O’Day 28 Pre-Departure Inspections

Pre-Departure:

1. Read Previous Log Entries, checking for equipment deficiencies and Boat issues.

2. Walk the boat, checking rigging and ensure equipment is in order and in proper location

3. Guests must sign Liability Release Forms

4. Check who has NJ Boating Safety Certificates

5. Give Crew Safety & Boat Operation Briefing (See Note 1)

6. Make Log entry: listing crew, destination, departure time and note any

Boat deficiencies and discrepancies found.

Engine oil, fuel and cooling water pre-start procedures:

1. Engine OIL: Check oil level on the engine using the dipstick before starting engine for the

first time each day (Lift top engine compartment cover, release access panel latches,

remove panel (if necessary remove companion way steps) – dipstick is on left front side

of engine behind raw water pump as you look rearward at the engine). If oil level is at

or just below mark on dipstick it is OK, if level is 1 ⁄ 4 inch or more below mark add

small amount of oil using small plastic cup poring oil through oil fill on top of engine.

This engine only has capacity for 2 1 ⁄ 2 quarts of oil, only add small amounts, wait

several minutes and recheck when adding oil. Do not over-fill. If level is very low, check

engine for traces of leaks, fill to mark on dip stick and run a dock side engine check and

re-check oil level before leaving dock. -- Notify SEAS Dock-master of low engine oil

level.

2. Fuel Filter: Check clear plastic bowl on the bottom of the Racor fuel filter located on

bulkhead on left side of engine compartment (looking aft). Marine diesel fuel is colored

red/orange. Bowl should be one color without any layering or separation. Indication of

water will be on the bottom with fuel on top. If you find indication of water you should

drain it off using black plastic knurled drain on bottom of filter. Drain is connected to

hose going into engine sump. DO NOT DRAIN THE FUEL INTO ENGINE SUMP – USE

A SEPARATE CUP OR BOTTLE - REPORT WATER FOUND IN FUEL TO SEAS

DOCK-MASTER.

3. Fuel, Water, Oil Leaks: Check engine compartment for fuel, oil or water leaks by looking

in the pan under the engine to make sure it is not full of oil, fuel or water. (Note there is

a pad in pan to absorb traces of fuel or oil, but pan should not be full of any liquids.

4. Raw water Strainer: Use a flashlight to shine through the plastic bowl and strainer to

check the basket for seaweed, leaves or other debris. Strainer is secured to bulkhead

on the left side of the engine compartment looking rearward. Do not unscrew top cover

over plastic strainer basket unless you need to clean it as you may lose the water pump

prime. To clean the strainer, lift out the basket screen and clean out debris. Replace

basket in strainer, ensure that the basket is in the center of the container correctly in the

indent on the bottom, fill strainer completely with water and then carefully re-screw

cover over basket. Make sure you do not cross-thread the cover when re-installing it.

5. Fresh Water Tank Level: With the Instruments Circuit Breaker On, Check Amount of

Fresh Water in on-board tank at the Water Gauge located on the Starboard Settee

Bulkhead. Make sure gauge indicates that the tank is ½full or higher, you will need

fresh water to flush engine when you return to dock. If water level is low use hose on

dock the fill water tank through Water deck fill fitting on Starboard side of boat.

6. Raw Water Seacock: Go back up to cockpit and open cockpit locker hatch. (The lock

key is the same as companionway lock.) Put the lock in the Nav Station drawer after

opening the locker.) Look in the forward inboard area of the cockpit locker. You will

see a seacock handle that shuts off the raw water from getting to the strainer in the

SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)

Page 2%of%7

engine compartment. Pull the handle up to open the seacock. In the front of the locker

area you will see the engine key and a yellow tag with “OPEN” on one side and

“CLOSED” on the other. When you open seacock, take key from screw hook and place

in engine panel switch, reverse tag so that it indicates “OPEN”.

7. Fuel Level: With the Instruments Circuit Breaker On, Check the Diesel Fuel Tank Level

using the Fuel Gauge located on the Engine Instruments Panel. If the gauge indicates

the fuel level is below 1/4 level you will need to refuel it yourself or make arrangements

for adding 5 gallons of diesel fuel only by contacting the SEAS Dock-master. Mix one

ounce of conditioner for every 15 gallons of fuel. Adding diesel fuel to the tank while the

boat is in the slip or in the marina is not allowed.(The Perth Amboy Harbor Master says

that Morgan Marina is the closest marina location to buy diesel fuel in New Jersey.)

