Engine room ventilation
On the Grand Soleil 40 the engine ventilation system is a natural one.
The two air intakes for the ventilation of the engine room are at the top side, protected by
two plastic grids, one at the right and one at the left of the transom’s recess.
Two pipes of the right dimensions connect the two intakes to the engine room, allowing the
entering of the necessary air for the engine functioning and a suitable ventilation. This is
forced when the engine is running, cause by the engine aspiration, while it is natural when
the engine is stopped.
Warning on the engine room ventilation
Warning:
-
do not prevent the air circulation by closing the air inlet with objects or towels.
-
Do not crush or cut the pipes in the stern peaks with heavy loads or sharp objects.
•
In case of fire inside the engine room, promptly stop ventilation of the compartment by
clogging with towels, clothes or cushions the air intake vent.
