PROPULSION
SECTION 5
Engine Room Ventilation
Your boat’s engine room is equipped with a ventilation system consisting of
intake ducts, exhaust ducts and bilge blowers. This system is designed to remove
any fuel vapor from the engine room. The bilge blowers operate whenever the
engines are running, as long as the four Bilge Blower circuit breakers on the
DC Control Center are “ON.”
You are responsible for keeping the engine room ventilation system in proper
operating condition. Inspect the intake and exhaust ducts regularly to make sure
they are free of obstructions and have not collapsed or torn. Inspect the blowers
to make sure they are operating properly. Replace any worn components with
new components of the same type.
Operate the blowers for at least 4 minutes and until the engine room is
free of any fuel vapor before starting the engines or the generator.
Cooling System
Each propulsion engine has a cooling system which removes excess heat from
the engine and its exhaust system. Closed systems use a freshwater/antifreeze
mixture to cool the engine. The coolant runs through a heat exchanger where
the excess heat is transferred to seawater taken in through a seacock for each
engine. Open cooling systems use seawater to cool the engines directly. If you
are not sure which type of cooling system is installed on your boat, contact your
Carver Dealer.
Both open and closed cooling systems require seawater to function. Before each
cruise, make sure the cooling system seacocks are closed, then make sure the
optional strainers are free of seaweed and other debris. Open the cooling system
seacocks before you start your engines. The seacock and strainer for each
engine’s cooling system is located aft of the engine. Refer to Section 9 - Engine
Room for the exact location of the seacocks and strainers. If the engines have
closed cooling systems, make sure that you have a sufficient level of coolant in
each system.
If you intend to operate the boat with only one engine running, you
must first turn off the cooling system seacock for the engine that will
not be running. Failure to do so can flood the non-running engine with
seawater, damaging it. Before you restart the non-running engine, open
its seacock again.
Running an engine with an inadequate supply of antifreeze, or with
obstructed or restricted seawater pickups or strainers can cause serious
damage to the engine and its related systems.
