dently ignited. Visually and by smell (sniff test), check the engine and fuel compartments for
fumes or accumulation of fuel. Always operate the bilge blowers for at least four minutes
prior to engine starting, electrical system maintenance or activation of electrical devices.

Electrical connections are prone to corrosion. To reduce corrosion-caused electrical problems,
keep all electrical connections clean and periodically coat them with a product specifically
designed to control and prevent corrosion.
