POWER TRAINThe power generated by the engine is trans-mitted to the propeller via the transmission,shaft coupling and the propeller shaftassembly. The propeller shaft is supportedand aligned with the engine by a through-hull shaft log, and an outside strut.

EnginesYour boat is powered by twin inboardengines. All operation, specification andmaintenance information is contained in theengine owner’s manual. Find this manual,which is located in the Skipper’s Kit, andfamiliarize yourself with it. The engine is theheart of your boat and following the manu-facturer’s recommendations will provide youwith continued boating pleasure.

COOLING SYSTEM

CAUTION

The cooling system starts at thecooling water seacock, which canbe shut off for a number of rea-sons. Make sure the seacocks areopen before starting engines. Theabsence of cooling water willcause the engines to overheat andcause irreparable damage.

!

Each engine is cooled by seawater enteringthe boat through a seacock in the hull bot-tom. The water enters the engine throughthe engine water jacket and is returned tothe sea through the exhaust system.

A feature which is standard on dieselengines is the freshwater cooling system.This system uses the incoming seawater tocool a secondary closed-cooling system.The seawater flows through an enginemounted heat exchanger, cools the closedsystem coolant, and is returned to the seavia the exhaust system.

ALARM SYSTEMSAlarm systems are on all boats. The alarmwill sound under the following conditions:

● Engine temperature exceeds specifiedlimits.

● Engine oil pressure drops below specifiedlimits.

● Transmission oil temperature exceedsspecified limits.

● Ignition switches are “ON,” engines are“OFF.”

To test the alarm system, turn the ignitionswitch to the “ON” position. Depending uponthe engine, the alarm may sound immedi-ately, or after a few seconds delay.

TransmissionThrough a series of gears, the transmissiontransmits the motive force of the engine tothe propeller. The transmission has one for-ward and one reverse speed, and is shiftedby the transmission selector on the dash. Allthe operation, specification and mainte-nance information is contained in the engineowner’s manual.

Shaft AssemblyThis assembly makes it possible for theshaft to penetrate the hull bottom withoutallowing water to enter around the joint. Theshaft coupling is the connecting pointbetween the engine and the shaft assembly.

SHAFT LOGThe shaft log is laminated to the hull.Rubber hose is clamped to the shaft log andto the shaft seal. The flexibility of the rubberhose allows it to absorb minor engine shock,such as moving from forward to reverse,while maintaining a watertight seal on theshaft log and the shaft seal.

SHAFT LOG

HOSEHULL

STRONG SEAL

CSR173-16




SHAFT SEAL

CAUTION

The packing, the rubber tubingand the gland nut adjustmentshould be inspected monthly forwear, leakage and deterioration.Excessive water entry, especially ifunattended, could result in thesubmergence of the engine com-partment, or of the entire boat.Rampage Yachts will not warrantdamage incurred due to animproperly adjusted or neglectedpacking nut. Refer to Section 6 forpacking nut adjustments.

!

Strut and Cutlass Bearing

CSR161-7A

CUTLASS BEARING

STRUT

CAUTIONThe cutlass bearing is water lubri-cated. Running the propeller out ofthe water could result in bearingfailure and damage to the shaft.

The propeller shaft is supported on the out-side of the hull by a strut. The strut isequipped with a water lubricated plasticbearing that permits free rotation of the pro-peller shaft.

PropellersThe propellers installed on your boat wereselected because their diameter and pitchprovide the optimum speed and perfor-mance under average conditions of load.Propeller selection must be based upon theability of the engine to turn the propeller andachieve the manufacturer’s recommendedRPM at full throttle.

NOTE

Variations from average loadings,bottom condition and/or engine con-dition could call for a propellerchange to achieve the performancedesired.

SELECTING A PROPELLER

CAUTIONImproper propeller selection andinstallation could result in loss ofthe propeller, and/or excessivestresses on the power train lead-ing to power train failure.Rampage Yachts recommends thatyou consult with and employ theskills of your dealer when contem-plating a change.

First, ensure that the diameter and pitchprovides the performance desired. Theengine RPM at full throttle should be in the upper half of the recommended full throttle operating range. If RPMs are low, a propeller with a smaller pitch will increaseRPMs. If RPMs are high, a propeller with anincreased pitch will lower RPMs.

Second, ensure that the propeller rotation isconsistent with engine and gear box rota-tion.Your boat is designed with counterrotat-ing inboards for minimum torque effects.

Third, ensure that the installation providesadequate safety features such as a straightkey, a propeller nut, a jam nut and a cotterpin. Refer to Section 8 for installation instruc-tions.

FUEL SYSTEM (Crossover Valve)Your boat is equipped with an internal fuelsystem meeting current federal requirements.The best materials and components availableare used to assemble the fuel system.

Model 45 Sportfishing yachts have two alu-minum fuel tanks. A 260 gallon fuel tank islocated forward of the engine compartmentand the 400 gallon fuel tank is located aft ofthe engine compartment, under the cockpitsole. The tank outlets to the engines have ananti-siphon valve for fuel shut-off in the eventof a line break. To access the shut-off valvesor tank fittings open the fuel access hatches.

The fuel fill caps are located on the port walk-around of the boat. The forward fuel fill cap isfor the forward tank and the aft fuel fill cap isfor the aft tank. Near the fill cap is a ventwhich allows air to move in and out of thetank as the fuel level changes.

Shut-off valves are attached to each fuel tankoutlet line. The aft tank shut-off valve is locat-ed under the cockpit floor. The forward tankshut-off valve is located under the steps thatlead into the lower hallway.

The fuel cross-over valves are located in theforward end of the engine room. The manualvalves can control the fuel supply to theengines in five ways:

1. Both handles pointing inboard shuts theflow of fuel OFF.

2. When both handles point outboard eachengine can receive fuel from its respec-tive tank; the port engine receives fuelfrom the aft fuel tank and the starboardengine receives fuel from the forwardtank.

3. When both handles point up, bothengines receive fuel from both tanks.

4. With the port handle pointing inboardand the starboard handle pointing up,both engines receive fuel from the forward tank.

5. With the port handle pointing up and thestarboard handle pointing inboard, bothengines receive fuel from the aft tank.

WARNING

Leaking fuel and fumes are a fireand explosion hazard. Inspect theentire fuel system regularly.

All fuel system components must bechecked before each boating season andregularly during the season for any leaks orbad hose conditions. Make sure the fuel system is leak free.

STEERING SYSTEMYour boat is equipped with hydraulic steer-ing. The rotation of the steering wheelresults in an unbalanced hydraulic (oil) pres-sure in the two lines going from the helm tothe rudder cylinder. The pressure differentialis converted to linear motion by the hydraulicsteering cylinder which is mechanicallylinked to the rudder tiller arms. Both ruddertiller arms are rigidly connected together bya tie bar so that both rudders respondequally to the helm.

Steering WheelThe steering wheel uses the assistance ofpower steering to permit turning of the steering wheel with a minimum of effort. It is important that you know how your boatoperates and are aware of its limitations.Follow the operating techniques in Section 5.

CAUTIONThe carrier seal should be inspect-ed regularly for excessive waterentry. If left unattended, excessivewater entry could result in thesubmergence of the engine com-partment, or of the entire boat.

