Merry Fisher 530 Yacht Manual
Merry Fisher 530 Yacht Manual
1. Purpose of the Yacht
1.1. The rented yachts are exclusively for tourist purposes and water tourism on the Żuławska Loop and Elbląg Canal routes excluding the waters included in the Detailed Terms of the Charter Agreement.
1.2. Sailing is permitted only during daytime.
1.3. The yacht can be operated by a trained person.
1.4. The helmsman must not drive the boat under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
1.5. For safety reasons the crew of the yacht should during the lifeboat use the life jackets on the equipment of the yacht.
2. Receipt of the yacht
2.1. Upon receipt of the yacht, you must have a Rental Agreement, a proof of payment, a document confirming your identity. Yacht receipt and its equipment are based on the Yacht Returns and Returns. Please make sure that the equipment listed on the boat is listed and that it is technically sound. You will get professional advice on how to operate individual yacht equipment. A great deal of knowledge on how to use the yacht is contained in this Yacht Manual.
2.2. Besides, before you go on the yacht it is important to know that the yacht is not allowed:
2.2.1. Enter in shoes with hard, leaving the sole (eg pin shoes),
2.2.2. The yacht is strictly forbidden to smoke cigarettes and other open fire (candles, gas lighting, grill) - does not apply to gas cookers,
2.2.3. Do not allow water in the external yachts. Particular attention should be paid to the washing of the yacht when it is doused with too much water, which overflows and drains the bait,
2.2.4. Do not dry clothes, underwear, etc. by hanging it around the engine.
2.3. When the yacht is stationary, we always take care of its proper mooring and protection against damage. To this end, the reflectors on the yacht's equipment must be used,
3. Operation of the engine
3.1. Before starting the engine, check that the gas and gear handle is in neutral,
3.2. Check the fuel level in the tank before starting the engine, in case of small amount, add fuel. Particularly when swimming on the Vistula we should make sure that the fuel does not run out. Estimated fuel consumption is about 3L / 1h, with average engine revs around 6 km. When swimming on the Vistula River, it is important to take into account the fact that the fuel consumption will increase two fold, and the distance traveled in this time will fall by half.
3.3. Install a fuse. "Skidding" on the engine handle, the other end of the engine should always be pinned to the helm,
3.4. Switch the starter fuse to the "on" position,
3.5. Check that the motor is upright. If it is raised, we lower it to a vertical position.
3.6. Pump up the fuel before pushing the engine (only four - five pus).
3.7. The engine starts by turning the ignition key,
3.8. Turn the key until you feel slight resistance and wait a few seconds until the glow plugs are warm,
3.9. Turn the key and start the starter. As soon as the engine starts working - let go of the key (the cold engine will start behind the second, third time).
3.10. During engine operation check exhaust gas outlet with water. No exhaust water outlet means no cooling. In this case, immediately switch off the engine,
3.11. The red light and the sound signal indicate the engine failure. In such cases there is an absolute ban on restarting the engine and the need to immediately notify the shipowner,
3.12. The engine is turned off by turning the key in the ignition or by emergency pulling the skid.
3.13. Most common engine startup problems: no fuse switch, no skidding, no fuel, engine running
4. Maneuvers on the engine
4.1. Put forward and backward by throwing the handle forward or backward. You should never directly switch the gear lever from the position eg "forward" to "backward". Always reduce the engine speed to the minimum, put idle 'on the play', and then throw another gear forward or backward after a pause,
4.2. During maneuvering, especially in ports we try not to use a large amount of gas. Because of the high inertia, the right speed of the yachts are reached only after a moment. The use of excessive "quantity of gas" by impatient sailors is often fatal, as the heavy-duty yachts can not be stopped in place,
4.3. The engine is cooled by liquid (water). Make sure that the coolant (water) circulates through the engine. If this is not the case, turn off the engine and contact the charterer.
