R. NAN SEA JEAN UPDATE 2016 33

A. Introduction

The Nan Sea Jean is an Ocean Alexander 43 motor vessel built in 1983 by Alexander

Marine Co., Ltd at Kaohsiung, Taiwan, ROC. She has a displacement of 30,000 pounds

with a length of 42 ft 8 in overall, 38 ft 2 in on the waterline, a beam of 14 ft 6in, and a

draft of 3 ft 6 in. She has twin Lehman 120 hp diesel engines with two 25.5 in. props on

2 in. diameter shafts.

The Nan Sea Jean is a tri-cabin trawler with a spacious aft cabin that includes a walk-

around queen bed, lots of storage, a full size shower and private head. The main salon

has a 7-ft settee on the port side and an L-shaped settee on starboard, with a free

standing dining/coffee table. The engine room is below the main salon. The galley is

forward of the main salon down 4 steps where there is a dinette table with booth seating

to starboard of the galley. The forward cabin has 2 bunks to port and a ½ head to

starboard. The heads are vacu-flush.

There is a helm station in the lower main salon, forward on the starboard side and

another helm station on the flying bridge. There is ample deck space above the aft

cabin and the main salon, with room for deck chairs and a small table on the bridge.

The dinghy is kept on davits on the aft swim platform.

B. Boat Operation

Engine Inspection

The Nan Sea Jean has two Ford Lehman 120 hp diesel engines, model no. 2715E. The

oil check dip sticks are located on the inboard side of each engine. Remember to check

your “WOBBS” every morning: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Pump-out),

Belts and Sea Strainer.

Before starting the engines,

Check the level of OIL in each engine by checking your dipsticks located on the

inboard side of each engine. Look at the etch marks on each dipstick that

indicate the proper oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL OIL! Only add oil if oil levels are

below the ½ way mark, which indicates that a quart of oil should be added.

Please use a paper towel or oil rag to check the oil levels, not the dish towels!

Check the general condition of the BELTS, HOSES, and FUEL LINES

Observe the glass of each RAW WATER STRAINER for debris. If necessary,

close the seacock, open the strainer cover being careful not to lose the sealing

washer under the wing nut, clean the strainer, and reassemble. Use a bucket to

rinse and clean the strainers; discard debris appropriately. Remember to reopen

the seacock

Ensure the valve on each RAW WATER THRU-HULL is in the ‘open’ position

(lever in-line with valve)

Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion tanks

Check the generator oil and coolant levels after using the generator.

Engine Startup Procedure

Before starting the engines, do your WOBBS inspection described above. Normally,

plan to start the port engine first.

1. Place the BATTERY SWITCH to START, check that the autopilot is off or on

Compass mode. Note: do not move the battery switch when the engines are

running.

2. Place the TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVERS (black knobs) in the NEUTRAL

(straight up) positions and run the THROTTLE LEVERS (red knobs) up and

down and leave near the IDLE (aft) positions

3. Turn IGNITION KEY on for the engine to be started, the oil pressure warning

buzzer will sound. Start only one engine at a time

4. Press the START BUTTON for no longer than 10 seconds and give the engine

some fuel with the throttle. Release the button when the engine starts. If the

engine does not start after 10 seconds, release the start button and wait a few

seconds before attempting to start the engine. If the engine does not crank over,

check that the corresponding SHIFT LEVER in the neutral position. Engines will

not crank if transmissions are not in neutral.

5

5. After starting the engines, idle the engines at about 800 to 1000 rpm for at least 5

to 10 minutes to warm up the engines; check that oil pressure registers and that

both alternators are charging and both engines have RPMs.

6. Always check that cooling water is exiting the exhaust pipes at the corners of the

stern. If no or low water is coming out, shut the engines down and check the

strainers and valves

7. Turn on the DC panel switches for Radio and the “L”, “R”, and “A” pull-out

switches for the depth finder, Radar/Chartplotter, and Autopilot, respectively.

Then turn on BOTH Furuno units and the Impulse Depth Sounder. Note: if Both

Furuno units are not on, the lower help VHF Radio will alarm loudly after 10

minutes.

8. Idle the engines before placing transmissions in gear.

During warm-up, move the THROTTLE to raise the engine speed to 800 to 1000 rpm on

the TACHOMETER. Warm the engines for at least 10 minutes before engaging

transmissions. Observe the readings of the gauges. The oil pressure will register about

40 PSI. The engine temperature should rise slowly. Check that cooling water is coming

out of the exhaust pipes at the stern of the boat.

Note -- If oil pressure is low, shut down engine, and inspect engine compartment and

look for possible cause (for example, loss of oil.) Caution -- If an engine is overheating

or there is lack of raw water expelled in the engine exhaust, stop the engine

immediately. Recheck the raw water-cooling system to ensure the seacock is ‘open’

(handle in the UP position). Next, check the raw water strainer for debris. Remove the

strainer, clean, re-assemble, and reopen the raw water intake valve (seacock). Restart

the engine and re-check water flow from the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the

intake hoses or the RAW WATER PUMP may need to be serviced. Seek help.

Running the Engines

While operating the engines keep the battery switch on the start battery bank. The

temperature gages should be between about 180 and 200 degrees F and the

alternators should charge at >12 to 14 volts. Cruising speed is most economical at

engine speeds of 1500 to 1700 rpm, which will make about 6.5 knots. The depth finder

shows the speed of the boat through the water, while the chart plotter/GPS shows the

speed of the boat over the ground (SOG). The difference between the two speeds is the

speed of the tidal current if present. Engine oil pressure should be over 30 psi, but

NOTE that the port oil pressure often reads high; you can disregard the high reading.

6

Stopping the Engines

Before shutting down, allow the engines ‘idle’ for about 5 minutes to cool them gradually

and uniformly. The time engaged in preparing to dock the boat is usually sufficient. To

turn off the engines:

1. Make sure that the engines are IDLING and the transmissions are in NEUTRAL

and the IGNITION KEY for each engine is in the “ON” position

2. Press the stop button for the engine to be stopped; the engine should stop, if not,

check that the IGNITION KEY is in the ON position

3. After a few seconds the engine oil pressure alarm will sound

4. Turn off the IGNITION KEY to silence the alarm.

5. After engine shut-down, as an option, run the engine room BLOWER FAN for 5-

10 minutes (after switching to the house battery) to cool the engine room and to

keep the heat from the engines from rising into the cabin, especially on a warm

day.

