GASOLINE CAN EXPLODE. IN THE EVENT OF A FUEL COMPARTMENT OR BILGE FIRE,
YOU MUST MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION TO FIGHT THE FIRE OR ABANDON THE
BOAT. YOU MUST CONSIDER YOUR SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF YOUR PASSENGERS, THE
INTENSITY OF THE FIRE AND THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EXPLOSION IN YOUR DECISION.
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.
Diesel powered boats have an engine cut out circuit that 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 EN-
GINES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, POWERED VENTILATION AND EXTINGUISH
ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. 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 EXTINGUISHER
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
DISCHARGES AND THE ENGINES DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN,
IT MUST BE IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN MANUALLY. IF A DIESEL ENGINE
