• Once the boat is in the water, visually check for water leaking at the stuffing
box. This stuffing box must drip a moderate amount of water to properly
lubricate the drive shaft. If the water is rapidly coming in, pull the boat out
and have the dealer adjust the stuffing box. There is a detailed instruction for
this in the boat care section. (This stuffing box has left-hand threads)
• Check to make sure there are no ropes, gear bags, arms/legs near the belts and
pulleys of the engine. Severe injury can result by becoming entangled in the
belts of the engine while it is running. Make sure the boat is deep enough in
the water to supply the water intake with water to cool the engine. Move the
throttle into the neutral position. This is in the "straight up" position.
WARNING: Before you start your engine, always ventilate the engine
compartment by running the blower for four (4) minutes to remove any
fuel fumes that may be in the bilge. This is especially important after
repairing or refueling to check for fuel spills or leaks before starting the
engine.
• Close the engine hatch.
• Start the engine.
CAUTION: Do not continue to operate the starter for more than 30
seconds without pausing to allow the starter motor to cool off for five (5)
minutes. This allows the battery to recover between starting attempts.
WARNING: In order to prevent personal injury to you or others, whenever
the engine is running the engine hatch must be closed. Never operate the
engine with the engine hatch open or while someone is in the area of an open
engine hatch. Never open the engine hatch unless the engine is turned off
and rotating parts are stationary and remain in a stationary position.
Rotating machinery can cause injury and even death if an accident should
occur. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL WORK ON THE ENGINE BE
DONE BY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
During the warm up period, scan the gauges for correct operation of all
the systems:
• Oil pressure 35- 80 PSI (Approx.) at 2000 RPM
• Cooling water flow and water temperature 140 -170 degrees
• Cooling water temperature for fresh water systems: 170 - 210 Degrees
• Volts should rise to around 13 - 14 volts or higher
• Idle RPM (600 - 700) in gear
CAUTION: Do not operate at high RPM's in neutral. Do not shift into
forward or reverse at engine speeds above idle RPM's.
CAUTION: Do not operate engine without cooling water flowing through
the water pump or the neoprene water pump impeller will become
damaged, and severe engine damage may result.