6. Switch the battery switch to the house bank if on mooring or anchor, or to BOTH

if on shore power.

7. Leave Keys in the ignition at all times!

Getting Underway

DISCONNECT and stow the shore power cord (see 110-Volt operations below). Close

the PORTHOLES, WINDOWS, and FORWARD HATCH. Turn on the VHF radios, depth

finder, and both chart plotters. Ready the BOAT HOOKS for quick access and ASSIGN

crew members their various positions to work dock lines and for lookout. After exiting

the marina, idle the engines while crew brings in fenders and lines. Stow fenders and

dock lines securely on the aft deck for passage making. Never cruise with the fenders

out.

Cruising

All close quarters maneuvering should always take place at the upper helm where

visibility is best. Engage the GEARSHIFTS. Ensure the throttles are in the ‘idle’ position

before engaging the gearshifts to avoid transmission damage. Cruising speed is a

maximum of about 1750 RPM. If you run at 1650 RPM you will cruise at 6 to 6.5 knots

and use only 2 gallons of diesel per hour. Your speed will vary depending upon the

weight and load and weather conditions and current. The Nan Sea Jean has a full

displacement hull so there are no trim tabs to put the boat in a “bow down” position.

Note -- Avoid higher engine speeds >1750 RPM as it causes higher engine

temperature, possible damage, and significantly higher fuel and oil consumption with no

significant increase in speed.

7

While cruising turn on the inverter with ONLY the AC “OUTLETS” breaker on to enable

device charging, etc., turn off the inverter before docking or anchoring to preserve

battery voltage.

Docking

Before arriving at the dock, have your crew ready the lines and fenders and give clear

instructions on how you will be docking. Often times your crew will need to step off from

the swim step with the stern line and or the mid-ships line. Another crew member will

need to be at the bow or mid-ships to hand over the next lines.

During docking, use the FLYBRIDGE HELM for greater visibility to the stern. Use the

rudder to assist with turning operations, because the Nan Sea Jean has a substantial

keel, using props only for turning is not adequate.

Fueling

Open the FUEL FILLER CAP(s) located on both sides of the cabin in the walk way at

mid ships with a DECK FITTING KEY which is kept in the lower helm step locker below

the cabin door.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT FUEL! DIESEL! DIESEL! DIESEL! MAKE SURE

IT IS GOING INTO THE RIGHT DECK FILL AT MIDSHIPS! DOUBLE-CHECK!

Before pumping fuel, have an oil/fuel sorbs mat handy to soak up spilled fuel. You

should have a rough idea of the number of gallons you will need by the engine hour

indicator (assume about 2.5 gph) as the site tube fuel gauges in the engine room only

register after 110 or so gallons are used. You must listen carefully at the filler deck

fitting while fueling for a change in fill sound.

Place the DIESEL nozzle into the tank opening, pump slowly and evenly, and note the

sound of the fuel flow. Pumping too fast may not allow enough time for air to escape,

which may result in spouting from the tank opening. As the tank fills, the sound will rise

in pitch or gurgle. Pay attention to the TANK OVERFLOW VENT on the outside of the

hull near the tank opening. The GURGLING sound will indicate that the tank is nearly

full. Stop fueling when you hear fuel gurgling up into the filler tube at the top of the tank.

DO NOT TOP OFF. Be prepared to catch spilled fuel from the tank vent on the outside

of the hull and from the filler cap area. Spillage may result in a nasty fine from law

enforcement.

Replace each tank cap and tighten snugly with the deck key. Caution -- Clean up

splatter and spillage immediately for environmental and health reasons. Wash hands

with soap and water thoroughly after fueling.

8

Fuel System

Both engines have Racor primary fuel filters mounted on the fuel tank bulk heads, with

secondary fuel filters on each engine. The starboard fuel valve manifold is for fuel

supply and the port fuel valve manifold is for fuel return of unused fuel back to the tanks.

Under normal conditions all fuel valves will be open and ready for the engines to be

started. Please leave the fuel valves in the ‘on’ positions unless there is a need to close

a valve due to a leaking fuel line, etc. Clear tubing sight gages are located on each tank

forward of the engines. Turn valves above and below the sight gage tubes to the

parallel position to view the fuel levels. Unless the engines have been operated

extensively, the fuel sight gages will typically show full. Please keep the fuel level sight

tube valves in the off (perpendicular) position when not viewing fuel level in the sight

tubes.

C. Sea Strainers and Through-Hull Valves

Sea Strainers

The sea strainers filter out sand, seaweed, and other debris from the sea water cooling

intakes so that the debris does not foul the engine cooling systems. Check the engine

cooling sea strainers daily before start-up to make sure that no seaweed or other debris

are present that could clog the cooling systems.

There are four (4) raw sea water through-hull sea cocks and strainers at the following

locations:

forward of the starboard engine for that engine cooling intake

forward of the port engine for that engine cooling intake

forward engine room on the starboard side for the salt water wash-down system

In the starboard aft deck lazarette for the genset engine cooling water intake.

To check the sea strainer, shine a flashlight through the glass. If you cannot see clearly

through the strainer, the strainer needs to be physically checked. Close the seacock

adjacent to the strainer and remove the top wingnut and cap of the strainer – don’t lose

the white gasket under the wingnut. Lift out the strainer and clean the screen contents in

a bucket of water. Discard the debris appropriately (not in the bilge). Replace the

strainer and the cap and top nut and tighten appropriately. Open the seacock and make

sure that the strainer is not leaking. Keep the seacocks open to insure cooling water for

the engines.

Note: Do not operate in shallow waters less than 6 ft deep or in kelp and seaweed beds

or in such a way that prop wash will stir up sand and debris that will then be sucked into

the sea strainers. Be sure to check the sea strainers if operations in shallow water stir

up mud and sand or after operating in seaweed or sea grass.

D. Electrical Systems

The electrical system is divided into two distribution systems: 110-volt AC and 12-volt

DC. The systems are controlled from the AC ELECTRICAL PANEL and the DC

ELECTRICAL PANEL, which are both located at the helm station in the main cabin. The

BATTERY SWITCHES are located at the top of the DC PANEL. When not connected to

shore power and not running the engines or operating the generator, batteries are

providing all power. Therefore, monitor the use of onboard electricity carefully with your

volt meter located on the DC PANEL and at the MAGNUM CONTROL PANEL, which is

located in the overhead panel at mid ships above the galley.

