7.6.4 Ventilation System
The engine room ventilation system is comprised of port and starboard air inlet
plenums. The engine room intake plenums are designed to remove moisture
from the incoming air and drain it overboard. The plenum drains are located in
the bottom of each plenum at the aft end, and run aft to a thru-hull fitting. Check
the hoses twice a year for secure connections. Refer to section 7.8 for drainage
maintenance information.
