Page 28: When Sailing
When sailing The propeller can cause the propeller shaft to rotate when sailing the boat. This rotation can damage the reverse gear if it continues for an extended period because of there is not lubrication or cooling supplied when the engine is stopped. IMPORTANT! During long voyages under sail the engine must be started and run at least once every 24 hours. -
Page 29: Stopping The Engine
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. -
Page 30: Cold Weather Precautions
