VENTILATION SYSTEM
8.1 Cabin Ventilation
Ventilation to the cabin area is provided by a deck hatch and
opening port windows.
Deck Hatch
The deck hatch is supported in the open position by an ad-
justable hatch adjuster. To close the hatch, loosen the hatch
adjuster and lower the hatch. Secure in the closed position
with the two cam levers on the inside of the hatch.
The cam levers can secure the hatch in two positions, the vent
position and fully closed. The hatch is secured in the vent
position by opening hatch slightly until the cam levers align
with the notch in the hatch frame just above the fully closed,
watertight position. With the cam levers secured in this posi-
tion, the hatch will be open just enough to let air circulate into
the cabin. Always secure the hatch in the water tight position
when leaving the boat unattended or when running offshore.
When the hatch is open, a removable screen can be installed in
the hatch trim ring to prevent insects from entering the cabin.
The screen is secured in place by four twist locks. The screen
must be removed to open or close the hatch.
Port Windows
There are two opening port windows for the cabin, one in the
head compartment and one above the galley. The port windows
are equipped with a screen and are secured in the closed posi-
tion by three twist action locks. The locks should be adjusted
so they are tight enough to seal the window in the closed posi-
tion, but not so tight that they break the plastic.
Always make sure the windows are closed and secured with
the cam levers whenever the boat is underway. Sea spray
could enter the cabin through an open window and damage
upholstery, woodwork and cabin equipment.
