Check the oil using the dipstick (1). The oil level
23
shall be within the marks on the dipstick. CAU-
TION! The dipstick must not be screwed in when
checking the level. Replenish with oil as required
through the filler hole (2). Use the same type of
oil that is already in the reverse gear. Refer to
"Technical Data".
OIL LEVEL IN THE HYDRAULIC
PUMP, POWER TRIM
Trim in the drive as far as possible. Remove the
24
level plug and check that the level reaches up to
the hole. Replenish as required through the hole.
Refer to Technical Data for the choice of oil. Ob-
serve strict cleanliness so that dirt is not drawn in
by the oil.
If the system has been drained, the system must
be trimmed in and out while replenishing.

ditions, ATF oil may be used.

The electrolyte level shall be 5–10 mm (0.2–0.4")
above the cell plates. Top up with distilled water
as required.
CAUTION! Some maintenance-free batter-
ies are supplied with special instructions.
These instructions must be complied with.
BELT TENSION
Correct belt tension is a necessity if the alternator
is to provide full power. The belt tension is proper-
ly tensioned when it is possible to depress it 10
mm (0.4") with thumb pressure applied between
the pulleys.
A badly worn or split belt must be replaced. See
"Checking the drive belt".

25
consumed.

tact, it is important for the contact surface
on the drive to be cleaned before a new
zinc ring is fitted.
Replace the zinc plate under the transom cover
26
when about half has been consumed.
WARNING! To achieve good galvanic con-
tact, it is essential for the contact surface
on the transom cover to be cleaned before
a new zinc plate is fitted.
