Engine Starting and station selecting: The engines can be started from either the upper station or lower, from the pilothouse console. Ensure that the raw water engine cooling through hull valve for each engine is open. The engine start battery master controls in the engine room must be on.Cycle both single lever controls through their complete range. There should be a definite feel when shifting from neutral to forward and reverse.

Engine starting:1 and 2. Turn each key to start position 1 the MTU engine display will need to go through a 3 second diagnostic. 3.Once the MTU Gauges are lit, and go through a diagnostic…4. the key once more to the right resistance point to start the engine. The engine should start. Repeat for next engine. Allow at least 5 seconds between each engine start.

Note: The Pilothouse and Command Bridge single lever controls are interconnected and must be selected for the appropriate location. Press the “station select” button on the ignition control, when moving between each helm station.

MTU throttle controlsStation select – select helm station.Sync – synchronize the rpm between each engine, must be at least within 50 rpm of each other to use this featureLow Idle – slow vessel movement, drops the rpm to approx 550rpm for slow docking, must be OFF sync mode

BOW and STERN THRUSTERSPress both the ON buttons together. To deactivate press the OFF button. The station will automatically deactivate after 5 min with no use.

For more information on the Propulsion system refer to Section 4. Page 61 of the Marquis owners manual

Periodically inspect the engine room while underway for any evidence of leaks, overheating, popped breakers, etc., using the closed circuit video camera monitor screen in the pilothouse. The pioneer display at either helms, use the ‘source’ button to switch to engine view

Engines

Oil Dipsticks (Red) are located on the middle of and low down on the engines. Access is from the middle of the walkway. The transmission is also a red dipstick on the right side of the transmissions

Running Under Power

Comfortable cruising between xx and xxknots will be achieved at engine speeds between xxxx and xxxx RPM. Maximum engine speed is xxxxRPM. Once on plane, adjust the trim tabs to achieve the optimum attitude, both side to side and fore and aft. This should improve fuel economy and give the smoothest ride. Adjustments should be made occasionally to compensate for load and condition changes. Monitor the tachometers while adjusting the tabs to find the best position. The engines should be automatically synchronized while underway, by using the “sync” key at the ignition station.

Handling at docksideUndocking should be done at idle, using the appropriate dock lines and the bow-thruster and stern thruster to establish the proper attitude for leaving the dock. Apply power smoothly when clear of the dock and only as necessary for control until well clear of any restricted speed areas. (Note: The bow and stern thrusters should be used in short bursts. Do not run it continuously for more than 5 seconds to avoid overheating, which will trip the circuit breaker, removing this valuable aid from service at a critical time.) Before docking, all lines and fenders must be made ready and wind and current effects determined. Approach slowly. The counter-rotating propellers cancel out any prop-walk tendency. Docking should be done with throttles at idle and the wheel centered, using the engines and the bow and stern thrusters to change direction. If it is necessary to increase engine RPM, it should be done cautiously to avoid sudden acceleration which could injure crew and damage the vessel (and/or other vessels, docks, etc.). Again, only apply bow-thruster power in short (5 second or less) bursts.

For more information on maneuvering please refer to P. 87

CameraFantasea has a onboard camera system that allows the captain to see aft of the boat

Depth Sounder / Knot Meter/ GPS / ChartplotterOn the DC panel turn the “Pilot House Display” switch to the on position. The main navigation and upper helm station has a depth sound/knot meter that is powered on by the on button. Turn the system on using the DC panel switch. This brings up all the navigation system in the correct orderOn the DC panel turn on the Plotter and Radar breakers.

More info on Navigation system can be found on P.87

Dinghy

The 12’ rigid-hull inflatable dinghy is carried on the transom deck aft of the cockpit. An articulated hydraulic platform lifts and lowers the dinghy as required. The remote control unit is stowed in the drawers just stbd of the lower pilothouse . The heavy-duty breaker and battery service system for the platform is located on the aft bulkhead in the engine room. In the event there is a problem with the hydraulics, while in motion, press the red breaker switch button to turn off the system. The 40HP Yamaha outboard is started and controlled from the dinghy console. It is 4-cycle and uses regular gasoline, carried in the built-in center fuel tank

To launch: remove all the coverings on the dingy: two elastics aft, one zipper forward. There is one deck strap forward, and two deck straps rear.

