Engine Room Ventilation System
The bilge blowers remove fumes from the engine compartment and draws fresh air into the compartment through
the deck vents. To ensure fresh air circulation, operate the bilge blowers for at least four minutes prior to starting
the engines (or optional generator), during starting, and while operating your boat below cruising speed.
EXPLOSION, SCALDING & FIRE HAZARD!

avoid serious burns and to prevent creating fire hazards.
• Do not touch stove burners, grates or areas near the stove units as they may be hot even
when they are dark in color. Areas near burners and grates may become hot enough to
cause burns. Always keep an approved ABC-type fire extinguisher in galley area.
• Do not operate the stove while underway.
