11. Push on the top of the ignition
switches until the engines
start. Do not operate starter
for more than 10 seconds
without allowing starter to
cool for two (2) minutes. This will also allow the
batteries to recover between starting attempts.
Once engine has started and sufficient oil
pressure is achieved, alarm buzzer will stop.
Important: Check engine RPM on tachometer
as soon as engine starts. Do not allow RPM
to exceed 1,500. Move throttle lever down to
decrease RPM.
Note: Alarm will sound when:
• Engine oil pressure is too low.
• Engine temperature is too hot.
• Transmission oil is too low.
• Transmission temperature is too hot.
• Engine stalls.
• Exhaust temperature too high.
12. Check the oil pressure and
look at exhaust por t to
assure that engine is
pumping water.
13. Let the engines warm up at
idle and check for leaks. If
engine is cold, run for a short
period of time at fast idle
speed that does not exceed
1500 RPM.
14. Shut down the engines and recheck fluid levels;
top off if necessary.
NOTE: For general operation of the boat, its