1.Switch the battery , located under the helm seat, to the ON position.2.Press the bilge button to the on position for 1-2 minutes, to release excess rain water from its bilge. Ensure that the drain plugs is securely seated in the hull.

3.Lower the platform into the water until the dinghy is almost freely floating. ONLY ONE adult should be in the dinghy while being lowered. Once the front of the dinghy is free floating, the platform has reached its max depth. One person should be on the swim grid to guide the dinghy off to the port side, so its engine can be fully lowered and started. Be sure to use caution as the port and stbd hydraulic locking arm is very sharp and could damage or puncture the pontoon. At this point, it is recommend that the individual assisting on the transom, is securing the forward dock line from the dinghy.

4. Insert the key into the motor control, and the safety clip in its place 5. Lower the outboard motor into the water by hitting the down/up keys on the right side of the throttle lever. The outboard should be fully submersed. [If cold starting; raise the fast idle lever before cranking engine]

6. Prime the fuel line by pumping the bulb in the fuel line, about 3 times. Ensure that the control is in neutral and turn the key, the motor should start immediately. Slowly reverse the dinghy away from the vessel.

When docking on the vessel, approach at a very slow speed. The platform cleats are designed to ONLY support the dinghy so that the outboard engine is ALWAYS on the PORT side of the vessel. DO NOT attempt to reverse the docking position of the dinghy, this could result in unbalanced holding weight on the platform. Shut outboard engine off and raise to its highest state. All passengers, including driver should climb onto the transom. Be sure the platform feet are aligned straight. Guide the dinghy in place so that the engine prop is clear over the platform, then raise the platform while holding the dinghy in place.

Before setting out in the dinghy, ensure that all necessary safety gear is aboard and properly stowed. The process is simply reversed to recover and stow the dinghy, ensuring that the outboard motor is tilted up, and not hanging over the water. After the dinghy is secured, replace the tie-down straps and cover.

Anchoring

The Bruce anchor is mounted in the bow roller and operates through an electric windlass (winch) There are control switches at both helm positions and at the bow. It is recommended that the UP and DOWN foot switches at the bow be used to lower and raise the anchor. First remove the securing clip to the anchor. When the boat is stopped over the intended anchor site, pay out chain until the anchor reaches bottom, then continue paying out as the boat reverses. Note. The vessel is equipped with 300’ chain with an installed chain counter…

Red black red = 200ft

1Black = 225ft2

Black = 250ft3

Black = 275ftChainThe upper fly bridge helm is equipped with a Maxwell chain counter. Press the black Windlass button on the helm, this will power up the Maxwell counter. Press power on the Maxwell. Press and hold the M button for 3 seconds to unlock the safety. The “key” logo will disappear. Press the down or up arrow to control the anchor and it will start to count. As the anchor returns to dock, the unit will start to beep warning that the anchor is approaching its dock. The anchor has the tendency to reverse when approaching the pulpit, be sure to watch this as it could damage the hull should it be locked upside down.

Once the anchor is set, ensure that the foot switch covers is closed to prevent accidental engagement. It is advisable to leave the windlass power switch on while at anchor in case it becomes necessary to adjust the scope. It is also suggested that a snubber line be attached to the chain and the tension then taken on this line to one of the bow cleats, leaving the chain from the snubber to the roller slack. This will prevent the chain from moving the roller back and forth, which transmits noise throughout the boat. When Retracting the anchor, use the fresh water washdowns, located in the forward bow locker under the sunpad, to wash down any mud on the chain or anchor.Weighing anchor must be done with the engines running and in neutral. Using the foredeck foot switches will allow immediate awareness of any problems if the anchor is fouled and avoid serious damage to the equipment. Forward gear may be engaged for short periods if wind conditions are causing difficulty or if the windlass is overloaded. While retrieving the anchor, the chain should be rinsed as it comes aboard. Keep a watch on the chain as it feeds into the hawse to the anchor locker to ensure that it is running in smoothly. A backup could result in a jammed windlass. When fully retrieved and seated in the roller, attach the securing line. Once underway, the power should be turned off at the command bridge breaker to prevent accidental operation of the windlass.

