ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Your Hunter is fitted with an electrical
system designed for both AC (AC not
available on the 25.5 and smaller)and
DC. While in port, you can operate any
tool, appliance or other device designed
to function on regular house current
(120V) simply by plugging your dockside
power cord into a convenient outlet on
shore, and turning your AC main breaker
on.
(DO NOT ALLOW YOUR DOCKSIDE
POWER CORD TO COME IN CON-
TACT WITH THE WATER. NEVER
OPERATE ANY AC POWER TOOL OR
OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
WHILE YOU OR THE DEVICE ARE IN
CONTACT WITH THE WATER.)
When leaving port, disconnect the
dockside power cord and turn the main
DC breaker on. This allows you to use
the ship's lights and other equipment
designed to operate on direct current.
Keep in mind that your DC power source
is a 12-volt battery and, just as with your
automobile, it must be charged regularly
by operating the engine. Unless a state of
charge is maintained, there may not be
enough power to operate the starter
motor. Dangerous situations can result if
the engine cannot be started when need-
ed.
Make a regular visual check of bat-
tery(ies) to insure proper water level and
to inspect terminals for signs of corrosion.
If your boat sits for long periods without
use, it is often a good idea to remove the
battery(ies) and attach them to a trickle
charger to keep them fully charged and
ready for use.
REEFING THE
MAINSAIL
Your Hunter is equipped with an
easy-to-use jiffy reefing system. To reef
the main:
1. Ease the main sheet (boom yang if in-
stalled) — make sure topping lift is
secured In position.
2.
Lower main halyard so that tack reef
cringle (1) can be
placed on gooseneck reef hook (2). Re-
tension main halyard when hooked in
place.
3.
Clew reef line (3) must now be ten-
sioned so that clew reef
cringle is brought down snugly against
boom.
4.
Re-adjust mainsheet and boom yang.
5.
The reefed folds of cloth can be rolled
up and secured with short lines through
the reef points and around the folds and
boom.
IMPORTANT: be sure to untie these first
when shaking out the reef.
6.
To unreef, reverse the process.
OPERATION OF THE
WATER SYSTEM
The water heater operates either on
120 volts AC or when the engine is run-
ning. To obtain hot water from the engine
it must run a minimum of one half hour.
CAUTION: do not turn the water
heater on until you are sure the tank is
filled with water. To do so will destroy the
heating element, which would not be
covered by the warranty.
Pressure water pumps are the de-
mand type. Once the circuit breaker
switch is on, opening the faucet will pro-
duce water flow.
NOTE: intermittent operation of the
fresh water pump while all faucets are
