Ventilation System

6.1 Berth Ventilation

Ventilation is supplied by opening the port

lite, opening the windshield vent window or

using the optional air conditioning system.

Port Lite

The port lite is secured by adjustable dogs.

The dogs should be adjusted so they are

tight enough to seal the window in the

closed position, but not so tight that they are

difficult to latch. The dogs are adjusted by

turning a screw. The screw increases or

decreases the pressure on each dog. The

screen must be removed prior to closing the

port light to ensure a water resistant seal.

6.2 Windshield Ventilation

The windshield vent is opened by moving

the latch bar upward until the latch dogs

clear the windshield frame. Make sure to

fully engage the latches when in the fully

opened or fully closed positions.

6.3 Carbon Monoxide and

Proper Ventilation

Read "Carbon Monoxide" in the Safety Sec-

tion. It contains important information on car-

bon monoxide and the carbon monoxide

detector.

6.4 Bilge Compartment

Ventilation

Air flow into the bilge compartment is sup-

plied by four vents on either side of the cock-

pit, under the gunwale boards.

Maintenance

• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch

assemblies with a light oil. And, clean

and coat gasket materials with silicone to

help keep them pliable.

• The opening port windows and door

slides are made of acrylic plastic. Acrylic

can scratch easily. DO NOT use a dry

cloth or glass cleaning solutions; use a

soft cloth, mild soap, and water for rou-

tine cleaning. Solvents and products

containing ammonia can permanently

damage acrylic. Refer to Routine Main-

tenance for more information on the

proper maintenance for acrylic.

• Many manufacturers of carbon monox-

ide detectors offer a testing and recertifi-

cation program. Contact the manufac-

turer of your carbon monoxide detector

and have it tested and recertified periodi-

cally. These types of detection equip-

ment have a limited life span.

NOTICE

Operating the vent panel when the

opening is obstructed may cause the

glass to twist resulting in glass break-

age or injury to people. Do not open

the vent unless it is clear of all items.
