2 BOAT OPERATION
Become familiar with the various systems outlined in this manual. Starlight Express has many
features designed for comfort, convenience, and safety. Proper use of these features will promote a
safe and relaxed trip.
2.1
Important Points
Remember “WOBBS” each morning: Water Coolant, Oil, Bilge, Belts, Sea Strainer. Any problem is
easier to fix while moored and more difficult while adrift.
Monitor both AC and DC electrical systems carefully. Be aware of power consumption, available
power, and charging capacity. Reduce use of non-essential electrical devices.
Sustained engine speed for fast cruising is 2400 RPM (80-percent rated power), about 16-knots.
Avoid engine speeds above 2400 RPM. Cruising at 2200 RPM will achieve 14 to 15-knots and
reduce fuel rate consumption.
Lubricants, common spare parts, and tools are located in the engine compartment and beneath the
salon portside seat (see Appendices C and D).
Protect the interior from damage, including vinyl coverings, headliners, mattresses, wallpaper,
woodwork, countertops, carpet, and appliances.
2.2
2.2.1
Engine Inspection
Forward Engine Compartment
Turn ON lights to the engine compartments at the ENGINE ROOM LIGHT switch on the Pilothouse
DC Panel. Raise the passageway staircase hatch to enter the forward engine compartment. .
Just forward of the hatch opening, note the positions of the valve levers on the FUEL MANAGEMENT
BOARD. Normally, all levers will be in vertical position, except for the generator may switched to port
fuel tank.
Check the glass bowls of the PRIMARY FUEL FILTERS on the port and starboard bulkheads for
water or debris. Use a paper cup to catch the mixture. Rotate the thumb-wheel valve. Drain fuel
until water and debris are removed. Recheck the bowl later.
On the starboard bulkhead, check the glass bowl of the GENERATOR FUEL FILTER for water or
debris. Check the glass bowl of the COOLANT HEATER FILTER for water or debris. Drain and
clean as necessary.
On the starboard bulkhead, check the pressure gauge on the HYDRAULIC SHIFT RESERVOIR.
Pressure should be 80-85 PSI for best operation. A pump is located in the toolkit if pressure needs to
be restored.
Page 13 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
On the port bulkhead, note the position of the WATER TANK SELECTOR valve – water is drawn from
either the forward or aft water tanks located beneath the forward stateroom. If the FRESHWATER
PUMP is runs intermittently, the cause is usually an empty tank. Flip the selector valve to a full tank.
2.2.2
Main Engine Compartment
Within the Forward Engine Compartment, remove the bulkhead hatch to the main engine
compartment and lay it aside the aisle.
Inspect each engine for abnormal conditions. Check the general condition of HOSES, FUEL LINES,
and AIR INTAKES.
Check the ENGINE COOLANT reservoirs for normal range.
Check the OIL level. With a paper towel or rag handy, raise the dipstick. A pair of etch marks on
each dipstick indicates minimum and maximum oil level. If it is necessary to add oil, open the
floorboards in the Salon to access the top of the engine compartment. Open the oil filler cap on valve
cover of No 1 piston. Use a funnel to pour oil. Recheck the dipstick. Wipe spills.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL the engine oil. Damage may result. Recheck the oil level
periodically. Report unusual consumption.
Check the TRANSMISSION FLUID level in each transfer case. The red-colored twist caps and
dipstick are on top of the transfer case housings.
CAUTION: Ensure the caps are tightened to prevent contamination.
Be sure the RAW WATER SEACOCK valves to the engines are in the ‘open’ position (lever in-line
with valve). Check the glass container of the RAW WATER STRAINER for debris. If necessary,
close the seacock, loosen the thumbscrews on the strainer cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble.
CAUTION: Remember to recheck each seacock position after servicing.
Lift the engine compartment floor panel. Test the automatic bilge pump by lifting on the tab switch to
activate pump manually. If defective, take necessary steps to determine the cause and fix – this is
the first line of defense for flooding.
2.2.3
Lazarette
Open the center Lazarette hatch at the Cockpit.
Check the STEERING FLUID level and the TRIM TAB FLUID level in their containers on the transom.
Periodically, check the BATTERY FLUID levels in the batteries when in long use. Ensure fluid covers
the plates. Top off with DISTILLED water as necessary. Do not overfill.
CAUTION: Use DISTILLED WATER only – bottled water will destroy the batteries.

