1. Vessel Descripton
Holoholo is a Arthur DeFever designed cruising yacht. The boat brand is Defever and
model type is 53 ft. POC, (Performance Offshore Cruiser). Holoholo was built in 1986 and
Grosses 56 tons. She has a beam of 16' 6'' with a 4' 8'' draft and carries 600 gallons of fuel in
2 separate steel tanks. It has capacity for 400 more gallons in 2 central tanks located mid ship
but these are unused in northwest waters. It has capacity for 400 gallons of water in 2 steel
tanks located in the engine room. The steering is hydrolic. She is powered by twin 3208TA,
(Turbo After cooled), diesel Caterpillar engines for a total of 375 hp. She cruises easily at 9
knots, using about 7-9 gal/hr. This gives the vessel an effective range of aprox. 750 nautical
miles from its 2 separate 300gal tanks. Two Onan generators, (one 8KW, and one 15KW),
augment electrical power needs. The lower deck has three staterooms each with private bath
and shower. The master cabin is located in the stern and has an entrance from the main
salon via a delightful spiral staircase. The forward staterooms are accessed via stairs off the
starboard wheelhouse. Because the master birth is separated from the other two rooms by
the large walk in stand up engine room, the layout provides great privacy. The aft deck is
large and accommodates ample outdoor seating for socializing. The fly bridge is accessed via
a staircase from starboard wheel house. All major navigation operations can be managed
from the fly bridge if you wish.
About Art DeFever:
Arthur DeFever was born in 1918. As a budding naval architect, at the age of 17, the
California native built his first boat, a wooden rowboat. He rowed it solo to Catalina Island.
DeFever began designing vessels in earnest in the 1950s. He designed long-range tuna
fishing vessels, which were considered innovative at the time. These tuna vessels proved
highly reliable and seaworthy. They stayed away from port for weeks at a time, traveling long
distances to Central and South America before returning safely with their catch.
Arthur DeFever departed from traditional
yacht building habits in the mid 1980's with
this new 53ft. POC model, which was built in
the Sen Koh yard, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It was
designed 30% lighter than other comparable
yachts by utilizing composite sandwich type
fiberglass construction that not only reduced
weight, and increased strength. It eliminated
the need for extensive, space wasting, old
style stringer systems, and allowed for more
space for long range cruising. Composite
construction is used in today's modern Mega
Yachts. Arthur DeFever and his yachts were
ahead of their time. Arts commercial work
informed his trawler yacht designs right up
until the end of his life. Arthur DeFever, a
founding father of the trawler lifestyle, died April 10th 2013 and was buried at sea. He was 94.
It has been estimated that more than 3,800 boats were built to his designs.

2. The Meaning of “Holoholo”
My wife Becky was raised as a young girl on the Island of Hawaii. Her father was a Doctor
on the Dole pineapple plantation and mother was a nurse there. She enjoyed growing up
in the Island life style as only 1 of two white girls in their town. Holoholo is a Hawaiian
term. It is a verb. A typical use would be, “Lets go holoholo.” Normally this would imply that
you were off work and had free time to just go have fun with friends. Travel somewhere with
no particular agenda or time frame. Go where you want, stay as long as you wish, enjoy each
others company and most importantly.....have fun! We are happy to have you aboard as a
guest and hope, on your trip, you will learn and enjoy the true meaning of “Holoholo”.

Always “Pause” for 2-3 seconds in NEUTRAL before changing from forward to reverse.
Always have engines at lowest possible RPM when changing from Neutral to reverse.
3. Basics
Spend time reading the ops manuals and looking at the pictures so that when you are on
the vessel you will know where everything is and everything will look familiar. Every morning
or before you get on to your daily activities. Even if you are not going anywhere, go to the
engine room. It has a large entrance door on your right at the base of the circular stairs to the
master cabin. It has full stand up walk in capabilities and very easy to access.
 check water level in bilge
 check oil in ALL 4 engines
 check electrical power levels of batteries
 check fluid level of holding tank, potable water, and fuel
Once you know how, this is a 10 minute job. In various places in this ops manual you will see
pictures and details on how to perform these essential tasks. This will help to ensure a safe
and trouble free trip. Also become familiar with “below water level” sea cock locations. See
appendix diagram “A”.

