Ventilation System
6.1 Head Compartment
Ventilation
Ventilation is supplied by an opening port
lite.
Port Lites
The port lites are secured by adjustable
dogs. The dogs should be adjusted so they
are tight enough to seal the window in the
closed position, but not so tight that they are
difficult to latch. The dogs are adjusted by
turning a screw. The screw increases or
decreases the pressure on each dog. The
screen must be removed prior to closing the
port light to ensure a water resistant seal
except on the ST 310 where the screen is
fixed in place.
6.2 Carbon Monoxide and
Proper Ventilation
Read "Carbon Monoxide" in the Safety Sec-
tion. It contains important information on car-
bon monoxide and the carbon monoxide
detector.
6.3 Bilge Compartment
Ventilation
Air flow into the bilge compartment is sup-
plied by four vents on either side of the cock-
pit, under the gunwale boards.
6.4 Maintenance
• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch
assemblies with a light oil. And, clean
and coat gasket materials with silicone to
help keep them pliable.
• The opening cabin deck hatches and
port windows are made of acrylic plastic.
Acrylic can scratch easily. DO NOT use
a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions;
use a soft cloth, mild soap, and water for
routine cleaning. Solvents and products
containing ammonia can permanently
damage acrylic. Refer to Routine Main-
tenance for more information on the
proper maintenance for acrylic.
