ENGINE VENTILATION
Ventilation systems are required for all engine compartments. Your
vessel features a set of four deck vents located underneath the sun pad
seat, which constantly supplies fresh air to the engine compartment.
A powered blower motor attached to duct work in the lower one third
of the bilge evacuates air to the atmosphere. The other vents are used
to take air into the engine compartment. Understand the following
warning!