Shore power, Battery and breaker Checks:

1. 115 VAC Shore Panel: Boat AC voltage panel is located on side of bulkhead under

companionway facing sink. There are two breaker switches (battery Charger is on top

and AC outlets is on bottom), a main breaker switch (up is on, down is off) and two

panel lights (Red –Power to boat; yellow – reverse polarity). Switch Main AC breaker

off. Leave Battery Charger breaker ON. The AC Outlets breaker should only be turned

on when the boat is at the dock and when you want to plug in any AC devices.

2. Shore Power: Lift cover on Shore Power box on dock and switch off Shore Power Main

AC breaker for our shore power cord. Check Red LED light on shore power plug at boat

end to insure power to cord has been turned off.

3. Boat Shore power cord: Unthread black plastic retaining ring around power plug. Unplug

shore power plug from boat. Thread stainless steel cover over plug socket using care

not to cross-thread the cover. It should thread on easily and not require a lot of torque.

4. Coil Power cord: Coil Boat end of power cord and leave it on the dock.

For trips, where you will be going to another marina dock a second power cord is stored

in the Starboard Settee Locker.

5. Battery check: Using battery test switch on 12-volt DC panel and meter on panel, check

voltage on both battery #1 and battery #2. Both batteries should indicate approximately

12 volts. If battery reading is low notify dock master indicating which battery and the

reading observed. (Bilge pump is directly hooked to battery #1, a low voltage could

indicate pump has been running and there are water leaks and/or the AC Charger is not

functioning) (The AC Charger charges both batteries when plugged into shore power

and the engine alternator charges both batteries when the battery switch is set to all).

6. Set Battery Switch: Set rotary battery switch to “ALL”.

7. DC Breakers: Switch on the following 12 volt DC breakers for departure:

1) Instruments, 2) VHF, 3) GPS.

8. Check the bilge for water and check that the float switch is operational by lifting it slightly.

Press the momentary contact bilge switch, on the 12 volt breaker panel, if you wish to

drain water from the bilge.

9. Light breakers: Note location of cabin light breakers, running and steaming light breakers

in case you require these during your trip.

10.Radio: Turn on VHF radio, listen for traffic on channel 16 and also check weather

(channels 1 and 5) before leaving dock. You may also wish to call a boat or marina for

a radio check. The Radio should be set to monitor channels 16, 13, 9 and 22a. The

“Scan” function on the radio is set to monitor these four channels and is activated by

pushing the “Scan” button.

11.Instruments: Remove cover from wheel and check reading on depth instrument, it is

critical that the depth instrument be functioning. The Boat speed/log is not accurate.

You can use the GPS to accommodate these functions. The GPS is installed in the

SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)

Page%3%of%7%

black plastic bracket mounted on the steering pedestal. Leave the GPS installed and

do not disconnect the cable.

Starting engine:

1. Engine controls: The throttle and gearshift controls are located on the binnacle in front of

the wheel on each side of the compass.

2. Throttle control & engine shut down: The throttle control is located on starboard side of

compass. Check operation of throttle by moving throttle control forward and return to

vertical position. Note that the operation of the lever becomes stiff when moved to

vertical position, but can be pulled back further with force, but will not stay in that

rearward position. This forced rearward position is the engine “SHUT DOWN

POSITION”. Never pull back on the throttle lever hard while you are using the engine

or you will shut it down and lose power. To return engine to idle lightly pull back on lever

with a couple of fingers till you feel resistance.

3. Transmission shift control: The transmission shift control is located on port side of

compass. Check operation of shift lever by moving forward for forward gear, back to

vertical for neutral and then backward to reverse position. Become familiar with

forward, neutral and reverse positions of the shift lever so you will recognize what gear

you are in by looking at lever. Always put throttle in idle or close to idle position before

shifting gears. Move shift lever to vertical “NEUTRAL” position before starting engine.

4. Key: Engine key is kept in Cockpit locker on the bulkhead directly above the hot water

heater and should be returned there after returning to slip.

When taking out the key, open the raw seawater value and turn the yellow tag to open.

Key is inserted into the key switch located on the engine instrument panel that is

located under the Starboard Cockpit Locker Hatch. Make sure the shift lever is in

neutral position.

