Blower - The BLOWER switch is used to activate the
bilge blower. The bilge blower is used to remove any gas
vapors that may have accumulated in the bilge or engine

Ignition systems and gauges are protected by circuit
breakers at the helm, near the ignition key on all Vista™
models. Equipment switched “ON” at the helm is pro-
tected by circuit breakers in the cabin’s AC/DC panel.
Gasoline vapors can explode resulting in injury
or death. Before starting the engine and/or gen-
erator, check engine compartment bilge for
gasoline or vapors. Operate blower for four min-
utes, and verify blower operation. ALWAYS run
the blower when the vessel is operating below
cruising speed.
