A flow of air into the bilge compartment is provided by vents. Periodic inspection and cleaning of the

ventilation ducts is necessary to ensure adequate air circulation.

13.6 Generator (Optional)

The engine maintenance required on the generator is similar in many ways to any inboard engine. The engine

incorporates a pressure-type lubrication system and a fresh water cooled engine block which is thermostatically

controlled. The most important factors to the generator's longevity are proper ventilation and maintenance

of the fuel system, ignition system, cooling system, lubrication system and the AC alternator.

Maintenance schedules and procedures are outlined in your generator owner’s manual. They should be

followed exactly.

13.7 Drainage System

It is essential that the following items be done periodically to maintain proper drainage of your boat:

• Clean the cockpit drains with a hose to remove debris that can block water drainage.

• Clean the hardtop, tower or radar arch leg drain holes. This is especially important just before winter lay-

up.

• Frequently test the automatic bilge switch for proper operation. This is accomplished by inserting a stiff

wire or small rod through one of the slots in the float chamber of the pump and lifting the float switch

until the pump is activated. You can also use a garden hose to flood the bilge until the water level is high

enough to activate the pump.

• Flush all gravity drains with fresh water to keep them clean and free flowing.

• Operate the thru-hull valves once a month and service as required.

NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICAL DRAIN CLEANERS IN MARINE DRAIN SYSTEMS. PER-

MANENT DAMAGE TO THE HOSES AND FITTINGS MAY RESULT.

ALL DRAINS AND PUMPS MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED BEFORE WINTER LAY-

UP.