DC circuit breakers that are “ON” are in the UP position and may be signified by RED

lights, but not all circuit breakers have lights that illuminate, check the switch position.

Turn off electrical devices that are not needed such as the RADIO switch on the DC

panel and the L, RADAR, and A pull out switches for the Depth Finder, FURUNO

Radar/Chartplotter, and the Autopilot, respectively, when not cruising.

Shore Power 120 Volt 30 amp System

SHORE POWER supports all AC equipment and receptacles on board, as well as the

battery chargers. To connect to shore power:

1) Plug the 30 amp POWER CORD into the boat by inserting the connector into the

receptacle and then turning the connector slightly to the right (clockwise) to lock

10

the connector into the receptacle. Screw the keeper ring on the connector to the

right to secure the connection.

2) Plug the POWER CORD into the dock receptacle. Check the power rating/plug

size of the nearest dock receptacle (50 amp, 30 amp, 20 amp, or 15 amp

connectors are all configured differently). If necessary, add a CORD ADAPTER

located in the step locker at the lower helm station. Secure the power cord to

prevent trips and do not let the cord dip into the water. Cords coming off the bow

can be wrapped loosely around the bow line.

3) Turn ON the dock power circuit breaker.

4) At the AC ELECTRICAL PANEL, Turn the AC power selection switch to SHORE

POWER (note that the shorter pointed end of the switch should point to the

desired switch position).

5) Turn on the top row of AC circuit breakers for the outlets, battery charger, water

heater, and microwave. Watch your volt meter for load. If the load exceeds the

rated amperage, you will pop your breaker. If this occurs, wait to turn on one of

your systems (i.e. water heater) until your amps drop. Note that the bottom row of

AC circuit breakers are all spares and not used.

6) Be sure that the INVERTER is turned off on the MAGNUM control panel before

turning AC power on, either from shore power or the generator.

The shore power cord connection is located on the starboard side of the cabin forward

of the cabin door. Connect the shore power cord to the vessel with the shore power

switch on the electric panel in the OFF position. When the shore power cord is

connected, turn on the shore power breaker switch on the dock before turning the shore

power switch at the electric panel to the “shore” setting. When disconnecting the shore

power cord, turn off the individual AC breakers before turning off the SHORE POWER

switch.

AC Panel Breakers

There are AC Panel breakers at the lower helm station and breakers located inside the

lower helm electrical access door. There are 6 AC Panel breakers on the upper bank of

breakers at the lower helm station:

Outlets – turns on 120 Volt outlets

REFR – obsolete, not used with new refrigerator installed in 2013

Stove – obsolete, not used

Battery Charger – obsolete, not used

Water Heater – turn on 120 volts to the water heater to heat water when on shore

power. Note: the water heater also heats the water when the port engine is

operated. Note, turn off the Water Heater breaker when using the inverter!

Microwave – turns on 120 volt power to the microwave.

11

The lower bank of AC breakers is not in use.

The breaker for the main MAGNUM battery charger is located inside the electrical

systems access door behind the lower helm and aft of the galley table bench seat.

Please leave this breaker on at all times. The main battery charger is located under

the aft salon seat below the entertainment cabinet.

Generator

The Nan Sea Jean has a 5.5 KW NextGen (genset). The generator is located in the aft

deck locker at mid-ships. Before starting the generator, be sure that the raw water

seacock is open and that the Generator/Shore Power switch on the AC panel is in the

“OFF” position. (Note that the short pointed end of the switch points to the desired

position, not the long end of the switch handle.)

To START the genset,

1) Hold the PREHEAT/STOP rocker switch on the AC Service Panel to the

PREHEAT (downward) position for about 20 seconds, depending on ambient

temperature, then release the switch back to the neutral (center) position.

2) Move the rocker switch to the START position until the genset starts (about 5 to

10 seconds). Repeat if necessary, but do not crank the starter for over 10

seconds at a time.

3) After the genset is running, turn the AC power selector switch to the left position

pointing to the generator controls by pushing in on the white selector knob to

direct the power to the electrical outlets; Check the Service Panel AC voltage

meter for 120 volt power; there will be a delay of several seconds before AC

power is available.

4) Turn on only those AC breakers that are needed for use with the generator.

5) The Generator has its own isolated batteries for starting the generator, which is

located in the wooden battery box to starboard of the generator in the aft deck

lazarette. The generator batteries are automatically charged when the battery

selector switch is to BOTH during charging

6) Place the Main Battery Switch at the top of the DC panel should to BOTH to

charge both battery banks while the generator is running.

7) Make sure that cooling water is exiting with the exhaust at the stern transom port

side, if cooling water is not exiting the exhaust, shut down the generator and

check the raw water intake strainer and valve.

To STOP the generator,

1. Take the load off the generator by turning off the AC breakers.

2. Turn the AC distribution switch from Generator POWER to OFF.

3. Kill the generator by moving the Start/Stop switch to STOP (down position) and

holding until the generator completely stops.

12

4. Be sure to change the DC battery selector switch back to the HOUSE bank

(Number 1) setting after charging is completed. (See below)

12 Volt Batteries and Power Management

The Nan Sea Jean has a battery switch on the DC control panel that selects between

two 12 volt battery banks. When running the engines, when on shore power, and when

operating the generator, leave the battery switch to the “Both” position.

Battery switch position “1” is the HOUSE BATTERY bank that has two 8D

batteries containing 275 amp-hours each for a total of 550 amp-hours

Battery switch position “2” is the STARTER BATTERY bank that has one 8D

battery containing 275 amp-hours

Note -- Do not change the position of the battery switch while the engines are running or

the alternator diodes will be damaged; change the battery switch position with the

engines off

When at anchor, and after the engines are switched off, turn the battery switch to the “1”

position to use battery power from the HOUSE BANK only. Turn the battery switch back

to “START” before starting the engines and while running the engines. The DC voltage

and amperes being used at any time will be displayed on the volt and ammeter gages

on the DC panel. The voltage of the HOUSE battery bank is constantly displayed on the

overhead MAGNUM control panel.

