Eclipse Operating Manual
This manual has been provided to you, the customer, to help you operate all of the components on your vessel safely and effectively. Your rental vessel is a Twin Anchors Marine “Cruise Craft.” It is 56’ in length (including the swim step) and 23’ high, with a width of nearly 14 ½ feet. It is powered by a Volvo 3.0 stern drive engine. The draft is 22” to 24”.
An 8.5 kw gas generator is on board for your comfort and convenience. A review of the following information may eliminate delay and unnecessary service calls. If you have any questions as you are operating the boat, please check this manual, and if you still have a question, please contact the marina. It is our desire to ensure that you have an enjoyable experience on New Melones Lake.
PREPARATION BEFORE STARTING
Turn on engine compartment blower for 3-5 minutes before starting engine. Turn off stereo and other equipment so you can hear everyone clearly. Check to be sure that the engine leg (the outdrive) and propeller are lowered into the water.
Place a lookout person at the rear end of the boat for visual assistance. Make sure the area is clear of swimmers. Swimmers should NEVER be in the water when the engine is running. Start the houseboat engine (see below). Walk around the entire boat and be sure that all ropes are untied and placed on the boat. Dragging ropes are easily wrapped around the prop; this step will prevent this.