2.3
Operation Manual
Engine Startup
At the DC Electrical Panel, turn ON the Port and Starboard “Engine” breakers. Turn ON the ‘Trim
Tab’ breaker.
At the pilothouse station, move the GEAR SHIFT levers forward and backward to check freedom of
movement. Return levers to the ‘neutral’ position -- the ignition safety switch will prevent starting if
the shifts levers are not neutral.
Move the THROTTLES forward and backward to check freedom of movement. Then return them to
the ‘idle’ position (aft position).
Insert the keys into the IGNITION SWITCHES. Start one engine at a time as described below.
Turn the key clockwise partway until the ENGINE ALARM sounds and ENGINE PRE-HEAT LAMP
turns ON. Observe the lamp, and wait for it to turn OFF.
Then, turn the key fully clockwise to engage the starter motor. If the starter motor does not engage
when the key is turned, check for neutral position of the gearshift lever – adjust, and try again.
In cooler conditions, it may be necessary to add a slight amount of throttle.
If the engine cranks very slowly and fails to turn over, check the condition of the engine battery on the
DC ELECTRICAL PANEL. If the battery is low, the opposite engine battery can be added to boost
starting power. Press and hold the BATTERY PARALLEL switch on the Helm Panel to combine the
other engine battery, while attempting to restart the engine.
After starting, raise the engine speed to 1000 rpm on the TACHOMETER slowly. Warm the engine
for 2 to 4 minutes. Observe the readings on the VOLTMETER, OIL PRESSURE GAUGE,
TEMPERATURE GAUGE, and FUEL GAUGE. The oil pressure should indicate at least 40 PSI within
10 seconds.
CAUTION -- If oil pressure is low, shutdown the engine, and inspect engine compartment and look for
possible cause (for example, loss of oil.)
Check the ENGINE EXHAUST on the stern to ensure water is flowing.
CAUTION -- If engine overheats or there is lack of raw water expelled in the engine exhaust, stop the
engine. Recheck the seacock (raw-water valve) for ‘open position’. Recheck the raw water strainer
for debris. Check for a broken engine belt, which turns the raw water pump. Restart the engine, and
re-check for water flow at the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the RAW WATER PUMP may
need to be serviced. Please seek assistance!
Repeat the procedure above for the other engine.
2.4
Engine Operation
Monitor oil pressure and coolant temperature gauges frequently. Oil pressure should remain above
40 PSI. Coolant temperature should be between 150 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Page 15 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
ENGINE SPEED for cruising is 2400 RPM (80% of rated power). This will achieve a satisfactory
cruising speed, depending upon boat load and sea condition.
Look and listen for changes in engine performance, sound, or appearance that may indicate need for
service. An ‘ear protector’ is found in the engine forward compartment to aid in visual inspections.
CAUTION -- If an engine overheats or the alarm sounds, stop the engine immediately. Do an engine
inspection to determine cause.
2.5
Engine Shutdown
Before shutting down engines, allow time for cooling, gradually and uniformly. The time period
engaged in docking the boat is usually sufficient.
Move each GEARSHIFT is in the ‘neutral’ position and each THROTTLE is in the ‘idle’ position. Turn
each ignition key to OFF position.
Check INSTRUMENT PANEL switches on Bridge and Pilothouse and turn off unnecessary DC
electrical devices.
2.6
2.6.1
Getting Underway
Shore Power
The SHORE POWER INLETS are located on the starboard side.
When disconnecting POWER CORDS, first turn OFF the DOCKSIDE MASTER breakers on the
PILOTHOUSE AC ELECTRICAL PANEL and check for zero volt on the voltmeter.
Next, go to the shore station and turn the Shore Power switch OFF. Then, disconnect the cord from
the shore receptacle. Last, disconnect the cord from the boat inlet. .
WARNING: To avoid danger of electrical shock by accidentally dropping ‘hot’ cord into the water,
avoid handling the cord while it is connected to the shore receptacle.
Stow the POWER CORDS beneath the starboard Lazarette hatch. Extra 30-amp power cord
extensions, as well as a 50-amp cord, are stored there also.
Two CORD ADAPTERS (20-amp and 15-amp) are located in the PILOTHOUSE AC ELECTRICAL
cabinet. Use these to adapt the 30-amp power cord to 20-amp or 15-amp shore power receptacles.
To reconnect shore power, reverse the procedure above, first connecting the cord to the boat, then to
the shore station.
2.6.2
Inside Stowage
Close the PORTHOLES and the FORWARD HATCHES. Close salon windows as necessary. Latch
or close DOORS.
Page 16 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
Check the GALLEY, the SALON, and STATEROOMS for items that will topple or spill underway (e.g.
drink glasses, coffee cups, and food bowls). Place loose items inside CABINETS and DRAWERS
and push-in the latch buttons.
2.6.3
Bimini Cover
The BIMINI COVER may be deployed or stowed. To stow, release the canvas snaps from the mast.
Fold the frame forward and secure the straps and frame in standing position. Wrap the BIMINI BOOT
canvas around the bimini – the boot is normally stowed beneath the bridge seat portside.
2.7
Cruising
Brief crewmembers on their departure duties and assign positions for handling SPRING LINES,
DOCK LINES and assisting others. Once clear of traffic, crewmembers can stow FENDERS and
lines.
Operate the vessel from either helm, which ever provides visibility for the course, speed, weather, sea
conditions and comfort. Normally, close-quarter maneuvering is best from the bridge helm.
During limited visibility, turn on the NAVIGATION LIGHTS at the DC Panel and the helm switches.
Ensure the TRIM TAB switch is ON at the DC Electrical Panel.
Before changing to high-speed cruising, rock both TRIM TAB rocker switches in the ‘bow-down’
position to deflect the trim tabs downward. This will help the boat to plan as it accelerates.
In ‘following-sea’ conditions or swells, favor a ‘bow-up’ trim position to avoid plowing into waves.
Perform trim adjustments carefully.
Ensure the THROTTLES are ‘idle’ before engaging the GEAR SHIFTERS to avoid engine and
transmission damage.
Move both THROTTLES slowly and allow the engines to power up. Equalize engine speeds on the
ENGINE SYNCHRONIZER on the Pilothouse helm.
An engine speed of 2400 RPM should achieve a comfortable speed, depending upon boat
configuration, weight, and sea conditions. Avoid engine speeds above 2400 RPM for more than a
short duration. Higher engine speed causes higher engine stresses and higher fuel consumption.
However, vary the engine speed slightly during a cruise.
2.8
Docking
During docking, the Bridge helm usually offers greater visibility all around.

