Stop the Engine Before Service

WARNING!
Stop the engine before doing any maintenance work.
WARNING!
Working with or approaching a running engine is a
safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hot
surfaces.
See Serpentine Belt, page 81 for important safety
information about the belt system.
WARNING!
Place warning signs stating that service is in progress
in every position from which the engine can be started.
Electrical power must disconnected before working on
the engine. This prevents an accidental engine start. It
also prevents sparks, arching, and shocks when
working on electrical systems.
To disconnect electrical power;
• remove the ignition key
• turn off the power supply to the engine at the main
switches
• lock the switches, or
tag the switches to alert others
•
• tag all starting positions
Disconnect and remove any shore power connections
to the boat.
Reverse the procedure when the maintenance work
has been completed.

Pressure Washing

NOTICE! Do not use a pressure washer on the engine,
drive, or transom shield.
High pressure spray could damage engine electrical,
cooling, and fuel components.
High pressure spray could damage the bellows, which
could lead to major drive damage. Damage to cooling
hoses, seals, and other parts is also possible.
