can become damaged as it surges and could cause
catastrophic damage to the voltage regulator within
the alternator. It is important to keep the ground
wires, stud and nut clean and tight and check it often.

Limited Warranty.
5. OVERLOADED: Never use the alternator to bring
a dead or undercharged battery to a fully charged
condition. The excessive current draw can overheat
the diodes and cause them to fail. If you have a
dead battery, use a battery charger instead. If
you experience a battery that is constantly being
discharged, look for the cause, such as bad battery
or aftermarket accessories, or defective electrically
operated accessories. Find the cause of the
discharge before permanent damage is done.

General Lubrication
STARTER
Apply a dab of multipurpose grease onto the starter
bendix every month or 50 hours of operation. Your starter
has been sprayed with lubrication internally to extend its
longevity. Corrosion, rust and water intrusion will not be
covered under Indmar's Limited Warranty.
SHIFT AND THROTTLE CABLES
Spray exposed throttle cable and shift cable ends with a
corrosion protectant and lubricant. Check boat owner's
manual for recommendations. Work the cable back and
forth, and then spray to completely lubricate. In highly
corrosive locations, a complete cable lubrication system
may be purchased through your Indmar dealer.

Accessory Drive
The serpentine drive belt on your engine drives the
coolant circulation pumps and the alternator. Tension
is automatically applied to the belt by a spring loaded
tensioner so there are no adjustments required. The
belt should be checked periodically for damage or wear.
Figures 7.8 and 7.9 show the correct routing of the belt
in the event that it needs to be replaced.
