CHAPTER 7
Automatic Fire Extinguisher
Vessels with the automatic fi re 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.
