Chapter 8:
VENTILATION SYSTEM
8.1 Cabin Ventilation
Ventilation to the cabin area is provided by a deck hatch.
Deck Hatch
The deck hatch is supported in the open position by an adjustable hatch adjuster. 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.
8.2 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.
8.3 Bilge Compartment Ventilation
All 2670 Cuddy Console models are equipped with ventilation for the bilge compartment. A flow of air into
the bilge compartment is provided by four vents located on either side of the cockpit, under the gunwale boards.
This provides adequate air movement in the bilge compartment.
8.4 Maintenance
• Periodically lubricate all hinges and latch assemblies with a light oil.
• Periodically 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 glass. Acrylic glass scratches
easily. Never use a dry cloth or glass cleaning solutions on acrylic glass . Use a soft cloth and mild soap
and water for routine cleaning. Solvents and products containing ammonia can permanently damage
acrylic glass. Please refer to the Routine Maintenance chapter for more information on the proper
maintenance for acrylic plastic glass.
• Many manufacturers of carbon monoxide detectors offer a testing and recertification program. We
recommend that you contact the manufacturer of your carbon monoxide detector and have it tested and
recertified periodically.
