CHAPTER 7
Automatic Fire Extinguisher
Vessels with the automatic fire
extinguisher system should check
the halon unit for tightness at the
engine compartment monthly. At
that time the unit itself should
be weighed to ensure it is full.
If the green dash indicator light
is not on when the key is in the
ignition position there is a system
malfunction that must be investigated immediately. Refer to the manual
in the owner’s packet
Blower
Check the blower hoses to ensure they are fastened in the bilge properly
and there are no holes in them. The hose connected to the blower needs
to be positioned about 3/4 of the way down in the bilge to evacuate
fumes properly. All vents need to be checked for debris.
Make sure the blower motor is securely fastened and all hose clamps
and or tie wraps are tight. Also, check all electrical eyelet connectors
for tightness.
