If your vessel is equipped with a power ventilation system, what should you do after fueling or before starting the engine?

Leave it off until underway
Turn it on for at least four minutes
Check fuel levels only
Immediately start the engine

The correct answer is: Turn it on for at least four minutes

After fueling or before starting the engine, it is important to turn on the power ventilation system for at least four minutes. This is to ensure that any potential fuel vapors that may have built up in the engine compartment are properly ventilated before starting the engine. Leaving the system off until underway (option A) would not adequately address the issue of fuel vapors. Checking fuel levels only (option C) is not sufficient as it does not address the ventilation of the engine compartment. Immediately starting the engine (option D) without running the power ventilation system first could potentially lead to a buildup of harmful fuel vapors in the engine compartment.
