Note: Propane bottles are not stocked by AYC. You will need to purchase one if extras are not found
on board.
Caution -- For safety reasons, do not store an opened propane bottle within the salon or engine
compartment. Chances are these will leak slightly once opened and propane gas could settle into
low spaces. Store these bottles in the cockpit cabinet. Ensure gasoline and flammable materials are
not near the barbecue.
DINGHY
Your 9’ BOMBARD DINGHY has a capacity of about 800 pounds (motor, equipment, and 4
people). Be sure when towing your dinghy, that one responsible individual is always keeping an eye
on its tow rope when slowing down or stopping. Bring up all the slack to prevent a wrap around the
prop.
When rowing your dinghy to shore, use EXTREME CAUTION. Choose an area free of any large
rocks that might cause harm in beaching. Lift up on the dinghy to bring it up to higher ground.
NEVER drag it! Secure it when leaving as the tides come up very quickly.
OTHER/SAFETY EQUIPMENT
SAFETY should be paramount in your daily cruising. A MAN OVERBOARD DRILL should be
discussed and perhaps even practiced with a life jacket. Remember your lifejackets are stowed under
the STBD aft cockpit seat. A few should always be out and ready. Your fares and safety equipment
are located under the cup holder at the front of the helm.
Velocity is equipped with an AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMP. The master switch is located on the DC
electrical panel. Normally, the switch will be left in the AUTO position. You may occasionally hear
the pump operate due to condensation and water from the shaft log accumulating
in the bilge.
An AUXILIARY HAND OPERATED BILGE PUMP is operated near the
boarding stairs in the cockpit using the handle provided for that purpose (under
the port cockpit seat). This is used only in emergency situations.
A SPARE PROPELLER is found in cabinet on the side of the navigation station.
