Operation of the bilge blowers is as fol-
lows:
• The battery switch must be turned to the
ON position (See photograph on Page 61,
which illustrates the location of the battery
switch).
• The bridge electrical breaker switch must
be turned ON (See photograph of AC DC
Panel on Page 159, which illustrates the
location of the bridge electrical breaker).
• Depress the blower motor switch, located
on the helm switch panel (See Helm Switch
Panel Layout on Page 158, which illustrates
the location of the blower motor switch). The
small light located on the blower switch will
illuminate to indicate the blower motors are
in operation.
To reduce the risk of fi re or explosion within
the engine/generator compartments of your
352 MY, the bilge blower motors should
ALWAYS be operated under the following
conditions:
• Operate the blower motors for a minimum
of fi ve (5) minutes prior to starting the en-
gines or generator.
• Operate the blower motors for a minimum
of fi ve (5) minutes after fueling your yacht
before restarting your engines.
• Operate the blower motors continuously
while your yacht is travelling less than cruis-
ing speed.
General maintenance of the bilge blower
motors is minimal, as they are sealed units.
If they fail to operate after being turned on,
make sure all breaker switches are turned
ON. If the blower motors still fail to operate,
check the in-line fuse located on the electri-
cal input line adjacent to the blower motor.
If the fuses are in operable condition and
the blower motors do not operate, contact
your Silverton dealer for further inspection
or replacement, if necessary.
