    ENGINE SPEED Max speed: MD 11 C, MD 1 7C 41.7 rev/sec (2500 rpm) For choice of correct propeller, refer to the Volvo Penta propeller diagram. Check the engine speed with normal load in the boat. In order to utilize the maximum performance of the engine, an engine speed as high as possible should be chosen but not, however, higher than 41.7 rev/sec (2500 rpm).

  • Page 6: Preparations Before Starting

    GENERAL INFORMATION SAFETY EQUIPMENT Irrespective of whether the boat is being used for long cruises or short bathing trips, the boat should be equipped with the safety equipment listed below. It can, of course, be supplemented further according to personal tastes. Investigate at regular intervals to ensure that there is safety equipment on board and that it is in working order.

  • Page 7: Running Instructions

    RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS START THE ENGINE Switch on the main switch. Start the engine room fan (if fitted) and let it run several minutes before starting the engine. Open the cock for cooling water intake. Disengage the engine speed control from the gear changing as follows: Move the control lever to neutral, push in the red disengaging button, and move the lever slightly forwards.

  • Page 8: Running

    Reduce to idle and check that the engine is running smoothly. Engage the control lever for gear-charging as follows: Push in the red disengaging button when the lever is in neutral. Release the button. The control lever can now be used both for gear changing and engine speed.
  • Page 9 RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS Switch off the main switch. NOTE. This switch must never be switched off before engine has stopped. Close the fuel and cooling water cocks if the boat is not going to be used for some time. Check for leakage before leaving the boat. In cold weather and whenever there is a risk of freezing, the cooling water must be drained from the engine and reverse gear.

    CHECKS AND SERVICE CHECK DAILY BEFORE STARTING OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE Each day before starting, check that the oil level is between the marks on the dipstick. Top up with oil if necessary, through the oil filler hole. NOTE. Do not top up above the max mark.

  • Page 15: Service Every 50 Hours Of Operation

    CHECKS AND SERVICE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL IN BATTERY The level should be between 5-10 mm (3/16"-3/8") above the cell plates in the battery. If necessary top up with distilled water. NOTE. Observe great care when doing this, as the electrolyte is corrosive, and the gas which is formed is explosive. BELT TENSION Correct belt tensioning is necessary for full alternator output.

  • Page 16: Valve Clearance

    CHECKS AND SERVICE On the MD11C the plug together with the oil strainer must first be removed. NOTE. When removing the strainer the gasket must be checked. Re-tighten well. Fill oil to correct level. Refer to "Technical Data" regarding choice of oil. NOTE.

  • Page 41 Publ, no 3386 10. 77 Supplement to instruction book MD5A, MD7A, MD1 1C, MD17C Folding propellers are being used more and more on sailboats. There are several makes to choose from for conventional installation. The most important advantage with a folding propeller is that it gives less current resistance during sailing but when the engine is running it has a somewhat lower effect especially when manoeuvering astern.