4. Engines
a. Start Up
Unplug shore power and insure main breaker “Energy Source” is switched to “OFF”
position. Turn on all appropriate breaker switches for getting under way. Turn ship’s
GPS on with navigation, VHF radio, Bow thruster and Radar if needed. Move shift and
throttle controls and ships wheel for and aft to assure they are functioning properly
before starting engines. Make sure shift controls are in neutral and fuel levers are in
downward/ aft most position. Turn Ignition Switch to right “ON”, low oil pressure
buzzer will sound when ignition key is engaged unless it is disabled with toggle
switch. Turn key and run engine at least 10 minutes at low idle before getting under
way. Check engine gauges. Test bow thruster functionality before leaving dock.
Labels by the gauges indicate normal operating ranges.

NOTE:
It is a good practice to have a brief meeting with crew prior to freeing lines in order for the
captain to discuss the plan for egress with the crew. This is especially true if there is wind,
currents or other tricky piloting situations. Two red floating waterproof hand held walkie talkies
are located on port side if pilot house. Utilize these to help facilitate communication between
captain and crew. Make sure all mooring lines, fenders and anything that is loose is stowed
before getting underway. No lines should be stored in the port or starboard walkways as they
could fall overboard and foul the propellers.
b. Monitoring
Check the oil level in both CAT engines. The dip stick handles are Red in color and
CAT oil levels should be between the hash marks. DO NOT OVERFILL THE OIL
above the high level on the dipstick. It is ok for the CATs to run when the oil level is
near the lower line. It takes around 2 quarts to fill the oil supply from the lower line to
the upper line on the dipsticks. Checking the oil should happen daily, before cruising.
Check the oil level in both Onan generators as well. Add oil if level is low.
DO NOT FILL above high dipstick level.
Note: Cruise at ¾ throttle for about 5 minutes before going to max. cruising
RPM of around 1500 rpm.
6.
c. Engine Shut Down
Always wait and let all engines cool down under “No Load” situation for at least 5
minutes before turning them off. This includes the 2 gensets.
Note: Unlike in a car leave ignition keys
in the “On” position and just depress
the metal “OFF” button to stop the engines.

5. Fuel Management
Check daily. Fuel levels can be directly
visualized in the engine room on the
“see through” vertical clear plastic pipes
mounted to both starboard and port tanks.

Fuel usage is depent engine RPM, wind , tides, cruising speed and use of generators will
all influence the amount of fuel used /day. In general you can assume the following:
Primary engines.....6-7 gal/hr.
15Kw generator......1.2 gal/hr.
8Kw generator........ .6 gal/hr.
As noted earlier check your fuel usage daily and plan you fuel stops to make sure you are
never below 25%.
5. Generators
There are 2 Onan generators on Holoholo. The15Kw one is located starboard midship of
in the engine room. It will generate about 110 Amps of 110 Volt electricity The 8kw Onan is
located in same area but on port side, and will generate about 60 Amps of 110 Volt
electricity. They are used separately to augment the ships electrical power systems.
Decide which generator you wish to use. The 8kw generator will provide approximately 65
amps of power and the 15kw generator will provide approximately 110 amps. If you have
low energy load needs, and are not using the electric heat you may wish to use the
smaller generator. If you are going to be using the heater systems, hot water heater, the
oven or have multiple high amp draws, you should use the 15kw “starboard” generator.
7.
To start the Generator
1. Assure the generator main breakers are in the “OFF” position before starting
either the #1 or the #2 generator.
2. Push the appropriate PRE HEAT toggle switch located in the main electrical panel
to the right and hold for 15-20 seconds.
3. While continuing to hold the PRE HEAT switch, push the appropriate starter
switch to the right and hold for 10 seconds to start the respective generator. When
the generator starts release both of the switches.
4. Allow to warm up a few minutes then you may apply any needed loads, i.e. oven,
dingy winch, hair dryers, water heater etc.