The HOUSE BATTERY BANK (Battery Switch #1 Position) should be used to provide

power for all DC systems including the automatic bilge pumps while on anchor or

mooring. When disconnected from shore power, all 12-volt devices should be used on

the house battery, which will drain at a rate depending on load. Use electrical devices

only as needed to preserve battery power. The DC voltmeter and ammeter on the DC

panel can be switched between the HOUSE Battery Bank (switch position #1) and the

STARTER BATTERY bank switch position #2) to measure charging or resting battery

voltages.

When the battery banks are being charged, the voltage will read from about 13.1 volts

to 14.4 volts depending upon state-of-charge of the battery bank. When the battery

bank is at rest (that is, not being charged), the voltmeter and ammeter on the Magnum

display will provide an indication of the state-of-charge of the battery bank.

With the BATTERY SELECTION SWITCH set to the START battery with the engines

running, the house bank will be charged automatically by the starboard engine and the

start bank will be charged by the port engine. With the BATTERY SELECTION SWITCH

set to BOTH, both battery banks are charged by the BATTERY CHARGER when

connected to shore power or operating the generator. Be sure that the main Battery

Charger breaker in the access door behind the galley table is always left “ON”.

13

Do not let the batteries discharge to below 12.2 volts to prevent over discharge and

possible damage to the batteries and 12 volt systems. Table 1 lists the approximate

battery voltage and battery charge state.

Inverter

Turn the inverter off before anchoring or using the generator or connecting to shore

power. Turn off the inverter by pressing the “INVERTER” button at the lower left corner

of the MAGNUM POWER remote control and monitor, which is located at the lower

helm overhead panel at midship.

The battery charger is equipped with an inverter that provides 120 volt power, 1500

watts maximum to the 120 volt panel when not connected to shore power or on genset

power. When operating the inverter, only the AC OUTLET breaker should be turned on,

all other AC breakers must be off. Generally only use the inverter while running the

motors as the current draw will quickly deplete the batteries. Turn off the inverter if

connected to shore power or while running the generator. Note: the microwave takes a

lot of battery power and should be used on inverter when running engines or with only

the microwave AC panel switch on. Use the microwave for brief periods only while using

the inverter.

19

On Anchor - use the inverter only for short periods of time, be sure the battery switch

set to the #1 house bank and make sure that all the 120 volt breaker switches are in the

off position except for the OUTLETS breaker, and that any electric heaters or high

power 120 volt appliances are unplugged or off.

Turn on the inverter by pressing the “INVERTER” button at the lower left corner of the

MAGNUM POWER remote control and monitor, which is located at the lower helm

overhead panel at mid ships. With the inverter on, ONLY turn on the 120 volt breaker for

the AC OUTLETS – unplug any electrical devices that are not to be used if outlets are

turned on. Note that the inverter will supply a maximum of 1000 watts, so be sure that

no appliances or devices will use anything close to that amount of power. Do not use

the inverter for extended periods as the batteries will be quickly drained. Use of the

inverter for larger power devices such as hair dryers is discouraged; use the generator

instead.

Underway - The inverter can be used while cruising with engines on to charge

computers and devices, etc. Be sure that only the OUTLETS AC switch is on. Don’t use

the AC hot water heater while using the inverter; the hot water will heat off the port

engine cooling water.

E. Navigation Systems

Marine VHF Radios

The lower helm has a Standard Horizon Gx 1250 Marine VHF radio with digital select

calling (DSC) and automated identification system (AIS). The upper helm has a Uniden

marine VHF radio. Helmsmen should monitor channel 16 during operation of the vessel

and follow marine VHF radio protocols. Use lower power to transmit when in port or

when issuing a security when transiting a narrow passage. An auxiliary hand-held

marine VHF radio is located on a charger base in the aft port salon. Monitor VHF

channel 16 while underway and follow proper marine radio protocols. Do not attempt

conversations on channel 16 or the Coast Guard will intervene; go to a working channel

after making contact on channel 16. Press and hold the CLR/WX button on the lower

helm VHF radio for a few seconds to access the marine weather radio channels.

AIS

The lower helm VHF radio is equipped with automatic identification system (AIS) and

marine mobile service identity (MMSI). The AIS is automated and does not need to be

turned on separately when the radio is powered up. The range for the AIS is about the

same as for the VHF radio signals – which is approximately line of sight. Other vessels

20

with AIS will show on the small circular display on the radio screen and the range of the

display can be changed by pressing the range soft button twice and selecting the

desired range. The AIS data are integrated with the Furuno Chart Plotter. The images of

other vessels on the Furuno Chart Plotter are elongated triangles showing the location,

bearing line, and track line of each vessel that is broadcasting AIS. The same

information from the Nan Sea Jean will be displayed on the screen of any other vessel

with AIS. Both of the Furuno chart plotters at the lower helm and upper helm stations

must be “ON” for the AIS to be displayed on the chartplotters. Move the cursor ball over

an AIS target on the screen to see additional information about vessels – press the

center button to return the display curser and boat location to the center of the chart

screen after moving the cursor.

GPS and Radar Chartplotter

The Nan Sea Jean is equipped with two Furuno model 1834C chartplotters with a 24”

radome and a 4.0 KW transmitter with 36 NM radius, integrated with GPS, marine

navigation charts, AIS, and depth finder into a 10.4 inch color LCD display at both helm

stations. Press the Power/Brill button to turn the Furuno GPS chart plotter on and off.

The Select the display button and select between several preset displays for the chart

plotter/radar/depth information. Press the range +/- toggle switch to expand or reduce

the scale of the views, depending on which display is active. The roller-ball mouse

moves the cursor on the screen; press the large selector button in to make selections.

Remember that operating in fog, at night, or in extreme weather conditions is not

allowed. A hand-held Garmin GPS Map 76C and a Garmin GPS Map 76 are located in

the drawer beneath the lower helm seat for emergency backup use.

Depth Finder

After enabling power to the depth finder with the “L” pullout switch on the DC panel,

press the power button to turn on the Impulse 2000+ Fishfinder, which is located to the

right side of the lower helm station, and then select the Digital display mode. The depth

finder displays the depth and the speed through the water in the Digital mode. The

Furuno system has an independent depth system that is displayed in on-screen data

fields in the plotter views on the Furuno system. The Impulse depth finder displays the

speed of the vessel through the water, which can be compared with the speed over

ground from the Furuno GPS to determine the relative speed of any current that the

vessel may be experiencing.

