Controls This chapter describes the instrument panels sold by Volvo Penta for your engine. If your boat is equipped with controls which are not described here and you feel uncertain about the function, please contact the dealer you purchased the boat from.
Page 45
Controls Friction brake The control has a friction brake which can be adjusted as necessary to provide lighter or heavier lever action. Adjusting the friction brake: 1. Stop the engine. 2. Mover the control lever forwards so that the groove in the hub of the control lever is accessible.
Page 46
Controls Two lever control. Mechanical Operation The two lever control has separate levers for shifting (1) and speed control (2). The control has a neutral position switch that only allows the engine to be started with the reversing gear in neutral. Black lever (1): N = Neutral position.
Power Trim Your Volvo Penta drive is equipped with a hydraulic trim system, Power Trim, with which you can change the angle of the drive in relation to the transom. This will affect the running position of the boat and make it possible to optimize boat handling in various conditions.
Page 48
Power Trim Trim ranges In order to utilize the information gained from the trim instrument, it is essential to know about the dif- ferent trim ranges and their uses. There are three trim ranges: Trim range The trim range is used to obtain the best comfort at all running speeds (from start to maximum speed).
Page 49
Power Trim Analogue trim instrument This instrument shows the current position of the drive. Beach range is marked with an orange zone and lift range with a red zone. 1. Trim range. 2. Beach range (orange). 3. Lift range (red).
Starting the engine Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay a visual check before starting. This will help you to discover quickly if anything abnormal has happened, or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and warning dis- plays show normal values after you have started the engine.
Starting the engine Starting method Put the reverse gear/stern drive in neutral Put the reverse gear in neutral by moving the control lever(s) to neutral at all control positions. Two lever control: Also check that the engine speed lever is in the idling position. Turn the ignition on Turn the starter key to position I to switch the ignition on.
Page 52
Starting the engine Start the engine Start using the ignition switch Turn the key to position III. Release the key and let it key spring back to position I as soon as the engine has started. Starting with the starter button Press the starter button.
Operation Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and correct manner before you cast off on your maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and gear shifting. There is a risk that passengers could fall over, or overboard. WARNING! A rotating propeller can cause severe injury.
“Fault tracing” chapter. If the engine speed exceeds the full throttle range, select a coarser pitch propeller. Ask your Volvo Penta dealer for advice. Synchronizing engine speed When driving with twin engines, both the operating eco- nomy and comfort can be increased when the engines are operating at the same engine speed (rpm).
This function must be enabled to permit the control panel to be changed during operation. The function can only be enabled by authorized Volvo Penta personnel. Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer. 1. Press the activation button (1) to unlock the system.
Operation Operation Shifting between forward and reverse should be done at idling. Shifting at higher engine speeds can be uncom- fortable for passengers and cause unnecessary stress on the stern drive/reversing gear, or cause the engine to stop. If you attempt to shift gear at an excessive engine speed, a safety function cuts in automatically, and delays shifting until engine speed has fallen to 1500 rpm.
Page 57
“bow-up” or “bow- down” positions. Boat stability and steering torque can also vary due to changing water conditions. If you experience boat instability and/or high ste- ering torque, see your Volvo Penta dealer to cor- rect these conditions.
Page 58
Operation At planing speed Trim the drive out to the operating position which pro- vides the most stable and comfortable running. If the boat has twin motors the drives can be trimmed with different angles to compensate for side winds and to a certain extent compensate for uneven load- ing on one side of the boat or the other.
If this is the case or if other damage has occurred to the drive it must be inspected at an autho- rized Volvo Penta workshop. If only the propeller has been damaged it must be replaced. Launch the boat and test drive.
Stopping the engine The engine should be run for a few minutes at idle (in neutral) before turning it off. This will avoid boiling and even out the temperature. This is especially important if the engine has been operated at high engine speeds and loads.
Stopping the engine Cold weather precautions To prevent freezing damage, the seawater system must be drained and the freshwater system coolant must have sufficient antifreeze protection. Refer to the cooling system section in chapter “Maintenance”. IMPORTANT! A poorly charged battery may burst as a result of freezing.
Maintenance schedule General information Your Volvo Penta engine and its equipment are designed for high reliability and long life. They are built to withstand a marine environment, but also to have the smallest possible environmental impact. If given preventive maintenance, according to the maintenance schedule, and if Volvo Penta original spares are used, these quali- ties are retained and unnecessary malfunctions can be avoided.

IMPORTANT! Do not fill the oil above the MAX level. NOTE! Between MAX and MIN there are apporx. 1,5 liter (0,4 US gals) for D4 and 3,5 liter ( 0,9 US gals) for D6. Changing engine oil Always observe the recommended oil change interval.