Charts

The charts shown in the inventory will be supplied in an area pre determined by the charterer or skipper. Typically, charts will be stored on the lower helm port fwd locker. Typical charts stored on board will be:

3513 – Northern Straight of Georgia3463 – Southern Straight of Georgia 3512 – Central Straight of Georgia3311 - Sunshine coast Strip Chart3313 - Gulf Islands

Electrical Systems AC and DC panels are located on the aft port side of salon

AC system: The 220V system is designed to connect to a single 240/250V or two 125V 30amp shore-power outlets (using the adapter for the built-in 50 amp shorepower cord. These cords retract and pays out through the transom, port side. The Cablemaster cable retractor in the transom is powered from a breaker on the main DC panel and from controls on the transom port hatch. There is a second (shore 2) 50 amp cablemaster for the Air Conditioning (A/C) system. A 25ft 50 amp extension cable is stowed in the generator toom, along with two 50ft 30A cables. Should the shore power system trip, there is a SHORE1 breaker in the water maker room, fwd bulkhead, and also a master breaker switch at the top of the crew quarters stairs, port side. For more details refer to the Marquis Manual P.37*DO NOT USE THE SHORE POWER SYSTEM IF THE VOLTMETER READS BELOW 210V.

AC main Circuit Breaker Group – P40AC Bus and 2 Distribution Panels – P41Salon AC Distribution Panel - P 44

DC System:•DC Bus Distribution Panel (Engine Room) Refer to P.24•DC Control Center (Salon Panel) Refer to Refer to P.29

Generator: To meet Fantasea’s heavy AC power demands, a 28Kw diesel generator is mounted in the engine room, aft stdb. It should be run extensively to ensure adequate power is available at all times for the high-draw systems. It can be operated while underway. It is started and stopped from the salon main DC panel. Press the switch to the up/start position and release. The starting system has its own preheat cycle so it is not necessary to hold the switch. The generator can take up to 15 seconds to start. Once the generator is running smoothly, check to ensure that cooling water is discharging with the exhaust, stbd side aft. At the Bus selector panel, press and hold the red blinking generator button. If you require the Air Conditioning system to operate or the upper grills, then at the same panel press and hold the red blinking BUS1 button to merge the BUS1 and BUS2 systems. Check the voltage meter above to confirm 240V supply. When no longer needed, turn the generator off with the Stop toggle switch. It is common boating courtesy to only run the generator between 0700 and 2200 when in an occupied anchorage or when sharing space with other boaters. For more info refer to p. 38

Bilge SystemRefer to p. 68

Water System

Should the water tanks ever run dry, or the vessel runs out of water supply, the pressure water pump may go into a `sleep` or standby mode. Correct by resetting the breaker. Turn off the breaker for 5 seconds then switch back on. The breaker is located in the Salon AC panel, top right.

Refer to P. 60 for information on Pressurizing and Priming the Water System

Grey Water SystemRefer to p.63

Washer/Dryer

Washer: Insert detergent in the top left compartment. Select temperature of wash and wash type. Make sure door is completely closed. Press the “On” buttonDryer: Use the dial on the right side of machine to select the length of dry time. Press “Start”

BBQUpper Deck Electric Grill – Turn breaker on AC panel. This is a 4 element grill. On the dials 9 is highest heat setting. Note: Make grill is cool before replacing cover.Lower Deck - A portable tank is up on the top deck. It must be hooked up to the lower BBQ

Heads

All three heads have electric toilets which flush to a aft holding tank for the two master baths, and forward holding tank for the two forward baths. There are two buttons to control these toilets, one for adding water and one for dry flush.

