigging Failure: Try to immediately reduce load on mast carried by failed rigging.
This may require an immediate tack or turn down wind or into the wind. Get sails down as
quickly as possible to reduce load on mast. Try to temporarily take up load carried by broken
rigging using the Mainsail or Jib halyard attached to a stanchion base or cleat on deck.
Secure any loose or broken rigging to prevent injury to crew or damage to boat.
6. Running Rigging Failure: Try to immediately reduce load carried by line by heading up wind
to eliminate load on sails.
a. Mainsheet: Head up wind, use spare dock line to secure boom while lowering mainsail.
b. Jib sheet: Tack to transfer load to lazy sheet, furl jib using lazy sheet to secure jib.
c. Topping Lift: Head up wind, slowly lower mainsail and boom and secure to cabin top.
d. Outhaul: Head up wind, lower mainsail.
e. Jib Furler Line: Head up Wind and drop Jib and secure to deck.
