11.6 Automatic Fire Extinguishing System
The Denali engine compartment is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system. The
equipment has been chosen and located to provide sufficient volume and coverage of the entire
engine compartment area. While the system ensures excellent bilge fire protection, it does not
eliminate the U.S. Coast Guard requirement for hand held fire extinguishers.
The automatic fire extinguishing system is automatically activated when the temperature in the
engine compartment reaches a specific temperature, usually around 165
0
F. The system is
equipped with an indicator light. Under normal circumstances, whenever the ignition key is
turned on, the indicator light will glow. This indicates that the system is operating and ready
for activation if necessary. If the indicator light does not glow when the ignition switch is turned
on, either the system has discharged or there is a problem that should be corrected before using
the boat. Should the unit discharge during the operation of the boat, the lamp will go off.
An engine cut out circuit automatically shuts down the engine when the system is activated. The
red light on the fire extinguisher control panel will light and an alarm will sound if this should
occur. When sufficient time has elapsed for the fire to be extinguished and a flashback is no
longer possible, find and fix the problem, then the override switch on the control panel can be
moved to the “OVERRIDE” position and the engine can be restarted.
IF ACTIVATION SHOULD OCCUR, IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES, ELEC-
TRICAL SYSTEMS, POWERED VENTILATION AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MA-
TERIALS. DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HATCH IMMEDIATELY!!
THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE FIRE AND FLASH BACK COULD RESULT. ALLOW THE
EXTINGUISHING AGENT TO SOAK THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES AND WAIT FOR HOT METALS OR FUELS TO COOL BEFORE CAUTIOUSLY
INSPECTING FOR CAUSE OR DAMAGE. HAVE AN APPROVED PORTABLE FIRE EX-
TINGUISHER AT HAND AND READY FOR USE. DO NOT BREATH FUMES OR VAPORS
CAUSED BY THE FIRE!!
DIESEL ENGINES WILL CONSUME EXTINGUISHING AGENT. IF THE SYSTEM DIS-
CHARGES AND THE ENGINES DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN, IT MUST
BE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN MANUALLY. IF A DIESEL ENGINE IS ALLOWED TO
RUN IN THIS SITUATION, IT WILL CONSUME THE EXTINGUISHING AGENT AND
FLASH BACK COULD RESULT.
