Page 34 Instruments and Controls Power Trim Your Volvo Penta drive is equipped with a hydraulic trim system, Power Trim, that allows you to adjust the angle of the drive with respect to the transom from the helm station. The angle of the drive effects the boat's passage through the water and other characteristics, e.g.
Page 35 ”raised” in relation to the horizontal axis. Trimming in the drive Press button – to trim the drive in, towards the transom. The bow will be ”lowered” in relation to the horizontal axis. 47705992 05-2015 © AB VOLVO PENTA...

Page 37 ”bow up” or ”bow down” positions. The stability and steering characteristics of the boat can also vary depending on the sea conditions. Contact your Volvo Penta dealer to correct these tendencies if your boat shows instability an/or self-steering tenden- cies.
Page 38 The highest permitted engine speed when in the Beach range is 1500 rpm. IMPORTANT! Make sure the drive's coolant inlet is never trimmed out of the water when operating in the beach range.. 47705992 05-2015 © AB VOLVO PENTA...
Page 39 Instruments and Controls Controls This section describes the controls Volvo Penta sells for your engine. Contact your dealer if your boat is equipped with controls other than those described here, and you feel uncertain about their function. A single-lever control operates both gearshift and throttle functions with the same lever.

Page 106 The reverse gear uses solenoid valves for electronically controlled shifting. Volvo Penta recommends that a seawater filter be fit- ted to guarantee the correct cooling water flow to the engine and reverse gear. Otherwise there is a risk of contaminants in the seawater blocking the reverse gear cooler and other cooling system components.
Page 107 P0003080 Propeller Shaft Sealing, Check If the boat is fitted with a Volvo Penta propeller shaft, the propeller shaft seals must be lubricated before launch and purged directly after launching. Purge the glands by pressing them together, at the same time as they are pressed down onto the shaft.
Page 108 The oil must have a golden brown nuance. If the oil is gray, water has entered the stern drive. In this case let P0002493 a Volvo Penta workshop carry out checks on the stern drive. 47705992 05-2015 © AB VOLVO PENTA...