Page 71
Maintenance. Lubrication system Changing oil filter and bypass filter. Change the oil filter and bypass filter during each oil change. Remember to hand the old filters in to a re-cycling station. WARNING! Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause burns. 1.
The coolant should contain ethylene glycol of a good quality with a suitable chemical consistency for an ade- quate protection of the engine. Using anti-corrosion aditive exclusively is not permitted in Volvo Penta’s engines. Never use water by itself as coolant.
Page 73
(18°F). (Using 60 % glycol lowers the freezing point to -54 °C (65°F)). Never mix more than 60 % concen- trate (Volvo Penta Coolant) in the cooling liquid, this will give reduced cooling effect and increase the risk of overheating, and will give reduced freezing protec- tion.
Page 74
Maintenance. Freshwater system Checking coolant level WARNING! Do not open the engine coolant system filler cap when the engine is still hot ex- cept in an emergency. Steam or hot coolant may spray out. Turn the filler cap slowly counter clockwise and let any pressure escape from the system before remov- ing the cap.
Seawater system The seawater system is the boat’s external cooling system. On engines with drives, the seawater pump draws in water via the drive, through the control system oil cooler to the seawater pump, after which the water passes the seawater filter before being pumped through the fuel cooler, intercooler, engine oil cooler and heat exchanger.
Page 76
Maintenance. Seawater system Cleaning seawater filter. WARNING! Risk for water penetration. Screw off cover (1) and remove seal plate (2). Lift out and clean the insert (3). IMPORTANT! If the boat is used in water that has a lot of contaminants, seaweed etc. the filter must be checked more frequently than indicated in the maintenance schedule.
Page 77
Maintenance. Seawater system Checking/Changing sacrificial anodes WARNING! Risk of water entering. Close the se- awater cock before starting work on the seawater system. 1. Close the seawater cock. 2. Drain the seawater as described in ”Draining the seawater system”. 3. Remove the sacrificial anodes in the heat exchan- ger and the intercooler.
Page 78
Maintenance. Seawater system Seawater system. Cleaning and inhibiting To prevent the build up of deposits and salt crystals in the seawater system it must be flushed with freshwa- ter. When the boat is laid up it must also be inhibited. WARNING! Risk of water penetration.
Fuel system The engine fuel system is a so-called common rail-system. The advantage of the common rail-system is that the engine control unit controls the timing and fuel amount, this mean better emission control and a smooth running engine. All work on the engine common rail-system must be carried out at an authorized workshop. Use only the recom- mended grade of fuel: See the chapter “Technical Data”.
Page 80
Maintenance. Fuel system Bleeding the fuel system The fuel system must be bled e.g. after changing fuel filter, if the fuel tank has been run dry and after long stops. WARNING! Never detach the pressure pipes. 1. Attach a transparent hose to the air vent valve (1). Lead the hose to a suitable receptacle to avoid spillage.
Page 81
Maintenance. Fuel system Fuel pre-filter. Changing filter insert Close fuel cock at the fuel tank. Position a container under the fuel filter. Remove the cover by slackening off screw (1). Replace insert and reinstall cover. Open fuel cock. Vent fuel system.
Electrical system The engine is equipped with a two-pole system electrical system which means that the voltage (minus) is re- turned directly from the starter motor minus terminal with the battery negative lead. Individual components on the system return voltage to the starter motor minus terminal via separate cables. WARNING! Always stop the engine and break the current using the main switches before working on the electrical system.
Page 83
Also check that all electrical connections are dry and free of oxidation and that there are no loose connec- tions. If necessary, spray these connections with a water-repellent spray (Volvo Penta Universal oil). Battery. Maintenance WARNING! Risk of fire and explosion. Never allow an open flame or electric sparks near the...
Page 84
Maintenance: Electrical system Battery. Charging WARNING! Danger of explosion! The batteries give off hydrogen gas during charging which when mixed with air can form an explosive gas – oxyhydrogen A short-circuit, naked flame or spark can cause a large explosion. Ensure that the ventilation is good.
Page 85
Maintenance: Electrical system Electrical installations Leakage current from the electrical system can be caused by incorrect installation of electrical equip- ment. Leakage current can knock out the galvanic protection of components such as the drive, propel- ler, propeller shaft, rudder stock and keel and cause damage by electrolytic corrosion.
Page 86
All equipment connected to the auxiliary battery should have separate switches. To simultaneously charge two independent battery circuits, fit a Volvo Penta charge distributor (ac- cessory) to the regular generator.
