  • Page 6: Boat Operaton

    BOAT OPERATON ENGINE Rock n Roll has a Yanmar 75 HP auxiliary engine (Model – 4JH4-TCE). The engine drives a three-blade saildrive. There is a single control lever that operates both the throttle and transmission. The whole unit is controlled via computer. On the engine control panel there are gauges for RPM and warning lights for, ammeter, oil pressure, and water temperature.
  • Page 7: Engine Inspection

    Engine Inspection Each day you are planning to use the engine, you should check the COOLANT, OIL, BILGES, BELTS, and SEA STRAINER by remembering you’re “WOBBS”: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Pump- out), Belts and Sea Strainer Engine Coolant: Check the level of coolant in the expansion tank.
  • Page 8: Bilges

    Bilges: Remove the largest cabin sole panel under the dinette table to check the bilges. There is normally a small amount of water in the bilge. Check for debris, oil, or anything unusual. The Yanmar engine is cooled by a heat exchanger.
  • Page 9: Shutdown

    Shutdown Place the throttle/shift lever in neutral and allow the engine to cool down for several minutes. Usually this is about the amount of time it takes to secure your lines and plug into shore Power. Push the STOP button until the engine stops.
  • Page 10 You will need to fuel up before returning to the slip at the end of your charter. Before refueling, have an “oil/fuel sorbs” handy to soak up spilled fuel. You should have a rough idea of the number of gallons you will need by the fuel gauge, located at the Nav Table.
  • Page 11: Trouble Shooting Engine Problems

    Trouble Shooting Engine Problems Engine Overheating: 1. Immediately shut engine down. The most likely cause is clogging of the sea water strainer. This condition may be preceded by black smoke from the exhaust. Follow procedure above to clear the strainer. Check to be sure water is exiting with the exhaust.
  • Page 12: Engine Dies And Won't Restart

    Engine Dies/ Won’t Restart: Contact AYC immediately. GETTING UNDERWAY Close the portholes, windows, and forward hatch. Disconnect shore power and store cord. Once outside the marina, idle the engine while the crew brings in fenders and lines. Assign one crew member to be in charge of securing ports and assign one crew member to be in charge of the dinghy, if towing.
  • Page 13: Sails And Rigging

    SAILS AND RIGGING The furling mainsail is the main driver under sail in this sloop rig sail plan. It is this feature that allows for great sailing in light air. This sail plan however requires early reefing in stronger winds. 15 knots would not be too early for the first reef.
  • Page 14: Dinghy

    DINGHY When towing the dinghy, pull the painter up tight to the boat when maneuvering in the marina to avoid getting the line wrapped around the propeller. The line may be lengthened when underway. Consider assigning one of your crew “dinghy duty” to monitor the status of the dinghy. In rough weather, lift the dinghy with a halyard onto the foredeck and tie down upside down or deflate and compress into bag.
  • Page 15: Anchoring

    ANCHORING Rock n Roll carries a plow type anchor on the bow attached to 300 feet of chain and 25 feet of 1” inch rode. There is a windlass which is controlled by a pendant in the locker. There is also a chain counter located at the starboard helm.
  • Page 16: 12 Volt Dc System

    On shore power, the electrical outlets will be functional under the 110volt AC system. They will not work under the 12-volt DC system. 24 Volt System Since the boat was originally built in Europe, it has some two components that are 24volt. These are the Dishwasher and Heater/Air Conditioning.
  • Page 17: Sanitation System

    SANITATION SYSTEM Marine Head (toilet) Both heads contain a vanity with sink, a showerhead, and electric marine toilets for flushing. Heads are easily plugged by 2-ply tissue, Kleenex, hair, tampons, or paper towels. The only things that go into the head are body waste and a small amount of special marine toilet paper.
  • Page 18 Pumping out: 1. Locate the nearest pumpout station and consult the directions there. 2. The holding tank caps are located on the port/starboard decks. 3. Apply tight seal with the pump nozzle and remove effluent. 4. Rinse the tank with hose water and repeat the pumpout. 5.
  • Page 19: Water System

    WATER SYSTEM Fresh Water Tank RocknRoll has three water tanks with a total of 130 gallons. Budgeting 3 gallons per day per person is a good rule of thumb. To refill the tanks, remove the filler caps located on the port side forward. While the two forward tank fills are obvious, use caution with the aft one located near the pump out cap.
  • Page 20: Shower

    Shower To keep shower tidy and the boat dry, wipe down the shower stall and floor when finished. Check for accumulation of hair in the shower and sink drains. An additional fresh water shower is located under the starboard helm. Ensure that the faucets and nozzle are completely off after use. GALLEY SYSTEMS Propane Stove/Oven The galley has a three burner, gimbaled propane stove with oven.
  • Page 21: Refrigeration

    After using the stove or oven: 1. Turn the propane solenoid switch off. 2. Turn the “Gas Valve” switch off on the electrical panel. 3. Close the valve on the propane tank before retiring for the evening, and at the end of your charter. Refrigeration Turn on refrigeration circuit breaker at the electrical panel and set the desire temperature inside the refrigerator.
  • Page 22: Electronics Systems

    ELECTRONICS SYSTEMS All electronics manuals are located in the forward cabinet behind the settee VHF Radio Rock n Roll is equipped with an “Raymarine” marine VHF radio. Monitor channel 16 while underway, this is also the frequency for contacting the USCG. Most vessel to vessel traffic occurs on 67. You should review the communications section of Chapman’s Piloting to familiarize yourself with these rules before using the transmitter.
  • Page 23: Tv/Dvd Player With Remote Control

    TV/DVD Player with remote control Installed at the center island of the galley, you will find the TV with built in DVD unit. It operates like a normal TV/DVD Unit. Turn the TV/DVD Unit on and off at the electrical panel with the “Instruments” switch marked “TV/DVD”.
  • Page 24: Safety Equipment

    SAFETY EQUIPMENT First Aid Kit The ship’s first aid kit is located in the Nav Table. Please notify AYC of any items used from this kit during your trip so they may be replaced. Fire Extinguishers There are four fire extinguishers aboard. One is located at the right foot of the V-Berth. The second is located in the port stateroom at the foot of the bed.