TRIM TABSThe trim tab system is an electro-hydraulicsystem. Two rocker switches, marked portand starboard, control a hydraulic pump andsolenoids. The pump sends hydraulic oil tohydraulic actuators (cylinders) which lowerthe trim tabs. To raise the trim tabs, the rock-er switch is moved which allows oil to flowfrom the actuator to the pump.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMYour boat is equipped with two electricalsystems; a battery powered direct current(DC) system, and a generator or shore pow-ered alternating current (AC) system. Eachsystem has a master panel.

The DC system supplies electricity to all ofthe boat’s electrical circuits (lights, pumps,blowers, ignition, etc.).

The alternating current (AC) system in yourRampage Yacht supplies power to the portand starboard electrical outlets, and to 120VAC systems (air conditioner, range, waterheater, microwave, refrigerator, icemaker,

battery charger, etc.). The AC power nor-mally is supplied from dockside connectionswhen moored to a dock or optionally agenerator when underway or at anchorage.

Your yacht is equipped with one or two 50ampere 240VAC dockside outlets. Eachdockside receptacle is capable of providingyour yacht with 3,600 Watts of power or atotal of 7,200 Watts of power if you have twodocksides. Similarly, the generator installedin your yacht has a wattage rating from4,000 to 13,500 Watts depending on theyacht size and the option selected, if appro-priate. Most Marinas are limited to the 7,200Watts discussed above while in contrast,houses typically have a 200 ampere 240VAC service or 48,000 Watts available.Clearly, you must manage AC power on yourYacht.To manage the AC electrical loads on youryacht you will need to know the availablepower and the wattage of your normal loads.

ground is being achieved. There is a bonding strip located in the engine compart-ment. This bonding strip is extended througha #6 green wire from the bonding strip to a terminal behind the instrument panel. Thiswill facilitate electronics installation. In addi-tion, the handrails are attached to the bond-ing system.

The auxiliary batteries are separated fromthe cranking batteries by an electronic solidstate isolator. When the engines and ignitionswitches are “OFF,” the isolator preventsaccessory loads from depleting the crankingbatteries. When the batteries are beingcharged by the alternators, the isolator auto-matically combines, isolates and will distrib-ute the charge among the batteries accord-ing to individual need.

DC MASTER PANEL

The DC master panel consists of a volt-meter, a battery test switch, a series ofswitch type and resettable circuit breakersand the main battery switch.

The meter is a convenience feature whichallows you to check on the condition of thethree batteries. With master breaker switchin “OFF” position, turn battery test switch to:

● “1” to check the starboard engine crank-ing battery (24 volt),

● “2” to check the port engine cranking bat-tery (24 volt),

● “3” to check the auxiliary battery (12 voltand 24 volt), and

● “OFF” to disable meter and test circuit.

CAUTIONNever reset a breaker which hasbeen automatically tripped withoutfirst discovering and remedyingthe cause of the problem.

The switch type circuit breakers’ function istwofold: they allow you to manually enableor interrupt a circuit by moving the switch onor off, and they protect the system receivingthe DC current (power) by automaticallyopening the circuit should a short or over-load condition occur.

The resettable circuit breakers protect thesystem receiving the DC power by automati-cally opening the circuit should a short oroverload occur.

OPERATION OF DC SYSTEMSRead through the table on the followingpage to familiarize yourself with the DC systems on your boat.

DC Electrical System

WARNINGConsiderable care has been takento design a safe electrical systemto protect you from hazardousshocks. Any modifications to thesystem should always be done byan authorized Rampage Yachtsdealer not only to protect yourwarranty, but to protect you fromhazardous shock.

Your boat has a 24 volt DC house system.The positive wire is hot, and feeds currentfrom the batteries to the various 24 volt sys-tems, and the negative wire is the ground.

Your boat is equipped with seven batteries.Four batteries (cranking batteries) are usedonly to start the engines. Two batteries areauxiliary batteries which provide power to allof the other electrical circuits. The seventhbattery is used for the generator only.

When the engines are running, all batteries(except the generator battery) are chargedby the two engine alternators and the rate ofcharge is controlled by voltage regulators.

The system is grounded by grounding thecranking batteries to the engines, and the auxiliary battery to the house ground. Theengines are connected by ground cable to provide added assurance that a good

DC Circuit Breaker Function

Put breaker in the “ON” position to send power to the DC circuit breakers described below, except the AUTOBILGE PUMP breakers and CO Monitor breaker.

Place breaker switch in the “ON” position to send current to the freshwater pump. The pump maintains pressure inthe freshwater system. Move the switch to the “OFF” position to interrupt current flow to the pump.

There are two HEAD circuit breakers to control power to the electrical toilets and macerators (optional), and for the waste tank indicators. Move breaker switches to the “ON” position to send power to the toilets, macerators and waste tank indicators. Place breaker switches to the “OFF” position to remove power from these devices. The toilets will not flush when their respective circuit breakers are turned “OFF.” See Head System and Waste Disposalin Section 5 for more information.

There is one SUMP PUMP circuit breaker to control power to the sump pump. Place the breaker switch in the“OFF” position to turn the sump pumps off. WARNING: The sump pump breaker should be left on whenever oper-ating. In addition to air conditioner condensation, the showers and sinks drain into the sump pump.

These circuit breakers are installed to handle an additional DC system that you may want to add to the existingsystems.

Generator/Blower Breaker: Turn generator breaker to the “ON” position at the DC panel to operate Blowers andGenerator.

Blower Switch: Flip the switch up to operate the bilge blowers. Before attempting to start the generator, the bilgearea must be purged of all fumes. Operate the blowers for at least 4 minutes.

Start Switch: Push the switch up until you hear that the generator has started, and then release the switch.

Stop Switch: Push the switch down to stop the generator.

As a safety feature, the CO monitor breakers are wired to bypass the main breakers so that they will functionwhen the main breaker is off. If a CO monitor breaker trips (pops out), push to reset immediately. See CO monitormanual for more information.

NOTE

You must balance the loads on both Docksides 1 & 2 not to exceed 12,000 Watts.Because of the number of accessories available on your yacht, along with the use ofcoffee makers, blender, toaster, hair dryers, etc., you may need to turn off someaccessories to avoid tripping the main breaker on your AC panel.

TIPS● Energize one appliance at a time.● Don’t use hot water heater with other major appliances.● Only warm one Range burner at a time on High.● Don’t use accessories such as hair dryers (1,500 Watts) with other major appliances.

The following chart is provided to aid you on managing your AC electrical loads.

CAUTIONNever reset a breaker which hasbeen automatically tripped, with-out first discovering and remedy-ing the cause of the problem.

The circuit breakers’ function is twofold; theyallow you to manually enable or interrupt acircuit by flipping the switch on or off, andthey also protect the system receiving theAC load by automatically breaking the circuitin cases of shorts or overloads.

IMPORTANT

Read the generator owner’s manualcontained in the Skipper’s Kit beforeoperating the generator for the firsttime. The manual contains importantoperation and maintenance informa-tion.

!WARNINGConsiderable care has been takento design a safe electrical systemto protect you from hazardousshocks. Any modifications to thesystem should always be done byan authorized Rampage Yachtsdealer not only to protect yourwarranty, but to protect you fromhazardous shock.

Your AC systems are rated for 125 volts at60 cycles. Source current can be providedfrom a 240 volt, 60 cycle shore power sta-tion, or from the onboard generator. The ACsystem in your boat is much like the systemin your home. The hot wire (usually black)sends current to the AC system. The neutralwire (always white) sends current back tothe source and the ground wire (alwaysgreen) grounds all systems to a commonground. In your boat the common ground isthe copper bonding strip located in theengine compartment.

