only use on engines with an intake air heater
system such as B-series and C-series engines.
Stop Engine Light: The STOP ENGINE lamp is a
red lamp. This lamp indicates that the engine
needs to be shut down before permanent
damage occurs to the engine.
Note: The engine must be shut off as soon as
it can be shut off safely. The engine must not
be run until the fault is corrected.
This lamp is also used to flash out the fault code
number in the diagnostics mode.
Engine Maint Light: The ENGINE MAINT lamp
comes on when engine maintenance is required.
Check Engine Light: The CHECK ENGINE lamp
comes on during a nonfatal system error. The
engine can still be run, but the fault must be
corrected as soon as possible.

ENGINE lamp completes in 3 digit fault code.

operating and maintenance instructions which must
be followed. Read and understand the information
in the Owner's Manual Packet for your yacht

Your yacht has start in-gear protection. For safety's
sake and as a good habit to get into, always put the
gear selector in the NEUTRAL position and the
throttle selector in the IDLE position before starting
the engines.

HIFTS AND
The gear shift lever for each engine (twin lever
controls on port side of the control station) (See
Figure 3.8.1) has three positions: FORWARD,
NEUTRAL and REVERSE. The control lever must
be in the NEUTRAL (center) position when starting
the engine(s). A positioning indent can be felt when
the control is in exact NEUTRAL. FORWARD and
REVERSE positions should always be in full travel
extremes in either direction for a positive
engagement and minimum wear.
The throttle controls (twin lever controls on
starboard side of control station) (See Figure 3.8.1)
regulate the RPM of the engines. Periodically check
and seasonally lubricate the linkage with medium
weight oil.
NOTE: Prior to starting engines, put throttles at IDLE
and gearshifts in NEUTRAL.
!
Shift selector(s) to NEUTRAL before starting engines.
Shift only when engine is at IDLE.
Reversing at high speeds can cause flooding/
swamping due to water being pushed over the
transom.
!
Shift quickly; easing into gear can damage the
transmission.
Hydraulic controls FORWARD and REVERSE
positions should always be in full travel extremes in
either direction for positive engagement and
minimum wear.