6. Electrical Systems and Management
Electrical power is a limiting factor on a boat. Whether at anchor using battery power (12 volt
DC system and inverter for 120 volt AC), or powered by ships generator for ample 120 volt
AC, or connected to shore power there is a limit to the amount available. Understanding and
monitoring your usage will insure you have a comfortable and trouble free adventure.
The main electric panel located in the wheelhouse contains both AC and DC switches/circuit
breakers. The right side with is for the AC or 110 volt power. The left side is for DC or 12 volt
power. In addition to shore power there are two generators (#2 is 8kw and #1 is 15kw) plus
9 deep cycle battery banks. The “start” batteries are isolated from the house batteries.
a. Sources of Power:
1. 30 Amp Shore Power
This is the standard shore power available at most marinas. Use the appropriate
30 amp cord to plug into the 30 amp plug in the and power source at the marina.
The cord is located in the storage area in the middle of the seating area below the
cushion on of the bow seating area.
2. 50 Amp Shore Power
A 50 amp chord is also located under the flip up hatch below the cushion as
well.

3. Onan Genset #1 *8kw
4. Onan Genset #2 *15kw
5. Ships 2 main engines
6. Deep Cycle and “Start Batteries”
b. Hooking Up to Shore Power
The main power panel for Holoholo is located on the forward port side of the wheel
house. Open the cabinet door and make sure that the main electrical breaker for the
“shore power” is OFF. Make sure the main breaker on the dock is OFF then connect
the power cord to the power supply. Turn the Breaker on, then return to Holoholo, now
switch the main energy source selector knob to the “Shore 1” position for 50 amp
service or “Shore 2” position for 30 amp service.
The AC voltage gauge on the top left side of panel just below and left of steering wheel
should show 120 volts, and indicator light should be on. Turn on the proper breakers to
supply power to the circuits needed. Please review the Green, Yellow and Red
designations for each circuit as you connect and disconnect the panel to/from the
power supply. 3.
c. Disconnecting from Shore power
To disconnect form shore power, move the main energy source selector knob on the
Main Breaker Panel “OFF”. Now head to dock switch breaker to “off” position and
disconnect the power cord from the dock first, then from the boat. Close the
shore power cover on Holoholo. Stow the cord in the white cushion bow seating area.
d. Managing Electrical Needs While Under Way
Each 3208 TA Caterpillar engine has a high output alternator which will charge the
starter and house batteries while running. You cannot run down the ships starter
batteries because they are electrically isolated by a master breaker in the engine
room. While under way if your electrical needs are low the alternator will generate
enough electricity to power most items. The “Newmar Phase 3 Inverter Charger” will
electrically “invert” the 12 Volt energy created by the ships engines alternator to
standard 110 Volt electrical energy that you have in your home. All the standard plugs
on board Holoholo are 110 Volt. While under way the energy in these plugs is coming
from the inverter. If your electrical needs are more than the inverter can produce all
110 Volt energy going to the ships plugs will stop. When you check the inverter there
will be a RED light indicating “Insufficient Energy Input” The fridge will turn off and
the inverter will cease to make electricity. The remedy for this is to diminish your
electrical loads or turn on a generator and switch the “Main Panel” source indicator
from the “OFF” position to the appropriate generator position. This will immediately
restore 110 Volt electricity and charge the batteries as well.
Inverter is located on the Port
side in the engine room mounted
on the wall.
Battery Charge Ammeter
This unit is located in the
engine room on the aft
most wall. Toggle the
various switches to test.
If there is a “red” LED light indicating
“Low Energy Input” you will need to
lower your energy needs or start a generator.
9.
e. Cooking
To use the oven you must be either plugged into shore power OR have a generator running. If
you wish to use the microwave and coffee maker and toaster recognize that you are using a lot
of energy and will likely need to limit use of these high Amp draw units to only a combination of
2 at a time. For example the oven and coffee maker. If you add the toaster to the mix it will likely
trip a breaker on the main breaker panel. Augmenting your cooking energy needs by utilizing
the propane BB-Q will help reduce electrical energy needs.
f. A/C and Cabin Heat Management
If you are using the boat in the “off season” you will likely need a heat source at times.
At this time you will need to either be hooked up to shore power OR, have a generator
on. There are 2 electric wall heaters. One in the main salon and along the starboard wall
and the other at the bottom of the spiral stair case leading to the master cabin. They are
turned on buy the “Main Electric Heat Panel” located just below and to the left of the pilot
house steering wheel. Flip the Top breaker on to energize panel and use the other
breaker below as needed. There are 5 separate water pump fed Hydronic heat systems.

