Page 5 – Electrical System

Electrical System Treasure VI has ample power with an easy to use system with separate power supply

for the house and engine.

The vessel also utilises 240v shore power when in the marina for battery charging. A

240v battery charger and isolation switch is located under the navigation table.

No battery switches should be touched during charter unless in an emergency or

advised to by base.

All electrical lights and appliances are controlled from the circuit breaker switches at the

main electrical panel.

The batteries are recharged by the engine and the level of charge is indicated on the

gauges on the switch panel.

Although this provides ample power it is necessary to keep power consumption down

by turning off lights or appliances when not in use.

Because Treasure VI has a totally separate engine battery system you will always have

power to start your engine even when the house batteries are very low.

Should the house batteries require recharging the engine should be started and run at

about 1500 RPM.

Recharging will take 3 hours and requires nothing more than an engine speed of about

1500 RPM.

If, after 3 hours of engine operation, further recharging is indicated, contact Base.

Treasure VI has an engine starting battery situated under the port aft cabin berth.

Normal motoring will be sufficient to recharge it and you should always be able to start

your engine to recharge your house batteries.

The house batteries are situated under the port saloon seats. They are charged by the

engine while motoring or by running the engine at anchor.

Isolation switch for the engine battery is located at base of aft cabin berth. The house

battery isolation switch is located under the navigation table

Note - the engine must be run a minimum of two hours daily

(60 minutes during the day and 60 minutes after 3pm) to charge the house batteries

and maintain refrigeration.

Page 6 – Electrical System

Electrical System

Battery Monitor The battery monitor is situated on the main electrical panel. It shows how much power is left in your house battery. It also shows when you must recharge your battery - just like a fuel gauge. When your electrical monitor is in the red and green striped zone it is time to recharge. The battery is most efficient when recharged before it passes this level, which is half charged.

Any power you use has to be replaced and you should monitor your house battery

condition to ensure it is kept charged. Heavy power consumption will require you to

replace the power used by running your engine for longer periods. The battery

volt/minder will sound an alarm when battery power drops below 12 volts. Press ON to

activate until and OFF to mute alarm.

Shore Power When in a marina the 240v shore power lead should be connected to an outlet on the marina and to the vessel inlet in the cockpit locker. Circuit breakers for the 240v system are located in the cockpit locker and under the navigation table.

CD and Radio To operate ensure the VHF/Stereo switch is on.

The CD Player is compatible with CDs in MP3 format.

Page 7 – Radio

VHF Radio

Treasure VI is equipped with a Raymarine VHF radio.

* Ensure the VHF/Stereo switch is on at the main panel.

* Turn the radio on, select the channel, and adjust squelch to stop static.

* Cumberland will call you at 9.30am and 2.30pm on Channel 81 or 82. At all other

times contact base on either Channels 82 and 81.

* When talking to another vessel use channel 11 (eleven) or 08 (zero eight).

* Detailed instructions are on the Cumberland Charter's radio instruction sheet.

Radio Schedules

Charterers are required to answer radio schedules twice daily on Channel 81 and 82 at

9.30am and 2.30pm.

If reception is bad try Channel 82 in northern waters.

You must be in contact with base twice daily or you will be liable for search costs

involved in locating you and your vessel.

Page 8 – Navigation Instruments

Navigation Instruments

Treasure VI is equipped with instruments which gives you boat speed, depth of water

and wind speed and direction.

Do not adjust these instruments as damage can occur to sensitive electronics if used

incorrectly.

There is no need to adjust any settings by using the buttons on the instruments.

Note: Never rely solely on the sounder when moving in shallow water or when

anchoring. The depth reading on the sounder is depth under the keel - not ahead

of you.

A crewman should look for coral from the bow and the vessel should manoeuvre very

slowly.

Remember that the instruments are electronic and incorrect use of buttons can cause

false displays or damage.

Page 9 – Engine

Engine

Treasure VI is powered by a Volvo 30HP diesel and cruises at six knots at 2200 revs.

One 83 litre fuel tank gives a cruising range of 200 miles or 35 hours running.

To Start Engine

1. Select neutral with gear lever in central position.

2. Flick ignition switch down to "start".

3. Push start button.

To Engage Gears

Move the throttle to central position and red button will automatically pop out. Move the

throttle lever forward to forward gear and back for reverse.

Always pause at neutral for a few seconds when changing gears.

To Disengage Gears

To disengage the gears for battery charging, select neutral, press in the red button at

the base of the lever and push the lever forward to increase revs to 1200 to 1500.

To Stop Engine

1. Select neutral.

2. Hold ignition switch up.

3. Release switch when engine has stoped.

Checking of oil and coolant in the engines is not necessary during your charter unless a

problem occurs.

It is a good idea to check there is adequate cooling water coming from the engine

exhaust after starting.

An audible alarm will sound at the engine control panel if the motor has a fault.