Anticipate the document maneuver, and issue clear instructions on how docking will (or may) take
place. Assign line-handling duties. Under very ideal conditions, an able crewmember may plan to
step off the swim step (not jump) to the dock and control a STERN LINE at the nearest cleat.
Other crewmembers can be assigned at the foredeck and amidships to assist with DOCK LINES and
SPRING LINES.
Re-position the TRIM TABS to the ‘bow up’ position (press 8 to 10 seconds) to make slow-speed
backing and turning easier.
While moving toward dock, center the WHEEL to straighten rudders, and use the engine
GEARSHIFTS, THROTTLES, and good seamanship to maneuver. If BOW THRUSTER as required
for positioning the bow, push the two ON buttons simultaneously to activate the joystick. Move the
joystick toward the desired direction, port or starboard.

2.9.1
Operation Manual
Fuel
Refueling
Each fuel tank holds 222 gallons – total of 444 gallons. Turn the ignition keys ON to read the
Pilothouse fuel gauges.
It is good practice to refuel before the tanks reach ¼ full. The best reason is to avoid the anxiety of
searching for fuel.
DIESEL FUEL FILLS are located on each side, aft of the pilothouse doors. Fuel vents are located in
the hull near the fills. Remove FILLER CAPs with the CAP REMOVAL TOOL.
At the pump, make sure the attendant gives you the correct fuel hose – DIESEL, DIESEL, DIESEL!
Make sure the nozzle is at the ‘DIESEL’ deck fills – not the sewage holding tank. Double-check to
avoid catastrophe. Have extra oil sorbs handy to soak up spilled fuel.
Many fuel docks do not have adequate hose length to reach the opposite side deck fill and it may be
necessary to route the hose through the pilothouse. Please take steps to protect the carpet and
interior . Reposition rugs, mats, or oil sorbs beneath the path of the hose. Wrap an oil sorb around
the nozzle to catch. Wipe the hose clean with sorbs or towels to remove fuel, grease, and dirt as it
passes through the pilothouse.
Have a rough idea of the number of gallons needed based on the fuel gauges, e.g. ½ full is about 110
gallons. Position self or a crewmember to watch the diesel pump meter or relay the numbers.
Place the nozzle into the tank opening. Pump slowly and evenly. Note the sound of the fuel flow.
Pumping too fast may not allow time for air to escape, which may result in fuel spray from the
opening. As the tank fills, the sound will rise in pitch or gurgle. Pay attention to the TANK
OVERFLOW VENT on the outside of the hull near the tank fill. Spurting may indicate the tank is
nearly full. Top off carefully. Be prepared to catch spilled fuel from the overflow vent and the fill
opening. (Note. Spillage will result in a nasty fine from law enforcement.)
Replace each tank fill cap – do not over-tighten. Cleanup spillage immediately with oil sorbs for
environmental and health reasons. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly.
2.9.2
Fuel Management
The FUEL MANAGEMENT BOARD is located beneath the stairs in the front of the engine
compartment. Fuel can be directed from either tank to the engines and generator using the supply
valves. Recheck the position of the valve levers each time exiting the engine compartment.

3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
Boat electrical is organized into TWO distribution systems: DC and AC:
•
•
DC (Direct Current) – supplies boat systems, lights, and electronics.
AC (Alternating Current) – supplies 120V appliances, similar to household use
DC power has six sources:
• House Battery Bank - main boat systems, lights, and electronics
• House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) – AC devices connected to inverter and other components
• Starboard Engine Battery – Starboard Engine starting
• Port Engine Battery – Port Engine starting
• Generator Battery – Diesel Generator starting
• Thruster Battery (24V) – Bow Thruster operation
AC power has three sources:
• Shore power – dockside power station
• 12 kilowatt Diesel generator – generator in Lazarette
• DC-AC Inverter – for select AC devices connected to inverter
The boat electrical components are controlled from the Pilothouse AC and DC ELECTRICAL
PANELS, the BATTERY PANEL in the Salon aft port cabinet, and the Thruster BATTERY switch in
the Forward Stateroom.
When Shore Power or the Generator is not used, the batteries are providing all 12-volt DC power and
the “inverted” 120-volt AC power. Batteries have limited capacity. Under this condition, monitor the
use of electricity carefully. Turn OFF unnecessary electrical devices to conserve battery power.
Shore Power, generator, or engine alternators will restore battery capacity.
AC and DC Panel breakers are labeled for all devices and circuits.

Battery power consumption is measured in ampere-hour (AH or amp-hr). For example, a DC device
that uses 10-amps for 10 hours continuously would consume 100-AH (#amperes multiplied by #hours equals #amp-hrs). Note -The adjustable light bank in the salon consume10+Amps alone.
BATTERY SWITCHES are located in the BATTERY PANEL in the aft cabinet on the port side of
Salon, and for the bow thruster the starboard side of the bunk in the forward stateroom.

