Mirage 54 Orientation
The Helm Introduction to captain and co-captain. Captain and co-captain are responsible for any radio communication for operational questions. Common sense rules – no drinking and driving and please be respectful of other boaters VHF Radio o Please Keep stereo down and VHF radio on channel 1 until you are through the channel and on Shuswap Lake. Missing instruction from Waterway dock could result in channel penalties. o Channel 1 – Waterway Base General questions o Channel 1 – Waterway Dock Docking/bridge procedures o Channel 1 – Waterway Service After consulting captain’s manual and quick reference guide, further operational questions Service is off the lake at approx 8pm (7:30pm in fall). o Channel 2 – Boat to Boat Switches o Bilge blower, bilge pump, anchor and navigation lights, horn Gauges o Oil, volts, temperature – all should remain in middle position. Never exceed 190 degrees, if happens or alarm sounds, safely shut down boat by throttling down and making sure you are below 900 RPMs and then notify WW service o Tachometer o Trim gauge – on some boats, do a visual check to ensure the drive is down before starting the boat, operating with the drive up could result in leg damage and a chargeable service call. o Fuel gauge Starting procedure o Bilge blower on for 3-5 mins. **Remember to turn off or the start battery will die** o Ensure drive is COMPLETELY down o Nobody is on or near aft deck o Ensure MMC switch is on at the breaker panel (if applicable) o Turn key to ‘on’ position o Ensure shifter is at centre position next to light o Press transfer button three times and ensure light is solid red (this activates the shifter) o Hold the transfer button for five seconds and, at the same time, push the shifter forward an inch. The red light should now be flashing. If the red light is not flashing, bring shifter back to previous position and repeat above instruction. Once the red light is flashing, the drive is in a neutral position, which means when you start the boat, the propeller will be disengaged (this is called Rev Neutral). o Press the throttle down three times to prime the engine for start, leaving the throttle at the ¾ position after the third pump. o With hand on shifter, turn the key to the start position to start the boat. Adjust throttle as necessary to keep RPM between 1200 and 1500. o Do not over crank starter, over starting could result in starter damage and a chargeable service call o Turn bilge blower off and warm engine until the temperature is between 120 and 150 degrees.
Shifting Procedure o If the red light on the shifter is blinking, you are in rev neutral. With the shifter in this position, you can change the RPM of the boat much like revving a car in neutral would. NEVER rev above 2800 RPM. o Bring the shifter back to the centre position, or “Shift Neutral.” The light will go solid red. Once the light is solid, you can press forward or backward and you will engage the propeller. o To increase speed in either forward or reverse at this point, you simply apply more throttle in the desired direction. Your optimal cruising speed is 2200-2500 RPM. Your max cruising speed is 2800RPM, never exceed 2800 RPM. o Shift slowly. Quick shifting may stall the engine o To get back to rev neutral, move the shifter back to the centre position. Then, while holding the black transfer button in, press the shifter forward. The red light will then begin to blink and you can rev the engine without the propeller engaged. Inverter o Ensure the inverter is on. o DC Volts – power available. When this falls to 11.5/12V, it is time to charge the battery bank. To charge, start the engine and run between 1200 and 1500RPM. Follow starting procedure to start. NOTE: If you are charging and using power, the power goes to used source first and batteries last. o DC Amps – power being drawn out of boat. Keep as low as possible to conserve power. o NOTE: remember you are on a boat, your power use priorities need to be monitored. Follow up a power draw with a recharging. Do not drain your batteries.
