3.3 Transom Deck Drains
The craft is fitted with a free draining deck via two transom deck drains. These can be
closed using the attached cord and clam cleat mounted to the transom.
3.4 Batteries & Isolators
The craft is equipped with a twin start battery system, which consists of two independent
12v DC batteries of the maintenance free type. These are situated in the engine
compartment at the aft under the helm console section. Access is by drawing engine
cover forwards and then hinging helm console backwards. The batteries are secured into
the battery tray with ratchet type straps that should be checked periodically.
The craft is fitted with a single three-way rotary isolator located under the helm seat.
Access is via the round screw-in hatch on the starboard side of the console directly below
the seat base squab. This has three positions, OFF, ON and COMBINED. ‘OFF’ isolates
all the craft electrics. ‘ON’ is craft operating on battery 1. COMBINED is craft operating
on both batteries in parallel. To charge both batteries from the engine select the
COMBINED position.
Batt 1: Port battery (start).
Batt 2: Stbd battery (systems power).
3.5 Battery Charging
The onboard AC battery charger charges both onboard batteries. This operates when the
craft is connected to a suitable 55V AC supply from the mother ship. The charger is self-
regulating.
The AC Battery Charger is located under the upper console section.
The AC power supply socket is located next to the transom on the port side of the
console. This will accept a 55V AC power supply from the mother ship.

3.7 Fuel Monitor & Sender
The craft is fitted with an eight segment graduated LED display located next to the engine
instrument panel. When only the last LED is lit approx. 20 litres of fuel remains.
The fuel sender is a vertical hollow tube containing reed switches at pre-determined
intervals. A doughnut shaped float around this tube containing a magnet activates the
reed switches as it moves up or down the tube. These are calibrated as accurately as
possible but because of the irregular shape of the fuel tank and the tolerances of the reed
switches, the indications must be used as a guide only.
Please note that when filling up the tank, the calibration will not necessarily compare with
when emptying due to the nature of the switches.
To check the sender, unscrew the unit out of the top of the tank and check the resistance
of the switches. All senders have a 470Ω resistor on the top switch and 24Ω on the other
seven.

3.8 Engine Throttle & Gear Controls
When seated in the helm position there is a dual throttle lever to the right, which controls
engine rpm and the water jet bucket. To the left is a gearbox control.
The engine rpm and water jet bucket control unit is a twin lever type with the engine rpm
lever identified by its red handle. This red handle can be pre-set at a chosen engine rpm
by utilising the red friction control at the base of the lever. The black handled lever
operates the water jet bucket. In the centre indented position the bucket is in neutral.
Push the lever up and the bucket raises, push the lever down and the bucket lowers.
The control is proportional. Please consult your Hamilton jet operating manual for further
advice as to bucket operation.
The port control unit features a single lever and operates the gearbox. In the central
indented position the gearbox is in neutral (i.e. no drive). Push the lever up to engage
forward gear. A second indented position should be felt – at this point the gear has been
engaged. Reverse gear should only be used in an emergency to back flush the jet unit.
For reverse thrust the water jet bucket should be used.
Reverse gear should only be used in an emergency to back flush the

jet unit. For reverse thrust the water jet bucket should be used.
Do not start the engine with drive to the water jet engaged. Ensure
that water jet bucket control is in neutral (central) position and
gearbox in neutral.
3.9 Steering
The steering is hydraulic. The helm pump is directly operated by the steering wheel and
drives a hydraulic ram on the water jet to turn the steering nozzle.
Consult water jet manual for further details on steering system.
High pressures can build up in hydraulic system – release bleed cap

with extreme caution.
Page 11
3.10 Bilge Pumps
The craft is equipped with 4 bilge pumps as follows:
Engine compartment: An electric bilge pump is situated at the aft of the engine / water jet
compartment. There is a sensor next to this bilge pump which switches on an LED on
the switch box if water is detected. The pump can then be switched on. When the water
has been removed the LED will go off and the pump can be switched off.
The second electric pump is located forward of the engine. This pump is also switched on
or off when the warning LED operates.
In the unlikely event that the electric bilge pumps fail in any way or power is lost, a
manual bilge pump is fitted. This is situated on the port side of the helm console.
A second manual bilge pump is fitted to the starboard side of the console and this drains
the rest of the under deck area.
The manual bilge pump handles are located on the rear of the helmsman’s seat.

3.13 Fendering
The craft features a solid buoyant fendering system. This takes the form of foam filled
sections bolted onto the craft’s bulwark. Unlike a traditional RIB with inflated tubes, these
foam filled derivatives are virtually indestructible and maintenance free. If any damage is
sustained by an individual section of fendering, the closed cell foam filling will not soak up
or hold any seawater, deteriorate or reduce in function from exposure to the weather.
3.14 Equipment Stowage
Attention should be paid to carefully stow all onboard equipment so that all safety gear is
readily accessible in an emergency situation. Equipment can be stored in the removable
seating by hinging the seat squab to one side.
3.15 Off-load Release Hook
The craft is equipped with a Henriksen HMK3.5 off-load rescue boat hook. This is bolted
to an approved lifting structure.
The hook should be checked for proper operation, damage and loose parts at each
cleaning and lubrication. Any problem related to proper hook operation must be reported
immediately to the Duty Officer and remedied at once if safe operation is to be
maintained.

