<strong>Gemini</strong> 105Mc Owner’s <strong>Manual</strong><br />
• Cabin Lights<br />
• VHF Radio<br />
• Deck Lights<br />
• Gas Valve (for Propane Monitor)<br />
• Stereo / Television<br />
• Spare<br />
Both 12-volt outlets located next to the panel and<br />
above the refrigerator run from the cabin lights circuit<br />
breaker.<br />
There is a 25-amp fuse (with spare) located under the<br />
battery switch protecting the switch panel. This fuse<br />
handles all 12 volt appliances.<br />
Shore Power<br />
The <strong>Gemini</strong> shore power inlet is rated for 30 amps (24<br />
amps continuously) and is run with 10 gauge wire.<br />
The switches on the 110v panel are all circuit breakers.<br />
The top two are linked together as the main breaker.<br />
In the “ON” position, a green light indicates proper<br />
operation while a red light indicates a bad connection<br />
or possibly a badly wired marina.<br />
Under the main breaker are circuit breakers for the<br />
port outlets, starboard outlets, refrigerator, water<br />
heater, and spare (usually used for air conditioning).<br />
The 110v panel has a slide to prevent using the refrigerator,<br />
water heater, and air conditioner all at the<br />
same time. Two of the three can be operated at the<br />
same time, however, all three would require an excess<br />
of 24 amps.<br />
The optional microwave operates on the starboard<br />
outlet breaker.<br />
Water<br />
The <strong>Gemini</strong> has two translucent 30-gal tanks under<br />
the port and starboard aft bunks. The tanks are filled<br />
individually from the water intakes on either side of<br />
the mainsheet track.<br />
Only one tank is used at a time and is selected using a<br />
'Y' valve to select water draw from either the port or<br />
starboard tank. Turning the valve (which is mounted<br />
on the wall in the port aft cabin) clockwise selects<br />
the starboard tank. Turning it counter-clockwise selects<br />
the port tank.<br />
There is an electric 12-volt pump for pressure water<br />
to each sink, the shower, and the hot water heater.<br />
There is a dedicated pressure water switch on the 12<br />
volt panel.<br />
There is a foot pump in the galley to manually pump<br />
water from the selected tank if the pressure water<br />
pump is not on.<br />
Important: Be sure to have the cold-water faucet<br />
open in the galley when using the foot pump. Failure<br />
to do so can result in breakage.<br />
Propane<br />
In the starboard aft cockpit locker there are two, 20<br />
lb. vertical propane tanks with overfill protection.<br />
Only one tank can be connected to the propane system<br />
at a time. The propane comes from the tank via a<br />
regulator and rubber hose to a junction box. From<br />
the rubber hose the propane can either go through<br />
the solenoid or through the by-pass.<br />
From the back of the junction box are 2 copper hoses<br />
going to each appliance.<br />
The propane monitor is switched on at the 12 volt<br />
switch panel. The solenoid opens and closes with an<br />
audible “click.” The solenoid requires one (1) amp<br />
per hour to remain in the open position. With such a<br />
relatively high power requirement, there is a by-pass<br />
valve intended for use while sailing. To use the bypass,<br />
move the connection lever so that it is inline<br />
with the bypass copper pipe and turn off the solenoid<br />
on the propane panel.<br />
Caution: If the boat is unattended and connected to<br />
shore power, it is highly advisable to turn the solenoid<br />
on along with a battery charger to avoid depleting the<br />
batteries.<br />
Stove<br />
The <strong>Gemini</strong> comes standard with a two burner, broiler<br />
and oven unit.<br />
To operate burners on top of unit, as well as in broiler<br />
and oven, push knobs in to override flame failure<br />
safety cut off device. Turn to 'on' position, and apply<br />
a flame. Hold knob in for a few seconds then set knob<br />
to desired setting.<br />
The oven has a thermostat. Turning the knob on the<br />
front of the unit sets thermostat up to 480º.<br />
Refrigerator<br />
<strong>Gemini</strong> Quick Start Guide<br />
The refrigerator operates on 110v (shore power) or<br />
propane. Before lighting the refrigerator on propane<br />
or turning on with 110v, make sure the refrigerator<br />
vent (located under the wheel in the cockpit) is removed<br />
and the 12V refrigerator fan is on. The switch<br />
for the fan is inside the shelf unit at the side of the<br />
refrigerator. Be sure to turn on the “Refrigerator”<br />
switch on the 12v panel.<br />
The refrigerator operates automatically when con-<br />