5. Glow plug switch: This boat has a Universal Diesel engine and requires that the glow

plugs be heated to start the engine. Turn the engine key switch counterclockwise to

heat the glow plugs for 10-20 seconds immediately before starting the engine.

6. Start switch: Turn the Engine Key Switch Clockwise one position past vertical. You

should hear the Alarm Buzzer indicating that there is no Oil Pressure in the engine.

Turn the key one more position clockwise and you will engage the starter motor. Hold

the key in this position and the engine should start after a few seconds. Release the

key and the key will rotate counterclockwise back to the ON position. and the starter

motor will be both the start and glow plug switches when the engine starts. Set the

throttle so that the engine idles smoothly at approximately 600 to 800 RPM.

7. Exhaust & cooling water: Look over stern of boat at exhaust pipe in center of transom,

check to see if there is some water spitting out of exhaust along with engine exhaust

gasses. At first you may only see dribbles of water. The engine on this boat re-

circulates warm water back through the engine and not out the exhaust until the engine

is warm. After several minutes check the analog engine temperature gage, if it reads

120-140 degrees F, look back again at the exhaust, you will notice an increase on the

flow of water but it will always come out in spurts.

8. Engine exhaust pipe: After starting engine open cockpit locker hatch and look just in front

of the seacock at the exhaust hose and the gray fiberglass box it is connected to. Make

sure there are no exhaust gasses leaking from any of the pipe or hose connections.

9. Alternator output: At the engine instrument panel check the Ammeter Gauge and make

sure the needle is indicating a charge to the batteries and not a drain.

10.Engine Temperature Gage: The Universal engine in the O’Day is RAW water (salt

water) cooled. Cooling water is re-circulated back to the pump until the engine reaches

proper operating temperature (140 degrees F), at which time the thermostat opens and

SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)

Page 4%of%7

sends the cooling water into the exhaust. As soon as this occurs fresh cooling water is

pulled into the pump and immediately starts to cool the engine. The boat is equipped

with an analog gage on the engine instrument panel. The high temperature alarm will

sound when the engine exceeds 200 degrees F. If the alarm sounds take immediate

action to locate the problem: Check Raw water seacock valve to insure it is open, check

raw water strainer for debris. If you cannot immediately resolve the problem move boat

to a safe location and shut down engine. You may need to anchor or set sails. Lastly

check the raw water pump impeller. If you cannot resolve the problem, Call SEA-Tow

and get towed back to dock. Notify Dock-Master and Maintenance Coordinator and note

in Log. The engine shall not be run in an overheat condition unless the safety of the

boat and crew are in jeopardy (i.e. about to be run down by a barge or tanker)

Leaving the Dock:

1. Check wind and current and plan method of departure

2. Assign departure responsibilities to the crew.

3. Assign one person as spotter in bow to look for other boat traffic and handle the bow

line. Bow person should remain at the ready with a boat pole and if necessary the

anchor should the engine fail or other emergency arise.

4. Assign fender and line handlers on port and starboard sides to fend off the adjacent boat

and bulkhead. Assign Bow, Spring and Stern line cast off responsibilities before

departure.

5. Check to see if the engine is continuing to spit water out of the exhaust.

Very little water will be spit out of the exhaust until the engine is warmed up. Keep

checking while under way.

6. Note: When backing out of the slip Prop Walk will cause the Stern to walk to Port and

the Bow to swing to Starboard. Plan for this to avoid hitting other boats or the dock.

Getting Ready to Sail:

1. When ready to sail, put mainsail up first and then unfurl the jib.

2. After sails are up and the boat is under sail power, Shut down the engine by pulling back

on the throttle beyond the idle position and hold it there until the engine stops. This will

cut off the fuel to the engine and stop it. After engine has stopped turn off key switch

and move transmission lever to reverse position to keep the propeller from rotating.

Never turn the key switch off while the engine is running, as it will damage the

alternator.

3. Battery Switch: With engine off - switch battery switch to match day of month (even day

use #2 battery; Odd day use #1 battery).

4. The mainsheet traveler is adjustable under sail using traveler block adjusting lines and

cam cleats.

5. If you need to furl the jib the furling line must be secured to the cleat on the track. The

single line furler can be used to REEF the Jib as necessary for wind conditions.

