  • Page 37: Controls

    The shift function and engine speed control are combined in one lever. The shift function can be simply disengaged so that only engine speed is affected. The Volvo Penta controls are available for top or side mounting. The control levers have an adjustable friction brake.
  • Page 38: Adjustment Of Friction Brake

    Controls Adjustment of Friction Brake The friction brake affects only engine speed adjustment. Adjust with the lever in the throttle half open position (forward/reverse). • Remove the cover over the control. For side mounted controls the lever must first be removed.
  • Page 39: Starting The Engine

    Starting the Engine Familiarize yourself with the operation of the remote control supplied with your boat, then proceed as follows. IMPORTANT! Before pumping the bilge: Frequently check bilge for leaking engine oil, transmission oil, or other fluids. Find the cause and correct it immediately. Regulations prohibit the pumping of oil into any navigable waters.
  • Page 40: Starting

    Starting the Engine Starting Caution! Do not start engine out of water unless water supply is connected to the water intake. • Move the control lever to the neutral/idle position. • Turn the ignition key one more step to the right (starter position II) to start the engine.
  • Page 41: Operation

    Operation Caution! All shifting between forward/reverse must be done at engine idle speed. Shifting at higher speeds may damage the transmission and will also be uncomfortable for those on board. If the boat has two or three engines, it is important that they are all running during maneuvers astern (rearward movement), otherwise water might get into the exhaust of the engine which is not running when the backwash catches up with the boat.
  • Page 42: Engine Protection Mode

    NOTE: Should the problem continue, contact your nearest Volvo Penta dealer and have the engine checked. Master/Slave Installation 21197 For twin unit installations both engine ECMs can be tied together electronically.
  • Page 43: How To Shift And Control Speed

    Operation How to Shift and Control Speed Twin Unit Maneuvering NOTE! If your boat is equipped with a non-Volvo Penta When leaving or approaching the dock, or for any close remote control system, ask your dealer how to properly maneuvering at slow speed, place the starboard engine in operate it.
  • Page 44: Cruising Speed

    Operating the engine at wide open throttle (WOT) should be avoided since it is both uneconomical and uncomfort- able. Volvo Penta recommends a cruising speed in the range 300 - 500 rpm lower than maximum rpm at WOT. Depending on hull type, choice of propeller, load and conditions, etc., the maximum engine speed at top speed...

  • Page 47: Maintenance Schedule

    Read the chapter Maintenance carefully before starting work. If there is any item you are not sure of, please contact your Volvo Penta dealer for more information. IMPORTANT! These service operations ‡ must be carried out by an authorized Volvo Penta Service workshop. DAILY BEFORE STARTING FIRST TIME Engine: Check oil level .
  • Page 48: Maintenance And Care

    Maintenance and Care Volvo Penta engines and transmissions are designed for maximum service life and reliability. They are built to survive in a tough marine environment, but also to cause as little environmental impact as possible. In order for your engine and transmission to operate reliably, regular maintenance is necessary.
  • Page 49: Oil Level: Checking And Topping-Up

    The engine has a pressurized lubrication system. The oil pump sucks oil from the oil pan and then pumps it to the moving parts in the engine. The oil is cooled in the oil cooler (not all models) and cleaned in the oil filter. Always use Volvo Penta original oil filters as they have an integral relief valve allowing the oil to bypass the filter even if the filter is completely clogged.
  • Page 50: Cooling System

    If overheating still occurs, return to port at low RPM to prevent excessive overheating and engine damage. See your Volvo Penta dealer for service assistance. If there is a risk of the air temperature reaching frost levels, the cooling system must be drained.
  • Page 51: Draining The Cooling System (Optional Closed Cooling System)

    Maintenance and Care Draining The Cooling System (Optional Closed Cooling System) Using a 9/16 inch wrench, loosing the lower heat ex- changer cover bolt (A) approximately three turns but do not remove. With the cover bolt loose, turn the cover plate in either direction to allow the water to drain from the heat ex- changer.
  • Page 52: Cooling System: Inhibiting

    Maintenance and Care Cooling System: Inhibiting When laying up the boat for the winter it is important that the cooling system be flushed with freshwater so that deposits do not dry and to prevent the buildup of salt crystals. Seawater in the system causes corrosion when air is introduced and can cause the buildup of salt crystals that could block the system.
  • Page 53: Fuel System

    This knocking sound while annoying also cases real damage to the engine and decreases engine life and performance. The fuel injection system on Volvo Penta engines have a device know as a knock sensor which detects engine knock and prevents engine damage. However, the use of low octane fuel will give poor performance.
  • Page 54: Fuel Cell

    Frequently check the fuel cell for signs of fuel leakage. Should signs of leakage develop, have it serviced immediately by your Volvo Penta dealer. The fuel cell has two electric fuel pumps, a filter and a vapor separator/fuel cooler tank. The low pressure fuel pump (2) draws fuel from the fuel tank through the fuel filter (1).
  • Page 55: Fuel Filter: Replacement

    NOTE! A loud whining noise at idle may occur due to a restricted fuel filter causing a noisy fuel pump. Operating the engine with a restricted filter may damage the pressure regulator or fuel pumps. See your Volvo Penta dealer if pumps make abnormal noise.
  • Page 56: Electronic Engine Control

    NOTE! The 8.1 liter engine has distributor-less ignition system and does not use a distributor cap. WARNING! To minimize the risk of fire and explosion Volvo Penta ignition components meet safety standards. The use of components that do not meet safety standards (automobile components for example) can cause a fire or explosion on board.
  • Page 57: Electrical Systems

    Maintenance and Care Electrical Systems The electrical system is 12 volts. The alternator produces 14 volts when the engine is running and has an integrated voltage regulator. The engine also has circuit breakers and fuses, in a fuse box, which cut off the current if there is an overload.
  • Page 58: Electrolytic Corrosion

    Maintenance and Care Electrolytic Corrosion To protect the propeller and underwater equipment against galvanic corrosion your boat and its propulsion unit have galvanic corrosion protection. Leakage current from the electrical system will prevent this protection system from working and may result in major damage to your boat or other boats in your vicinity.
  • Page 59: Main On/Off Power Switch

    Maintenance and Care Main ON/OFF Power Switch The main switch must never be turned off before the engine has stopped. If the circuit between the generator and the battery is cut off when the engine is running the generator can be seriously damaged. Engine electronics (fuel injection engines) may also be damaged.
  • Page 60: Cleaning

    Maintenance and Care Cleaning Keep batteries dry and clean. Oxidation or dirt on the battery and battery terminals can cause short-circuits, voltage drop and discharge, especially in damp weather. Clean the battery terminals and leads to remove oxidation using a brass brush. Tighten the cable terminals well and grease them with terminal grease or petroleum jelly.
  • Page 61: Engine Alignment

    This should be done when the drive unit is removed for lubrication during off-season storage preparations. Because of the special tools required, engine alignment must be performed by a Volvo Penta dealer. Caution! Failure to check engine alignment could result in premature failure of propeller shaft components and connectors and may damage transmission.
  • Page 62: Laying-Up & Launching

    Laying-up & Launching Before taking the boat out of the water for the winter or for out-of-season storage have an authorized Volvo Penta workshop inspect the engine and other equipment. Have any necessary repairs or service work carried out so that your boat is in top condition and ready for the next season.
  • Page 63: Launching

    Laying-up & Launching Launching q Connect the batteries. q Check oil level in the engine and transmission. Top off if required. See Technical Data for oil quality. q Paint the hull: See the following section. Note! q Immediately before launching, any sacrificial anodes must be cleaned off with emery paper.
