AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 162
Location
The blower system is mostly unseen by those on-board.
The system operates automatically when the key switch is
turned to the ON position, however the blower can be turned
on through the 11” screen on the dash. Navigate to the
switches page and toggle the blower ON or OFF. The engine
compartment blower exhausts fumes through vents located on
the transom of the boat.
Operation
On both the stern drive and outboard Aviara boats, the blower
will automatically run for four (4) minutes when the keys are
inserted and turned to the ON position. To manually operate the
blower, navigate to the switches page on the 11” dash screen
and toggle the Blower switch to ON.
NOTE: Blower operation uses battery power and can drain batteries
if run excessively without starting the engine(s).
The blower must operate for a minimum of four (4) minutes before
starting the engine at any time. The blower must also be operated
during idle and slow-speed running, but is not necessary during
cruising speed.
Troubleshooting
NEVER OPERATE THE BOAT IF THE BLOWER SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE
OR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. SEE THE DANGER WARNING ON THE
PREVIOUS PAGE.
The blower hums audibly when it is operating. If it is not
functioning, turn the ignition key to ON and verify on the
voltmeter that the electrical system is at least 11.5 volts or
higher. If it is not, it will be necessary to recharge the batteries.
See the electrical information in this section of the Owner’s
Manual for proper procedure. If there is sufficient charge
indicated, but the blower still is not operating properly, DO NOT
LAUNCH THE BOAT. Take the boat to an authorized Aviara dealer
for repair.