6. There are two main sail reefing lines set up that run out of the bottom of the boom at the

gooseneck. They have jam cleat mechanisms there, however you should never rely

totally on these jam cleats. When reefing the main secure the reefing Tack at the

gooseneck before reefing the clew. The first reef grommet is hooked over the horn at

the gooseneck; the second reef is secured by hooking one of the rings attached to

webbing to the other gooseneck horn. Secure a separate line through the reefing Clew

around the boom to insure that the reefing line does not accidentally release and tear

SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)

Page%5%of%7%

out the reefing points. Separate lines or webbing can be used to gather the sail at reef

points along the boom. These lines are hanging from the Port hand rail in the saloon.

Preparing to re-start engine or return:

1. Turn battery switch to “ALL”.

2. Move transmission gearshift lever to neutral, throttle lever to idle (both in vertical

position).

3. Turn engine key counterclockwise to Pre-Heat the glow Plugs for 10-20 seconds.

4. Turn key one position past vertical, Alarm will sound.

5. Turn Key clockwise to engage starter motor, Engine should start in a few seconds.

6. Check to see if the engine is spitting water out of the exhaust. Very little water will be

spit out of the exhaust until the engine is warmed up. Keep checking while under way.

7. Furl jib until sheets wrap twice around the sail and secure furling line to cleat at end on

track. Lower main sail and secure with sail ties. Move main halyard to stanchion base

near cockpit.

8. Check wind and current and plan for entry into the marina.

9. Assign bow person to stand by with boat pole and if necessary the anchor in emergency

and to watch for boat traffic.

10.Assign return responsibilities to Crew. Decide on a technique that will be used to dock

the O’Day 28. Assign responsibilities to crew and ensure they know what is expected

of them.

11.When close to the slip reevaluate the chosen docking technique. If it is changed, alert

the crew and reassign responsibilities.

12.The docking conditions include traffic in and around the marina; wind (the bow is swung

by the wind); current (boat will drift with the current – remember this is a fixed keel boat

with a lot under the water line, however there should be little current in the protected

Perth Amboy marina).

After docking:

1. Secure bow, spring and stern lines. DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE.

2. Check fuel level. If the fuel gauge level is below 1/4 full and you cannot refuel, contact

the SEAS Dock-master and the next skipper so that they can plan to refuel. USE

DIESEL FUEL ONLY. Add one ounce of conditioner per 15 gallons of fuel. Fueling is

prohibited on the Dock, fueling up must be done somewhere else. A five Gallon Yellow

container is on board to allow refueling in emergencies.

3. Fresh Water Engine Flush: The boat is equipped with a fresh water engine flush system

that should be used every time the boat is returned to the slip. While the engine is

running at idle and the shift lever is in neutral – remove the engine compartment access

panel and rotate the three way flush lever counterclockwise to the flush position (handle

pointing toward bow of boat). Run engine for one or two minutes and then shut down

engine by pulling back on the throttle beyond the idle position and hold it there until the

engine stops. After engine has stopped turn the engine key switch to the vertical OFF

position and then rotate flush lever to Raw Water position by rotating lever clockwise

(lever pointing toward Starboard). Re-Install the engine compartment access panel.

WARNING: DO NOT TURN KEY SWITCH OFF WHILE ENGINE IS

RUNNING – YOU WILL DAMAGE CHARGING CIRCUIT.

4. Fresh Water Tank Level: After flushing the engine check the level of the water in the

boats fresh water tank at the gauge. If level is below ½tank, use dock water hose

and fill water tank through the Starboard side deck water fill fitting.

SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)

Page 6%of%7

5. Turn off radio and turn off instrument and other breaker panel switches.

Move battery switch to OFF position.

6. Open Port cockpit locker hatch. Close the engine raw water-cooling seacock (Push

handle down). Reverse yellow tag so it reads “CLOSED” and hang engine key on screw

hook.

Connecting shore power:

1. Cord and boat plug: Run shore power cord behind dockside stanchion, under lifelines

and run plug to boat AC plug. Un-thread the cover from forward boat socket (rear

socket is for phone line), line up plug with socket, insert and then twist plug to lock in

position. Screw the black retainer ring to plug outlet. Hang cord from the center

Lifelines with Bungee Cord to prevent it from dangling in the water.

