Operating a boat is a safe and enjoyable experience.
Indmar marine engines use gasoline for fuel. The area
under the engine and around the gasoline tank and sup-
ply lines is not open to outside air. Ventilation around
these areas must be provided by your bilge blower sys-
tem and air vents located around the boat. We recom-
mend taking time out to carefully inspect your boat at
least once a day for gasoline fumes, oil leaks, and areas
where wiring may be worn or damaged.
Explosive gasoline and battery fumes may
accumulate in your engine compartment.
Failure to properly ventilate fumes with the
bilge blower may result in explosive atmos-
phere resulting in death or serious injury to
you and your passengers.
Before starting engine operate bilge blower
at least 4 minutes and raise engine cover to
ventilate fumes. Inspect engine and compart-
ment for any fluid or fuel leaks.Failure to do
so can possibly result in fire and/or explo-
sion resulting in death or serious injury to
