Propulsion System MONTEREY BOATS High Water Alarm Your boat is equipped with an audible high water alarm system. The alarm will sound if water in the bilge rises high enough to activate the alarm switch. The automatic switch for the alarm is mounted sig- nificantly higher than the automatic float switches for the bilge pumps.
Chapter 2: MONTEREY BOATS HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS 2.1 General The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift controls, the steering system, and the trim tab control switches. These systems provide the operator with the ability to control the direction and attitude of the boat from the helm station.
Helm Control Systems MONTEREY BOATS compartment that operates the engine throttle and transmission control lever. The controls have a single lever for each engine that operates as a gearshift and a throttle. General operation will include a position for neutral (straight up and down or slightly aft of vertical), a forward position (the 1st detent forward of neutral), and a reverse position (the 1st detent aft of neutral).
Helm Control Systems MONTEREY BOATS Make sure the throttle levers are set to the idle position. Activate the starter switch for each engine just long enough to briefly engage the starter. Do not hold the starter switch in the start position long enough to start the engine.

Fuel System MONTEREY BOATS 3.3 Diesel Engine Fuel System The diesel fuel system works much like the gas system. The main difference is the diesel system is not equipped with anti-siphon valves and there is always a fuel return line for each engine that returns unused fuel to the fuel tank.
Page 34
Fuel System MONTEREY BOATS The fuel valve is labeled “PORT” and “STBD.” The labels refer to the fuel tank the valve selects. To keep the boat properly balanced the fuel supply should be managed by switching tanks every six hours of generator operation. The generator withdrawal tube is shorter than the main engine withdrawal tubes to prevent the generator from consuming the reserve fuel.
