VENTILATION SYSTEM
8.1 Cabin Ventilation
Ventilation to the cabin area is provided by three
deck hatches. Additionally, there is a 12-volt
exhaust blower in the head compartment that pro-
vides forced ventilation to that area whenever
the blower is activated by the switch on the head
compartment wall.
Deck Hatches
The deck hatches are supported in the open posi-
tion by one or two adjustable hatch adjusters.
They are secured in the closed position by one or
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 a hatch, release the lock and rotate the
cam lever to the open position. Raise the hatch
and secure it by tightening the knob on the hatch
lifter. To close the hatch, loosen the hatch
adjuster and lower the hatch. Secure in the closed
position with the two cam levers and slide locks.
Each hatch is equipped with a retractable sun-
shade and screen. A magnetic latch secures the
screen and shade together. To use the screen,
pull the plastic tab for the screen on the side of
the hatch and attach it to the plastic tab on the
other side of the hatch. To use the sunshade,
pull the plastic tab for the sunshade and attach it
to the plastic tab on the other side hatch. When
the tabs are attached, they can slide in either
direction to select the screen or the sunshade.
Disconnect the tabs to store the screen and the
sunshade or to open and close the hatch.
Port Windows
Opening port windows are located in V-berth, main
salon and aft cabin. Each window opens to pro-
vide ventilation into the cabin area and is equipped
with a removable screen.
The windows are secured by adjustable cam le-
vers. The cam levers should be adjusted so they
are tight enough to seal the windows in the closed
position, but not so tight that the window be-
comes difficult to secure.
