• Blower System:Thistwo-posionswitchturnstheblowersystemONwhen
theswitchisturnedUP;andturnsthesystemOFFwhenturnedDOWN.
Always operate the blower for several
minutes prior to starting the engine,
running at a low speed or at idle.
This must be done with the engine
compartment open. Failure to perform this necessary function
could result in an explosion of the accumulated fumes within the
compartment, leading to serious injury or death.
   Theblowersystemventscarbonmonoxide,anaturallyoccurringby-
productoftheengineanddrivetrainoperaon,throughtheexhaustmanifold,muer,exhaustlines
andapthatcombinetoremovedangerouscarbonmonoxideandothernaturallyoccurringtoxicby-
productsfromtheengineanddrivetrainoperaon.Theemissionsprimarilyareeliminatedthroughthe
exhaustaplocatedbeneaththeswimplaorm.Althoughmuchoftheexhaustisdisbursedintoand
throughthewater,fumessllreachtheswimplaormandtransomareaoftheboat,includingthesun
pads.Therefore,nooneshouldeverbeontheswimplaorm,transomorsunpadswhentheengineis
operang.SeetheSafetyseconofthisOwner’sManualformoredetail.
Neveroperatetheboatifyouoranyoneonboardsuspectsthattheexhaustorfuelsystemisnot
performingasdesigned.
   ReadtheBlower SysteminformaonintheHow It Worksseconandallofthe Safety seconin
thisOwner’sManual.Importantinformaonisincludedinthoseseconsregardingproperoperaon

• Bilge System: This three-posion switch provides manual control of the bilge system. (The boat
isequippedwithanautomaccontrolthatisexplainedintheHow It WorksseconofthisOwners
Manual.)TurntheswitchUPtooperatethecenterbilgepump(markedCTRBLG);centertoturnitOFF;
andturntheswitchDOWNtooperatetherearbilgepump(markedREARBLG).
The safe operaon of the boat is dependent upon a properly funconing bilge system. Thebilge
isavoidbetweenthedeckandhullinwhichunintendedwateraccumulatesasitisdrainedfromother
areasoftheboat.(Itdoesnotincludethewaterintheballastsystem,whichiscontainedintanks.)
   Thebilgeshouldberounelychecked,anddrainedasnecessary.Theautomacfunconwilloen
keepthesystemfreeofexcesswater.Too much waterinthe systemcan aect theboat’s handling
underoperaon,andcanpotenallyswampaboat,causingdamagetoothercomponentsinthebilge
compartment,orevensinkingoftheboat.
   Therearetwo(2)bilgepumpsinallboats.Onepumpislocatedinthecenteroftheboat,directly
belowthecenterpie-plateaccess.Thesecondpumpislocatedatthetransomoftheboat,aofthe
engineontheportside.