Autopilot

The autopilot is a Robertson AP 100 DC system. The autopilot is powered on by the “A”

pullout switch on the DC panel. The operations manual is located in the boat systems

binder. When not using the autopilot keep in the “OFF” or “COMP” compass mode. The

modes include:

21

OFF – autopilot is off

COMP – compass mode, the autopilot screen shows the compass heading in the

readout

PWR ST – power steering mode, the autopilot can be used to steer the boat but

will not keep a course – DO NOT USE

AUTO – auto pilot mode, the autopilot will keep the course set in the readout –

Use this setting

NAV – navigation mode, do not use, not programmed for use.

To use the autopilot, steer the boat on the course desired, and turn the Mode selector

switch to AUTO. Wheel steering is disabled and the ship will be steered on the course

set in the autopilot readout. Turn the Course knob to select the magnetic course to be

steered. The rudder selector should be set to MID2 for normal autopilot use.

Turn the autopilot to off or the COMP mode before entering harbor or for dodging

and manual course corrections while underway.

There is a remote autopilot control in the flying bridge starboard dash locker that can be

used to change course direction and place the autopilot in standby by pressing the

DODGE button. When reengaging the Auto Pilot from DODGE, the boat will return

immediately to the original heading prior to engaging DODGE. Turn the Autopilot OFF

or to Compass prior to reengaging if the heading was drastically changed. The remote

control will display an “A” and the course when in autopilot mode, and will display a

flashing P when in dodge mode. However, the remote cannot be used to change

autopilot modes, which can only be done at the lower helm station. Use the autopilot

with extreme caution and be sure that the autopilot is off or in compass mode when

starting the engines. The helm station wheels will not function when the autopilot

is in power steering or auto mode! Do not have the autopilot on while in

anchorages or marinas.

F. Water Systems

Fresh Water Tanks

The fresh water tanks are located beneath the aft cabin birth. There are two tanks that

hold 100 gallons each. The tanks are filled from the aft deck fresh water filler. Use the

deck key to open the fill cap. The tank vents are located on the stern beneath the swim

step. Fill the water tanks before departing and after returning the boat. Do not fill water

and diesel at the same time!

The FW Pump switch is located on the DC panel, which will turn on the fresh water

pump. The fresh water pump is located in the engine room behind and to port of the hot

water heater. Turn the pump switch off when departing the boat. The FW pump must be

on to use the VacuFlush heads. If the water pump runs constantly, you are either out of

water or might have an air lock and need to bleed the system by opening a faucet. If

22

you run out of water, SHUT OFF the FW PUMP switch on the DC panel and the HOT

WATER HEATER switch on the AC panel. Serious damage can occur!

Note: if there is no water pressure, turn the FW switch on the DC panel off and on

again, wait a few moments and recheck for water pressure, let it run for a bit. The fresh

water pump is located in the engine room port side behind the hot water heater.

Hot Water System

The hot water system is a 6 gallon hot water tank that is located in the engine room

forward of the port engine. The hot water tank is heated when the port engine is running

and/or by switching on the 120 volt panel switch for the Hot Water Heater when on

shore power or when operating the generator. Do not heat water with the inverter on!

Shower

The shower is located on the port side forward of the aft cabin. Be sure the fresh water

(FW) pump switch and the shower sump pump switch on the DC panel are on before

using the shower. Also be sure that the shower floor drain strainer is clear of debris to

allow the shower to drain to the shower sump pump. Take only very short “boat”

showers (turning off water between soaping up and rinsing – use the on/off valve at the

shower head). To keep shower tidy wipe down the shower stall and floor. Check for

accumulation of hair in the shower and sink drains.

Salt Water Wash-Down

The salt water wash-down spigots are located at the bow near the anchor roller and on

the lower aft deck. At the aft deck the left spigot is salt water and the right spigot is fresh

water. The salt water pump, through-hull valve, and sea strainer are located in the

engine room forward the starboard engine. The salt water pump is turned on by the SW

Pump switch on the DC panel. Keep the SW Pump switch off when not needed. Rinse

the anchor and chain every time it is used to keep mud and seaweed out of the anchor

locker, which drains to the bilge, mud and slime from the anchor chain could foul a bilge

pump.

G. Heads and Holding Tank

It is important that every member of the crew be informed on the proper use of the

MARINE TOILET. The valves, openings, and pumps are small and may clog easily.

Please do not put anything but human waste in the toilets – Please put toilet

paper in the head waste cans and dispose of toilette paper with trash. If the toilet

clogs, it is YOUR RESONSIBILITY!

Both heads are electric VacuFlush heads that use fresh water for flushing. Turn on the

following switches to operate the heads:

23

DC panel switches for the FWD and AFT Heads

DC panel switch for the FW pump,

The toggle switches located below the sinks in each head.

To flush the heads, simply push down the foot lever for 3-5 seconds to evacuate the

bowl and activate the vacuum system. Let the foot lever snap back to original position to

ensure the head valve closes. You will hear the fresh water pump operate for about 5

seconds and the vacuum pump operate for about 10 seconds after flushing the heads.

The head holding tank capacity is 35 gallons. The holding tank is located beneath the

galley floorboard. The tank can fill up quickly with use and should be emptied at least

every 2 to 4 days with a family of 4 using the heads. With an overfilled tank, it is

possible to break a hose, clog a vent, or burst the tank. The result will be an

indescribable catastrophe and an EXPENSIVE REPAIR and CLEANUP to you. Keep an

eye on the tank level and empty the tank EVERY THREE DAYS to avoid this problem.

The holding tank is emptied in one of two ways, as selected by the position of the WYE

VALVE, which is located in front of the tank as shown in Figure 3. The figure shows the

WYE Valve in position to empty the holding tank to the deck fitting, as indicated by the

arrow shown pointing to the right. Move the gray valve selector to cover the right arrow

and the left arrow indicator is uncovered, which will direct the flow to the macerator

pump, which is located at the far left in the photo.

Figure 3. Holding tank WYE valve in position discharge to the deck fitting.

24

Follow the following directions for emptying the waste holding tank.

Pump-Out Station

Make sure that the WYE VALVE is positioned as shown in the above photo

showing the discharge arrow to the starboard to discharge to the deck fitting.

Remove the WASTE DECK CAP located on the bow deck to port of the windlass.

Use the deck key, which is located in the lower helm step locker.

Insert the pump-out nozzle securely into the waste opening and hold securely in

place. Double-check the deck fitting seal with the pump-out nozzle to insure a

tight seal! Turn on the dockside waste pump and open the in-line valve located

on the pump-out hose. View waste discharged via the clear fitting at the hose

handle.