2. Turn on appropriate breaker.
3. Go to the “Zone” you want on and turn knob #1 to START
4. Select heat or cool then turn knob to “run”
One hydronic heat system
will use 19 Amps.
7. Potable water system and management
a. General Description
The domestic water tanks supply the kitchen, ice maker, sinks and showers, the spigot on
the bow on port side of bow cushioned seating area to the Windlass and the sink that is
located in the cockpit. There are two 250 gallon steel water tanks located on the port and
starboard side in the middle of the engine room about waist high to the left and right of the
port and starboard engines. There is a pressure pump and pressurized water tank so the
pump does not cycle on every time water is used.
Blue Weltrol water tank supplies
pressurized potable water
throughout the boat.
Starboard

Level regularly and fill at the
Stb. and Port filling plates.
10.
b. Shower Water
There is a private shower in each of the guest rooms. The shower waste water drains
through the cross hatched teak floor of the shower into a large collection tub in the bilge
nearby each shower. There is a separate tub and float switch actuated pump to discharge
water overboard for each one of the shower units For location of the shower bilge tubs
see appendix “C”.
c. On Deck Wash Down Hose
There are two separate deck hoses. Both are located on the port side stowage box just
under flip up lid. The one on your right as you look at the storage area is warm fresh
potable water for a rinse down after swimming, and the one on your left is cold sea water
for washing down the anchor before stowage.
8. Anchoring
a. Basics
The anchor is a 60 lb. stainless steel Suncor Plowmaster all chain rode wich consists of
300’ of chain with about 20’ of nylon line at the “bitter end”. The nylon line is used in case
of emergency to release the anchor by cutting the line. The chain is marked with RED
plastic indicators. Each one representing 50'. If you see three reds you know there is 150'
of chain payed out. To let down the anchor lift / push anchor out of its cradle as you
press the RIGHT button by the anchor with your foot this allows the anchor to feed out and
not to free fall. Retrieval of the anchor is done by pressing the left foot button.
The anchor winch runs off 12 volt batteries and uses a lot on energy
so always have motor or generator running when using the anchor.
Also ensure both windlass “breakers” are in the “On” position.
Bow
This is the MAIN anchor breaker
switch. It is located in the engine
room directly on your left as you enter.
“Red” light indicates anchor winch is “ON”.
UP
Down
The other anchor breaker located on the “Main DC breaker
Panel” must be in the “ON” position as well for winch to operate.
b.Scope and Tides
Proper scope is important for safe anchoring. The sheltered coves of the Northwest require
a 4:1 or 5:1 scope on calm windless nights. Scope is the relationship of length of rode
(chain, line, cable) to the depth of the water. If the water is 20’ deep, 4:1 scope would be
80’ of chain from the surface of the water. Greater scope will increase the diameter the
boat will travel during the changing wind and tide. Longer scope than your neighbor could
swing you into their path. The greater the scope the more holding power the anchor will
have. Heavy conditions could require a scope as much as 10:1 and would indicate a poor
choice for the night.
11.
Anchoring cont.
It is important to check the tide tables to know at what point in the
range you are anchoring. It is not uncommon to see a 15’ change from high to low tide. If
you anchor in 10’ at low tide with 30’ of rode, at high tide you will have 30’ of rode in 25’ of
water. This situation would not provide an effective amount of holding power. Likewise,
anchoring in the same conditions at high tide will put you hard aground at low tide.
