VENTILATION SYSTEM
Diesel engines require a continuous supply of fresh air
in order to generate peak horsepower and rpm. Because
diesel fuel is far less likely to explode it does not require
a blower system like gasoline powered vessels to evacuate
dangerous fumes.
To deliver fresh air for the diesel engines a dual set of
permanently mounted vents are integrated into the boat's
deck on both port and starboard sides.
When the engines are started fresh air is drawn through
the vent system. As the demand for air increases in rela-
tionship to the engine revolutions per minute (rpm's) the
engine induction system supplies the required additional
air supply by inhaling more air through the vents.
Check the vents periodically for any obstructions or for-
eign objects such as nests or spider webs. If the propul-
sion system is running at a lower than normal cruising
rpm or seems to lack power or the vessel is slow to plane
check the fresh air supply to the engines including the
engine air fi lters.
