VENTILATION SYSTEM
10.1 Cabin Ventilation
Cabin Door
Ventilation to the cabin is provided by opening
the cabin door and window. A spring loaded latch
automatically secures the door in the open position
and a lockable, twist lock latch secures the door
when it is closed.
It is very important that the door is secured properly
in the closed position whenever the boat is operated
above idle speed. The cabin door is heavy and if
the door is not closed and properly latched, it could
slam shut when the boat rocks and pinch someone’s
fingers between the door and cabin or damage the
door. Make sure the door is fully latched in the
closed position before operating the boat above
idle speed.
CAUTION
NEVER LEAVE THE CABIN DOOR UNLATCHED. THE CABIN
DOOR IS HEAVY AND CLOSES EASILY. IF THE DOOR IS
LEFT UNLATCHED, IT COULD SLAM UNEXPECTEDLY AS
THE BOAT ROCKS, DAMAGING THE DOOR OR CAUSING AN
INJURY TO A PASSENGER. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE DOOR
IS PROPERLY LATCHED IN THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN
THE HEAD COMPARTMENT IS NOT BEING USED.
Port Window
An opening port window is located in the head
compartment. The window is equipped with a
screen and secured in the closed position by twist
action locks. The locks should be adjusted so
they are tight enough to seal the window in the
closed position, but not so tight that they break
the plastic.
Always make sure the window is closed and se-
cured with the cam levers whenever the boat is
underway. Sea spray could enter the compart-
ment through the open window and damage
equipment or items stowed there.
