8.3 Engine Compartment Ventilation
All Pursuit inboard/outboard boats are equipped with engine com-
partment ventilation. The ventilation system is designed to meet or
exceed the requirements of the United States Coast Guard in effect
at the time of manufacture.
Free Air System
A flow of air into the engine compartment is provided by vents
located on the engine box. Exhaust vents, located on either side of
the engine hatch, provide a flow of air out of the engine compart-
ment. The exhaust vents have ducts that reach to the lower part of
the engine compartment. This provides adequate air movement
while operating at or near cruise speeds.
Forced Ventilation
All Pursuit inboard/outboard boats are equipped with electric blowers that provide ventilation to
the engine compartment prior to start up and while operating below cruise speed. The blowers
should be operated for five (5) minutes prior to the operation of the engine or any electrical
accessory. When the boat is operated below cruise speed, there may not be enough air pressure
at the vents to provide adequate ventilation in the engine compartment. Therefore, it is extremely
important to operate the blowers whenever the boat is not on plane. Always check the blower
exhaust vents for airflow when the blower is operating. If the blowers are running and there is little
or no airflow at the exhaust vents, then the system is not operating properly and should be serviced.
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, OPERATE THE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT BLOWER FOR FIVE (5) MINUTES, OPEN THE ENGINE HATCH,
INSPECT THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR THE ODOR
OF GASOLINE VAPORS. ALWAYS OPERATE THE BLOWER WHILE THE ENGINES ARE
AT IDLE AND BELOW CRUISE SPEED. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THIS PRO-
CEDURE BE OVERLOOKED.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENTILATE THE BOAT WHILE THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING
MAY PERMIT CARBON MONOXIDE TO ACCUMULATE WITHIN THE CABIN.. CARBON
MONOXIDE IS A COLORLESS AND ODORLESS GAS THAT IS LETHAL WHEN INHALED.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PROPERLY VENTILATE THE BOAT AND TO AVOID CAR-
BON MONOXIDE FROM ACCUMULATING IN THE BOAT WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS RUN-
NING.
