Chapter 3: PROPULSION SYSTEM 3.1 General Your boat is designed to be powered with two 4-cycle outboard motors. 4-cycle outboard engines do not use an oil injection system and are not equipped with an oil tank. They have an oil sump in the crankcase that must be kept full of the type of oil recommended by the engine manufacturer.
Propulsion System 3.5 Propellers CAUTION The propellers convert the engine’s power into thrust. They come in a variety of styles, diameters DO NOT PAINT OUTBOARD MOTORS WITH ANTIFOULING and pitches. The propellers that will best suit the PAINTS DESIGNED FOR BOAT HULLS. MANY OF THESE PAINTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINES.
Page 37
Propulsion System The following are some other factors to con- sider: • You should be sure the load conditions are those normally experienced. If the boat ran in the required RPM range when it was new and you have not added any additional gear or heavy equipment and have not damaged the propellers, there is a good chance the propel- lers are not the problem.
The tachometers display the speed of the engines in serious costly damage. revolutions per minute (RPM). This speed is not the boat speed or necessarily the speed of the propeller. Most Crevalle boats are equipped with Yamaha engines and a Command Link Plus LCD multifunc- ®...

Propulsion System Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge indicates the temperature of the engine cooling system. A sudden increase in the temperature could signal a blocked cooling passage or a water pump malfunction. CAUTION CONTINUED OPERATION OF AN OVERHEATED ENGINE CAN RESULT IN ENGINE SEIZURE. IF AN UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURE READING OCCURS, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY.
Page 40
Propulsion System Depth Gauge (Optional) The depth gauge indicates the depth of the water below the bottom of the boat. Compass All boats are equipped with a compass on the top of the instrument panel. The compass cannot be adjusted accurately at the factory as it must be compensated for the influence of the electrical equipment and electronics unique to your boat.
Chapter 4: HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS 4.1 General The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift controls, 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 • Trolling feature that allows the operator to increase the engine speed in 50 RPM increments while operating at trolling speeds between 600 - 1000 RPM. • Station transfer that allows the operator to transfer control from one station to another with the push of a button on boats with two helm stations.
Helm Control Systems Notice: Some outboard control systems are equipped with a computer controlled start feature that will keep the starter engaged until the engine starts if the neutral safety switch fails and al- lows the starter to engage. The starter should not engage for any engine. Re- peat this test with the shift levers in reverse and the engine throttles at idle.
Helm Control Systems CAUTION SOME AUTOPILOTS HAVE ENGINE POSITION SENSORS THAT ARE MOUNTED TO THE HYDRAULIC STEERING CYLINDER. WITH THESE AUTOPILOTS, THE ENGINE POSITION SENSOR BRACKET COULD HIT THE TRANSOM WHEN THE ENGINES ARE TILTED TO THE FULL UP POSITION AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE RIGGING, THE AUTOPILOT OR THE TRANSOM.
Helm Control Systems 4.6 Steering System Power Assist Hydraulic Steering Power assisted steering systems on twin engine boats without the joystick option are hydraulic and comprised of two hydraulic circuits: a manual system, which is the control element, and a hydraulic power assist pump, which is the working element.
Page 46
Helm Control Systems Steering angles and steering wheel resistance at specific engine speeds are programed into the system at the factory and are not adjustable. The steering on each motor is totally indepen- dent with full redundancy built into the system. If the steering fails on one engine, the other unit will continue to operate.
Helm Control Systems 4.7 Joystick Controls A joystick control system is an option on some engine installations with electronic steering. The joystick can only be used at slow speeds. It is engaged by moving the shift and throttle controls to the neutral position and pressing the ON/OFF button on the base of the joystick control or the keypad on the main engine controls.
Helm Control Systems 4.8 Trim Tabs The trim tabs are mounted to the hull below the swim platform and integrated transom engine mounting system. A dual rocker switch is used to control the trim tabs. The switch controls bow up and down movements.
Helm Control Systems When running at high speeds be sure that the If your boat is equipped with an after market tabs are in the full “UP” position. Only enough tower, the procedure for checking the steering trim plane action should be used to compensate fluid level and adding fluid may be different.

Helm Control Systems Engine Lubrication Please refer to the engine owner’s manual for maintenance and lubrication instructions for the outboard engines. Trim Tab Maintenance The trim tab actuators are electric and require no routine maintenance except to periodically inspect the tab actuators for corrosion or marine growth and test the system to ensure that it is operating properly.
Chapter 5: FUEL SYSTEM 5.1 Gasoline Fuel Systems General The Gasoline fuel system used in Crevalle boats is designed to meet or exceed the emission control standards of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the requirements of the U.S.
Fuel System The fuel fill cap is opened by turning the cap counter clockwise until it can be removed. After refueling, replace the fill cap and tighten until it clicks, indicating that the cap has been properly closed and the fill system is sealed. Wash the areas around the fuel fill if any fuel splashed on the deck or hull during filling operations.

Raw Water System 8.3 Raw Water System Operation A high pressure pump, controlled by a pressure sensor, is activated by the Wash Pump switch in the helm switch panel. When activated, the pres- sure switch will automatically control the pump that supplies the raw water hose spray nozzle.
Raw Water System 8.4 Livewells Seawater is provided to each livewell by 12 volt cir- culation pumps. The pumps are designed to carry a constant flow of water to the livewells. The pumps do not have a pressure sensor and are activated by the livewell pump switches in the helm switch panel.
Raw Water System 8.5 Raw Water System Maintenance The following items should be done routinely to help maintain your raw water system: • Check hoses, particularly the seawater supply lines, for signs of deterioration. Tighten fittings or replace deteriorated hoses and components as necessary.
Page 83
Raw Water System Cleaning the Sea Chest Seawater Strainer The primary supply hose fitting for the sea chest is equipped with a strainer that should checked periodically and cleaned when necessary. It is built into the thru-hull fitting scoop and can be serviced when the boat is out of the water.
Chapter 9: DRAINAGE SYSTEM 9.1 General All water is drained by gravity to overboard thru- hull fittings located in the hull above the water line. It is important to check the drain system fre- quently to ensure it is free flowing and that the hoses on the thru-hull fittings are secure and not leaking.
Drainage Systems Console Lounge Seat Storage Compartment The storage compartment below the forward console lounge seat is drained overboard by gravity through a fitting in the hull side. Forward Below Deck Storage Compartment The forward storage compartment below the cockpit sole is drained by gravity to the forward bilge.

It activates the pump and an alarm if the bilge water level rises above the normal operating range of the bilge pump automatic switches.
Drainage Systems 9.4 Hardtop Drains There is a hole drilled in the leg bases on hardtop frame to prevent water from being trapped within the legs. Additional drain holes are drilled in the tubing to drain other areas as required. Always make sure the drain holes are clear when the boat is laid up for the winter.
Chapter 10: VENTILATION SYSTEM 10.1 Head Compartment Ventilation Cabin Door Ventilation to the cabin is provided by opening the cabin door and windows. The cabin door is located in the port side of the center console.
