2.Automatic Fire Extinguisher System (Option)
!DANGER
The 23 Outlaw may be equipped with an automatic fire extinguisher system located aft of the engine on the transom. In the event of a fire, the heat sensitive automatic head will release the extinguishant as a vapor, totally flooding the area in
Automatic Fire Extinguisher
( Fig. 7.2.1)
If the cockpit is totally enclosed with canvas covers and curtains while engine is running or boat is moving, carbon monoxide will build up and cause death or permanent injury.
Do not use the rear (aft) curtain or camper top while engine is running or boat is moving.
!DANGER
Exhaust fumes from engines contain deadly carbon monoxide gas (CO). Boats enclosed with canvas or with poor ventilation are most likely to collect fumes.
CO sickness symptoms include headache, nausea and dizziness. Do not mistake these symptoms for sea sickness.
The indicator light, located on the dash, indicates to the helmsman when the unit has discharged. Under normal circumstances, the charge indicator light is lit. If the unit discharges, the light will go out.
WHEN ACTUATION OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ENGINE, POWERED VENTILATION, ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND EXTINGUISH ALL SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE FIRE AND FLASHBACK COULD OCCUR.
Allow the exinguishant to "soak" the compartment for at least fifteen (15) minutes and for hot metals or fuels to cool before cautiously inspecting for cause of damage. Have portable extinguishers at hand and ready. Do not breathe fumes or vapors caused by the fire.
