Engines

There are a variety of engine options you can select from for your boat. When you take possession of
your boat, you receive the appropriate engine manuals for your boat. As the owner/operator, it is your
responsibility to familiarize yourself with the performance specifications and maintenance requirements
of your engine.
Because of the various engine options available, this manual does not discuss any one particular engine.
However, there are common components associated with each engine which are discussed in this
section.

Ignition Switches

There is one ignition switch for each engine. The switches are located on the helm control panel.
See

(Figure 3-11).

Diesel Engines have an ignition key and you will press the START/STOP buttons to crank the engine.
If the batteries become degraded (low on power), you can electrically link the batteries together to
provide additional cranking power for the engines. This is accomplished by engaging the Parallel Start
Switch located on the helm. To operate hold the switch in the START position and crank the engine
until it is started.