Battery Charge Condition
Battery charge condition can be checked on the BATTERY MULTI-METER located on the DC
distribution panel. Rotate the switch between port, starboard, house 1, house 2, generator, and
thruster to measure charging or resting battery voltages and/or current.
While a battery bank is charging, the VOLT METER may read from 13.1 volts to 14.4 volts depending
on the state of the battery.
When a battery bank is resting, the voltmeter will give a rough indication of the state-of-charge of the
battery bank. This is a relative measure of the Amp-Hour (AH) capacity remaining in the battery bank
– see charge capacity above.

Page 23 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
Ensure both the INVERTER AC SUPPLY switch and the INVERTER/CHARGER switch on the
Pilothouse AC Panel are ON for charging during connection to Shore Power or Generator Power.
These switches are normally ON and protected on the panel. Turn OFF before maintenance.
The inverter charger is located beneath the Salon starboard aft seat.
3.1.3.4
House Batteries Automatic Charging Relay
An AUTOMATIC CHARGING RELAY (ACR) connects House Battery Bank #1 (boat systems) and
House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) automatically during charging.
When no charging source is present, the relay disconnects the banks to isolate during discharge. For
example if the House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) is discharging heavily, the disconnected relay will
isolate the House Battery Bank to conserve its storage.
Three indicator LEDs show the following:
•
•
•
GREEN - indicates both banks are connected. If the voltage on both battery banks remains
high, the LED turns ON, and the battery banks will connect in about 1 minute
AMBER – normally ON when banks are being discharged. When the LED turns ON, the
battery banks will disconnect in about 1 minute.
RED - indicates voltage is above over-voltage setting, 15-volts. If the voltage is over-voltage,
the RED LED will turn ON, and the battery banks will disconnect.
The relay is bypassed when the House Batteries Switch is in Battery Combine position. The relay is
located above and forward of the generator beneath the cowling of the middle Lazarette hatch.
3.1.4
House Batteries Switch
The switch is located above and forward of the generator next to the house battery-charging relay.
The HOUSE BATTERIES SWITCH controls usage of the House Battery Bank #1 (boat systems) and
the House Battery Bank #2 (inverter). Normally this switch is in the ON position.
However, in exceptional cases, both House Battery Banks can be combined into one system, for
example, to boost power to a weak battery bank. Turn the switch to the COMBINE position.
When switch is in OFF position, each battery bank is disconnected from boat systems and inverter.
3.1.5
Port Engine–House Battery #2 ACR
To supplement total charging while underway, an AUTOMATIC CHARGING RELAY (ACR) connects
the House Battery Bank #2 (inverter) with the Port Engine alternator (via the port engine battery)
When no charging source is present, the relay disconnects to isolate during discharge between the
Port Engine Battery and the House Battery Bank #2 to conserve its storage.
Note. The yellow manual override control knob provides can be used to combine the battery banks
(in an emergency only). With knob in the REMOTE position, push DOWN until latched ON. Rotate
the knob clockwise to release the knob (pop-up) and rotate the knob back to the REMOTE position.

The system is designed so that Shore Power and Generator CANNOT supply power simultaneously.
The Inverter will supply power to selected AC devices when neither Shore Power nor Generator are
supplying power -- see section Inverter Power for more information.
Whatever AC source is used, the total power usage of AC components could exceed the service
capacity of the power service. For example, if the power service is 30-amps AC, a combination of
components exceeding 30-amps will cause the Line 1 AC circuit breaker to trip OFF. It may be
necessary to turn off AC components to not exceed capacity of the power service.

