Bilge Blower
Fire or explosion hazard from fumes accumulating in bilge area.
Ventilate the engine compartment by running the blower for five
minutes, especially after repairing or refueling, and check for fuel
spills or leaks.
The bilge blower forces potentially explosive fumes out of the engine compartment/
bilge area and circulates fresh air in through the deck vents. The bilge blower must
be running at least five minutes before and during engine start-up, and while boat is
operating below cruising speed.
The bilge blower energized system indicators (on some models) on the helm only
indicate that the system is energized. Always check the blowers for correct operation.
Never assume all explosive fumes have been removed from the engine
compartment. If you detect any fuel fume odors, DO NOT attempt to start, or SHUT
DOWN the engine and electrical circuits. Immediately determine the source of the
odor.
MARINE SANITATION DEVICE (MSD)
With any MSD, all Federal Water Pollution laws apply. Know these laws.
Cruiser Models
The ceramic Marine Sanitation Device (MSD), or head, installed on your
CROWNLINE is similar to your home toilet. Flushing of the head is achieved with raw
water through a manual pump, and the tandem system provides wet or dry flushing
while the waste water is flushed into the holding tank.
IMPORTANT:
Before operating the MSD, refer to the MSD instruction manual for
detailed safety precautions, operation and maintenance. Water
flooding or damage caused by misuse of the MSD is not covered
by the CROWNLINE Boats, Inc. warranty.
