This guide provides the boat specific detail on equipment type and location, plus some operating
tips that will enhance your enjoyment of the boat. There is a paper copy on board.

It assumes familiarity with Pure Latitude ‘Must Know’ Procedures which cover how to prepare,
operate and leave Pure Latitude boats - see Member Information Hub. The relevant Base Guide
complements this guide and gives information on boat location, marina facilities, local area boating
considerations and other general local guidance.

This icon identifies areas of particular importance.

Operating manuals for the various pieces of equipment (radio/plotter/heater/etc) are on board and
also readily available online. Model numbers are given in this manual to aid locating the detail
online.

Please notify us should you find any inconsistency in the documentation or if you have any
suggested improvements.

4. Power and Instrumentation Systems
4.1 Shore Power - 240 Volt Systems

 Connect the boat end before the shore end to
 avoid an open live cable. Disconnect in reverse
 i.e. disconnect the shore first.

 Tie off the power cable at both the dock and the
 boat, ensuring that it doesn’t trail in the water.

 Ensure there is sufficient slack in the power cable
 that it will not come under tension when the boat
 moves with the wind and current.

 Socket and cable plugs in the bow seating area.

 Ensure cap is closed when not in use / at sea.

 Main breaker is in the central locker of the
 foredeck seating area

 See section on Skin Fittings for location of
 valves.

    Always empty the holding tank before leaving the boat and leave the seacock closed.

5.5 Boat Heater
    The diesel heater needs careful operation to avoid it locking you out. The heater runs from a
diesel tank. Diesel levels will be maintained by Pure Latitude.

There is a 3-minute delay before the heater appears to respond while the heater goes through its
start-up and cool down procedure. Do not be put off if nothing happens immediately and do not
switch on and off to encourage it.

When you no longer need the heater turn it off and allow to cool down for a minimum of 5 minutes
before turning the battery off (some heaters are hard wired and others via the battery isolators).

Adjust vents using louvres where possible to get the heat to the areas you want it. Do not place
items in front the heater vents.

Be aware of the heater external exhaust point and ensure that nothing (fenders) obstructs it.