service options below).
Shore POWER CORDS are found beneath the Lazarette starboard hatch.
Page 26 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
Before connecting to shore power, turn OFF the DOCKSIDE MASTER breakers on the AC master
panel.
Connect the shore power cord to the boat inlet. Allow slack in the cable. Turn OFF the switch on the
shore power receptacle, then connect the cord to the receptacle. Then, turn ON the shore power
receptacle.
CAUTION: Always attach the shore power cord to the boat inlet first, then to the dockside connection
last to avoid shock or injury by accidental dropping of “hot” cord into the water.
Move power cord off pathways and shield it from foot traffic. Tidy up excess cordage. Avoid hanging
cord in water.
WARNING: Monitor the electrical panel’s polarity indicator. A “red” light indicates reverse polarity –
DO NOT engage the DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker switch. Reversed polarity is dangerous.
Immediately turn OFF the shore power source, disconnect the cord, and notify dock or marina
management.
Turn ON the DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker switch. The power available light and the VOLTMETER
will read about 110 to 120-volts.
Turn ON individual AC component breakers, as required. If the dockside power capacity is
exceeded, the main breaker will trip. Reduce/turn off excess components before resetting the main
breaker.
3.2.2.2
Service Line Options
Normally, LINE 2 and LINE 3 on the Pilothouse AC Panel are operating in “parallel’ mode with LINE
1. “Parallel mode” is setup when LINE 2 selector switch points to ‘Line 1-2’ and LINE 3 Selector
switch points to ‘Line 1-3”. The MASTER breakers for Lines 2 and 3 are disabled.
In “parallel” mode, the total current is the added values of the 3 AMMETERS. If the total value
current the service capacity of the dockside receptacle (e.g. exceeds 30-amp shore power), the
LINE1 DOCKSIDE MASTER breaker will trip. Reduce individual AC components to not exceed the
service capacity
If more shore power service is available, LINE 2 and/or LINE 3 can be switched separate to “normal”
mode to deliver power to their respective AC line components only. Therefore, more total power
becomes available to the boat, assuming more dockside receptacles are available. In “normal” mode,
each corresponding line AMMETER represents the current.
Note. The most common usage is “parallel” mode.
3.2.3
Generator Operation
The Westerbeke diesel-powered GENERATOR is beneath the Lazarette center hatch. Prior to
operating the generator, ensure the generator SEACOCK VALVE is OPEN and the strainer is
checked for debris. Check the oil level dipstick periodically. Check the coolant fluid located in the
portside cockpit locker. Close the sound enclosure.
Page 27 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
The GENERATOR CONTROLS are located on the Pilothouse AC panel. The GENERATOR
BATTERY cutoff switch is located in the aft cabinet port side of the Salon.
To start the generator, rotate the Generator CONTROL switch to RUN position. Press and hold the
PRE-HEAT/OVERRIDE switch for about 20-seconds for pre-heating. Then, rotate the CONTROL
switch to the START position, releasing it as the generator starts.
Do not operate the starter for more than 30 seconds. If the generator does not start, wait at least 30
seconds, repeat steps above, and then attempt another start.
NOTE. The starting solenoid has been known to stick in the OFF position even when the PREHEAT/OVERRIDE switch is pressed. To check the solenoid operation, open the generator enclosure
and locate the solenoid arm at the front, starboard side of genset. Have an assistant push the PREHEAT switch and observe snap movement of the solenoid arm. If it does not move, tap or nudge the
arm until it is free, and attempt to start.
Monitor the oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage gauges on panel. The generator will
automatically shutdown when oil and temperature conditions become unsatisfactory.
Normally, the boat’s AC system is setup for shore power source on LINE 1 ‘parallel’ mode. To set
up for generator source, turn OFF the Line 1 AC MASTER switch. Slide the breaker lockout protector
to allow the generator. Turn ON the MASTER switch.
Turn ON the GENERATOR MASTER breaker switch.
The power available indicator and the voltage meters will indicate power. If power is not indicate,
recheck both circuit breaker settings above. As a last resort, open the generator enclosure and
ensure the generator unit circuit breaker is turned ON at the rear of the generator unit.
Turn ON AC component breakers as required.
WARNING. Fuel for the generator is supplied from either port or starboard fuel tanks. The Fuel
Management Board valves levers indicate selection. Normally, the levers are matched so the ‘return
fuel’ is routed back to the same tank from which it was ‘drawn’. Otherwise, fuel drawn returned to a
full tank may spill overboard through the tank overfill vent, resulting in environmental hazard.

4 SANITATION SYSTEM
Each crewmember must know the proper use of the Marine Toilets -- this is important. The drain
openings are small -- pipes, valves, and pumps may clog.
Adults should monitor children to make sure nothing foreign (non-waste items) are thrown into the
toilets.
If the HOLDING TANK Warning Light on the Pilothouse DC Panel is RED, take steps to dispose the
sewage immediately.
4.1
Marine Toilet
The MARINE TOILET (Vacu Flush) is emptied at the press of the foot switch. Lifting up the foot
switch will increase the water level in the bowl prior to flushing.
Turn ON the two TOILET switches and the WATER PRESSURE switch on the DC panel.
NEVER put foreign objects (paper towels, tampons, Kleenex, sanitary napkins, household toilet
paper, or food scraps) into the toilet. Foreign objects will damage the pump. Use special marine
tissue paper available from marine supply stores.
If the bowl fails to drain when flushing, the drain opening may be blocked. The opening is small to
prevent foreign objects from reaching the pump. Turn OFF the toilet at the DC panel. Press the
pedal to open the ball valve and clear the debris from the opening.
If the bowl fails to fill with water after a flush, recheck the WATER PRESSURE switch on the DC
Panel.
If the toilet pump activates between flushing, check for presence of water in the bowl. If no water, the
reason is poor seal of the ball valve, resulting in air vacuum break. Press the foot switch to flush and
open the ball valve. Check for toilet paper or other debris between the ball and the seal. Flush clean
as necessary.
4.2
Sanitation Holding Tank
The SANITATION HOLDING TANK capacity is 48 gallons.
Be aware of the sewage production rate for the crew - about 1 gallon per flush. An overfilled tank
may break a hose, clog the air vent, or burst a seal. The result will be indescribable catastrophe and
extensive repair.
Be familiar with the applicable laws concerning dumping sewage directly overboard.
4.2.1
Sanitation Tank Warning
Page 31 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
The HOLDING TANK MONITOR is located on the Pilothouse DC panel. Turn ON the HOLDING
TANK MONITOR switch on the DC Panel. A ‘red’ warning light ON indicates the tank is nearly full.
.Take steps to empty the tank (see below).
Do not rely on the ‘red’ warning light -- check the holding tank fluid level in the engine compartment
starboard side with a flashlight
4.2.2
Marine Pumpout Station
Marine Pumpout Stations are located at many fuel docks and marina floats. Use each refueling
opportunity to empty the sanitation tank. Follow the instructions on the pump unit.
Remove the WASTE CAP located on the starboard side. Double check deck fitting to be sure it is
WASTE.
Insert the pump-out nozzle into the opening. Turn ON the lever located on pump out handle. When
finished, close the lever on handle. Remove from deck fitting.
If water hose is nearby, it is a good idea to add water to the tank and pump out again to reduce head
odors.
Replace the WASTE CAP.
4.2.3
Overboard Discharge
Be familiar with the laws concerning dumping sewage directly overboard.
To discharge, turn ON the Holding Tank Discharge breaker on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Depress
both MACERATOR ROCKER SWITCHES simultaneously on the Pilothouse DC Panel. Listen to the
macerator’s sound. When the pitch becomes higher, the tank is empty. Discharge is on the
starboard side.
It should take a few minutes to empty the tank. Do not run the macerator longer than necessary to
avoid pump burnout.
4.2.4
Y-Valve
The Y-VALVE directs the sewage waste to either the sanitation-holding tank or directly overboard.
The Y-VALVE is located engine compartment starboard side.
Sewage is directed to the sanitation holding tank. The Y-valve is wire-tied to the holding tank position
to meet US Coast Guard regulation. Leave it tied UNLESS there is an emergency.

