10.5.3.3 Maintenance on Holding Tank
Maintenance on the holding tank simply entails manag-
ing odor and ensuring no methane gas leaks exist. Any
deodorizer may be used as long as it contains no alco-
hols or strong chemicals. Do not use strong drain open-
ing chemicals or bleaching agents as they may cause
serious damage to the system’s seals and hoses.
10.6 Blower
To maintain a desired range of temperature and quality of
air within the engine compartment, your boat can process
a continuous cycle of air with the ventilation system.
A blower (Fig. 10.16) is installed in the aft cabin and can
be access through the port bunk drop-in. Air is draw
in from the engine compartment and pushed out the
air vent located in the transom garage. The blower is
activated when the engine start panel (see Engines and
Tranmissions chapter in this manual) is powered. The
blower circuitry is protected by a pop-out breaker located
on the Battery Switch Panel (see DC Electric Systems
chapter in this manual). See Figure 10.21 for the overall
blower system layout.