The reverse gears is equipped with solenoid valves for electronically controlled shifting. IMPORTANT! Volvo Penta recommends the installation of a seawater filter to guarantee the proper cool- ant water flow to the engine and reverse gear. Contaminants in the seawater will otherwise foul the reverse gear radiator and other cooling system components.
Page 88
Maintenance. Reverse gear Propeller shaft seal. Checking If the boat has a Volvo Penta shaft the shaft seal must be vented and lubricated directly after launching. Vent the bushing by pressing it together while pressing down on the shaft until water appears. Then press in approx.
Drive Your drive is protected against galvanic corrosion. This protection consists of two-three layers of paint, sacrificial anodes and ground braids. The ground braids maintain a connection between the different components of the drive. A broken connection can result in the rapid corrosion of an individual component even though the protec- tion is otherwise effective.
Page 90
Dismantle the propeller and remove the oil drain plug (4) together with its gasket from the gear housing and allow the oil to run out. If the oil is discolored, contact an authorised Volvo Penta service centre. Refit the plug with gasket. A damaged gasket must al- ways be replaced with a new one.
Page 91
The drive must be dismantled from the suspension fork in order to change the joint bellows. Dismantling the drive requires knowledge and special tools. Contact your Volvo Penta service centre. Checking exhaust bellows Check the condition of the exhaust bellows once a year.
The leak must be located and rectified immediately. Contact your Volvo Penta service centre for repair. The steering system is filled with ATF and does not normally require changing. As long as the fluid is red in colour and does not contain any visible contami- nants, it need not be changed.
Page 93
Before removing, clean and check carefully how hoses are routed and connected. Faulty routing or dirt in the hydraulic system can negatively affect steering, and at worst steer- ing can be lost altogether. Please contact your nearest authorized Volvo Penta workshop for as- sistance.

finer grade for painted surfaces. Wash off using thin- ners or similar. Any pores in the surface should be filled and sanded down. Paint using Volvo Penta ori- ginal primer and topcoat. Let the paint dry. A further two coats of Volvo Penta anti-fouling primer should then be applied.
In case of emergency Despite regular maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and perfect operation, it may occur that a fault occurs which must be attended to before the boat can travel further. This chapter contains tips for rectifying some of the possible faults. There are safety functions which are activated when certain faults occur, to protect the engine.
In case of emergency Emergency shifting If a fault occurs which prevents the drive or the revers gear from being operated (shifted) with the control lever, it is possible to shift manually, using the des- cription below. WARNING! In emergency shifting, the unit is locked in forwards operation.
In case of emergency Emergency trimming If a fault occurs which prevents the drive from being timmed with the trim panel, it is possible to trim manu- ally, using the description below. WARNING! In emergency triming, the automa- tic stop will not work. The drive can be trimmed outside the trim ranges, this can damage boat or drive.
In case of emergency Water in fuel Draining the fuel filter If the light on the lamp panel comes on, there is toomuch water in the water separator on the fuel filter. Proceed as follows to rectify this: 1. Stop the engine and take the starter key out of the starter switch.
A number of symptoms and possible causes for engine disturbances are described in the table below. If faults or hitches arise that you cannot solve alone, you must always get in touch with your Volvo Penta dealer. WARNING! Read the safety directions for maintenance and service in the chapter “Safety information” be- fore starting work.
In case of emergency Diagnostic function The diagnostic function monitors and checks that the engine, stern drive/reversing gear and EVC system func- tion normally. The diagnostic function has the following tasks: Discover and localize malfunctions Notify that malfunctions have been discovered Give advice in fault finding Protect the engine and ensure continued operation when serious malfunctions are discovered.
In case of emergency Malfunction message engine and EVC- system If the diagnostic function discovers a malfunction, it warns the driver by starting to flash the indicator on the diagnostic button, a pop-up window will appear in the display and the buzzer will not sound. To acknowledge the alarm, press any key on the dis- play .
In case of emergency Alarm list The alarm list screen contain all previously acknow- ledged alarms (black text on grey background) and new unacknowledged alarms (grey text on black back- ground) as shown. - Alarm index number (in order of receipt). - Which engine the alarm is from (Port, Stbd).
In case of emergency Fault codes Before the fault codes can be read out enter Service mode by pressing button D for about 5 sec. The D indication gives a steady light and indicator on alarm panel flashes with a orange/red light. The codes are flashed out on the D button indication.
In case of emergency Erasing fault codes Any fault codes in the diagnostic function are auto- matically erased every time the starter key is turned to the stop position (S). NOTE! Stop the engine and check that the ignition key(s) is(are) in position 0 in all control positions. When system voltage is switched on again, the diag- nostic function checks to see whether there are any faults in the EVC system.