stale water from the hose before placing nozzle in the tank opening. Avoid flushing debris from the
deck into the tank opening.
5.1.3
Fresh Water Dockside Inlet
A FRESH WATER INLET for shore-based water is found on the hull transom. It can be used in lieu
of the boat water pressure system. Turn OFF the fresh water pressure pump when used. Turn OFF
the shore faucet when not used.
CAUTION. Monitor the water system closely when using this method. Should the boat’s plumbing
develop a leak, fresh water would be delivered continuously to the boat, resulting in flooding.
5.1.4
Water Heater
WATER HEATER capacity is 18-gallons. Hot water is produced in one of 3 ways:
•
•
•
AC Power – Turn ON the WATER HEATER switch on the Pilothouse AC Panel

DIESEL FURNACE HEATER
CABIN ELECTRIC HEATER
Marine Air Electric HEATER and AIR CONDITIONER
The Webasto DIESEL FURNACE heating system (45,000 btu) is the preferred choice. It can be used
in nearly every situation because it is DC powered and runs on diesel fuel. In addition to heating
units, it’s connected to the hot water system, providing warm water at anchor if the system is active.
The King ELECTRIC CABIN HEATERS are available when connected to Shore Power or Generator.
The 4 units provide quick heating, but in local, limited capacity.
The Marine Air HEATING/COOLING units are available when connected to Shore Power or
Generator. The 3 units provide heating or cooling depending upon the thermostat temperature
selection. Each unit can support bulk heating on the coldest days until the Diesel Furnace fires up to
full capacity.
It will be necessary to limit the choice of cabin heaters or marine air heating units to remain within
availability of shore power AC source or the 50-amp Generator.
7.1
Diesel-Furnace Heating System
Seven Webasto fan units provide heating to four comfort zones. The boiler unit and circulation pump
are located beneath the Lazarette port hatch and is controlled from the main system switch located in
the Salon starboard above the Entertainment cabinet.
The individual fan units provide sufficient warmth in the coldest weather. A Webasto thermostat
controls each zone, except the Pilothouse zone..

