those differences are highlighted.
The systems/components discussed in this chapter are:
• Safety Package
• Seacocks and Thru-Hulls
•Bilge Pumps
•Fuel Systems
• Steering Systems

Safety Package
Never restart the engine should a fire occur. Correct the malfunction
that caused the fire and replace the fire bottle before you use the
boat again.
The optional safety package includes the Automatic Fire Extinguisher Indicator (Figure 3-5) and an engine
compartment fire extinguisher (Figure 3-6). If your boat has this option, work with your dealer to become
familiar with the operation of the system.
The engine alarm monitors the engine compartment for fire. The location of the engine compartment fire
indicator may vary from model to model but is generally located near the helm instrument panel.
Should an engine fire occur, the fire bottle automatically discharges.
