Carbon Monoxide (CO) Monitor (Optional)
NOTE: Please read information describing the dangers of
carbon monoxide poisoning found on pages 1.10 to 1.12.
To activate the monitor, you must turn the battery switch
ON to apply power. The CO monitor samples carbon
monoxide concentration every 2-1/2 minutes. Once an
alarm condition has been detected, the horn will be locked
ON for the next 2-1/2 minutes at which time the next con-
centration will again be checked. At sample time, if the
concentration is below the alarm threshold, the horn will be
turned OFF. If the concentration is above the threshold, the
horn will remain ON.
Bilge Pump
The bilge pump is used to remove water from the bilge.
Most models are equipped with a manual bilge pump that
operates only when you turn on the switch at the helm.
The pump stops as soon as you turn the switch off. If you
leave your boat in the water for extended periods of time,
be sure to check the bilge regularly for water accumula-
tion. Excessive amounts of bilge water can damage
equipment located in the engine compartment.
Some models are equipped with an automatic bilge pump.
Rising water in the bilge activates a float switch to start the
pump. When most of the water has been pumped out, the
float switch automatically shuts the pump off. Automatic
bilge pumps can also be turned on manually using the
switch at the helm.
IMPORTANT: Electrically operated bilge pumps can fail.
There is no substitute for checking the bilge frequently,
especially during periods of heavy rain, high seas, or storm
conditions.
If for some reason the pump fails to start, check the fuse
and wiring connections. If the pump motor runs but no
water is discharged, it may be clogged. Keep the area
around the switch and the pump free of debris. If there is
no visible debris clogging the pump or blocking the float
switch and water is still not being removed, inspect the dis-
charge hose for kinks or obstruction.
If oil or fuel is spilled in the bilge, do not run the pump.
Keep the oil or fuel from spreading in the bilge and proper-
ly dispose of it on shore. Your dealer can help you select
products you can use to soak up the oil or fuel and give
you advice about methods of disposal.
Bilge Blower
The bilge blower forces fumes out of the engine compart-
ment area and circulates fresh air in through the deck
vents. The deck vents must be kept clear and open at all
times. The bilge blower must run at least four minutes
before starting the engine. It must also be running during
engine start-up and while operating your boat below cruis-
ing speed. It should not be operating during fueling
operations. See page 3.6 for fueling instructions.

WARNING: The Federal Water Pollution Act pro-
hibits the discharge of oil or oily waste into or upon
the navigable waters and contiguous zone of the
United States if such discharge causes a film or
sheen upon, or discoloration of, the surface of the
water, or causes a sludge or emulsion beneath the
surface of the water. Violators are subject to a
penalty of $5000.
