Ventilation System - Regal 3760 Owner's Manual

VENTILATION SYSTEM

Ventilation systems are required for engine compartments.
Your boat features a set of deck cowlings. Under the
cowlings is a system of ducting that supplies constant
fresh air to the engine compartment. Dual powered
blowers connected to ducts in the lower one third of the
bilge help evacuate any fuel vapors and carbon monoxide
to the atmosphere.
The intake ducts are separated from the exhaust ducts to
help prevent any mixing of the two systems. They are
found on both port and starboard deck sides. See the
illustration.
Owners are responsible for keeping their boat's ventilation
systems in top operating condition. This means making
sure the ventilation openings are obstruction free, duct
hoses are not blocked with insect nests, tore, blowers
operate properly and any worn parts are replaced with
approved marine replacements only. Never use automotive
or RV parts since they may not be ignition protected and
therefore may cause a fire or explosion especially if used
in the engine compartment.
