Page: 37 / 148

The blower switch activates the blower motor. Depressing the blower switch activates
the blower. The light on the switch illuminates when the switch is on. Depress the
switch again to turn the switch off.
The primary function of the blower fan is to remove any fumes from the bilge area.
The blower also draws fresh air into the engine compartment.
Never depend solely on the blower to eliminate dangerous fumes. Before starting the
engine, always open the motor box to check if fumes are present. Switch on the
blower fan a minimum of four minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT
If the blower fails to operate, reset the circuit breaker. If the blower still does not
operate, notify your Gekko dealer.
DANGER !
Failure to operate the blower in accordance with the Coast Guard Recommendation
could result in an explosion.
