8.3 Engine Compartment Ventilation
All Pursuit inboard/outboard boats are equipped with engine compartment ventilation. The
ventilation system is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the United States Coast
Guard in effect at the time of manufacture.
Free Air System
A flow of air into the engine compartment is provided by vents located on the stern hull sides.
Exhaust vent hoses, located on either side of the engine, provide a flow of air out of the engine
compartment. The exhaust hose ducts reach to the lower part of the engine compartment. This
provides adequate air movement while operating at or near cruise speeds.
Forced Ventilation
All Pursuit inboard/outboard boats are equipped with electric blowers that provide ventilation
to the engine compartment prior to start up and while operating below cruise speed. The
blowers should be operated for five (5) minutes prior to the operation of the engine or any
electrical accessory.
When the boat is operated below cruise speed, there may not be enough air pressure at the
vents to provide adequate ventilation in the engine compartment. Therefore, it is extremely
important to operate the blowers whenever the boat is not on plane. Always check the blower
exhaust vents for airflow when the blowers are operating. If the blowers are running and there
is little or no airflow at the exhaust vents, then the system is not operating properly and should
be serviced.
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, OPERATE
THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BLOWER FOR FIVE (5) MINUTES, OPEN THE EN-
GINE HATCH, INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK THE ENGINE COMPART-
MENT FOR THE ODOR OF GASOLINE VAPORS. ALWAYS OPERATE THE
BLOWERS WHILE THE ENGINE IS AT IDLE AND BELOW CRUISE SPEED. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS PROCEDURE BE OVERLOOKED.