!AC MASTER PANELThe AC master panel consists of one volt-meter, one ammeter, a power transfer slideprotector and generator controls.

The meters are an important featurebecause they allow you to monitor the cur-rent reaching the control center. Damage tocomponents can occur if voltage enteringyour system is less then 105 volts. Do notuse any of your AC systems if you get areading of 105 volts or less. Some of yourAC systems require 50 amp service to oper-ate, if the amperage being provided is lessthan 50, your circuit breaker will “trip” whenyou try to turn any of the systems on.

You must monitor each Load Center sepa-rately. Place GENER. MAIN 1 or SHOREMAIN 1 circuit breaker to the “ON” positionto monitor voltage and current applied toLoad Center 1. Monitor Load Center 2 volt-age and current by placing GENER. MAIN 2or SHORE MAIN 2 circuit breaker in the“ON” position.Downloaded from Cruisers Owners Forum



The generator is started from its own batteryor the battery parallel switch. Once the gen-erator is started it can supply AC power toLoad Centers 1 and 2, depending on thepower transfer slide protector position.

To start the generator, turn the generatorbreaker to the “ON” position at the DCPanel, hold generator switch in the STARTposition until you hear that the generator hasstarted, then release switch. The switch willautomatically return to the RUN position andAC power is applied to the Load Center.

Turn generator off by placing the generatorswitch in the STOP position.

The power transfer slide protector preventsaccidental use of shore power and generatorpower at the same time. Slide protector posi-tioning is discussed under Operation of ACSystems.

Connecting Shore power cable:1. Make sure the breaker for load group

being connected is in the “OFF” position.

2. Connect shore power cable at the boatreceptacle and then at the shore recep-tacle.

3. When disconnecting shore power cableturn the breaker for load group beingdisconnected to the “OFF” position.

4. Disconnect shore power cable from theshore receptacle, and then from the boatreceptacle.

CAUTIONDo not turn the breaker for shorepower on if the reverse polarityindicator lights up. Disconnect thecable and have the fault correctedby a qualified electrician.

Galvanic IsolatorsThe Galvanic Isolator(s) installed in CruisersYachts comply with the ABYC A-28 standard. Section A-28.13 requires statusmonitoring of the galvanic isolator. The conditions monitored are:

A-28.13.1.1 shorted or open condition of anydiode;A-28.13.1.2 failure to block galvanic current at 1.1 volts DC;A-28.13.1.3 circuit continuity of the shore grounding circuit;A-28.13.1.4 operation of the status monitor-ing device.

Yachts with single docksides have one galvanic isolator.Yachts with dual docksideshave two galvanic isolators. The galvanicisolators have status indicating LEDs (lightemitting diodes) which indicate the conditionsrequired in A-28.13.

Further, ABYC A-28.13.2 requires the status-indicating device for the galvanic isolator shallbe mounted in a location readily apparent tothe vessel operator. Because the galvanic

!isolators are not located where these diodesare readily apparent, a status indicating panelhas been installed in the AC/DC panel areato duplicate the indications of the LEDs onthe galvanic isolator(s), L1 and L2 for dualdocksides. Each galvanic isolator docksidecircuit has a red and a green status indicatingdiode. The following LED FUNCTIONCHART describes the monitoring functions.

GREEN When the dockside power is connected and the green LED ison continuously, the galvanic isolator is functioning normallyand the dockside connection iscorrect. When the docksidepower is disconnected, it will take a minute or more for thered LED to start blinking.

RED If the red LED is on continuous-ly, it indicates a faulty conditioninternal to the galvanic isolator.The galvanic isolator must bereplaced.

RED If the red LED is blinking on and off, either:1. The dockside power is

disconnected, or;2. There is a large amount of

current in the grounding system. Refer this issue to aqualified electrician.

GFCI (GROUND The GFCI protects against hazardous electrical shock that may be caused if one’s body becomes a path through FAULT CIRCUIT which electricity travels to reach ground. This could happen when one touches an appliance or cord that is ‘live’INTERRUPTER) through faulty, damp or worn insulation, etc. For example a person could be touching plumbing or other material

that leads to ground.

When protected by GFCI a shock may still be felt, but the GFCI should cut if off quickly enough so a person in normal health should not have serious electrical injury (infants and very small children may still be affected).

WARNINGThe GFCI WILL NOT protect against:● Line-to-Line shocks like the kind received by touching metal inserted in the hot and neutral terminals

of an outlet.● Current overloads or line-to-line short circuits; the fuse or circuit breaker at the distribution panel

MUST provide such protection.

CAUTIONIf the GFCI trips of its own accord, this indicates a possible ground fault condition which is potentiallyhazardous. Investigate the ground fault condition at once by making a thorough check to determinewhere the ground fault exists in the equipment plugged into your GFCI. Correct the defect at once. Carryout the test procedure as outlined to ensure that your GFCI is operating properly. If the GFCI does notreset, this indicates a ground fault still exists and must be corrected.

A Word About ElectrolysisElectrolysis is the decomposition of com-pounds, such as metals, exposed to an elec-tric current. For boat owners, electrolysis is acommon occurrence. Using a shore powerAC electrical system on the boat includes anearth ground circuit that “grounds” allonboard metal parts to the earth on shore.This circuit provides the protection againsthazardous shocks, but unfortunately it alsocreates an electrolytic current which causesthe decomposition of all submerged metal.

SOLUTIONS TO ELECTROLYSISIMPORTANT

It is your responsibility to periodicallyinspect and replace the sacrificialzinc anodes. Damage resulting fromelectrolytic corrosion is not coveredby the warranty. Additional zincanodes may need to be installed onyour boat as recommended for yourregion.

Sacrificial zinc anodes, installed by the deal-er and at the factory, protect the hardwarethat is exposed to the water. Electrolysisattacks the softest or least “noble” metalsfirst. Because zinc is a less “noble” metal itwill decompose before the more “noble” met-als. There are zinc anodes attached to thetrim tabs.Your dealer will install additionalzinc anodes to areas such as the rudders.Propeller shaft brushes are installed at thefactory. These brushes are bonded to thecopper bonding strip in the engine compart-ment. Zinc anodes on the propeller shaft arenot necessary because of the propellerbonding brushes.

A zinc anode is also used to protect metalthat is exposed to seawater. The salt in sea-water causes a galvanic action whichdecomposes metals.

A Ground Circuit Isolator is installed to pre-vent the flow of relatively low electrolytic cur-rents. It will, however, provide a path for cat-astrophic, short-circuit currents which aresufficient to actuate circuit breakers.

A Word About BondingInboard engines installed in non-metallichulls do not provide shielding or adequategrounding. Rampage Yachts uses a copperbonding strip in the engine compartment tosolve this problem. All metal parts of yourboat, the radar arch, the rudder shaft, thebowrails, etc. are bonded to this commonground. The terminal strip located behind thedash panel is linked to the landing strip via asingle #6 green wire. The AC and DCground wires also meet at the bonding strip.

Bonding helps minimize electrolysis, it pro-vides a common ground for radio interfer-ence signals, and it minimizes radio frequen-cy interference (RFI) from the boat by con-necting the metal parts to form a shield.

FRESHWATER SYSTEMFreshwater TankThe boat is fitted with a 100 gallon fresh-water tank. It is filled through the fill platelocated on the starboard midship. The tankis vented through the hull, which allows airto enter/escape as water levels rise and fall.

