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 re, the heat sensitive
automatic head will release
the extinguishant as a vapor,
totally flooding the area in
fire-killing concentrations.
The system indicator light is
wired to the battery and is
constantly on to safeguard
your boat.
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 fteen (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 re.
REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL PACKET FOR
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION

DANGER
!
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.
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.
Ventilate boat. See Section 1.3, Carbon Monoxide,
for more details.
! DANGER
In rainy and/or cold weather, fresh air must circulate
through boat to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
See Section 1.3, Carbon Monoxide, for more
details.