When pumping is finished, close the valve on the handle and remove the pump-

out nozzle.

If there is a fresh water hose on the dock, rinse the tank by adding about 2

minutes of water into the holding tank through the deck fitting, then re-pump the

holding tank to leave the tank rinsed for the next charter. (This eliminates head

odors.)

Repeat and flush-out the holding tank twice.

After pumping out, remove from pump-out hose from the waste cap and turn off

the dock-side vacuum pump.

Securely replace the waste cap at the deck fitting.

Macerator Pump

The holding tank’s contents can be discharged with the MACERATOR only in open

water locations in Canadian waters – not in marinas or high-traffic areas. The macerator

pump is located near the holding tank beneath the galley floor, as shown at the far left in

Figure 3. The WYE VALVE at the outlet of the holding tank must be repositioned to

show the arrow pointing to the left (Port) so outflow will pass to the macerator.

The macerator overboard through-hull valve is located in the engine room to port behind

the hot water heater. Be sure the through-hull valve is open before operating the

macerator.

To MACERATE WASTE OVERBOARD

Turn WYE VALVE so valve handle points to starboard and the arrow to port

shows (opposite as shown in above photo)

Check that THROUGH-HULL VALVE behind the hot water heater in engine room

is open

25

To operate the macerator pump, turn on the “Holding Tank P” switch on the DC

Panel and listen for the macerator pump sound. Open galley floor and watch the

level in the holding tank using a flashlight held to the top of the tank. When the

level is down to the outflow level and the pitch becomes higher, the tank is

empty. Do not run the macerator pump for longer than needed, and usually not

longer than about 1-2 minutes at a time.

Check for discharge on the port side at mid-ship.

Turn off “Holding Tank P” switch on DC Panel

Close Through-Hull Fitting

Return WYE VALVE to Deck fitting setting as shown in above photo.

H. Galley

Galley storage is located in the galley lockers and in the locker above the dinette and

under the aft dinette seat. There is a large galley stowage area located beneath the

counter to the right of the galley sink where a removable bin doubles as an ice box.

Additional dry storage is located under the port settee in the salon.

Refrigerator

The refrigerator operates only on the 12 volt DC system by turning on the REFRIG

switch on the DC panel. Note that the Refrig switch on the AC panel turns on an AC

outlet behind the refrigerator, but does not supply voltage to the new refrigerator that

was installed in 2013. The refrigerator uses about 6 amps/hr, and is a major power drain

on the house batteries when not running the engines or when not on shore power, as

when on anchor/mooring. So monitor the batteries accordingly. The house batteries

should provide adequate power for the refrigerator and other general uses for up to 24

hrs, but use power miserly when on anchor. When using the refrigerator, the batteries

should be charged by running the engines or the genset daily when cruising. Turn off

the refrigerator on cool nights to preserve batteries.

Galley Stove

The galley stove is a 3-burner propane stove. The stove is operated via the following

steps:

1. Open the valve on the propane tank located in the port side dash locker on the

flying bridge. The tank valve will need to be opened before using the galley

stove.

2. Turn on the OUTLETS switch on the DC Panel.

3. Turn on the propane safety gas shut-off valve located on the port galley wall to

the right of the stove. The DC panel switch for OUTLET needs to be on for the

propane valve switch to work. A red light will glow next to the valve switch when

26

the propane gas safety valve is open. When the galley stove is not in use, the

galley stove propane switch must be turned off.

4. Light the stove by pushing in on the appropriate burner knob and turning left 90

degrees to the automatic light setting. You will hear the tick, tick of the automatic

lighter, release the knob when the burner lights and adjust the flame as

appropriate by turning the knob further to the left. Hold the knob in for a few

seconds after lighting a burner for the thermocouple to warm up.

5. The oven can be lighted similarly, be sure the oven is empty before lighting.

When finished cooking

1. turn off gas at the stove

2. turn off the safety gas switch on the galley wall

3. turn off the valve at the gas bottle when departing vessel.

I. Cabin Heat and Thermostat

Diesel Furnace

Nan Sea Jean is equipped with a Webasto diesel forced air heating system that

provides heat in the same way as a household furnace. The control panel for the

heating system is located in the salon on the port side forward the settee and below the

bar. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature and place the on/off switch to the

“ON” position for heat. There is no panel switch for the heater, so please turn off the

heater switch when not needed. As with the refrigerator, the heater draws 5 to 10

amps/hr and will cause a significant drain on the batteries, so monitor batteries when

using the heater on anchor/mooring.

Check The furnace EXHAUST PORT, located on the port side hull at mid-ship, for any

obstruction such as fenders or lines. Do not block this opening when operating the

furnace. Heat from the exhaust will damage fiberglass or rubber. Once the heater is on,

allow it to run for at least 15 minutes before turning it off. Turn ‘OFF the furnace heater

by turning the switch to the “OFF” position.

Electric Space Heaters – Use only with Shore Power

Several small ELECTRIC SPACE HEATERS are available to heat the cabins when

connected to shore power. One heater is located in the forward cabin, another is

available in the aft cabin, and a third is available for the main salon. Make sure the AC

outlet breaker on the AC panel is on and the shore power cord is deployed as described

in the section for SHORE POWER. Be sure to keep combustibles away from the heater

to prevent fires. In addition to the space heaters, two dehumidifiers are located onboard

to keep humidity levels down; one is in the forward cabin, and another in the aft cabin.

Do not use electric heaters while using the inverter!

27

J. Entertainment Systems

AM/FM Stereo Radios

A Panasonic AM/FM/CD/USB/IPod-ready Stereo radio with remote is located in the

upper part of the entertainment cabinet, which is located at the aft of the main salon.

Turn on the STEREO breaker on the DC panel to operate the entertainment systems.

The stereos operate like a normal car radio. There are two speakers (stereo) in the

entertainment cabinet, two speakers in the front of the main salon, and two speakers in

the aft cabin. The FADER control directs sound between the main solon speakers and

the aft cabin speakers. The BALANCE controls the sound distribution in the left and

right side speakers.

A Sony AM/FM/CD/AUX input stereo radio is located in the flying bridge dash cabinet

inside the starboard access doors. This stereo is powered from the “OUTLETS” DC

panel switch and provides sound to the four speakers on the bridge.