IMPORTANTFill the tank only with potable water.Using and refilling the tank often willhelp keep it a source of clean drink-ing water.

FILTER AND PUMPWater is drawn from the tank by a self-prim-ing pump located under the port bunk, aftstateroom. Before entering the pump, thewater passes through a filter to capture anycontaminants. The pump provides a flow ofwater at a preset pressure to the remainderof the system.

INITIAL STARTUP1. Fill the freshwater tank with approximately

50 gallons of potable water.

2. Turn the FRESHWATER PUMP breaker on.

3. Open the cold water galley faucet toallow air to escape. Close the faucetwhen a steady flow of water is apparent.

4. Open the hot water galley faucet to fillthe water heater and allow air to escapefrom the line. Close the faucet when asteady flow of water is apparent.

5. Bleed air from the remainder of thefaucets in the same manner as steps 3and 4. After all lines have been bled, thepump will build to operating pressureand then shut off.

6. You may now continue to fill the tank toits capacity of 100 gallons.

City Water Hookup

CAUTIONMonitor the water system duringinitial usage of the “city water”feature. In this mode, the boat isconnected to an unlimited sourceof water. NEVER leave boat unat-tended while using the “city water” feature. Any major leak orbreak in the system will allowabnormal bilge accumulationwhich in turn could cause sinkingor swamping of batteries andengine. Damage from swampingand/or submergence are not cov-ered by warranty.

As an alternative to your freshwater tank,the freshwater system can be connected to“city water” at the receptacle on the star-board mid cockpit. Because the water entersthe boat under pressure, it bypasses thetank, the filter and the pump.

!

NOTEUsing “city water” hookup does notreplenish water supply in the tank.The tank can only be filled at thefreshwater fill plate.

When using a dockside hookup, you willhave to bleed all the lines as you did in initialstart-up for the freshwater tank system.

Hot Water HeaterThe hot water tank is equipped with a highpressure relief valve for safety, and a ther-mostat that regulates the heater to a specificwater temperature. The thermostat isadjustable to suit individual taste. The elec-tric hot water heater is operated by turningon the WATER HEATER breaker switchlocated on the AC panel. The electric hotwater heater provides fast recovery, and iscapable of reheating a tank quite rapidly.

CAUTIONDo not turn the hot water switch onunless the freshwater system ischarged. Damage to the heating ele-ment will result if allowed to heat upwith no water in the system.

The hot water tank also operates via a heatexchanger. Heated cooling water from theengines is delivered to a heat exchangerwhich in turn heats the water in the hotwater tank. After the cooling water circulatesthrough the exchanger, it is returned to theengine exhaust system which dumps it over-board.

HEAD AND WASTE CONTAMINANT SYSTEMYour 45' Sportfish Yacht is equipped with ahead and waste system that uses an electri-cal pump with a 60 gallon holding tank.

The head on your boat has the VacuFlushoperated system which draws water inthrough the fresh water system and flusheswaste water from the marine toilet. The toiletpumps the waste water into a holding tank.

Waste Holding TankThe waste holding tank is located under thelower mid cabin floor, below the hallway floorhatch. Waste is pumped from the headthrough a sanitary waste hose to the topportion of the tank. A 1-1/2" sanitary wastehose is attached to the bottom of the tank,and runs to the dockside pumpout plate onthe starboard walkaround. An overboardvent keeps the tank at atmospheric pressureregardless of waste levels.

All the components which comprise thewaste system are made of materials special-ly formulated to prevent odor permeationand to resist chemical actions. It is stronglyrecommended that you regularly add chemi-cal to your tank by flushing it through thehead. The chemical helps to control odorand break down the waste. Follow the man-ufacturer’s instructions on the chemicalbefore using.

CAUTIONDo not flush into a full holdingtank. Attempting to flush the headwhen the tank is full could resultin damage to the waste system.

A waste tank indicator is also installed toprovide a visual indication of the amount ofwaste in the tank. The indicator is located atthe forward and aft upper vanities withineach head.

!

Waste DisposalDOCKSIDE PUMPOUT

This system directs all waste to the 60 gal-lon holding tank. To clear the tank of wastewater, you will need to use the docksidepumpout services provided at marinas, etc.

To clear the tank of waste, hook a suctionhose to the pumpout plate on the starboardmidship of the boat, and to the docksidepump. The marina will handle the proper dis-posal of the waste.

CSR161-13




OVERBOARD DISCHARGEA “Y” valve is installed, in this version,between the marine toilet and the wasteholding tank. The “Y” valve can direct theflow of waste to the holding tank, or direct toan outlet seacock for overboard discharge ofwaste.

IMPORTANT

Overboard discharge of wasteshould only be used in approvedareas. It is your responsibility tocomply with local regulations regard-ing the discharge of waste.

CSR161-13

To operate overboard discharge, the “Y”valve lever must be in the overboard posi-tion, and the waste water outlet seacockmust be open. Close the outlet water sea-cock when not in use.

MACERATOR PUMP

A “Y” valve is installed between the pumpoutplate and the macerator discharge seacock.The macerator pump is located between the“Y” valve and the macerator discharge sea-cock. In this configuration all waste isflushed from the head to the holding tank.The “Y” valve permits you to use the dock-side pumpout feature, or to use the macera-tor to pump the waste from the holding tankoverboard.

CSR161-15




®®

IMPORTANT

Overboard discharge of wasteshould only be used in approvedareas. It is your responsibility tocomply with local regulations regard-ing the discharge of waste.

To pump out the holding tank using the mac-erator pump:

1. Open the 1" seacock labeled MACERA-TOR DISCHARGE, which is locatedunder the aft stateroom starboard bunk.

2. Move the “Y” valve lever to the over-board position. The “Y” valve is locatedbelow the aft stateroom starboard bunk.

CAUTIONDo not run the pump dry. Runningthe pump when there is no wasteto pump out of the holding tankwill shorten the life of the pump.

3. Activate the macerator pump. Close thecircuit marked MACERATOR from theDC panel. A full tank can be emptied inapproximately three minutes.

4. Close the macerator discharge seacockafter the pumpout is complete.

BILGE SYSTEMIMPORTANT

The discharge of oil or oily wasteinto or upon the navigable waters ofthe United States or of the contigu-ous zones is strictly prohibited bythe Federal Water Pollution ControlAct. If such a discharge occurs andcauses a film or sheen upon, or dis-coloration of the surface of thewater, or causes an emulsion orsludge beneath the surface of thewater, the violators are subject to apenalty of $5,000. Notify the CoastGuard immediately or call toll-free 1-800-424-8802 to report any suchincident.

The deep part of the hull, where incidentalwater drains, is called the bilge. Water willenter the boat for a number of reasons, butentry will be particularly heavy during peri-ods of long rains, heavy storms and highseas. The water that enters is pumped over-board by the bilge pumps. The bilge is vent-ed through the hull, and bilge blowers areused to speed up the evacuation of fumesfrom the engine compartment.

PumpsTwo pumps, located in the engine compart-ment under the generator, are used toremove the bilge water. There is a bilgepump located forward of the engine roomunder the lower level entry stairs. The aftbilge pump is located under the cockpit solein the transom of the boat.

CAUTIONDo not rely upon electric equip-ment to operate trouble-free.Frequent inspection of the bilge tomake sure the pumps are operat-ing properly is a necessity.