2. Shore plug: Lift cover on shore power box and switch on breaker.

3. Plug power light: Check boat end of power cord, a light indicates that there is power to

the boat.

4. AC Breaker panel: Check for Red power on indicator light and insure that Yellow reverse

polarity warning light is not on (do not leave power hooked up if reverse polarity light is

on).

5. Main AC breaker: Turn on Main AC breaker to power outlets and battery charger.

Leaving the boat:

1. Walk around boat before leaving. Check dock lines and fenders. Make sure dock line

eyes are properly secured to cleats. Make sure Port spring lines are run under the Jib

Furling lines and run straight to cleats without chafing on stanchions.

2. Check for loose rigging.

3. Make sure furling line is secured to cleat.

4. Go below to secure forward hatch, make sure screw dogs are tight so that gasket seals

hatch. Also check window hatches.

5. Check bilge for water, run pump if necessary to pump overboard.

6. Check 12-volt panel and battery switch (all off).

7. Make sure all equipment is stowed where it belongs according to the equipment

schematics and labels.

8. Pack-up any garbage and take ashore with you.

9. Check Engine Raw Water Seacock to make sure it is closed (handle pushed down).

10. Check to ensure the Head seacock is closed.

11. Fill in the log and Keelboat Income form.

12. Get locks from navigation station drawer.

13. Install companionway boards and lock it with lock.

14. Lock the cockpit locker.

15. Return Marina Dock Ramp key to location where you got it from.

SEAS O’Day 28 Operating Guidelines Revision 14 (5/15/2014)

NOTES:

1. The Safety Briefing to the Crew should cover the general hazards associated with sailing

such as: Watching out for the boom, holding on to hand rails when moving about, slippery

decks when wet, not relying on life lines for support, watching fingers around winches and

the traveler, not standing on companionway ladder when underway and not being forward

on deck when tacking. The briefing should also cover the location and operation of all

Safety Equipment and the boat operation including: Life Jackets, Flares, Air Horn, Manual

Horn, Charts, VHF DSC Emergency button, Emergency Tiller, Bolt/shroud Cutters, Life

Sling, Rescue Throw Rope, Throw Cushions, Fire Extinguishers, Tool Box, First Aid Kit,

Seacocks, Sea Cock Plugs, Starting & shutting down engine, Reefing Main Sail, Reefing

and Furling Jib, spare dock lines, raw water strainer, engine raw water seacock, 12 Volt DC

Breaker Panel - Running Lights, Steaming Lights, Bilge Pump, Main Battery Switch, Search

Light, Flash Light, boat poles, emergency knife.

2. The keys to the Companionway and Cockpit Locker locks are the same. Each skipper is

issued a key. Place all locks in the navigation station drawer after unlocking them. Lock up

the cockpit locker and companionway before leaving the boat.

3. During the Summer Sailing Season the Marina Dock Ramp Gate keys may be kept in a

Realtors Key Lock Box on the Marina Property. Only skippers are allowed to retrieve this

key and no non-skippers are to be given the combination information. The restrooms are

locked after office hours; a key to the Marina rest rooms is kept on the boat in the Nav

Station Drawer attached to a lanyard and float.

4. Before departure the Forward Spring Line should be unsnapped from the stanchion and

laid out on the dock behind the piling. If someone is available to hold the boat against the

dock at the dock side Shrouds, the bow-lines and Port Spring Lines can be released and

laid on the dock. The Helms-person can release the Stern Line before the boat moves back

out of the slip.

5. Departure procedures from the slip are at the discretion of the skipper taking wind and

current conditions and the Port prop walk in reverse into consideration. The skipper should

brief the crew on the planned procedure and the roe of each crewmember. From South

facing slips two methods have been successful. 1: Pull boat out of slip using stern spring

line while keeping engine in neutral then drive forward while turning boat between docks; 2:

Pull boat back several feet with stern spring line, drive boat backward in reverse between

docks toward outside wall, turn before reaching wall and drive forward out of marine.

6. Set engine speed using RPM Gauge, desired boat speed and sound and vibration of

engine as a guide.If there is vibration at high rpm, reduce rpm, if there is vibration at idle

increase throttle just slightly until vibration is reduced. As a general rule the speed under

engine power should not exceed five (5) knots. Water current strength and direction as well

as wind strength and direction impact the speed of the boat under power.
