NOTE: Starter overheating and damage can occur from excessive cranking.
CAUTION
Prolonged cranking intervals without the engine starting can result in filling the exhaust
system attached to the engine with sea water coolant. This may happen because sea
water pump is pumping sea water through the sea water cooling system during crank-
ing. This sea water can enter the engine's cylinders by way of the exhaust manifold
once the exhaust system fills. Prevent this from happening by closing the sea water
supply thru-hull shutoff, drain the exhaust muffler, and correct the cause for the exces-
sive engine cranking needed to obtain a start. Engine damage resulting from this type
of sea water entry is not a warrantable issue; the owner/operator should keep this in
mind.
