Ventilation System

6.1 Cabin Ventilation

A deck hatch and opening port windows pro-

vide ventilation to the cabin area.

Port Lights

Adjustable dogs secure the port lights.

Adjust the dogs so they are tight enough to

seal the windows in the closed position, but

not so tight that they are difficult to latch.

Adjust the dogs by turning the screw. The

screw increases or decreases the pressure

on each dog. Remove the screen prior to

closing the port light to ensure a water resis-

tant seal.

Deck Hatch

A variable hatch adjuster supports the deck

hatch in the open position. To close the

hatch, loosen the hatch adjuster and lower

the hatch. Secure in the closed position with

the two cam levers on the inside of the

hatch.

6.2 Windshield Ventilation

The windshield is equipped with an opening

vent panel on each side. To open the vent,

release the locking T-handle and rotate it

outboard until it locks in place. To prevent

vent glass damage, do not leave the T-han-

dle in the unlocked position.

6.3 Carbon Monoxide and

Proper Ventilation

The Safety chapter in this manual contains

important information on carbon monoxide

and the carbon monoxide detector. Read the

section entitled "Carbon Monoxide" in the

Safety chapter of this Owner's Manual.

6.4 Bilge Compartment

Ventilation

Four vents provide airflow into the bilge

compartment, located on either side of the

cockpit, under the gunwale boards. This pro-

vides adequate air movement in the bilge

compartment.

6.5 Generator Compartment

Ventilation

Your Pursuit may be equipped with the

optional generator. Regulations consider the

aft bilge area an engine compartment. The

ventilation system meets or exceeds the

requirements of the United States Coast

Guard in effect at the time of manufacture.

Forced Ventilation

Your Pursuit is equipped with a blower pro-

viding ventilation to the generator compart-

ment prior to startup, and while operating

below cruise speed. Activate the blower

using the switch on the generator panel

located in the cabin. It is good practice to

operate the blower whenever the generator

is running.

Free Air System

Vents located at the port and starboard sides

of the integrated swim platform provide air-

flow into the generator compartment. This

provides adequate air movement while oper-

ating at or near cruising speeds.

! DANGER

Gasoline vapors can explode. Before

starting the generator, operate the

generator compartment blower for

four (4) minutes. Open the generator

access hatch, inspect the fuel system

and check the generator for the odor

of gasoline vapors prior to operating.

! WARNING

Always operate the blower when the

generator is running, especially if the

boat is not at cruising speed. Do not

overlook this under any circum-

stances.
