BILGE VENTILATION
SYSTEM
________________
The engine and genera-
tor (if so equipped) compartments on
your 352 MY are enclosed areas and are
subject to the accumulation of danger-
ous fuel fumes. If these fumes are not
ventilated or properly exhausted from
the engine/generator compartment, they
may be ignited, resulting in fi re or explo-
sion and possible injury or death.
Your 352 MY is equipped with an air intake
vent, located on the port side of the vessel
and an air exhaust vent, located on the
starboard side (See adjacent photographs,
which illustrate the location of these vents).
Ventilation through the port side intake vent
is natural and exhaustion of the ventilating
air through the starboard side vent is cre-
ated by the use of two (2) bilge blowers,
located in the engine compartment (See
Mechanical Layout on Page 155 and 156,
which illustrates the location of the bilge
blowers).
