For bowhuntr and RO519...
The KK Manatee has s single helm in the pilot house. Main salon and living areas are uncluttered with any helm station apparatus.
Single Volvo Penta TMD30A 90 hp...wheel is a 23 inch 12 inch pitch which I run at around 2100 to 2300 rpm. Temp stays 165 to 170. Occasionally open to WOT at 3200 rpm and close to 10 mph
Helm has large stainless destroyer wheel with hydraulic steering. Have combo unit - Autopilot, rudder indicator,GPS, Heading, COG ( course over ground) . Raymarine.
Have MFD ( multifunction display) chartplotter. Displays my Navionics electronic charts, GPS position readout, speed over ground, course over ground , depth readout, AIS information, triple screen sonar/fishfinder, Radar as well as various other data readouts. Raymarine.
Dedicated depthfinder with depth offsets, shallow water alarm, deep water alarm. Raymarime.
Bowthruster. Vetus.
Raymarine VHF with AIS transmit and receive, triple watch and MMSI capable.
Small back up magnetic compass.
Handheld VHF
ANDROID phone running Navionics, AquaMaps and Active Captain
Tablet with Navionics. AQUAMAPS and Google Earth open and running.
Paper charts if appropriate area
Notepads and checklists
Its a pretty modest set up but has served us well. I like the Navionics interface with the touchscreen on the MFD...bright display and clear and responsive. Have only really needed radar a handful of times but it is sharp, clear and you can clearly pick out ATONS and other vessels and shoreline features...but has a learning curve. Good as just in case tool.
Two pair of binocs...really helpful picking out marks at a distance and reading ATON numbers.
Helm has remote control pad for boat's stereo system with 6 zones and subwoofer....but it is probably the least used item on the whole boat. We have found we just prefer the quiet. But we CAN crank the tunes if the mood strikes.
Electronic panel with redundant switching down below in main salon.
Twin boat air horns with switch.
Hour meter. Only significant component I have had to replace on the Loop. Previous hour meter froze at 4300 hours....replaced two ports and about 12 running hours later
Gauges....Rpm, water temp, oil pressure and voltmeter....all original standard issue volvopenta instrumentation.
Five front windows are tinted glass. Center front opening for ventilation
Two Captains chairs and teak table. 3 sided padded settee bench seats with storage under
Full zip canvas and eisenglass pilot house enclosure to completely seal up weather tight or open as much as desired
Seven overhead LED pilot house courtesy lights
Flare and distress container
One of four onboard fire extinguishers
Think that about covers it.....
Welcome any specific questions
