Hi and welcome. Best of luck on your boat. I don't know even since we have the same boats the systems could be a bit different so all I can share is what I see on mine and hope it helps a little bit..
1. Generator - Its a Westerbeke 4.5/5KW not sure of the size sure of the maker. Turn on the bilge blower switch, hold in the preheat button for a few seconds to pressurize the fuel system. With the preheat held in press the start button. Listen for her to start. Once she does continue to hold in the preheat button for a few more seconds, let it go and she should stay running. Load her up via the 120V panel.
2. Overnight with shore power I usually leave the battery switches on and the AC converter on to supply the 12V systems (lights etc) and to keep the batteries on a trickle charge. The rest I run off the 120V ac.
3. Vacuflush - 1. turn on the fresh water. You should have a breaker marked Head System, that is the vacuflush, turn that on too. You may see the amp meter on the 12 V battery ammeter moving as the pump primes up. It should draw a vacuum and flush from there. On mine as soon as I hit the Head System breaker the pump is energized I know because I had a leaking seal at the ball value and all it kept doing was sucking water down there.
Best of luck with the new boat!!
