CHAP. C
The engine draws air for combustion directly
from the engine compartment, ensuring a
strong flow of air in this compartment while
it is running.
The boat is however also fitted with an
electric ventilator that can be used to disperse
heat from the engine compartment while
the engine is running and after stopping
the engine, with a delay relay that keeps it
running for a preset time after the engine
has been stopped (variable, but normally for
10 minutes).
The ventilator (blower) is installed beneath
the port aft guest cabin bed, and the air
extraction discharge opens onto the port aft
side of the boat.
The fuel system is described in Chap. D.
Make frequent checks on the pipes, joints
clamps and electrical connections of the
engine. These can be loosened by vibration,
causing serious malfunctions.
Always promptly clean away any leaks of oil
and fuel.
Always keep the engine, marine gear and
engine compartment bilge clean so as to be
able to easily detect even the slightest loss of
fuel, oil or cooling water.
The bilge section beneath the engine is
isolated from the other bilge compartments,
to prevent small losses of fuel or oil from
being discharged overboard by automatic
bilge drainage systems. To drain the engine
bilge section, a small hand pump can be used
(not supplied).
WHEN CLOSING SEAWATER FILTERS
