Ice Maker and DC Breaker Panel

The ice maker and DC breaker panel are built into a cabinet
in the salon near the cabin door.  Water is supplied to the ice
maker by the in the fresh water system.  It operates on AC
power only and is protected by the Ice Maker breaker in the
AC breaker panel.  A switch located just below the ice maker
door turns the unit on or off.

The  reverse  osmosis  ﬁltering  system  supplies  the  water  for
the ice maker.  Make sure the freshwater pump is activated
and there is water in the freshwater system before turning on
the ice maker.

The ice maker door has a special latch to secure the door while
under way; make sure the door is properly secured whenever
the boat is moving.

Refer to the ice maker owner’s manual for additional operating
and maintenance instructions.

Settee Seat and Dinette Table

The dinette is on the port side of the cabin. It is equipped with
a table and a lounge seat. The air conditioner for the salon and
storage is below the bottom cushions. The air conditioning
unit is located below the aft cushion and an area for storage is
below the forward cushions.

The TV and stereo is built into the wall at the rear end of the
dinette. The stereo is activated by the DC electrical panel and
the TV is activated by the outlets breaker on the AC panel.

The table is raised and lowered by an electric actuator activated
by a switch on the cabin wall. Push the top of the switch to
raise the table and the bottom of the switch to lower it. The
table should be lowered to the full down position whenever the
boat is run offshore or in heavy sea conditions.

Daylight and fresh air is provided to this area by an overhead
opening hatch. Additional lighting is provided by 12-volt
lights.

Lounge Seat and Berth

Another lounge seat that converts to a double berth is located
on the starboard side of the salon. One section of the salon
seat folds out to make the berth and there is storage below the
cushion on the other section.

10.4 Cabin Air Conditioners

The air conditioning units are the reverse cycle type and oper-
ate on AC power.  The units are equipped with reverse cycle
heat and can be operated as a cooling or heating unit.   There
is an air conditioner for the main salon and one for the master
stateroom.  They are protected by circuit breakers in the 240-
volt AC breaker panel.

Cabin DC Breaker Panel and Ice Maker

To operate, make sure the thru-hull valve for the air conditioner
raw  water  supply  pump  located  in  the  forward  bilge  is  on.
Turn the Air Conditioner breakers in the AC breaker panel to
the “ON” position.  The air conditioning or heat then will be
controlled by the electronic control panels in the main salon
and the master stateroom.  When activated, water should con-
tinuously ﬂow from the overboard drain thru-hull.

The air conditioning system produces heat when it is operated
in the reverse cycle mode.  The ability of the unit to produce
heat is affected by the temperature of the seawater.  As the
seawater temperature lowers, the air conditioner’s ability to
produce warm air decreases.  When the seawater temperature
drops below 40 - 45 degrees,  the air conditioner will not be
able to produce heat.  You should not operate the air condi-
tioner to produce heat when the water temperature is below
40 degrees.

The air conditioner for the main salon is below the port lounge
seat.  The air conditioner for the master stateroom is below the
berth.  The air conditioning compressor unit in the forward
bilge creates condensation that drips into the pan at the base
of the unit.  A hose attached to the pan drains the water to the
cabin drain sump system, also in the forward bilge.  The sump
