Six Tips to keep Harmony in top shape for other
guests.
1.
Shore Shoes: Cleaned or
Removed
Shore shoes can pick up lots of ‘stuff’ that increases
the wear and tear on the interior of Harmony. Help
us keep her looking great by cleaning the bottom of
your shoes before stepping into the salon or removing
them whenever inside. A brush is hanging from the
spigot in the starboard aft corner of the cockpit.
2.
Damp Lifejackets Need Fresh Air
If a lifejacket or flag is even slightly damp, please hang it
where fresh air circulates until it’s completely dry. Snap
straps on flybridge canvas make a good hanging device. The
slightest moisture in an enclosed place creates mildew within 24
hours.
3.
Wash Down the Anchor Chain
Use the fresh water hose on the bow spigot to thoroughly wash salt
water, mud, and marine debris from the anchor chain BEFORE it
goes into the chain locker.
Failing to do so can result in foul odors in the chain locker!
4.
Please Keep Salon Door Closed when
engines are running
Diesel engines produce a soot whenever they run and that can build up a film in the cabin if the
salon door is open whenever the engines are running.
5.
The engines benefit from an occasional run at high speed
Harmony is equipped with two very reliable Volvo Penta diesel engines. The engines can build
up diesel soot in the turbo chargers and exhaust ports when cruising for many hours at low
speed economy cruise. We’ve found it helpful to run the engines up to 2000 RPM for ten
minutes every few days of cruising to help keep the buildup to a minimum. Remember to use
the trim tabs at this speed.
6.
Cycle the fresh water flush system of the Watermaker weekly
The HRO Watermaker on Harmony will yield the best results when used periodically. Sitting
dormant for long periods promotes biological growth in the filters and membrane of the system.
As a minimum, please activate the fresh water flush cycle (follow the procedure noted later in
this manual) of the system weekly (takes less than five minutes) or advise San Juan Yachting
staff that it needs to be done when you return from your charter week.
The Owners and other Guests thank you ☺
