Fuel fumes in the engine compartment can explode.
Before working on electrical wiring, ventilate
engine room and disconnect battery cables to
prevent sparks.
7.3.7 Ventilation
Ventilation is a very important issue with your boat, with
the potential for Carbon Monoxide buildup (See Boating
Safety Section), along with the simple comfort of fresh
air or air conditioning, ventilation is a standard that is a
necessity.
On your boat, there are essentially three types of ventila-
tion, the air conditioning system (AC system), the blower,
and the Bomar hatches, which supply you with fresh
air when opened. Since the air conditioning system is
AC powered (see AC Electric Section) and the hatches
require no power, we will detail the blower (or fans), and
their function, here.
For blower location, consult your Mechanical Arrangement
illustration in the Boating Safety Section, or the Ventilation
illustration in the same section.
The engine room blower is an exhaust fan which will
remove any exhaust fumes from the engine room, as well
as, removing heated air.
7.3.7.1 To operate the engine compartment blower:
Power up the DC system as discussed in this section.
Turn on engine panel.
7.3.8 Stereo System
The breaker marked "Stereo", on the 12 Volt DC Panel
supplies power to the stereo on your boat. For more infor-
mation about the controls of your stereo consult product
manual in your owner's packet.

is to be stored in a holding tank or other device so it can be
properly disposed of at a shore facility. Discharging this waste
overboard in the U.S. lakes, rivers, bays, and sounds and with-
in 3 miles of shore in international waters is prohibited. Check
with the Coast Guard regarding regulations in your area.

7.3.9 Macerator (Not Available)
The breaker marked "Macerator", on the 12 Volt DC
Panel supplies power to the macerator pump on your
boat.
7.3.9.1 To operate the macerator pump:
1. Power up the DC panel as described in this section.
2. Open the seacock valve located under the steps to
salon.
3. Switch the MACERATOR breaker at the DC main elec-
trical control panel to ON.
4. Turn the macerator switch to the "on" position at the
Nav Station. This is a momentary switch, you must hold
the switch to operate.
5. Allow the macerator to run until the holding tank is
empty, but no longer. Running the macerator when the
tank is empty will damage the pump. When full, the
macerator will have a low pitch grind. When empty, this
changes to a high pitch grind.
6. When you hear the pump speed up (indicates tank is
empty), immediately switch the MACERATOR breaker to
OFF.
7. Close the seacock.