TV/VCR

A flat panel TV/DVD with remote is located in the entertainment cabinet. To use, be

sure the STEREO breaker on the DC Panel is switched on. There is no TV antenna, so

the TV only functions as a standard DVD player. Insert a DVD on the right side of the

panel and select DVD to play DVDs.

K. Anchoring – Use windlass only with Engines running

The primary working anchor at the bow is a 35 lb Danforth attached to 275 ft of chain.

When the anchor is stored on the bow roller, keep the anchor secured to the windlass

cleat using the clip line. The Nan Sea Jean is equipped with a bow windlass for letting

out and retrieving the anchor. The anchor windlass has a 100 amp breaker on the back

wall of the lower helm above the dinette and a DC Panel switch; both must be on to use

the windless. There are two foot switches on the foredeck and a remote switch on the

flying bridge for operating the bidirectional windless motor. The windlass clutch handle

(for manual operation only) and anchor handling gloves are stowed in the lower helm

step locker below the salon door. Anchor chain is automatically stowed in the forward

anchor locker through an opening in the deck below the wildcat.

Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE, at least 3:1, before setting the anchor. Colored

markers are placed at 30 ft from the anchor indicating the amount of rode that is out. If

the anchorage is crowded put down at least a 3 to 1 scope (60 feet for 20 feet of water),

set the anchor in with a short burst from the engine at idle. Then let out additional scope

dependent upon conditions.

28

Before raising the anchor, ALWAYS start the engines as the windlass uses large

amounts of power. Operate the windlass to retrieve chain as the boat moves toward the

anchor, to take up slack line. Give the windlass short rests as you are pulling up the

anchor. DO NOT LUG the WINDLASS!!! As the anchor rises, be careful not to allow it to

swing against the hull. Wash down the chain and anchor with the salt water hose at the

bow as the chain and anchor come aboard. Place yourself in position to guide the

anchor onto the roller. Do not use the windlass to slam the anchor into the final position.

Use short bursts of the windlass to position the anchor on the bow roller and pull the last

few inches of anchor chain in by hand.

Make sure that the anchor is properly seated on the bow roller. The anchor shaft should

be all the way aft on the bow roller and not sticking out forward. Reattach the anchor

line to the bow cleat after the anchor is shipped and set the wildcat brake and tighten

the wildcat clutch. Close the plastic covers on the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS and turn

OFF the ANCHOR WINDLASS breaker switch on the DC Panel when not using.

A backup 45 lb CQR anchor that can be used replace the primary anchor, and a 20 lb

Danforth stern anchor are located in the aft deck port side locker. The stern anchor has

50 ft of 5/16” chain and 200 ft of 5/8 in. nylon rode. A dinghy clamshell anchor with 10 ft

of chain and nylon rode is also located in the aft deck locker.

L. Barbeque

The BARBECUE is located on the port side of the aft cabin deck. A propane gas line

from the propane tank is located in the port inspection hatch on the aft flying bridge.

Connect the gas line to the barbeque and follow all procedures for use of the galley

stove.

1. Open the valve on the propane tank located in the port side dash locker on the

flying bridge. The tank valve will need to be opened before using the galley

stove.

2. Turn on the OUTLETS switch on the DC Panel.

3. Turn on the propane safety gas shut-off valve located on the port galley wall to

the right of the stove. A red light will glow next to the valve switch when the

propane gas safety valve is open. When the galley stove and BBQ are not in

use, the galley stove propane safety switch must be turned off.

4. Attach the propane line to the BBQ by inverting the control connector 180

degrees and pushing in the connector, then revert the control unit to the normal

operating position.

5. Light the BBQ by pushing in on the control knob and turning to open the gas flow.

Press the lighter switch to light the burner or use a long-stem butane lighter.

Adjust the gas knob to the desired flame height.

29

6. A cutting board accessory tray is stored inside the BBQ, remove before lighting

and attach to the front of the grill.

There is also a regulator for use with disposable propane bottles stowed in the main

salon locker below the bar top. The barbecue generates a lot of heat and cooks hot and

fast. When finished, please check the grease collector at bottom of grill and clean as

needed so grease does not flow to the decks. Clean thoroughly with a paper towel

before storing to prevent grease and dirt soiling the boat. When finished cooking cover

the BBQ and be sure to shut down the propane system:

1. turn off gas at the stove and remove the gas line

2. replace gas line into inspection hatch and secure hatch cover

3. turn off the safety gas switch on the galley wall

4. turn off the valve at the gas bottle.

Note: There is a spare 5-gallon propane bottles in the propane locker with an adjustable

wrench for attaching to the bottles to the propane system. Propane is not supplied by

AYC. You will need to refill the tanks as needed. Caution -- For safety reasons, do not

store an opened propane bottle within the salon or engine compartment. Chances are

these will leak slightly once opened and propane gas could settle into low spaces. Store

these bottles in the bridge cabinet. Ensure gasoline and flammable materials are not

near the barbecue.

M. Dinghy and Davit Clips

The dinghy is a 10 ft AB ultra light hard bottom inflatable. The dinghy is rated for up to 5

adults. Oars are located on the upper aft deck and the air pump is located in a seat

locker on the flying bridge. The dinghy is attached to the aft swim step with davits that

enable quick release and attachment of the dingy with the boat. Two metal rod stand-

offs are attached to the stern of the Nan Sea Jean that attach to the upper inflatable

pontoon of the dinghy when stored upright on the davits. A hand ratchet pulley is

located on the aft cabin deck that attaches to the D-ring on the aft dinghy pontoon for

easily hand cranking the dinghy up and down on the davits. There is a lever on the

handle of the pulley that reverses the action of the pulley so that it winches the dinghy

both up and down.

To deploy the dinghy, clip the snap clip of the DINGHY WINCH LINE to the D-RING

near the upper oarlock on the dinghy inflatable pontoon. Holding the dinghy in place

with the WINCH LINE and the dinghy BOW LINE, detach the STANDOFF BARS from

the dinghy, and lower the dinghy with the DINGHY WINCH line into the water, noting

that the dinghy gets heavier as it nears the water.

30

Retrieve the dinghy by attaching to the davits and connect the WINCH LINE snap clip to

the D-RING, and winch the dinghy into the upright position. Reattach the metal

STANDOFF BARS, and secure the PAINTER to a stern cleat and the WINCH LINE to

the winch while cruising.