If an engine alarm sounds while engine is still running

* Stop the engine.

* Call Cumberland Base for advice and assistance.

Page 10 – Windlass

Windlass Treasure VI is fitted with an electric anchor winch, 60 metres of chain and a CQR type

anchor.

The winch raises the anchor when the UP switch is pressed and lowers the anchor

when the DOWN switch is pressed. Always run the engines when using the winch.

The circuit breaker is located under chart table and should be in the ON position. If the

winch is overloaded the circuit breaker will trip. Push the switch up to reset.

To Lower The Anchor

1. Select your location from the 100 Magic Miles and check water depth and tidal

movement. Stop the vessel with the bow into the wind.

2. Calculate 4 x depth and with the tender alongside press the DOWN switch.

3. When the required length of chain is released (minimum 30 metres) allow the vessel

to lay into the wind.

4. If the anchor doesn't hold let out a further 10 metres of chain and try again.

To Lift The Anchor

1. Open anchor locker hatch and make sure the chain doesn't stack up.

2. Motor very slowly forward, so the chain is vertical. Press the UP switch. Don't over

run the chain and make sure chain comes up vertically. Keep the skipper informed

so the vessel moves ahead only as fast as the chain is retrieved.

3. The windlass is designed to lift the weight of the chain and anchor only. Do not

overload it by pulling the boat forward.

* CAUTION - If the anchor is snagged in rocks or coral and you try to break it free

don't let this load go through the winch. Use the snubber or secure the chain to the

main bollard.

* Ensure the chain is falling into locker easily. If the chain stacks up you will have to

rectify the situation by pushing the chain aside.

* Always leave the chain slightly loose and don't snub the anchor hard onto the roller

to avoid overloading the windlass.

WARNING

When using a windlass, it is important to keep your fingers and toes well away from the

teeth of the windlass and the chain as it passes over the bow roller, as accidentally

trapping them could cause serious injury.

Keep your fingers and toes away from the chain as it passes over the bow roller.

Emergency Manual Anchoring ONLY

To Release Chain

Carefully release the gypsy by turning it anti-clockwise with the winch handle.

As soon as the gypsy is free the chain will run out so do this slowly.

Do not touch the deck switches and keep your fingers away from the winch.

If the gypsy does not release it might need a gentle tap to break it free.

You could also manually pull the anchor forward and lower it into the water for a few

metres.

* Once the anchor is falling freely regulate its descent by tightening the gypsy with the

handle.

* Check the 10 metre chain markers after 30 metres to ensure you let out four times

the depth of water in chain. (12 metres depth is your maximum for anchoring).

* Move the vessel slowly astern downwind as the anchor chain goes out.

* When you have enough chain out tighten the gypsy to stop the chain.

* When the anchor is set attach the snubber and let out the chain so the snubber takes

the load.

* Retighten the gypsy.

CAUTION - Do not overtighten the gypsy. Use only one hand on the handle and about

10 kilograms force. If it slips tighten it slightly.

Page 12 – Moorings

Mooring Procedures Public Moorings

When approaching a public mooring, position the vessel so that it’s downwind of the

mooring and approach the mooring with the wind coming directly at you.

Remember to have the dinghy on the davits during this manoeuvre. Mono hulls Dinghy

alongside.

Station a crewmember on the bow with the boat hook and when the vessel is in position

the crewmember can pick up the mooring line with the boat hook.

The helmsman should take directions from the crewmember when approaching the

mooring.

Feed the mooring line over the spare bow roller, but under the life lines. Attach it to the

largest cleat available.

Or use the dedicated Mooring Strop that attaches cleat to cleat (As per briefing).

WARNING! The Mooring line should never be attached to the Anchor Winch, the Anchor

Bridle or the Anchor Snubber.

When releasing moorings the vessel should be reversed until clear of the mooring buoy

and rope.

ONLY when you can see the buoy and pick up line then should you motor forward to clear

the mooring line in the water. Remember to have the dinghy on the davits during this

manoeuvre. Mono hulls Dinghy alongside.

Public Mooring Cumberland or private Mooring

Cumberland and Other types of Moorings The procedure for using these moorings is the same as public mooring except that they

are fitted with a smaller pickup buoy, which is attached to the main Mooring Chain.

Pickup the small buoy, haul the chain onboard and attach the Chain over the cleat.

Page 13 – Refrigeration

Refrigeration

Treasure VI has a chest 12 volt electric fridge, which is powered from the normal engine

operation and battery charging.

The diesel motor must be run at least three hours each day to charge the house battery

system.

Fridge

To operate ensure the switch marked REFRIGERATION is turned on at the electrical

panel.

Make sure you replace power used by running the diesel motor or plugging into shore

power when you visit Hamilton Island or Abel Point Marina.

If your house battery is very low it is best to turn the fridge off while recharging for a

faster recharge.

