12 CHAPTER 3: COMPONENTS / SYSTEMS

Engine Room Ventilation System

The bilge blower removes fumes from the engine
compartment and draws fresh air into the compart-
ment through the deck vents. To ensure fresh air cir-
culation, operate the bilge blowers for at least four
minutes before starting the engines or generator, dur-
ing starting, and while operating the yacht below
cruising speed.
Operation of the blower system is NOT A GUARANTEE that explosive fumes have
been removed. If you smell any fuel, DO NOT start the engine. If the engine is
already running, immediately shut off the engine and all electrical accessories.
Investigate immediately. DO NOT obstruct or modify the ventilation system.

Water Pickup Systems

The seawater strainers should be checked periodically for debris. The standard configuration is one strainer for each
engine, one for the generator and one for the air conditioning system (if installed). The strainers are located in the
engine compartment.
