Volvo Penta provides an audible alarm with every
engine, however it's installation is determined by the
manufacturer of your boat. If your boat does not have
an audible alarm available, we strongly recommend
that you contact your dealer to have one installed.
Starting the Engine
1. Move the control handle to the NEUTRAL detent
position N.

no longer than ten seconds or until engine starts.
If the engine does not start, let go momentarily,
then try again.
3. As soon as engine starts, release key to I (On/
Run).
NOTICE! Never turn the key to S (Start) when the
engine is running. Start damage is possible.

ply follow the directions provided in the following sec-

Auto-crank

The engine will auto-crank when the key is moved to
the start position.
Auto-crank will allow you to release the key from the
start position and the engine will continue to crank until
the engine starts or time out. If the engine does not
start the engine will stop cranking after 7.5 seconds. It
is not necessary to hold the key until the engine starts.