The fridge should be turned off at night. The insulation will ensure your provisions are

kept cold until the fridge is run again the next morning.

Page 15 – Fresh Water, Showers and Hot Water.

Fresh Water

Treasure VI has a 240tre freshwater capacity for domestic services. There is a 160 litre

forward tank and an 80 litre aft tank

The pressure pump is located under the galley sink and changeover valve for the

forward tank is located under the starboard salon berth and the aft tank valve is located

in the bathroom hanging locker.

Change over to the aft water tank by closing the forward tank valve and opening the aft

tank valve. Change to the aft tank only when required.

Should the tanks become completely empty the pump must be switched off to prevent

damage to the pump.

An empty tank must be switched off to stop air entering the system.

You will need to purge the air from the system when changing tanks. Do this by

opening the taps to purge the air out of the lines.

Make sure the pump turns off when taps are off.

Turn the WATER PUMP switch off at the electrical control panel.

Deck filler caps for each tank are located on starboard side forward and aft.

Showers

Treasure VI has two showers, one in the starboard bathroom and a deck shower on the

inside transom in the cockpit.

Deck Shower

To operate ensure the FRESH WATER PUMP switch is on at the switchboard.

When finished - turn everything off again.

Hot Water Service

The hot water service is located in the aft cockpit locker. The engine heats up your hot

water and stores it here warm for up to 12 hours.

Before using the internal shower ensure the FRESH WATER PUMP and TOILET

switches are on at the switchboard.

Dehler 34 - Treasure VI

Page 16 – Toilet and Holding Tank

Toilet and Holding Tank Treasure VI has an electric MACERATING toilet which is permanently connected to a holding tank. Toilet waste is treated by maceration when you flush it. It is then discharged into the sea via the holding tank.

IMPORTANT! When you are visiting a MARINE PARK “B” zone (Green Zone) or a Marina you must

not discharge even treated waste from the toilet. To comply with government

regulations - turn the large valve located under the floor of the hanging locker in the

bathroom to the VALVE CLOSED position to prevent waste from discharging. When

you depart the GREEN ZONE or marina and are 1km clear of land and reefs swing the

valve to the VALVE OPEN position. The holding tank has a limited capacity and is only

designed to hold waste generated over a 24 hour period. It therefore has to be emptied

regularly.

Valve in Open position

Only human waste and toilet paper can be put in the toilet. Sanitary pads, tampons or panty liners, kleenex etc.

Baby Wipes.

Washing cloths.

ALL of these waste items must be disposed of in the rubbish as they will block and

damage the system.

Ensure all crew-members know how to use the toilet properly because a blocked toilet

can spoil your holiday!!

Operation After use ensure flush button is pressed for at least 10 seconds.

If the toilet is blocked - call Cumberland Charter Yachts.

If the toilet is blocked during charter as a result of misuse, there will be a charge to get

the blockage cleaned out, the vessel will need to be returned to CCY base to clear the

blockage.

Page 17 – Bilge Pumps

Bilge Pumps

Electric System

Treasure VI has an easy to use system of bilge pumps.

There are two electric bilge pumps. Pump 1 is located in the bilge under the saloon

floor and pump 2 under the galley sink cupboard.

Pump 1 is activated by a float switch and will operate automatically if there is excessive

water in the bilge. This pump can be operated manually by the control switch located

under the chart table. The switch has three positions – Auto, Off, On.

In the AUTO position the pump operates via the float switch and should be left on auto

for normal operations.

In the OFF position the pump is isolated and will not operate.

The ON position bypasses the float switch and should ONLY be used if there is

excessive water in the bilge and the pump has not operated automatically. The pump

will burn out if run dry.

Pump 2 is a back up pump operated via a switch on the switchboard. (It is a high

volume pump and is for EMERGENCY use only!)

A high water alarm is also installed in the bilge. It will sound if there is excessive water

in the bilge and the pump has not operated automatically.

Manual System

The manual pump is situated in the cockpit on the starboard side transom.

The pump handle is located on the underside of the cockpit locker lid.

The manual pumps need to be operated quickly for at least 30 seconds to prime the

pumps and purge the air.

Once they start to suck water the action can be slow and steady.

Shower Bilge

The TOILET switch on the electrical control panel should be left on.

When using the shower, press the black button on the vanity. This will operate the

shower bilge pump and ensure the shower water is pumped away.

Do not allow shower water to accumulate above the floor level.

Page 18 – Manoeuvring and Steering

Manoeuvring and Steering

When moving in a marina or a confined anchorage at slow speed you will have to use

your engine to steer.

Treasure VI steers easily at idle speed in forward gear. When moving astern the yacht

will move to starboard before it responds to the rudder when you reach 2 knots.

When engaging reverse PAUSE before using revs so reverse lock engages properly.