The pumps can be operated manually, or leftin an automatic mode.You can manuallyoperate each pump by turning the appropri-ate switch “ON” at the dash panel.

CAUTIONDo not allow pump to run after allthe water has been cleared fromthe bilge area. Damage to thepump will occur if the pump isallowed to operate with no water.

The AUTO BILGE PUMP breakers are con-stantly “ON”. They are located on the engineroom breaker panel. This feature allows bilgepumps operation when the master batteryswitch is turned “OFF”. When water in thebilge reaches a certain level, a triggeringdevice turns the pump on. When the waterdrains, the pump will automatically shut off.

Power is supplied to AUTO BILGE PUMPSas long as auxiliary battery is connected toauxiliary system and has a charge. TheMANUAL BILGE PUMP switches will bypassthe auto feature, allowing the option of con-trolling the pumps manually. Returning theMANUAL BILGE PUMP switches to “OFF”position will return bilge pumps to automaticoperation.

!Blowers

WARNINGFuel vapors can explode! Beforestarting engines, check enginecompartment for the presence offuel vapors. Operate the blowersfor at least four minutes beforestarting the engines. Turn theblowers on when idling or operat-ing below cruising speed.

The 45' Sportfishing Yachts are equippedwith 24 volt DC powered bilge blowers whichprovide ventilation for the engine compart-ment. The blowers are controlled from aswitch on the dash panels (or the AC/DCpanel).

Notify the Coast Guard immediatelyor call toll-free 1-800-424-8802 to report anysuch incident.

Safety Precautions for EngineExhaust

WARNINGDo NOT inhale exhaust fumes!Exhaust contains carbon monox-ide. Carbon monoxide is colorless,odorless and potentially lethal.

The carbon monoxide present in exhaustfumes can be extremely hazardous. Direct,prolonged exposure will cause brain dam-age or death. Incoherence, drowsiness, lossof consciousness, headaches, nausea andvomiting are some symptoms of exposure tocarbon monoxide.

If you think exhaust fumes are entering yourboat, correct the problem immediately.Observe the following safety precautions:

● Be alert for the odor of exhaust fumes.

● A natural vacuum created while underwayin certain wind and sea conditions mayallow exhaust to be drawn into the cabin.Adjust the direction of the boat whileunderway as necessary to alleviate thepresence of exhaust fumes.

● Do not allow the boat to remain stationarywith the engine running for any extendedperiod.

!

● Use care when operating engines or gen-erator in confined areas. Exhaust fumescan enter the boat even with all windows,doors and hatches closed.

● Never operate the generator or leave theengine running if the exhaust port isobstructed.

● NEVER run the engines or generatorwhile everyone onboard is sleeping. If aperson is sleeping, be sure adequatefresh air ventilation is provided.

● If your boat is equipped with a forwardhatch or windshield side vents, OPENTHEM while underway.

● If you choose to be underway with canvasup, you must vent the forward area toclear the cockpit of fumes.

● Inspect the engine exhaust system fre-quently for tightness of clamps andhoses. If you notice a change in enginesound, check all exhaust connections.





DANGER EXTREME HAZARD

Carbon monoxide gas (CO) iscolorless, odorless and extreme-ly dangerous. All engines andfuel burning appliances produceCO as exhaust. Direct and pro-longed exposure to CO willcause BRAIN DAMAGE orDEATH. Signs of exposure to COinclude nausea, dizziness anddrowsiness. Sources of COinclude the examples to theright:

To reduce CO accumulation, ventilate theboat interior by opening the windowsand/or canvas to provide adequate ventila-tion. Deck hatches can be opened at slowspeed or while dead in the water, but mustbe closed at or above planing speeds toprevent damage and possible personalinjury.

!!❶ Blockage of boat exhausts by obstruction.

❷ Exhausts traveling along obstruction.

❸ Operating at slow speed or while dead in thewater.

● Open windows, doors and engine hatch.Check for fuel fumes and water in thebilge area.

● Place master battery switch on the DCpanel in the “ON” position.

● Operate the bilge blowers for at least fourminutes before starting the engine. Allowthe blowers to run until cruising speed isattained.

● Check engine and transmission oil levels.If equipped, check fresh water coolantlevel.

● Check diesel fuel valves to make surefuel can flow to engines.

● Open seacock(s) for engine coolingwater, head flush water, air conditioningwater, etc., as equipped.

● Check all intake water strainers.

● Check steering control, throttle and shiftcontrol linkage. Look for hydraulic leaks.Make sure all connecting hardware istight.

● Check battery charge.

● Check fuel supply.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT rely on the accuracy ofgauges. Readings are only approxi-mate and should always be com-pared to the hours of use multipliedby the known fuel consumption(GPH).

● Check all electrical components such asthe horn, lights, and bilge pump to besure they are in proper working order.

● Make sure shift control lever is in theNEUTRAL position.


Starting Diesel EnginesAfter pre-start checks and procedures havebeen followed, the engines can be started.Follow the step-by-step instructions below,and be sure to read the engine owner’smanual for manufacturer’s recommenda-tions.

WARNINGAlways start engines with shiftcontrol levers in neutral.Your boatis equipped with neutral safetyswitches which will not allowengines to be started unless shiftcontrol levers are in neutral posi-tion.

1. With ignition key switches off, put bothshift control levers in neutral position.

2. Push toggle switch of engine to STARTposition. Release button immediatelyafter engine starts. The button is springloaded and will return to the RUN position.

!



CAUTIONFailure to release ignition buttonafter engine starts may damagethe starter motor and drive.

Do not operate starter continuous-ly for more than 30 seconds. Allowstarter to cool at least 2 minutesbetween starting attempts.

3. Operate the engine at approximately1400 RPM and check the oil pressuregauge. If oil pressure does not rise tospecified range in 15 seconds, STOPENGINE IMMEDIATELY and determinethe cause.

4. Repeat starting procedure for the sec-ond engine.

IMPORTANT

The second engine may be difficultto hear when it starts due to thenoise of the first engine. Observethe tachometer of the secondengine. When the RPMs “jump up,”release the key switch immediately.

5. Allow engines to warm up. Check watertemperature gauges to be sure watertemperature remains within the specified

!range. If temperature gauge readsabnormally high, STOP ENGINE IMME-DIATELY and determine the cause.

6. Check engine exhausts to see that theyare discharging water. Water circulationin the engines should take place shortlyafter starting.

7. Inspect for any fuel, oil, water andexhaust leaks.

Stopping Diesel Engines1. Move throttle control levers to neutral

position.

2. Move throttle control levers forward untilengine RPM is no more than 1400 RPM.Operate engines for 5 minutes at thisspeed to cool engines.

3. After cooling engines, move throttle con-trol levers back to neutral position.

4. Push fuel/engine shutdown buttons untilengine rotation stops.

5. Turn key switches counterclockwise toOFF position.

FuelingRefer to your engine owner’s manual for thefuel type recommended for your particularengine.Your dealer may have fuel sug-gestions relative to climate conditions andthe use of your boat.

WARNINGAll precautions must be takenevery time you fuel your boat.Diesel fuel is non-explosive, but itwill burn!

Use the following precautions before fuelingto avoid fire and explosion:

● Make sure your boat is securely mooredto the dock.

● Stop engines, fans, galley fire and anyother device that can produce a spark orflame.

● Close all windows, doors and hatches tokeep fumes from entering the boat.

