BILGE VENTILATION
SYSTEM
________________
The engine and generator
(if so equipped) compartments on your 330
Sport Bridge ar e enclosed ar eas and ar e
subject to the accumulation of danger ous
fuel fumes. If these fumes are not ventilated
or properly exhausted from the engine/gen-
erator compartment, they may be ignited,
resulting in
fi
re or explosion and possible
injury or death.
Your 330 Sport Bridge is equipped with four
(4) vents, located on the port side and on the
starboard side (See adjacent photographs, which
illustrate the location of these vents). Ventilation
is created by the use of two (2) bilge blowers,
located in the engine compartment.
Operation of the bilge blowers is as follows:
The battery switch must be turned to the
ON position (See photograph on Page 59,
which illustrates the location of the battery
switch).
The bridge electrical breaker switch must be
turned ON (See
Electrical Panel on Page
143, which illustrates the location of the
bridge electrical breaker).
Depress the blower motor switch, located
on the helm switch panel (See
Console
Layout on Page 142, which illustrates the
location of the blower motor switch). The
small light located on the blower switch will
illuminate to indicate the blower motors are
in operation.
