Ventilation System

6.1 Cabin Ventilation

Ventilation is supplied by opening deck

hatches and port lites.

Deck Hatch

The deck hatch is supported in the open

position by an adjustable hatch adjuster. To

close, loosen hatch adjuster and lower

hatch. Secure the two cam levers on the

inside of the hatch.

Port Lites

The port lites are 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 the switch

on the helm.

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.

6.5 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 cabin deck hatches and

port windows 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

routine 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 period-

ically. These types of detection equip-

ment have a limited life span.

! CAUTION

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 operate

the opening vent unless it is clear of

all items.