● Disembark all people not needed for fuel-ing the boat.

● Prohibit all smoking in the area.

● Locate the nearest fire extinguisher foruse if needed.

!


®



While fueling, keep the fill nozzle in contactwith fill opening of the tank to protect againstany static sparks or spilling fuel.

Do not fill the tank until fuel flows from thevents. Allow room in the tank for fuel expan-sion.

When tank is full, close fuel opening andclean up any spilled fuel. Wash the areasaround the fuel caps and vents. Dispose ofrags properly on shore.

IMPORTANT

Spilled fuel may yellow the fiber-glass gel coat and damage accenttapes.

Open all windows, doors and hatches.Operate the bilge blowers for at least fourminutes. Fuel fumes are heavier than air andwill sink to the lowest part of the boat.

Before starting the engines, check for anyfumes or leaks in the bilge. Ventilate theboat until the fumes are no longer present.Repair any leaks immediately.

Suggested ManeuveringTechniquesGENERAL GUIDELINES FOR MANEUVERING● Practice Makes Perfect! Start in calm

water with no wind and lots of room untilyou get the feel for the boat and its con-trols.

● Forget the Steering Wheel! The ruddersare basically useless at slow speeds. Putyour hands on the control levers andleave the steering wheel alone.

● Recognize the Outside Forces! Check thewind direction and velocity, as well as thewater currents. Use the external forces toyour advantage when maneuvering; don’tfight them.

● Proceed Slowly! Give yourself time tothink, react and maneuver.

● Have the Crew Standing By! Hands readywith fenders, boat hook and lines canassist greatly as you approach a dock.

GRADUAL TURNS AT LOW SPEED

WARNINGHigh speed, full range turns arenot recommended. The quickresponse of the hydraulic steeringsystem and the high speed, maycause people and objects to bethrown around inside or evenover-board. Exercise prudence inthe way your boat is handled!

A gradual turn while moving at low speed,forward or reverse directions, is best accom-plished by varying propeller speed. Straightline movement is maintained with the coun-terrotating propellers turning at the samespeed. Increasing the speed of one propand maintaining or reducing the speed ofthe other prop will turn the boat towards theslower prop.

WARNINGRudders have little or no steeringcontrol at low speeds or whenmoving in reverse. This apparent“loss” of steering can cause con-fusion, even panic, among noviceskippers. Practice maneuveringBEFORE you attempt any complexmoves. Know your boat!

!

!




Remember when turning astern (in reverse),the bow will make a much wider arc than thestern. Be on the alert to avoid possible colli-sions in crowded areas.

HOLDING POSITION

CAUTIONDo not shift transmission atengine speeds above 1000 RPM.Damage to engines or power traincould result. Momentarily pause inneutral and allow engine to returnto idle speed before engagingtransmission.

Using throttle and shift control levers to com-pensate for wind and water currents allowsyou to maintain a relatively still position inthe water. Keep the bow pointed into thewind or current, if possible, by using thegradual turning procedure above. Slow andequal speeds on both props will allow you tomaintain position with minor throttle adjust-ments for any correction. Compensate forslight wind and water current by individuallyadjusting throttle levers and moving shiftlevers between forward and neutral.

SHARP AND CLOSE QUARTERSTURNSA sharp turn can be achieved by putting oneshift lever in forward position and the otherin reverse position. The rate of the turn canbe controlled by the rudder as well asengine speed. Turning the steering wheel inthe direction of the turn will increase the rateof turn.

Close quarters or “on-a-dime” turns can beused to change direction in small areas.

From the hold position procedure, move theshift levers: one to reverse, the other to for-ward. To advance your position and quickenthe turn, increase the speed on the forwardprop. To move back from your position andquicken the turn, increase the speed on thereverse prop.

PROPELLER “BURSTS” AND STOPPINGPropeller burst is a maneuvering techniquerequiring fairly moderate speed (800-1000RPM) and using shift controls only. Moveshift lever of port or starboard engine to for-ward or reverse for short intervals to maneu-ver the boat into the desired position.

Stopping the boat’s forward movement(checking headway) using propeller burstswill reduce the distance required to stop.

With engine speeds equal, move both shiftlevers to reverse to slow or stop forwardmovement.

TRIMMING THE BOATWhen the boat is accelerated forward, itstrim angle increases causing the bow to ridehigh and the stern low. Continued accelera-tion will bring the trim angle to a maximumangle (“hump”); then the boat will level out toits planing attitude.

It is important to get “over the hump” assoon as possible due to the reduced visibili-

ty, handling and performance. A few sec-onds at full throttle should get the boat overthe hump and into a planing attitude. Onceyou are “over the hump” and at a comfort-able plane, move the throttle control back to2/3 to 3/4 throttle, a more fuel efficient cruis-ing speed.

WARNINGDo not overtrim. The boat mayveer or the bow may dig in caus-ing you to lose control.

!

CSR159-18



When accelerating to cruising speed, lowertrim tabs to assist the boat up at the sternand into a planing attitude quickly. As waterpasses under the hull, it contacts the trimtabs forcing the stern up. Change the angleof the trim tabs to change the rate of lift;lower tabs result in faster lift.

Until you become familiar with trimming yourboat, move the rocker switches in half-sec-ond intervals. The boat will not react immedi-ately; it will take a few seconds.

Trim tabs can also be used to controluneven weight situations while underway.For a heavy stern, lower trim tabs equallyuntil a comfortable plane is achieved. If theport or starboard is heavy, lower the trim tabon the heavy side to a point where the boatlevels out.

Dropping and Weighing AnchorManeuver the boat over the spot where theanchor is to be lowered, keeping in mind thewind, current and scope (length of theanchor line). A good gauge for the amountof scope is a length 6 to 7 times the depth ofthe water anchored in. For example, you arein 10 feet of water, so use approximately 60to 70 feet scope.

Have a crew member on the bow carefullylower the anchor. When the anchor is on thebottom, keep slight tension on the line.Maneuver the boat backwards slowly untilthe proper scope has been fed out. Fastenthe line around the bow cleat. Anchor flukesshould dig in and hold.

Watch for anchor drag by observing shore-line landmarks at the time the anchor isdropped and one-half hour later. If the refer-ence marks have moved, the anchor is drag-ging and must be reset.

The end of the anchor line should beattached to a mooring cleat. When the line iscoiled, it should be done neatly and eachcoil put around or on top of the previous coilso the line can be fed out smoothly whenanchoring.

To weigh (pull in) anchor, it is recommendedto have the engines running. Pull in thescope until the line is vertical. Pull hard to liftthe anchor’s shank and free the flukes fromthe bottom material.

TABS EXTENDED,WATER PASSES UNDERHULL, HITS TABS AND

FORCES STERN UP ANDBOW DOWN.

CSR162-6A

®



If the anchor is stuck, attach the vertical,taut line to the bow cleat. Wave action on thebow may lift flukes from the bottom. If theanchor is still stuck, feed out a few feet ofline and attach it to bow cleat. Maneuver theboat around the anchor, keeping the linetight. Find an angle that will pull the anchorloose.

If your boat is equipped with a windlass, usethe same procedures as above but refer tothe manufacturer’s instructions on the opera-tion of the windlass. Always remember torelieve the load on the windlass whenanchored: use a bridle attached to a cleat orattach the line directly to a cleat.

