    ECTION ROPULSION Fuel Tank Vents Each fuel tank, for both gasoline and diesel fuel sys- tems, is vented overboard. As the fuel tank is filled, air is displaced from inside the tank and escapes through the vent. Engine Room Your boat’s engine room is equipped with a ventilation Ventilation system consisting of intake ducts, exhaust ducts and bilge blowers.

  • Page 119: Cooling System

    If you are not sure which type of cooling system is installed on your boat, contact your Carver Dealer. Both open and closed cooling systems require seawater to function. Before each cruise, make sure the strainers located near the seacocks are free of sea weed and other debris.

  • Page 120: Exhaust System

    ECTION ROPULSION After starting your engines, check the engine exhaust outlet. If water is not being ejected from the outlet, immediately shut down the engines. Determine why seawater is not being pumped through the system. Have the problem corrected before restarting the engines. If the engine temperature gauges register a higher than normal temperature reading, the cooling system may need to be repaired.

  • Page 126: Steering

    ECTION ROPULSION Before shifting an engine into or out of gear, always return its throttle to the extreme low speed position. Failure to follow this procedure could result in serious damage to the engine’s drive train. Because your boat has dual engines, it is recommended that you operate the engines at the same speed while cruising.

With hydraulic steering, the effort needed to turn the helm remains the same regardless of the boat’s speed. For the hydraulic steering system to operate properly, it must have an adequate source of hydraulic fluid and sufficient pressure within the hydraulic pump and lines.