The craft is equipped with an Auto/manual activated self-righting system. This consists of
2
a stowed inflation bag mounted on top of an A-frame, a CO /N gas bottle and activation
system.
Upon inversion of the craft the helmsman will fall out thus cutting the engine via the
safety lanyard. The engine will shut off automatically to avoid water ingress. On
inversion the the automatic self righting system will be activated and the inflation bag
inflated. The system can also be activated manually by pulling the (pull to operate)
labelled release handle on the transom (which will read the right way up when craft
inverted).Once inflated the craft will right itself whereupon the crew can re-enter the boat
and restart.
Please refer to section 5 for self-righting procedures.

5. Emergency Procedures
5.1 Battery Failure
In the unlikely event of a battery failing, switch the isolator to the ‘BOTH’ position to use
both batteries linked in parallel.
Ensure that any battery faults are rectified when the craft is recovered before the craft is
launched again.
5.2 Fuel Contamination
In the event of fuel contamination, ensure that the contaminated fuel is removed and the
tank cleaned at the next available opportunity.
5.3 Capsize Procedure
In the unlikely event of capsize the craft is likely to sit upside down on its buoyant fender.
The crew should assemble at the rear and stay clear of the craft while the automatic self
righting system rights the craft. To operate manually the crew should assemble at the
rear of the craft and stay together. When ready one crew member should pull the self-
righting release handle. This will be clearly labelled and will read the right way up when
the craft is inverted. When released the crew should stay clear as the boat rights. Once
righted the crew should climb back into the craft, clear the engine compartment of excess
water via the bilge pumps and re-start the engine.
Remember to reposition throttles in neutral before restarting.
5.4 Emergency Steering
If for any reason the hydraulic steering fails then the water jet can be manually steered
using the emergency steering facility. This is accessed through the large round hatch in-
between the aft two seats.

6 Routine Maintenance
6.1 Engine
All engine maintenance, whether weekly, monthly etc, is to be carried out to the
manufacturers specifications. Complete repair and maintenance can be found in the
appropriate engine manual.
6.2 Water Jet
All water jet maintenance whether weekly or monthly is to be carried out to the
manufacturer’s specifications. Complete repair and maintenance information can be
found in the appropriate manual.
6.3 General Craft
The general craft is designed and built so as to minimise services and maintenance
requirements.
6.4 Steering, Throttle box and Cable maintenance
Make periodic inspections for corrosion on metallic parts and replace any affected parts if
required. Keep all parts free from grit, dirt and salt build up. After maintenance, recheck
all fastenings after a few hours of use, and if loosened re-torque for security. For more
detailed information on maintenance of the steering assembly, consult the manufacturer’s
manuals.
Warning: High pressures can build up in hydraulic steering

systems.
6.5 Fuel Tanks, Lines & Filters
Check the fuel water separator regularly for any water contamination; the water is heavier
than fuel and will settle to the bottom of the bowl and is a distinctive lighter colour. Any
such contamination can be drained out of the separator using the fittings on the unit.
Fuel filters should be checked periodically for contamination and cleaned when
necessary. Replace all filters after 200hrs of operation.
Do not use fuel, which has been stowed onboard for more than three months.
6.6 Fendering System
Under normal conditions the buoyant foam filled fendering system is virtually
maintenance free. Periodic inspection should be made for any damage. Always clean
off oil deposits as soon as possible, using soap and water or normal household
detergent. NEVER USE SOLVENTS.
It is advisable that the craft be cleaned before storing for any length of time by washing
down with clean, fresh water.
For Fendering repairs or replacement please refer to Delta Power Group or their
approved representative.
Page 22
6.7 GRP Hull
Under normal conditions, there are no daily, weekly or monthly checks other than as
follows:
Generally inspect for damage such as cracked gel coat or small chips along sharp edges
and corners. For example: chines.
Cleaning the inside of the hull by making up a solution of bleach and water and pouring it
into the hull from the bow, rocking the craft to make sure the solution wets the whole
compartment, leave it for as long as possible (24 hrs) and then drain and rinse. This will
kill off anything that may have grown inside the hull.
Scrub the outer hull clean of any dirt or marine growth.
For hull repairs please refer to Delta Power Group or their approved representative.
6.8 Fire Safety Precautions
Always ensure that all fire extinguishers are serviced regularly to the manufacturer’s
specifications. Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain
conditions. Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks
near the craft when refuelling or changing fuel tanks. Do not use adhesives or solvents in
the presence of an open flame, sparks or hot surfaces. Observe no smoking when
repairs are carried out.
6.9 Self Righting System
Every year the self-righting bag should be opened for a visual survey.
This can be done as follows;
Firstly open the pressure relief valve with a blunt instrument making sure not to damage
the seal. This will release the vacuum and allow the bag to be unfolded. DO NOT
UNSCREW THE VALVE.
FIG 2
FIG 1
FIG 4
FIG 3
Page 23
Inspect the bag for any damage that may cause a problem. If inflated a test pressure of 2
PSI should be achieved. Any defects should be reported and Delta Power Services or
their local representative consulted.
Make sure that the inflation valve is properly closed and begin to fold the bag back up.
Firstly push each end of the bag into itself so as to reduce the width to the top of the
frame (see fig 1). Make sure that one end overlaps the other inside the bag.
Releasing ends in the middle straighten out into a square (fig 2). Pull bag as far forward
as possible and straighten at the front of the frame (fig 3). Fold material back and straps
the bungee across the bag from port to starboard (fig 4). Now remove the blunt
instrument from the pressure relief valve.
6.10 Gas Cylinder
The cylinder is stowed on the A-frame with two clamps and contains a gas mix of Carbon
Dioxide and Nitrogen to avoid freezing upon discharge. The cylinder should be checked
annually for condition and the weight checked against the gross weight marked on the
cylinder. Every 3 years the cylinder should be tested and recharged at an authorised Life
Raft test station.
