3.1. ENGINE COOLING:
Your marine engine’s performance and trouble-free operation is
depending on proper seawater cooling.
In order to assure sufficient cooling flow, your inboard and outboards
engine suction openings, pipes and filters should be totally free of debris,
floating garbage and crustaceans.
Please refer to your engine’s operation manual for cooling water checking
procedures.
Engine Room Ventilation (for inboard engines only):
For engines safety and performance, ensure that ventilation ducts are free
and allow easy flow.
4. SYSTEMS AND CIRCUITS
Please see your boat’s Specific Information Booklet.
4.1. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Please see your boat’s Specific Information Booklet.
If a fuse consistently blows, please have your electrical circuitry checked
by a professional.
If your NorthStar boat is equipped with a removable 360° Pole light that
satisfies the 1 meter rule of the COLREGS which requires a minimum of 1
meter height difference between the navigation lights and the pole light,
you are not required to keep this light installed during daytime when there
is good visibility. At night or when the visibility condition dictates the use of
the pole light, simply remove it from its location under the aft center locker
and install it in the plug provided on the aft starboard side of the boat. To
retain it, tighten the locking collar. When not in use, simply remove it by
loosening its collar and stow it under its storage location.
If there is a port/starboard navigation light, a switch will operate it and must
be used in the dark or when the visibility condition dictates while underway.

Battery acid is corrosive, so you have to protect eyes and skin if you have
to work on it. You must rinse splashes of acid with fresh water and consult
a doctor immediately. You can neutralize splashes of acid on the skin or on
clothes with acid transformer or soapsuds.
If one has drunk acid, please contact your doctor immediately.
