7.3.4 To operate the bilge blower or “ventilation”
system:
1. Power up the DC system as discussed in this sec-
tion.
7.3.5 Diesel Engines / Diesel Generator:
2. At the MDP switch the blower on.
7.3.6 Gas Engines / Gas Generator:
2. With Gas engines you have a blower in both the
engine compartment and the generator or Lazarette
compartment. There is a blower switch located at any
location you can start an engine from.
3. Switch the blower motor on.
7.3.7 To operate the windlass:
1. Power up the windlass from the battery switch.
2. Electrical controls for the windlass are at the helm sta-

3. There are foot controls at the bow pulpit that operate
the windlass as well. The red switch lowers the anchor
and the gray switch raises the anchor.
Important: Attached to the anchor chain is a safety cable.
This cable must be manually released in order to operate
the windlass to lower your anchor. This is a safety fea-
ture so the the anchor is not accidentally lowered while
underway, or any situation that it would be undesirable
to lower the anchor. Be sure and place the safety cable
back on the anchor chain when not in use.
7.3.8 CO Monitors
For your protection Mainship has installed CO Monitors
aboard your boat. The operation of the CO monitor
requires a (10) ten minute warm up period, during which
the sensor element is cleaned and the unit is stabilized.
During this warm up period, the green indicator light will
flash on and off. The green indicator light will remain on
until the next warm up period or the detection of Carbon
Monoxide gas. If the green indicator light does not illumi-
nate, make sure a qualified electrician checks all wiring
connections, and clean and tighten if necessary. Check
the breaker at t he battery switch. If the indicator light
still fails to illuminate, contact your Mainship dealer for
replacement.
7.3.8.1 Low CO Warning
When CO gas is detected there are audible and visual
signals that follow. A “Low CO Warning” will be a flash-
ing yellow indicator accompanied by a beep sound every
(5) five minutes. The yellow indicator will flash until the
presence of CO has been lowered to an acceptable
level. If the level is not lowered then an alarm will sound
in approximately (15) fifteen minutes. Contact a qualified
