The basement area under the great room on the FPB Series is key to the entire systems approach, not to mention storage. It allows us to position gear so it is easy to inspect and maintain, while providing a huge amount of bulk space.<\/p>\n

We will start this tour in the forward port corner looking at half of the ship’s battery bank. Note that the fuel tank tops which provide the basement floor are above the waterline with batteries being a further 800m\/32″ above this.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-101\"<\/p>\n

Same location, looking to starboard at the three 2500 watt inverters.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-102\"<\/p>\n

Moving across and looking back to port at the batteries and electronics installation.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-103\"<\/p>\n

Having easy access for installation and maintenance of electronics is not always possible. The FPBs have been designed from the beginning with ease of electronics installation and maintenance in mind.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-104\"<\/p>\n

There are a lot of black boxes and wiring to be dealt with and hiding it away where it is hard to get at makes no sense.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-105\"<\/p>\n

Autopilot controllers (right), stabilizer controller (center), Nav Net 3D, AIS, sonar, and SSB black boxes all reside here.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-106\"<\/p>\n

Looking to starboard from center, batteries to the left. The hatch is to the sealed coffer dam in which the stabilizer mechanism resides.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-107\"<\/p>\n

The light load 115V inverter opposite the heavy load bank of three.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-108\"<\/p>\n

High load DC fusing, remote control solenoids, and connection point (left) for bridge electrical panel.\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-109\"<\/p>\n

A closer look over the coffer dam lid at the wiring (batteries are to your left).<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-110\"<\/p>\n

Turning around now and looking back across the boat to port. The sonar black boxes are directly opposite.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-111\"<\/p>\n

Same area, now looking at the center basement divider bulkhead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-112\"<\/p>\n

We are in the aft port corner now, under the galley. Heater manifold is at bottom right with the fuel manifold above. Trash compactor is opposite.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-113\"<\/p>\n

You are looking up here, behind the galley furniture (you can stand here). The air conditioners are mounted just below the deck with access to their inlet screens and gauge ports for maintenance.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-114\"<\/p>\n

The basement freezer, trash compactor, and fuel manifold are accessed from hatches in the galley sole.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-115\"<\/p>\n

Looking outboard into the port aft corner. The through hull is the galley discharge, above the waterline of course.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-116\"<\/p>\n

Port side air conditioner circulation pumps.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-117\"<\/p>\n

The view across the boat to starboard.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-118\"<\/p>\n

Starboard aft corner with the shore power isolation transformer in the right hand (aft) corner.<\/p>\n

\"FPB-64-1-Basemen-systems-119\"<\/p>\n

Fresh water system with one of two pumps shown. Valves on the right are for the basement bilge pump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
