  • Page 42: Steering System Operation

    Operation Steering System Operation The steering system for your Volvo Penta sterndrive is operated by a steering cable connected to the helm. Restricting movement of the steering cable will limit or stop the steering system’s hydraulic assist. Do not interfere with or restrict steering cable movement through the last 90° of bend at the engine. Do not use cable retainers, clamps, or tie straps.
  • Page 43: Power Trim And Tilt Operation

    Operation Power Trim and Tilt Operation Trimming and tilting the drive is done from a control switch mounted on the remote control (2, 4, 5) or by using the switches on the dash (shown below).

    The pumps will operate only when the engine is crank- ing or running. If a pump does not function, check the fuses and replace them if necessary. See your Volvo Penta dealer if further service is required. NOTICE! Do not run engine out of fuel or run the elec- tric fuel pumps dry more than 20 seconds.
  • Page 76: Fuel Filter

    All models have a fuel filter (1) in the fuel line before the fuel pump. NOTICE! Volvo Penta EFI engines require a special marine filter with a 10 micron filtering capa- bility. Do not substitute any other type of fil- ter.
  • Page 77: Electrical System

    A deep cycle battery, while it may have enough cold cranking amps (CCA), will cause problems with EFI engines. The correct starting battery for all Volvo Penta EFI engines is a standard marine battery with a minimum of 650 CCA and a minimum of 135 minutes reserve capacity.
  • Page 78 Maintenance • The battery used to start the engine must be a 12-volt, heavy duty marine battery, with ade- quate amperage for the engine model installed on your boat. Refer to the section entitled Tech- nical Data on page 115 for additional informa- tion.

  • Page 84: Engine Overheating

    NOTICE! Do not remove the thermostat from the en- gine as the engine is likely to overheat. While Volvo Penta provides an audible alarm with eve- ry engine, its installation is determined by the manu- facturer of your boat. If your boat does not have an audible alarm available, we strongly recommend that you contact your dealer to have one installed.

    NOTICE! The following steps are very important in protecting your engine from damage in freezing conditions. If unsure of how to perform any of the following steps, see your Volvo Penta dealer for a complete end-of- season/winterization service. Freeze damage to the engine package is not covered by your Volvo Penta limited warranty.
  • Page 88: Draining The Closed Cooling System

    Failure to maintain adequate anti- freeze may result in engine damage during freezing temperatures.