4.4. Inspect the engine bolt periodically or if it is not covered by plants or other obstructive work.
5. Chilled yacht
5.1. Preparation for sliding
5.1.1. Before the planned process of locking the yacht, contact the lock service by telephone, inform them of the intended slime. You will get feedback about the conditions and you will have the gates open so you will not have to moor directly to the dalb before the lock itself. We advise you to contact the lock facility at least 30 minutes before you arrive at the lock. The lock phone is on each yacht. Try to prepare counted money for slicing.
5.1.2. Before starting the slag process, we have to prepare the bouncers - for this purpose we will install them along the entire length of the side, which we will directly "touch" the wall of the sluice. The catcher should be suspended at such a height that it is on the yacht bumper, at 1/3 the height of the reflector from above.
5.1.3. Prior to the start of the slag process, prepare the boom and moorings: fore and aft. Check that the moorings are not tangled, put the cum ends on the yacht's cleats, one on the bow and the other on the stern.
5.1.4. After entering the lock, we put the moose on "crosses" located in the holes of the lock wall. Warning !!! The two ends of the cum when put on the crosses do not attach to the yacht !! One end is on the slots, the slope should be only on the cross, the other end should be held in the hands of one of the crew of the yacht. Translating and attaching all cum ends during the locking process, especially pumping out water from the lock, can damage the yacht (the screws will be wiped off).
5.2. Yacht slacking - during the locking process, you should always listen to the lock staff's instructions directly, if you have any questions, ask them or ask for help. For the lock on the ignition engine, you should guard the side of the yacht, it should be taken into account that there may be a stronger current of water in front of the lock or a gust of wind.
5.3. During the locking process, care must be taken to ensure that the crews' limbs are not between the lock walls and the sides of the yacht, the yacht swayed during the locking process can easily break the hands or feet of crew members.
5.4. Only after alignment of the water level in the sluice with the river / canal and the opening of the sluice gate, can we prepare for the exit from the lock, until then the yacht must absolutely be moored to the wall of the lock. After getting information from the sluice operator, we are preparing to leave the lock. First turn on the engine, then let go and roll forward and back moors, give a slight gas forward, or reverse to slow down, according to engine operating principles.
5.5. Particular caution should be exercised when escorting and exiting the lock.
5.6. During the entire locking process, for safety reasons, the crew of the yacht should not lower it, including in particular climbing on the sliding metal steps of the ladder mounted on the lock wall.
6. The inside and the galley
6.1. Gas stove:
6.1.1. The yacht features a foldable tourist gas cooker on the catdrige.
6.1.2. Under no circumstances should you leave a lighted gas cooker on the yacht, you should constantly control the flame of the oven, the oven should be set on a stable substrate.
6.1.3. To ignite the gas cooker:
6.1.3.1.1. Mount the catridge in the stove,
6.1.3.1.2. Clamp the catdrige using a lever in the stove.
6.1.3.1.3. Unscrew the oven cock, the flame will ignite automatically from the spark.
6.1.3.1.4. Flame extinguishing occurs after turning off the tap in the oven,
6.1.3.1.5. For safety reasons, the gas catridge should be connected to the oven only during operation (switch on) - after cooking meals, disconnect the catdrige from the oven.
6.1.4. Sometimes, during cooking we spill something and the oven is flooded with the inside of the burner. Do not open the burners on their own. Wait until the burners dry naturally or report a failure to the shipowner.
6.2. Interior:
6.2.1. Do not remove the mattress from the inside of the yacht to place them on the grass, on the fire, on the wet deck, etc., and use it as a seating area,
6.2.2. Do not put kapok in the external yachts of the yacht and do not use them for fun, such as swimming in the river, sitting by the fire,
6.2.3. Keep the galley's plastic fittings away from the gas cooker,
6.2.4. Do not cut on any wooden elements of the yacht - a chopping board that is included with each yacht. Varnished wood is not the same as kitchen countertops. Slicing bread on a wooden or other piece of yacht can be compared to slicing bread on a car's hood - the effect is similar,
6.2.5. The galley equipment (especially pots, plates, cups and more) should be washed dry outside the yacht or wiped and then put in cabinets inside the yacht,
6.2.6. Spreading bunks should be careful and under no circumstances use excessive force. If the koi does not come in, it means that we put it in the wrong place or in the wrong place,
6.2.7. During the voyage, the yacht's interior should be ventilated regularly and in wet and rainy weather it is advisable to place the mattresses on a regular basis so that the moisture under the mattresses has the potential to evaporate.
