Engine Submersion
1. Remove the engine from the water as quickly as
possible.
2. Contact your local Volvo Penta dealer for service.
● Your dealer will need to drain all water from
the engine and immediately lubricate all
internal parts.
● All electrical devices must also be dried and
inspected for water damage.
3. Frequently check engine compartment for gaso-
line fumes and excessive water accumulation. In
addition, make sure that the water depth in the
bilge is kept well below the flywheel housing.
NOTICE! Delay in completing the above actions will
result in extensive engine damage.
Running Aground
Striking an Underwater Object
WARNING!
Striking an object can cause severe damage to the
boat or drive.
This damage could result in loss of steering, loss of
shift control, or possibly water entering the boat.
All of these situations could place the boat's occupants
at risk. Consider all of these factors when formulating
plans to address the impact damage.
Trim/tilt system impact protection is built in to the trim
cylinders. If an impact occurs while in forward motion,
the cylinders will allow the drive to "kick up," thereby
helping to minimize boat and drive damage.
NOTICE!
There is no impact protection in reverse. When in
reverse, operate at low RPMs to reduce the potential
for damage.
Operate at reduced speeds when in or near shallow
water, or in areas where underwater objects are known
to exist.
If you strike an object or run aground;
NOTICE!
If there are problems at any of the following steps, call
for assistance to move the boat to a location where it
can be removed from the water for inspection. Oper-