10 ANCHORING & DOCKING
10.1 Working Anchor
Two anchoring systems are aboard – working and spare. Anchoring techniques can be reviewed in
the Chapman’s Piloting Book.
The WORKING ANCHOR is a Bruce-type anchor weighing 66 lbs (30 kg) mounted on the bow roller.
It is attached to a 100-ft chain and a 200-ft nylon rode passed through the HAUSE PIPE to the
ANCHOR LINE LOCKER located behind the mirror panel in the Forward Stateroom.
10.1.1 Anchor Deployment
Before deployment, free the LOCKING CAMS on the winch sprocket. First, lift and free the locking
cam on the lever and rotate the lever backward to the deck. Then, lift the locking cam on the forward
side and rotate it to the deck. These are used together if manual retrieval of the rode is necessary.
The winch sprocket will rotate freely for power use.
Ensure the clutch has sufficient drag for the gear – use the WINCH CRANK in the forward deck
locker to adjust.
The windlass uses a large amount of DC electrical power; therefore, operate the windlass with the
engines running.
Turn ON the WINDLASS POWER switch in the Pilothouse AC Panel left side
At the foredeck, open the HAUSE PIPE cover to free the rode. Uncover the FOOT PEDAL
CONTROLS.
Maneuver the boat to the chosen location. Tap gently on the DOWN control to slide the anchor over
the roller and to prevent binding.
Let out sufficient ANCHOR RODE (chain and nylon line) before setting the anchor. Colored markers
are placed every 30-feet on the chain and nylon rode, indicated the amount of rode deployed. Set the
anchor by reversing the engines and idling back to pull on the rode.
When finished, turn OFF the windlass panel switch.
CAUTION -- Monitor the boat position periodically to ensure the anchor remains properly set. With
the variety of bottom conditions in Pacific Northwest waters, this is very important, especially in strong
winds, abrupt changes of wind direction, or directional changes of tidal current.
Page 51 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
10.1.2 Anchor Retrieval
Before raising the anchor, run the engines. Turn ON the WINDLASS POWER SWITCH at the
Pilothouse AC Panel. Turn ON the WASHDOWN switch on the DC Panel.
Open the FOREDECK LOCKER and prepare the hose to wash the anchor rode and anchor as it is
raised.
Open the HAUSE PIPE cover to ensure the chain passes freely from the winch sprocket to the rode
locker below.
As the boat moves toward the anchor, press the UP control to take rode as it slackens, rather than
pulling on the rode.
Coordinate the maneuver with the helmsperson to hover the boat above the anchor point while the
anchor is raised. As the anchor nears the surface, wait for the anchor to hang vertically before
raising above the surface, so the anchor does not swing against the hull.
Push gently on the UP control to guide the anchor into proper position onto the bow roller. Gently
return it to resting position on the pulpit.
Note -- Operate the pedal controls in tiny bursts to avoid over-tightening the anchor rode and
damaging the pulpit.
Connect a flexible tie-cord between the anchor and windlass to snug the anchor
Close the plastic covers on the FOOT PEDAL CONTROLS. Turn OFF the WINDLASS power switch
at the AC Panel and the WASHDOWN switch on the DC panel.
10.2 Spare Anchor
The SPARE ANCHOR is a Bruce-Type anchor weighing 44 lb (20 KG). It may be used to replace the
Working Anchor if lost or for special anchoring situations. It is located beneath the Lazarette port
hatch. 12-ft of chain is attached.
Connect the chain shackle to the 200-ft SPARE ANCHOR RODE stowed beneath the Lazarette
starboard hatch.
10.3 State Park Mooring Buoys
The Washington State Park Sticker on your vessel starboard transom allows use of the MOORING
BUOYS in the marine parks.
Mooring buoys usually have a metal triangle on top with a metal ring. The metal ring is attached to the
buoy’s chain. Usually the ring can be lifted to the boat, but the chain is heavy -- a strong
crewmember should assist this mooring task.
Page 52 of 98 Pages
Starlight Express
Operation Manual
The helmsman should maneuver from downwind and/or down current. Using two crewmembers, one
with a boat hook and one to assist with a mooring line, should make the operation easier. The end of
the mooring line should be secured to one of the bow cleats.
As easy way to coordinate with helmsman is to have crewmember point continuously to the buoy
using arm or a boat hook -- the helmsman will then know the buoy’s location in relation to the bow as
it disappears from view. The crewmember hooks the metal ring and raises metal ring and chain. The
second crewmember if available, threads the mooring line through the ring and secures the free end
to an opposite bow cleat, forming a bridle with 10-feet slack from the buoy.
In some situations, the special MOORING HOOK with line may be more useful. It is located in the
foredeck locker. Lead the free end of the mooring line through the anchor roller to a cleat. Hold the
hook in position on the end of the boat pole with tension on the free line. Guide the hook point to the
buoy’s metal ring and set the hook. To retrieve the hook, pull back on the bend of the hook with the
boat pole.
10.4 Stern Tie
Tying the boat stern to shore is often necessary when the anchorage is crowded, when swing space
is limited, or when rotation about the anchor point is not desired.
A 400-ft lightweight propylene line can be used for the stern-tie line. It is found on a roll beneath the
cockpit port hatch. The spare anchor rode can also be used as stern-tie line.
Some anchorages offer metal rings on the shore for the stern lines. A method to deploy the stern line
for easy retrieval upon departure is to thread the free end through the ring and return the free end to
the boat. To retrieve, simply release the free end from the boat and pull the line through the ring.
10.5 Bow Thruster
The BOW THRUSTER is a Sidepower SE 120/215T, 24-volt model located beneath the forward
stateroom bunk. It may be useful for positioning the bow during docking.
Ensure the main THRUSTER BATTERY SWITCH located in the forward stateroom bunk starboard is
turned ON when boarding. Know this location to disconnect thruster in case of control malfunction.
Operate the thruster from either the pilothouse or bridge. To activate the control joystick, push both
ON buttons on the panel simultaneously and observe the indicator light. Move the joystick in the
direction of movement for the bow, port or starboard. The momentum will carry the bow. Turn OFF
when not used.
The manufacture says the maximum continued use time is approximately 3 minutes. The
electromotor has a built-in thermal cut-off switch to shut off the electromotor if overheating, and it will
re-engage only after it has cooled sufficiently. Consider this when planning the docking maneuver.
This also means the thruster cannot be counted on to hold the boat in current or side wind for
extensive periods.
Best practice is to use good docking technique before committing the bow thruster.
Be aware of objects, small watercraft, or persons near the thruster. The thruster blades will draw
objects into the tunnel.