c. Setting the Anchor
1. The boat should be stopped facing into the wind.
2. Ensure that the “Anchor” breaker on the DC panel is on. Assure the Main Anchor
Breaker” is in the “on” position.
3. The anchor is not self launching so you will need to pull out than anchor from its bedding
location by hand and gently allow the weight overboard. Carefully lower the anchor over
the roller making.
4. Depress the Windlass deck switch to lower the chain.
5. Let out the proper amount of rode based on scope desired.
6. Put both engines astern momentarily to put a strain on the anchor.
7. Verify the anchor is set by seeing the boat move forward and slack the chain.
d. Raising the Anchor
1. Have the boat running with captain at the helm.
2. Have a crew member operate the deck “up” and “down” switches. Motor forward in
direction of the chain in order to achieve maximum slack line and have crew member
depress the “up” as slack develops. When the anchor chain is directly vertical you are
right above the anchor and in 5-10 second bursts retrieve the rest of the anchor
3. When the anchor is clear of the water make sure it is clean of mud. A boat brush and
hose may be used to assist this. Be careful for the last couple feet to make sure the
anchor is facing the proper direction, and seats correctly when on board
9. Dingy Ops
1. Turn on the Davit Breaker on the Heating A/C
breaker panel electric panel. (This is the one
below and left of steering wheel), labeled
“Upper Deck outlets” It is the 5th switch from
the top. This is an AC breaker so the
generator must be running or attached to
shore power. Remove rail from starboard side
of boat deck.
2. Prepare the davit for use: a. Plug in the davit
winch plug into the receptacle just below and
behind the starboard seat on flybridge. Hook
up the davit clip to the harness ring on either
the Kayak or the dingy.
3. Press the “out” button to release the tension to unclip the cable as needed.
4. Attach the hoist cable the dinghy bridle
12.
5.
6. Press the “in” button to raise the dinghy until the cable
weight is ½ inch from the top of hoist. 8. Swing the dinghy
outward until it is parallel to the starboard side of Holoholo.
(Both launch and retrieval of the dinghy requires the bow
to of dingy to face the bow of Holoholo. Be careful not to
hit the railing sides or upright as you swing the davit arm
outward and lower until the dinghy is floating.
7. Unclip the four snap hooks of the bridle from the dinghy
and retrieve the cable.
8. Clip the bridle hooks to the boat deck. Replace the port side rail and clip the safety chain
at the opening of the rails.
Never ever allow anyone
under the dingy or Kayak
while using the davit system.

Coming Soon.
10. Waste Management
There are 3 Heads all are electric macerator type and use fresh
water to flush. Remember, a. DO NOT PUT ANYTHING
DOWN THE HEADS THAT HAS NOT BEEN EATEN FIRST.
Check the tank monitor located in the engine room directly
on the your left. It is on the aft facing wall.
FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY: All the heads hav a “Y” valve
located near by, (see appendix A). This valve should only be used
when in compliance with all rules and laws. The blue arrow shows
the button to depress to discharge waste in holding tank. Assure appropriate seacock is
“OPEN”, see Appendix A.

When the “Y” valve is turned to “Overboard” the toilet will flush directly overboard.
When the “Y” valve is turned to “Holding Tank” it will flush into the holding tank which has a
capacity of approximately 53 gallons. You must comply with all laws and rules when
emptying this tank. By checking frequently you will become familiar with how fast your
group fills the holding tank. The less water used to flush the longer it takes to fill the holding
tank
