VENTILATION SYSTEM
8.1 Head Compartment Ventilation
Ventilation to the head compartment area is provided by an
opening port window and a vent in the door.
Port Window
An opening port window is located in the side of the head
compartment. The port window is equipped with a screen and
is secured in the closed position by three twist action locks.
The locks should be adjusted so they are tight enough to seal
the window in the closed position, but not so tight that they
break the plastic.
Always make sure the window is closed and secured with the
cam levers whenever the boat is underway. Sea spray could
enter the head compartment through an open window and
damage equipment or items stored in there.
8.2 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 window and the head compartment door
are made of acrylic plastic glass. Acrylic glass scratches
easily. Never use a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions
on acrylic glass.
• Use a soft cloth and mild soap and water for routine
cleaning. Solvents and products containing ammonia
can permanently damage acrylic glass. Please refer to
the Routine Maintenance chapter for more information
on the proper maintenance for acrylic plastic glass.