Please initial to indicate your understanding of the items outlined in “The Helm.” Captain: ______Co-Captain:______ Main Living Area Location of life jackets Fridge o For efficient cooling of fridge, remember: Do not put food that is at room temperature or warmer into a fridge in its initial cooling process. Keep food away from the rear wall of the fridge. Limit the amount of time the fridge is opened. Make sure fridge clicks closed. Do not over-pack the fridge; allow space between food for items to circulate. o Propane fridge (if applicable) On button – ensure always on Auto/gas – ensure always on gas If ‘check’ light is lit, then fridge is not getting propane or cabin battery is extremely low. Once the issue is fixed, press on/off button to off, wait ten seconds, and then turn on again to reset fridge. Stove o Light with lighter (unless electric starter). o Check the pilot under the oven (if applicable). The oven pilot must be lit manually. Show customer where to light pilot. The oven does not have a thermocouple to the pilot, which means if the propane is flowing and the pilot is not lit, propane will be flowing into the cabin area. The pilot should be checked regularly. If it goes out and propane is detected: Turn off cabin propane Open doors to ventilate Wait ten minutes or until propane cannot be sensed Turn cabin propane back on Immediately light pilot and reset fridge
o
Oven use on electric appliance The clock must be set (not flashing) Press the ‘bake’ button Within five seconds, press the up or down buttons to set the temperature. When the display temperature is reached, the oven will beep three times. o Water – comes from the lake and goes back into the lake, with the exception of the kitchen sink, which goes into the black water tank. Please be water wise. Use drinking water provided when consuming water. o CO Monitors - Your boat is equipped with CO Monitors in each room and salon. If you travel with back door open you will get fumes in the vessel. The detectors are very sensitive and may continue to beep after you have aired out the boat. They can be reset – NEVER TURN OFF OR DISCONNECT THE CO MONITORS. Pay close attention to children swimming off or playing on the back deck if the generator is running or your boat is charging. It is odourless and can be deadly. Breaker Panel Hot tub – provides power to pump and heater Hot tub fill – Do not use while boat is in motion and remember to turn off as it is not automatic (except Genesis boats – fill breaker also controls heat). Water pump – Do not operate while boat is in motion STOP to use water, turn off your water switch at the breaker panel. If you use the water while in motion it may cause an airlock which may result in a chargeable service call Generator (if applicable) – ensure generator is on ship power where applicable o Show how to start o Should be turned on when high draw items are on (hot tub, microwave, oven, dishwasher, etc). o During the evenings, turn off to avoid carbon monoxide entering the cabin o Let generator warm up for at least five minutes before using high draw items. Running under load while it is warming up can cause serious damage. Washroom Human waste and the provided single-ply toilet paper down the toilet only! If a septic system needs to be serviced because of jamming or clogging with foreign materials, a minimum $250 charge will apply. Water pump must be on to use toilet. (only turn water pump on when stopped) Pedal up for water and down to flush. Ensure pedal returns to horizontal position and water stops running and that the ball is completely closed ensuring a seal. Always leave a little bit of water in the bowl to reduce possible odors. Let foot pedal snap closed to seal Deodorizer under sink. If necessary mix ½ bucket of water (white bucket on front deck) and 1/3 bottle of deodorizer and pour into toilet. First aid kit under sink. NOTE: Kitchen sinks are plumbed into the black water holding tank. Please conserve water to avoid untimely requirement of a pump out.
Please initial to indicate your understanding of the items outlined in “Main Living Area,” “Breaker Panel,” and “Washroom.” Captain: ______Co-Captain:______
The Stern Life ring – use for emergencies only and not as a float toy Engine compartment o Check bilge every morning for water around engine. If water found above board on floor, or if unsure, contact WW service on channel 1 before starting the engine and/or generator.

Upper Deck Note: Do not jump from the top of the vessel. You could plunge through the thermal layer, which is far colder than the surface water. DO NOT RIDE OR STEP OUT ON THE TOP ROOF IN FRONT OF THE FLYING BRIDGE OR WHERE THERE IS NO RAILING. BOATS DO NOT HAVE BRAKES, FALLING OFF IN FRONT OF THE BOAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURIES. Explain satellite operation (if applicable). Set up procedure is also in the quick reference guide. Explain slide function Hot tub o Show how to fill o Show how to change temperature o Show how to turn on jets o Show how to resolve a possible air lock o Show where chlorine tablets are located. Bimini top o Take bimini down if a storm is expected, otherwise leave in place. Driving from top deck o To transfer, make sure bottom station is in shift neutral – go to top deck, press button until red light is on shifter. You now have power up top. o Do not beach, dock, or go through the bridge from top deck. Please initial to indicate your understanding of the items outlined in “Upper Deck.” Captain: ______Co-Captain:______
Beaching and Storm Rules Ensure that you check the map for appropriate places to beach. Failure to comply with the no beaching areas may result in costly repairs/towing, which will not be covered by insurance. Point to ropes at back of boat – lines stretch onto beach at a 45 degree angle Drive boat toward beach at low speed. Keep boat approximately a boat length and a half from the next boat. Do not ram onto beach. Once pontoons touch Bow beach, take revs up to 2500-2800 RPM to set your boat onto the beach. Bring boat to idle and have a crew member stay at the helm to keep the boat straight and RPM at 1500. Crew members should tie down windward side first. Driver then turns the wheel to tighten the rope and the other crew members secure the other rope. Do not tie to rocks or logs. However do try to peg your ropes behind a rock if possible. To get off the beach, rotate steering wheel from left 45 degrees to right in forward and move everyone to the back of the boat. Once the front is free, rotate steering wheel from left to right in reverse. Rule of thumb – for storm safety – From the back of your boat, you should look across the lake, NOT down the lake. During a storm - If on beach, stay on beach. If on the water, stay on the water and drive into the waves. Look Stern for a calm bay or break in the storm to beach. If ropes start to loosen in a storm, start your boat and idle into the windward side. Beaching rope at a 45˚ angle from stern Please initial to indicate your understanding of the items outlined in “Beaching and Storm Rules” Captain: ______Co-Captain:______
Front of boat Check ropes. Port: _________________ Starboard: ____________________ Check gang plank. Present: Yes / No o Slide into boat in event of a storm or at night. This will avoid losing the plank and a costly replacement charge.
