Propulsion

Engine

The owner's packet contains detailed engine operation and maintenance manuals. Be sure to read and understand
these manuals before operating or performing maintenance to the engine. The engine compartment can be accessed
through the aft cockpit hatch.

Engine Room Ventilation System

The bilge blowers remove fumes from the engine compartment
and draw fresh air into the compartment through the deck vents.
To ensure fresh air circulation, operate the bilge blowers:
• At least four minutes prior to starting the engines.
• During engine starting.
• Anytime your boat is operating below cruising speed.
!
EXPLOSION HAZARD!
Operation of the blower system is not a guarantee
that explosive fumes have been removed. If you smell
any fuel, do not start the engines. If the engines are already
running, immediately shut off the engines and all electrical
accessories and investigate. Do not obstruct or modify the
ventilation system.
SYSTEM DAMAGE HAZARD!
The engine cooling system's seacocks must be in the open position before engine is started and while the engine
is operating.

Fuel System

Carefully read the fuel sections of the owner's manual and the engine operation manual, paying special attention to
the subject of fueling instructions and fuel recommendations.
FIRE, EXPLOSION AND OPEN FLAME HAZARD!
• It is very important that the fuel system be inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and at each
subsequent filling.
• The fueling instructions in the owner's manual and the fuel recommendations in the engine operation
manual MUST be followed.
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fittings and tank.
