SYSTEM OPERATIONS-7
BILGE VENTILATION SYSTEM
The engine and generator compart-
ments on your 43SB are enclosed
areas and are subject to the accumula-
tion of dangerous fuel fumes. If these
fumes are not ventilated or properly
exhausted from the engine/generator
compartment, they may be ignited, re-
sulting in
fi re or explosion and possible
injury or death.
Your 43SB is equipped with intake vents
for the engine room. These vents are
located on the port and starboard side of
your
43SB . The purpose of these vents is
to ventilate the engine room area of your
43SB . The photo below shows the vent
on the port side of your 43SB .
For quicker evacuation of air from the
engine room, your
43SB is equipped with
two (2) bilge blowers. The blowers are
located in the engine compartment and
exhaust out through the deck on the port
and starboard sides of your
43SB .
The photo below shows the blower ex-
haust on the port side of your
43SB .
Operation of the bilge blowers is as fol-
lows:
The battery switches must be turned
to the ON position. The Battery Switches
are located below the AC/DC Panel in the
Salon.
The bridge electrical breaker switch at
the DC Main Electrical Panel located in
the Salon, must be turned ON.
Depress the blower motor switch, locat-
ed on the helm switch panel. The switch

of this section of your Owner’s Manual.
The small light located on the blower
switch will illuminate to indicate the blower
motors are in operation. The blowers can
also be turned on at the DC Electrical
Panel. The Electrical Pages of this section
of this Owner’s Manual shows the location
of the switch on the DC Electrical Panel.
