VENTILATION SYSTEM
10.1 Cabin
Cabin Deck Hatch (224FSC/264FSC)
Ventilation to the cabin is provided by a deck hatch
in the cabin. The deck hatch is supported in the
open position by an adjustable hatch adjuster. It
is secured in the closed position by two cam levers
on the inside of the hatch. There is a sliding lock
on each cam lever to prevent them from opening
accidentally.
To open the hatch, release the lock and rotate each
cam lever to the open position. Raise the hatch
to the desired position and secure it by tightening
the friction clamp on the hatch adjuster. To close
the hatch, loosen the friction clamp and lower
the hatch. Secure in the closed position with the
two cam levers and slide locks.
The cam levers can secure the hatch in two po-
sitions, the vent position or fully closed. The
hatch is secured in the vent position by opening
the hatch slightly until the cam levers align with
the notch in the hatch frame just above the fully
closed, watertight position. With the cam levers
secured in this position, the hatch will be open
just enough to let air circulate into the cabin.
Always secure the hatch in the water tight posi-
tion when leaving the boat unattended or when
running offshore.
When the cabin hatch is open, a removable screen
can be installed in the hatch trim ring to prevent
insects from entering the cabin. The screen must
be removed to access the cam levers to open or
close the hatch.
