SYSTEM OPERATIONS-42
Turn main battery switches on to oper-
ate bilge blower. Ventilate all bilges for at
least fi ve (5) minutes.
Make a fi
nal inspection of the engine
and/or generator space and smell for
fumes. If they are present, open all doors
and ports and evacuate the boat. Notify
the Dockmaster and request a qualifi ed
technician to correct the problem. If it is
clear, follow the recommended engine
starting procedure. When storing your
boat for extended periods, it is preferable
to “top-off” the tanks and add fuel condi-
tioner and or stabilizer. Please refer to the
Engine Owner’s Manual for recommenda-
tions.
FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of your fuel system must
also be a high priority. As boats get older,
maintenance may be done by people with
varying degrees of expertise. Materials
and methods previously used may also
change.
