Engine Inspection
Remember your "WOBBS" every morning: Water (Coolant), Oil, Bilges (Inspect and Pump-out), Belts
and Sea Strainer.
•
Check the level of COOLANT in the expansion tank located above the forward part of the
engine. Fill to Cool Level Mark on expansion tank if necessary. Coolant must be 50/50 mix
(coolant & water). Coolant is stored in the engine room in the cubby opposite the door.
•
Check the level of OIL in the engine by checking the dipstick located on the port side of the
engine. Check the transmission oil using the white dipstick behind the transmission front
housing. Look at the etch marks on each dipstick that indicate the proper oil level.
•
DO NOT OVERFILL OIL!
Only fill if oil levels are below the ½ way mark. Please use a paper towel or oil rag, not the
dishtowels! Note the engine and the generator take Delo 400 15-40 wt and the transmission takes
Delo 400 30 wt. Extra oil is stored in the lazzarette. DO NOT USE MULTI-VISCOSITY OIL
THE TRANSMISSION OR 30 WIEGHT IN THE ENGINE OR THE GENERATOR.
•
Inspect all bilges and pump-out if necessary
•
Check the general condition of the BELTS, HOSES, and FUEL LINES.
•
Ensure the valve on each RAW WATER THRU-HULL is in the 'open' position (lever in- line
with valve). Periodically check the raw water strainers: close the seacock, open the strainer
cover, clean the strainer, and reassemble. Remember to reopen the seacock. Check your
generator fluids as well.
Start-Up
•
Before starting the engine, do your inspection. The engine should be started from the lower helm
station. A full set of engine alarm indicators is located above the lower helm and on the
flybridge panel.
•
Ensure GEARSHIFT is in 'neutral'. BE ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE WILL START IN
FORWARD OR REVERSE GEAR. PLEASE AVOID DOING THIS AS IT IS
HARMFUL TO THE ENGINE!! THROTTLE should be run up and down and then brought
almost back to the idle position. Insert the key into the IGNITION SWITCH.
•
Turn the key fully CLOCKWISE and the ENGINE DIAL PANEL above the helm will activate.
Press the BLACK STARTBUTON and release when you hear the engine start.
