STEERING CONTROL SYSTEM
could cause the boat to attempt to roll over, particularly in a turn, due to the angle of IPS drives
under the hull. Caution is advised.
AUTOPILOT p70r
The Navigtion Electronics breaker on the DC panel must be ON for the autopilot to
function. Check the autopilot display and note the rudder angle indicator which
helps in maneuvering the boat.
When the compass heading is displayed on the
autopilot it is operational and can be activated by
pushing AUTO. The boat will then maintain the
displayed heading. Turn the knob for incremental
course changes.
The Autopilot has been calibrated specifically for
40z operation. If you notice “hunting” rather than
steady course keeping, see the Raymarine Manual
to check Configuration parameters applied to your
device or Contact Erik Rochelle at Boston

4.7 44.7 WINDSHIELD OPERATION
While the triple windshield design creates individual
windows that are smaller than those on the 34z,
some owners have found that a stick with a rubber can tip is a handy way to push
the windows out and assist in lowering them, without having to stretch over the console.
We have investigated various electric options but have been unable to find any system that
wasn’t ungainly, unsightly, tight, or unable to fully raise the windows for the open “flybridge”
effect for good ventilation or perfect visibility at night or in fog. To travel at 14-15 knots
without being blasted by the wind. Simply move slightly toward the centerline of the boat
rather than directly behind the wheel to get out of the wind flow.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS The 40z is fitted with three windshield wipers. To activate the
function, turn ON the breaker labeled “Wipers” on the DC Panel and also be sure that the “Fresh
Water Pump” breaker is ON for the washer function to operate.
To operate all 3 wipers at once, momentarily push the rocker switch slightly forward to the first
detente. To operate just the starboard wiper, push the rocker switch, all the way forward.
To change the wiper speed: While either all 3 or just the starboard wiper is operating, quick push
the rocker switch all the way forward. Each quick push changes the speed.
To operate the wash function for either all 3 wipers or just the starboard washer, PUSH and
HOLD the rocker switch all the way forward until water jets appear.