Attach the oars to the oar locks on the dinghy by pushing the locking pin into the locks

while the oar is in a position with the oar handle extending outward with the oar end in

the center of the dingy. Rotating the oar to operating position will lock the oar in place.

Remove the oars from the oar locks by similarly rotating the oar 180 degrees from the

normal operating position with the oar inboard and the handle outboard. Remover the

oars from the oar locks while the dinghy is stowed on the davits and when towing the

dinghy. Do not tow the dinghy with the motor mounted on the dinghy.

When towing the dinghy for short distances, always keep it tight to the boat so that

when you slow down or stop the painter will not fowl in a prop. Assign a crew member

as the “dinghy” person to be responsible for taking up slack. You don’t want to wrap the

painter around a propeller.

N. Outboard Motor

The outboard dinghy motor is a 4 stroke 5 hp Lehr that operates on propane gas. The

outboard motor is stored on a mount on the upper aft deck next to the steps to the flying

bridge. Spare propane bottles and spare oil are located in the port side aft seat locker

on the flying bridge. The combination lock code for the outboard padlock is 0060. The

motor should run about 1 hr on a small bottle of propane gas, but be sure to take spare

bottles in the dinghy with you in case the propane runs out.

To start the outboard,

1. Check the oil level at the dipstick beneath the outboard cover.

2. Be sure there is a small propane bottle installed in the aft end of the motor or that

a gas bottle is attached via a gas line to the front of the motor.

3. Be sure the red dead-man key is in position.

4. Be sure the transmission lever is in the NEUTRAL position, or the starter will not

turn the motor over. The forward and reverse lever is on the starboard side of the

motor.

5. Move the throttle position up a few clicks to start.

6. Take the slack out of the pull rope and PULL the starter rope. Because the

propane gas evaporates out of the carburetor, it may take several pulls to start.

7. When the engine starts, adjust the throttle to high idle to warm up for a few

seconds.

31

8. To stop the outboard, press the red stop button, it is not necessary to remove the

red dead-man key at any time.

O. Safety Equipment

SAFETY should be paramount in your daily cruising. A MAN OVERBOARD DRILL

should be discussed and practiced with a life jacket. Remember your lifejackets are

stowed in the starboard bridge seat lockers. A few should always be out and ready.

Your flares and safety equipment are located in the main salon locker below the bar.

Nan Sea Jean is equipped with two AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS. The master switch for

each pump is located on the DC panel. Normally, the bilge pump switches will be left in

the AUTO position. You may occasionally hear the pump operate due to condensation

and water from the shaft log accumulating in the bilge.

There is an EMERGENCY TILLER located in the aft deck locker, with a through-deck

fitting over the port rudder shaft. Be sure the AUTOPILOT is OFF or in COMP mode or

the hydraulic wheel steering at both helms will not operate. However, if the hydraulic

steering fails for some reason, the EMEGENCY TILLER can be used to steer the boat.

LIFE JACKETS are located in the starboard seat locker on the flying bridge

FIRE EXTINQUISHERS are located on the engine room door, the galley dinette

wall, and in the aft cabin. Spare fire extinguishers are located in the salon

starboard salon bench storage.

FIRST AID KITS are located in the forward and aft head cabinets

A LIFE SLING and a throw able LIFE SAVING RING are located on the aft deck.

The propane tank is located on the port side of the flying bridge dash locker.

Keep the tank valve off when not in use. A spare propane tank is also available in

the bridge dash locker.

The PROPANE GAS SAFETY SWITCH is located on the port galley wall to the

right of the stove. Turn on power to the SAFETY SWITCH VIA the DC panel

OUTLET switch. The gas will be on when the galley safety switch light is on and

the valve at the propane tank is open.

Flares are located in the salon locker below the bar.

A hand held marine VHF radio is located in the lower helm/salon area.

A hand held GPS is located in the lower helm seat drawer.

P. Spare Parts and Tools

Spare engine parts are located in the storage locker between engines and spare hoses

the starboard engine. Additional engine belts and hoses are located in the aft cabin in

port side lockers. A tool box is located in the aft cabin that has tools and a socket set

with additional tools is located in the socket tool box.

Spare fuses and light bulbs are located in a drawer below the forward dinette bench in

Q. End of Charter

At the end of your charter, please tidy up all cabins, galley, heads, and remove trash

from the boat. Be sure to fill both fuel tanks and pump out and flush the holding tank.

The fuel tank deck fittings are located on the side decks at mid ships and the pump out

port is located at the bow next to the windlass. The deck key is located in the lower

helm step below the entrance door.

Please plug in the shore power cord and turn the AC panel switch to shore power, and

turn on the AC switches for outlets and plug in the dehumidifiers. Turn off all non

essential DC panel switches, but leave on the bilge pump switches. Please wash the

salt and accumulated dirt etc off the windows and decks with fresh water. Remove trash

to the appropriate bins and recycle appropriately. We hope you enjoyed your cruise on

the Nan Sea Jean!

R. Nan Sea Jean Update 2016

The tachometer for the starboard engine on the flybridge may read too high rpm,

especially when the console is in the sun. Tune the engine RPMs using the lower

helm tachometers, then check to see how the upper tachometers are reading.

Turn on both Furuno Chart Plotters at startup or the lower helm VHF Radio will

sound a loud beeping alarm after 10 minutes without a GPS signal.

If the upper Furuno is in the bright sun on a warm day, the track ball will loosen

and engine vibration will move the screen cursor off center. Keep the trackball

shaded and out of the sun to prevent the cursor from moving randomly by placing

the face cover over the top of the unit. Use the red bungee to hold the cover in

place.

The port engine oil pressure sensor sometimes reads abnormally high pressure.

Don’t worry about this, only if it reads low oil pressure.

The microwave takes lots of power and should only be used on the inverter for

less than 3 or 4 minutes. To have enough voltage, turn off all other AC panel 120

volt breakers when using the microwave on the inverter. It is best to use the

microwave on the inverter when engines are running or use shore power or the

generator to use the microwave.

If shower bilge doesn’t drain, open the bilge access door in the center floor in the

aft cabin and tap on the sump pump assembly

The vaccu-flush vacuum pumps may occasionally pump the vacuum if the seal at

the bottom of the toilet is not properly set after a flush. Check both heads and

reflush letting the opening snap shut to make sure the seal is properly set.