11 DINGHY
The DINGHY is a Rendova rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with 40-horsepower Honda 4-stroke motor. It
has a capacity to carry 4 people or equipment. Dinghy and motor weigh about 750 pounds.
The DAVIT CONTROL RECEPTACLE is located on the masthead just forward of the davit. The
DAVIT CONTROLLER, a hand-held unit attached to 8-foot cord and plug, is normally stored on the
Pilothouse port helm shelf.
WARNING. After each use, disconnect the DAVIT CONTROL UNIT from the receptacle. If the
handset becomes wet, it may short-circuit the handset. The davit will operate ‘uncontrolled’, there will
be severe strain on the davit, cable, and dinghy and damage will result.
11.1 Deployment
The DAVIT BREAKER Switch is located in the salon aft battery switch panel and is normally ON.
Plug the DAVIT CONTROL UNIT into the receptacle.
Release the three deck tie downs. If the deck stanchions are in place, remove them and stow them in
the mounts behind the Bridge seat.
WARNING - Before engaging the control, ensure the davit cable is on the davit roller and will run
freely. Because the cable is lightweight (synthetic polymer material), the cable tends to ride off the
roller onto the shaft when the cable becomes slack. There will be severe strain on the cable! Keep
tension on the cable when it is free and check the roller at all times.
Carefully, nudge the hand switch to the IN position to apply tension. Slowly lift the dingy clear of the
deck. Do not raise the hook in contact the boom roller– if there is contact, there will be tremendous
strain and damage may occur.
Ensure good footing.
WARNING - Allow no person to ride the dinghy or be positioned below it.
Lift dinghy slowly and carefully to clear the rear chocks. Rotate (push) davit boom outward, and
rotate dinghy bow to point to boat stern. Ensure clearance, and then nudge the hand-switch to the
OUT position to gently lower the dinghy, guiding it down the side.
Remove the lifting harness from the 3 positions on the dinghy. For safety, clip the three hooks back
to the main ring to avoid loose gear. Move the dinghy to swim step or dock.
Raise the cable, maintaining tension on the line. Rotate the davit boom to inward position.. Use the
cable hook or lifting harness hook to secure the cable and boom.

11.2 Operation
11.2.1 Maintenance
Before operating first time, and periodically thereafter, open the engine cover and check the oil level
with motor in level position. Spare oil is located in the Cockpit portside cabinet.
Fill the 17-gallon tank with Gasoline ONLY. DO NOT add oil to fuel.
11.2.2 Use
Lower the motor by pressing ‘Down’ on the MOTOR TILT rocker switch on the throttle handle or on
the engine body. Reconnect the fuel line to the motor. Squeeze the rubber ball on the fuel line to
start fuel flow to the engine.
Ensure the throttle is in the NEUTRAL position. If the motor is cold, pull the CHOKE lever on the
motor. Move the IDLE SPEED lever upward. Turn the MOTOR IGNITION KEY to crank.
Back off the choke until the engine runs freely, and the choke is no longer needed. Use the IDLE
SPEED lever to maintain high rpm until the engine become warm and operates smoothly, then return
it to downward position – the THROTTLE can only be operated when the lever is down fully.
To move forward, grab the THROTTLE, use thumb to squeeze the handle release, and move the
THROTTLE forward slightly until the gear engages. To increase forward speed, move the throttle
forward. Return to neutral to disengage. To move backward, squeeze the handle release and move
the throttle lever backward until gear engages. To increase backward speed, move the throttle
backward.
To apply motor TRIM, press on the UP/DOWN rocker switch on the throttle. . Use motor trim within
safe limits
Safety Note. Ensure crewmembers are properly trained in operation and safety. Follow WA-State
and Canadian Law regarding certification training and age qualification. Be aware of speed, sea
conditions, and traffic.
11.3 Retrieval
To retrieve the dinghy, the procedure is reverse of deployment.
Point the dinghy bow toward the boat stern. Tilt the motor UPWARD slightly to avoid damage to the
rear of the boat deck.
Deploy the DAVIT. Move the dinghy alongside. Clip the lifting harness to the dinghy lifting eyes.
Retrieve slack on cable.
WARNING - Before engaging the control, ensure the davit cable is on the davit roller and will run
freely. Because the cable is lightweight (synthetic polymer material), the cable tends to ride off the
Page 56 of 98 Pages

Operation Manual
roller onto the shaft when the cable becomes slack. There will be severe strain on the cable! Keep
tension on the cable when it is free and check the roller at all times.
Ensure good footing -- the boat deck will tip to portside during lifting. Lift slowly and carefully bring
the hook within a foot from the boom tip.
Safety Note. Allow no person to be positioned below the dinghy.
Rotate the bow inboard, pointing it across to starboard and making the tube contact the davit boom.
Grab the bow rail and the sink rail and pull steadily and firmly (the dinghy is moving uphill), while
rotating the bow toward the forward chock. Guide the dinghy transom to the rear checks, ensuring
clearance for the motor as the dinghy is lowered to the deck. Lower until dinghy rests firmly on the
chocks and there is no tension on the cable.
Secure the dinghy with the 3 deck tie downs.
Ensure the DINGHY KEY SWITCH and each accessory switch are in their OFF position to avoid
battery discharge. If necessary to charge, a 12-volt battery charger is beneath the starboard bridge
seat.
Remove the DAVIT CONTROL unit from the plug and store in pilothouse. Do not leave unattended.

25 Appendix H – Inverter Wiring
The diagram below shows the wiring details of the inverter circuit.
When the Inverter Switch is OFF on the AC Panel, Relay 1 and Relay 2 automatically connect all
devices to Line 1 and Line 2 circuits respectively.
When Inverter Switch is turned ON, the inverted devices are connected to the Inverter circuit directly
and are isolated from the non-inverted devices on Line 1 and Line 2 circuits.