Towing the Boat

CAUTIONDo not use deck hardware forgrounding and towing! The stressmay be too much for cleats andmounting plates. Cleats aredesigned for mooring use only.

If you are aground, need a tow, or wish totow another craft, use great care. The boatstructure can be damaged by excessivepulling strain.

!

Use a double-braided nylon rope. Some syn-thetic fiber ropes stretch too much. Make abridle for each craft (towing and towed) byputting a rope completely around the hull.

WARNINGAlways stay clear of any tight orstretched lines.

If you run aground, depending on the situa-tion, there are a few things you can do.

● Wait for the rising tide to lift you off.

● Shift weight and passengers to heel ofthe boat. Reverse the props to back-off.

● Use another boat to carry the anchor todeeper water. Operate the windlass topull the boat free.

● If all efforts fail, get help from the CoastGuard.

IMPORTANT

You should always offer help to acraft in distress. However, towing acapsized boat, grounded boat orhull-damaged boat is dangerous.Give assistance to the occupants,then call the proper authorities.

Additional Pre-Launch ChecklistOUT OF THE WATER:

❏ Inspect and lubricate seacocks. Hosesand hose clamps should be inspectedand replaced as necessary.

❏ Replace deteriorated zincs.

❏ Inspect prop(s) for dings, pitting and dis-tortion. Make sure cotter pins aresecure. Grip the prop and try moving theshaft – if it’s loose, the cutlass bearingmay need to be replaced.

❏ Check to make sure the rudder stockhasn’t been bent.

❏ Make sure your engine intake sea strain-er is free of corrosion and properlysecured.

❏ Check power steering and power trim oillevels.

❏ Inspect outer jacket of control cables.Cracks or swelling indicate corrosion andcould mean that the cable should bereplaced.

❏ Inspect bottom paint for deterioration, prepand paint any bare areas. If you are using“ablative” bottom paint, make sure to lightlyscuff bottom 24 hours before launching toreactivate the paint.

ENGINES AND FUEL SYSTEMS:

❏ Inspect fuel lines, including fill and venthoses, for softness, brittleness or cracking.Check all joints for leaks and make sure alllines are well supported with non-com-bustible clips or straps with smooth edges.

❏ Inspect fuel tanks, fuel pumps and filtersfor leaks. Clamps should be snug and freeof heavy rust. Clean fuel filters.

❏ Inspect cooling hoses and fittings for stiff-ness, rots, leaks and/or cracking. Makesure they fit snugly and are double-clamped on all hoses below water line.

❏ Every two years remove and inspectexhaust manifolds for corrosion.Undetected exhaust manifold failures cancause serious engine damage.

❏ Clean and tighten electrical connections,especially both ends of battery cables.Wire-brush battery terminals and fill cellswith distilled water.

STORAGE FOR EXTENDED LAY-UP Lifting and Storing Your Boat

CAUTIONNever lift a boat with a large amountof water in the bilge! Undue stresswill be put on the hull.

Slings must never contact or exert aforce on shafts, struts or hardwareprotruding from the hull.This type ofstress can damage fiberglass, bendor misalign parts, which is not cov-ered under the warranty.

Use two web slings and 18 foot spreaderbars to lift the boat. Slings must have a mini-mum width of six inches and a capacity rat-ing high enough to support the boat.Spreader bars reduce the side pressure atthe boat’s sheer line and prevent distortionor damage to the deck or gunwale molding.

Put slings around the hull at positionsmarked “SLING”. The sling decal is locatedjust under the gunwale molding. Make surethe sling contacts the bottom of the hull forthe entire length with no twists in the sling.

When lifting the boat, keep the bow slightlyhigher than the stern to keep water fromrunning into engine manifold. Water cancause corrosion or damage to the engine.

!

CAUTIONWhen your boat is out of the water,it is important to support the hullcorrectly to avoid any hull damage.

The shipping/storage-cradle will provide theproper support at the recommended posi-tions. The load at the cradle support areas isless than 10 pounds per square inch. Makesure the cradle is level and completely sup-ported on the ground to eliminate any cradleor hull distortion. Contact your RampageYachts dealer to order a cradle.

!


If a factory-supplied cradle is not available,extreme care should be used to support thehull as shown above. Do not support boat byresting hull on keel; the load will be morethan 10 pounds per square inch! Verticalsupports must extend from chine to keel tochine with no gaps between the hull andcradle supports. Protect all items extendingfrom the hull from resting on the support orground. DO NOT apply any load stress toprops, shafts, rudders, struts, etc.

TransportingThe boat must be supported on a trailer withthe same care and concern as on theground. Cover the boat to prevent additionalload being added from rain or snow. Contactyour dealer for assistance in transportingyour craft.

Transporting Checklist● Check all federal, state and local regula-

tions and requirements to transport yourboat. Arrange for any permits and escortsas required.

● Disconnect and remove batteries to pre-vent accidental sparks and spilled elec-trolyte.

● Empty fuel tanks to prevent fuel fumes,spilling and possible fire.

● Empty freshwater system to reduce trans-portation weight.

● Remove all items from cabinets, pocketsand drawers to eliminate damage.

● Secure all drawers, cushions, doors, etc.to prevent any cabin damage from itemsmoving around during transport.


3. Inspect the hull and underwater gear forsigns of deterioration, wear or damage.Note any damages to engine, cabinequipment, helm area, etc. that hasoccurred during the past boating sea-son. Try to have any repairs made beforecovering the craft.

4. Fuel System:

IMPORTANT

Do not fill the tanks so fuel flowsfrom the vents. Allow room in thetanks for expansion.

a. Fuel tanks should be filled with treat-ed fuel to prevent condensation. Usethe following products per instruc-tions on container.Diesel- use a biocide, such as “BIOBOR” and conditioner, such as“RAYCOR RX 100.”

b. Run engines for ten minutes to makesure treated fuel is present in alllines and parts of the engines.

5. Engines:

a. Flush engines with clean fresh water.

b. Refer to the engine owner’s manualfor procedures to store and winterizethe engines.

● Secure hatches, windows, doors andcanvas to prevent damage from wind andaccidental opening.

● Cover and tie the boat down securely toavoid any shifting, tipping or sliding duringtransport.

Winterization

CAUTIONIf improperly stored, the boatcould take on water which canaccumulate and cause damage toonboard systems.

If your boat is to be stored on shore, a thor-ough winterizing procedure will extend thelife of your boat and its equipment. Utilizethe following suggestions to make boat prepfor the next boating season a little easier.

1. Clean the hull and deck as soon as theboat is pulled from the water. This willmake cleaning easier because the marinegrowth will still be wet. (See the Care andCleaning section in this manual.)

2. Store the boat with the bow up so anyaccumulation of moisture will run off.

b. Scrub the inside of the boat. Clean thecabinets, drawers, and cupboards. Tryto allow one day for drying and airingout the cabin area as weather permits.

c. If mattresses and cushions are leftonboard, stand or prop them up toallow good air circulation aroundthem. Hang life preservers and otherequipment to avoid mold and mildew.

18. Exterior Preparations:

a. The bottom will require at least onecoat of anti-fouling paint before begin-ning a new season. This can be donewhen winterizing or at the start of thenew season. Consult your RampageYachts dealer for paint specificationsfor your area.

b. Apply a coat of wax to the entire sur-face of the boat. Put rust inhibitor onall deck hardware and other metalparts. Consult your Rampage Yachtsdealer for product recommendations.



