VENTILATION SYSTEM
6.1 Bilge Compartment Ventilation
A flow of air into the bilge compartment is provided by four vents located on either side of the cockpit, under
the gunwale boards. This provides adequate air movement in the bilge compartment.
6.2 Head Compartment Ventilation
Ventilation to the head compartment is provided by an opening port window.
PORT LITES
The port lites are secured by adjustable dogs. The dogs should be adjusted so they are tight enough to seal
the windows in the closed position, but not so tight that they are difficult to latch. The dogs are adjusted by
turning a screw. This screw increases or decreases the pressure on each dog. The screen must be removed
prior to closing the port lite to ensure a water resistant seal.
6.3 Carbon Monoxide and Proper Ventilation
The Safety Equipment chapter in this manual contains important information on carbon monoxide. Read the
section entitled "Carbon Monoxide" in the Safety Equipment chapter of this Owner's Manual.
6.4 Maintenance
• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch assemblies with a light oil.
• Periodically clean and coat gasket materials with silicone to help keep them pliable.
• The opening port windows are made of acrylic plastic. Acrylic plastic scratches easily. Never use a dry
cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic plastic. Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water for routine
cleaning. Solvents and products containing ammonia can permanently damage acrylic plastic. Please
refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for more information on the proper maintenance for acrylic
plastic.
