8.3 Carbon Monoxide and Proper Ventilation
The Safety Chapter in this manual contains important information on carbon monoxide and the
carbon monoxide detector. Read the section entitled "Carbon Monoxide" in the Safety Chapter
of this Owner's Manual.
8.4 Engine Compartment Ventilation
All Pursuit inboard 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 two intake vents located on either side
of the hull. Two exhaust vents, located on each side of the deck below the windshield, provide a
flow of air out of the engine compartment. The exhaust vents have ducts that reach to the lower
part of the engine compartment. This provides adequate air movement while operating at or near
cruise speeds.
Forced Ventilation
The Pursuit 3000 Express is equipped with electric blowers that provide ventilation to the engine
compartment prior to start up and while operating below cruise speed. The blowers are activated
by a switch at the helm, and are located in the vent hoses, in the bilge, on each side of the engine
compartment . Refer to the Electrical Systems chapter for more information on blower operation.
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES
OR GENERATOR, OPERATE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BLOWER FOR
FIVE (5) MINUTES, OPEN THE ENGINE ACCESS HATCH, INSPECT THE
FUEL SYSTEM, AND CHECK THE ENGINES FOR THE ODOR OF GASO-
LINE VAPORS. ALWAYS OPERATE THE BLOWER WHILE THE ENGINES
ARE AT IDLE. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS PROCEDURE
BE OVERLOOKED.
ALWAYS RUN THE BLOWER WHEN OPERATING A GASOLINE POWERED
INBOARD BOAT BELOW CRUISE SPEEDS TO ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTI-
LATION OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.