NOTEIf possible, do not seal cabin orcockpit tightly. Dry, fresh air will ven-tilate these areas preventing moldand mildew.

19. Cover your boat with a tarpaulin ormooring cover. If the boat is stored out-side, additional supports under the tarpor cover may be necessary to preventpockets that will collect snow or rain.This can add extra load to the hull andcradle and also stress the cover, possi-bly tearing it.

Fitting Out After StorageA thorough check of your boat after anextended storage period for any type ofdamage is necessary. Look for items suchas cracks or breaks due to freezing, fiber-glass stress cracks in hull or deck, fuel orwater leaks in seals or seams. The followingsteps will assist you in getting your boatback into the water.

1. If anti-fouling paint and wax was notapplied before your boat was stored,apply them now.

2. Inspect all through-hull fittings, shaftsand rudder seals for tightness and possi-ble leakage. Do not overtighten.

3. Inspect the entire fuel system for leaks ordeterioration. Replace parts as necessary.

4. Open and close all seacocks to checkoperation. Install all drain plugs in strain-ers and seacocks.

5. Check all hoses and fittings for cracking,splitting or deterioration. Replace defec-tive parts immediately.

6. Batteries:

a. Make sure battery or batteries arefully charged and the electrolyte levelis approximately 1/2 inch above theinternal plates.

b. Clean battery posts and cables. Usea solution of baking soda and waterto clean battery cases.

c. Install batteries and connect batterycables. Apply a small amount ofgrease or petroleum jelly to cover theposts and cable clamps.

d. Turn master battery switch to the“ON” position.

7. Install drain plugs in bottom of all muf-flers. Inspect exhaust system fromengine to hull outlet. Make sure hoses,mufflers, fittings and clamps are waterand exhaust tight.

BilgeCLEAN THE BILGE AREAPump bilge area dry and remove all loosedirt. Make sure all drain passageways andbilge pump strainers are clear.

After time, the bilge will collect dirt and oil.DO NOT use flammable solvents to cleanthe bilge. Frequent cleaning with a commer-cial bilge cleaner will loosen oil and dirt andmake cleaning easy. Consult your RampageYachts dealer for instructions and use.

HullGELCOAT CAREA complete washdown of all exterior gelcoated surfaces with a mild detergent andclean water after each outing is recommend-ed. DO NOT use detergents that containammonia or chlorine. Alcohol or kerosenemay be used for stubborn stains. Light sand-ing and buffing will remove most stains andshallow scratches.

In areas where your boat is stored for wintermonths, a pre-launch waxing for the seasonshould suffice. In southern areas, wax theexterior surfaces at least semi-annually. Aspecially formulated fiberglass wax is recom-mended to prevent any color fade and soiladhesion. If waxing alone does not bringback the shiny appearance, hand buffingwith DuPont #7 Rubbing Compound orpower buffing with Mirror Glaze #1 may benecessary.

GELCOAT REPAIRScratches or blemishes in the gelcoat maydetract from the appearance of your boat,but they do not affect the strength or integri-ty of the fiberglass hull or the componentwhich the gelcoat covers.

A gelcoat repair kit (available from yourauthorized dealer) permits the user to repairminor scratches and nicks in the gelcoat.

Minor scratches can be removed by wetsanding. Start with 320 grit first, sandinglightly until the scratch starts to disappear.Use 400 grit until the scratch is gone. Finishsanding with 600 grit and buff the area withrubbing compound. Rub hard at first andthen lighten up to polish the area.

FIBERGLASS REPAIR“Fiberglass” refers to fiberglass reinforcedplastic construction of the hull, deck, andcabin fabrications beneath the thin gelcoatskin. Fiberglass repairs require the use ofspecial tools and following precise repairinstructions.Your Rampage Yachts dealer isskilled in handling these repairs and alsohas available fiberglass repair kits for boatowners to make their own repairs, if capable.


Freshwater SystemCLEAN THE WATER TANKFill the freshwater tank using a plastic hose.Rubber hoses can add an objectionabletaste to the water.

To clean your new freshwater system, or thesystem after a long period of storage, usethe following procedure:

1. Make a solution of 2-1/2 cups (20 oz.) ofhousehold bleach and 10 gallons ofwater.

2. Pour the solution into the empty tankand fill the tank with freshwater.

3. Start the freshwater pump and bleed allthe air from the freshwater system. Startwith the faucet farthest from the pump.

4. Allow the treated water to stand for 3 to4 hours.

5. Drain the tank and lines. Flush the entiresystem with clean freshwater. Fill thetank with freshwater.

6. If an excessive chlorine taste is still pre-sent, make a solution of 1 quart of vine-gar and 5 gallons of water. Add the solu-tion to the system and let it remain in thesystem for several days.

7. Drain the system and flush with cleanfreshwater. Fill the tank and bleed the airfrom all the lines.



If you decide to make repairs yourself, toolsand materials you will need are:

Fiberglass Repair KitAcetoneResinHardenerFiberglass400 and 600 Grit Wet Sand Paper

Polishers/BufferAutomotive-Type Rubbing CompoundPutty Knife

An excellent resource booklet for instruc-tions on small fiberglass repairs is “HOW TOREPAIR FIBERGLASS BOATS,” publishedby Ferro Corporation, Nashville, Tennessee,37211.

ANTI-FOULING BOTTOM PAINTBefore selecting a bottom paint, talk withother boaters and your dealer to determinewhich product works best in your area. Manyvariables affect the bottom paint such aswater temperature, pollution, salinity, cur-rents, suspended dirt and organic matter,and sunlight.

Fiberglass hulls should never be sanded,cleaned, painted and launched in the sameday. Moisture in the old paint must beallowed to escape completely to get goodadhesion between the new and old paint.

Also, allow sufficient drying time beforelaunching your boat; follow paint manufac-turer’s suggestions.

General Care and CleaningDECK FITTINGS AND HARDWAREStainless steel has been used whereverpossible on your boat. It is not totally resis-tant to corrosion. Regular cleaning and pol-ishing with a chrome or stainless steel polishwill maintain and extend its life. A daily rins-ing with clear water to remove any saltresidue is suggested. A light wipe-down withWD-40 or LPS sprayed on a soft rag aftereach washdown will enhance its appear-ance.

Inspect all screws, clamps and fittings.Tighten any loose hardware when neces-sary.

EXTERIOR AND SEAT VINYLRegular washing with mild soap and warmwater or vinyl upholstery cleaner is sufficientto keep the cushions and vinyl coverings ingood condition. Keep the cushions frombecoming water soaked to prevent anymildew accumulation. Wipe the cushions dryand lightly spray them with Lysol to help pre-vent mildew.


INTERIOR WALL COVERINGS ANDOVERHEADVinyl interior wall coverings may be sponge-cleaned with quality vinyl cleaners or with a50/50 solution of mild detergent and water.Blot dry with a clean cloth after cleaning.

The interior overhead may be cleaned withupholstery cleaner.

WINDOWS● Plexiglass and Vinyl Windows.

First, flush the plexiglass and vinyl withclean water. Use your bare hand withplenty of water to loosen any dirt. A cleansoft rag may then be used with a mildnon-abrasive soap or detergent. Dry care-fully with a soft damp cloth or chamois.

● Sliding Windows.

Avoid cleaners containing sodium or cal-cium hypochlorite or cleaners that give offa chlorine odor. These types of cleanerscan damage the nylon pile window chan-nel runners.