The holding tanks should be emptied once daily while in deep water, away from shore facilities. The waste tanks can be monitored from the BUS selection control panel, above the salon stereo. Hold down the left ‘holding tank’ button for fwd tank (forward heads) and the right button for aft tank (master heads)

Caution: The overboard discharge system is completely contained and must be operated from within the master stateroom, under a floor hatch at the bottom step centerline. When selecting a location for discharge at sea, take into account that it will be necessary to idle or stop both engines until the process is completed. Only one tank can be pumped out at a time.

1. Open the appropriate through-hull valve. This valve must be open before turning the pump out switch.

2. Select the appropriate position on the y-valve selector (refer to the through hull fittings appendix-sanitation system) and operate the pump with the pull type style switch near the floor board.

3. Allow the pump at least 8-15min per tank. It may be necessary to refill some water into the tanks, via the heads, to break up solids that accumulate near the bottom.

4. Shut off the pump, via the power lever, or AC breaker.5. Close the thru hull valve. This must be closed afterward or seawater will backfill

the holding tanksNOTE. It is important that the pump is never operated with a closed thru hull valve. The

pump will damage if it is pumped against itself.

If a dockside pump out facility is available, there are two deck discharge deck plates on the stbd side. Allow the hull fittings to vent for a minute, before twisting open completely. It may be necessary to fill up the tanks with water, and repeat the pump out process for each tank.

DO NOT put any other items such as hair, kleenex, paper towel, sanitary products, etc

into the marine toilet. For more info on the Sanitation System refer to P.72

Air Condition System

‘FantaSea is equipped with a CruiseAir/SMX air conditioning system that requires either generator power or Shore 2 50amp power to be activated. There are three temperature controllers throughout the boat; Bridge, Salon and Stateroom. Once the A/C system is started.

Control is by the salon door. Mode button changes from cool, heat, cool/heat auto, and dehumidify. Fan button controls fans speeds. Power turns it on/off. Temp buttons adjust

temperature. Note: Bridge cooling breaker must be on in the AC panel For more info refer to Page 55

LOCAL HAZARDS

This section brings to your attention some of the less obvious hazards that could be encountered during your charter. Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself and your crew with these to avoid possible injury or damage and loss of your valuable vacation.ROCKS: Most are well identified on your charts. These three symbols should be clearly understood when assessing the danger posed by a rock.

= submerged rock 6 feet (2m) or less below the surface at datum.

= rock which is awash at chart datum

= rock which covers and uncovers. The height of tide at which this occurs is shown near the symbol in brackets, e.g. (2.1).

When entering an unfamiliar area, always study your charts carefully first and identify all hazards. There is no such thing as an uncharted rock in B. C. watersFLOATING DEBRIS: Always maintain a sharp lookout for logs and other debris floating in the water. Be particularly alert to 'deadheads' – large logs that are saturated and floating vertically in the water, often just awash. Tidal currents tend to create 'tide lines' where debris collects, often spread across a wide area. Try to pick a break in this trail of debris and pass through at reduced speed.PLACES NOT TO GO: Along the charted shipping channels between Vancouver Harbour and Juan de Fuca Strait. If it is necessary to cross a shipping channel, do so as close to right angles as possible and maintain a sharp lookout for large, commercial vessels. Most will be traveling between 15 and 20 knots.Close aboard a Ferry, Freighter or other large vessel. It is usually prudent to give these vessels a wide berth. If it is necessary to change course to avoid one, do so in plenty of time and make your change large enough to be understood by the other vessel. In these waters, they are normally considered a stand-on vessel by virtue of their limited room to maneuver.In or through Military Exercise Area WG (Whiskey Golf), north of Nanaimo in the Strait of Georgia. Listen to the VHF Continuous Marine Weather Broadcast for information on when this area is active.