6.3. Cockpit table.
6.3.1. The yacht is equipped with a folding table in the cockpit.
6.3.2. To mount it first, we need to mount the leg on the counter.
6.3.3. Then the foot with the top is mounted to the hole in the floor.
6.3.4. The cockpit table can be slightly "flushed", so be careful when eating hot meals on it.
7. Anchor and Cum
7.1. We do not use anchors exclusively for the fork (bowman) or put in handles mounted on baskets. Anchors must not be placed in other containers, as they may permanently damage the equipment (eg battery) or damage the boiler itself.
7.2. To bakist you should hide the cocks after drying them, if weather conditions allow it,
8. Damage to the yacht
8.1. In the event of serious defects, breakdowns or other damage arising during the time of the chartering contract, the tenant is obliged to notify the landlord immediately and draw up an "emergency record" (the "accident record") which is the basis for the landlord to apply for compensation to the insurance company. After consultation with the shipowner will be determined how to rectify the fault,
8.2. We will always help and provide service on the trail.
8.3. You may not make your own decisions, such as how to repair a yacht's plating or other serious damage,
8.4. Without the consent of the lessor the tenant can not make changes in the equipment and construction of the boat,
8.5. In case of loss or destruction of the equipment of the yacht can be supplemented on its own, but it must be remembered that it must be of the same type, species, size, color, brand and class so that the equipment of the yacht is uniform and of good quality. For example, you can not replace a lost large small rebounder.
9. Care for the environment, use of toilets and sinks.
9.1. Regardless of the type of toilet that is installed on the boat, Charterer is obliged to use the toilet in accordance with the applicable regulations and in particular in accordance with environmental regulations and takes full responsibility in this regard,
9.2. Do not throw any papers (even soluble) and other personal hygiene products into the toilet,
9.3. Under no circumstances shall faecal tanks be left empty from chemical toilets to rivers, lakes. At each harbor you will find a place suitable for this purpose,
9.4. When washing the boat sparingly use detergents. The best solution is to use special resources for applications that have minimal environmental impact,
9.5. Do not contaminate rivers by throwing cans, bottles, cigarette butts and many other things. For example, one cigarette butt thrown into a river / lake pollutes about one cubic meter of water. Before leaving for the cruise do not forget to stock up on trash bags,
9.6. Pay special attention to the filling of the fuel so as not to spill it into water,
10. Before passing the yacht
10.1. Due to the fact that cleaning of the yacht after the cruise is not a pleasant activity and not everyone must feel like it, you can order cleaning yacht (service price list). Otherwise, the boat should be prepared to the sentence in the right way:
10.1.1. Check that we have taken all of our yacht,
10.1.2. Mattresses should be placed on the floor and all openings of the yacht (if weather permits),
10.1.3. We clean the yacht with special attention to swallows, bakery, koi and wash the floor. When washing, we try not to use too much water. The scoop, the scoop and the damp cloth are enough to get rid of the sand and other impurities from the bunks, bakeries or other nooks of the yacht,
10.1.4. We wash the outside cabins and select from them water and wash the deck,
10.1.5. We empty the bottom faecal tank and wash the whole chemical toilet,
10.1.6. We wash the galley (pots, plates, glasses, cutlery, etc.) and leave them outside the yacht so they can dry (if the weather permits).
10.1.7. Wet moats hang outside to dry (as long as the weather permits).
10.2. The average time that crews devote to clearing the yacht is about 2-3 hours. This time should be considered when planning the time the boat should be returned to the shipowner. When the boat is already cleared, please prepare the documents - the chartering agreement and the transfer and delivery protocol and notify the shipowner.
