4. Engine Wiring Check

Turn "ON" the Engine Start Battery On / Off Switch. (The switch is located on the
starboard face of the companionway.)
Check the voltage of the engine start batteries using the voltmeter in the 12V DC the
electrical distribution panel (meter position 1). Turn on the helm instrument breaker.
Charge the engine start battery, if necessary.
Note: Meter position 3 is not used.
Momentarily bump the engine following procedure in section 7.2 of this manual - the
engine should just turn over. DO NOT START!!
Do not start engine until launching and all associated mechanical systems have been
inspected.

5. Sling Locations

Ensure that slings are clear of any intakes, appendages, etc. before lifting.
A competent yard is critical for this procedure. Expensive damage can take place due to
operator error. Take all steps necessary to ensure that no damage will occur. Due to
variation in yard equipment, we recommend that straps are located initially with boat out
of the water and sling locations be marked. Severe injury or death could occur if proper
safety procedures are not followed.

6. Underwater surfaces

Install propeller, propeller nut (smaller), propeller jamb nut (larger) and cotter pin.
Check for sacrificial zincs on trim tabs, rudder, and transom.
If needed, a shaft zinc (not provided) should be located approx. 4" to 6" forward of the strut.
Care must be taken to "seat" it properly to avoid it sliding aft against the strut.
Apply bottom paint.
Do not sand away epoxy primer in-way-of bow thruster tunnel.