Always ensure the tender is alongside and secured fore and aft when manoeuvring. Or

if moving astern trail it from the bow.

The best place to learn how your vessel manoeuvres is when you have plenty of space

at an anchorage. Familiarise yourself there before entering a marina. Engage reverse

and test the vessel's response when it reaches 2 to 3 knots.

Before you approach a berth have your fenders down, almost touching the water. The

loops on the mooring ropes should be attached to the deck cleats with the ropes under

the lifelines and ready to throw.

In strong winds use extreme care when moving to a marina berth. Don't reverse into a

berth. Approach the dock slowly but ensure you are moving steadily to retain good

steerage. Make sure you know which side of the dock you will be tying up to. Don't be

afraid to ask marina staff for assistance if required.

The tender can be used as propulsion for the vessel if you need to manoeuvre and an

engine has run out of fuel or failed.

Tie the tender securely fore and aft towards the stern of the vessel and have a crew

member operate the outboard to the skipper's instructions.

Make sure the outboard is in the locked down position so you can use it in reverse.

THIS IS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY AND CAN ONLY BE DONE IF INSTRUCTED BY

CCY BASE.

Page 19 – Sails

Sails

Treasure VI has a roller furling headsail and a slab reef mainsail. Always head into the

wind when raising or lowering the mainsail.

Headsail

To set the headsail -

1. Release furling line at jammer.

2. Pull on the headsail sheet rope to unfurl line.

3. Lock off furling rope cleat when you have set enough headsail.

4. To furl sail away - release tension on sheet rope and pull the smaller furling rope.

Lock off cleat when sail is fully rolled in.

When furling the headsail head off the wind to stop the sail from flogging.

Never use a winch on furling lines as damage to the forestay may result.

Never release tension on mast headsail halyard which is secured with plastic ties.

This is only released when removing the sail for maintenance.

Close hatches when sailing to avoid damage if a rope catches on hatch.

Mainsail

Treasure VI's mainsail should be reduced to the first reef point when winds reach a

constant 15 knots on the wind instrument and on the second reef point when the wind

reaches a constant 20 knots.

Do not use the mainsail if the winds exceed 30 knots. In heavy weather conditions it is

best to motor or motor/sail with a minimum amount of headsail.

To Raise the Mainsail

1. Unzip the mainsail cover.

2. Move vessel slowly straight into the wind by using the motor.

3. Release the mainsail sheet rope in the cockpit.

4. Release reef lines and vang at jammers on cabin top.

5. Raise the mainsail by pulling on the mainsail halyard by hand. If using the winch

make sure the sail does not jam in the track or on the lazy jacks.

To Reef the Mainsail

1. Raise or lower the mainsail to the first reefing mark on the halyard and cleat it.

2. Tension down the first reefing line using the winch until mainsail luff is tight and leech

pulled down to the boom.

3. Use the same procedure for the second reefing point.

To Lower the Mainsail

1. Steer the vessel into the wind and cleat mainsheet. Ensure the leech is pulled bow

to the boom, check that topping lift is tengt enough to prevent boom hitting the

dodger. Release the halyard to drop mainsail. Most of the mainsail should fall into

the sail cover and the rest can be pushed in by hand. Using the motor will assist you

in steering into the wind. Zip up the mainsail cover.

Page 20 – Tender and Outboard

Tender and Outboard

Treasure VI has a tender powered by a 6hp Yamaha Outboard.

To Start Motor

1. Lift motor slightly and release tilt lock on the rear starboard side of the motor and

lower outboard into the water.

2. Prime the squeeze bulb in fuel line if necessary until it is hard.

3. Pull out the choke knob.

4. Ensure gear lever is in the central or neutral position.

5. Twist throttle handle 10 degrees to low throttle setting.

6. Pull starter cord.

Push choke in as soon as motor starts.

Do not continue to pull starter cord with the choke out.

To engage gears move gear lever forward or back at low idle revs.

To stop outboard press red button.

It is easier to operate the motor with left arm.

Always have tender alongside for easy access when manoeuvring or anchoring.

Have the tender behind the vessel at full length ONLY when towing.

Outboard

The Yamaha outboard has a rubber bushed propeller which will shear if the propeller

hits a rock or coral. You should therefore exercise due caution when operating in

shallow water. It is best to stop the outboard, tilt it up and proceed with the paddles.

Page 21 – Tender and Outboard

Tender

The inflatable tender is also a liferaft for Treasure VI.

It has two separate bladders, one in each side, with air filler caps should they require

refilling.

The air pump is in the cockpit locker.

Do not over inflate. If the hulls are inflated with cold air at night they will expand in the

heat of the day.

When opening the valve caps always ensure the plastic surround does not turn.

If this is loose a washer inside the hull can be displaced, causing loss of pressure.

If your Tender deflates contact Base because further use will puncture the bladder and

cause further damage.
