2016 OWNERS MANUAL / 0267
HEATER
Models
All models, as an option.
Purpose
Warmed air from an electrically powered heater box will be blown
from vents within the boat deck, to keep occupants warms.
Location
Heater vents locations vary by model, but all are located within the
cockpit. They typically reside in the driver’s floor, either side of the
cockpit in the cupholder inserts, and/or on the observer dash near the
glove box. A heater tube and vent is typically installed near the floor.
Operation
The heater’s three-position switch rotary control is turned left for
ON (LOW), or turned right for ON (HIGH). The center position is
OFF.
Excessive use will drain the battery(ies). See the battery information
provided at the beginning of this section of this Owner’s Manual to
avoid potentially becoming stranded by a fully discharged battery
or batteries. Pay attention to the voltmeter; any time the reading
falls below 10.5 volts, the battery(ies) will require recharging, which
must be done properly. That information is also contained in the
beginning of this section.
Special Attention
In regular use, the heater should not require any routine
maintenance. However, it is advisable to avoid placing items in front
of the vents, particularly when the heater is in use. The heated air
coming out could cause damage.
Never run the heater in a confined space, such as a garage or shop.
Running the heater requires also running the engine and fumes
from the engine can have deadly consequences. See also the Com-
mon Sense Approach in the Safety section of this Owner’s Manual
regarding carbon monoxide danger.
Carbon monoxide is emitted from the engine’s exhaust system.
Never run the engine without proper ventilation. Do not run the
engine in a confined space or where fumes may be trapped.
Troubleshooting
If the heater fails to respond when the switch is turned to either of
its ON positions, check on the main circuit breaker panel to ensure
that the circuit has not tripped. If resetting does not correct the
