The engines on the 340 Sundancer
®
of your Sea Ray . Proper attention to and
maintenance of your engines will assure you of
many hours of pleasurable, safe boating and will
prevent unnecessary engine problems. You must,
therefore, become thoroughly familiar with all
aspects of the engine's proper operation outlined
in the Engine Operator's Manual. A general
maintenance program consists of proper lubrication,
cleaning of fuel filters, fuel lines and air filters. When
washing down, or at any other time, take care
that water does not enter the air inlets. Water
entering the air inlets when the engines are not
operating may go directly into the cylinders,
resulting in rust and possibly internal engine
damage.
The engines are warranted directly by the
engine manufacturer, not by Sea Ray

The stern drive can be damaged by impact, either
while trailering or boating. To minimize the
possibility of impact damage while trailering, keep
the stern drive raised to the trailering position.
The hydraulic system used to raise and lower the
stern drive can cushion impact and lessen damage
from head-on impacts to the stern drive from
underwater objects BUT ONLY when the boat is
moving forward. There is no protection if the
sterndrive is struck during reverse operation or from
an angle when moving forward.
If you strike a submerged object, STOP THE
ENGINE as soon as possible and examine the stern
drive unit for damage. Even if no damage is visible,
there could be internal problems or difficulty
maneuvering. If you must use the boat after impact,
run at the lowest speed possible.
