LOCKMASTER HIREBOAT USER'S MANUAL
This manual is a reference for the operation of your vessel. Although you will be given thorough instructions
on board when you arrive, it is a good idea to look this over ahead of time. There also will be a copy on board
your vessel. This manual is intended to show that our Lockmasters are very user-friendly.
Engine Room - This is located under the aft deck. You will notice how clean the engine room is. This is a way
to spot trouble. An oil or coolant leak or rubber dust from a weak fan belt can send a message before trouble
becomes a problem. If you see oil in the engine room bilge, contact Mid-Lakes immediately. Before starting the
engine each morning it is very important to lift the engine hatch and take a look inside for any such message.
Coolant - Check the coolant level by looking at the plastic expansion tank located on the forward bulkhead in
the engine room. If coolant is not visible in the tank, or if it is full, contact Mid-Lakes for instructions.
Strainer – There is a strainer that catches debris in the cooling water and occasionally needs cleaning. You
should be able to see a flow of water through the strainer. If the overboard discharge of cooling water
diminishes or stops, call Mid-Lakes for instructions. Careful disassembly and reassembly are needed to
prevent severe engine damage.
