period, uses a certain amount of oil to act as a lubricating and cooling agent.
The initial rate of consumption will gradually decrease until it stabilizes after
approximately 100 hours operation.
The engine oil level should be checked frequently and oil added when
necessary.
When you check the oil level, the engine should be warm. After you shut the
engine off, wait one minute to allow oil to drain down from the upper engine
cavities to the pan or you will get a false reading. Make sure the dipstick is all
the way down before you pull it out to read the oil level.
The space between the "Full" and "Add" marks represents one U.S. quart. It is
not necessary to add oil unless the level is near the "Add" mark. DO NOT
ALLOW THE OIL LEVEL TO FALL BELOW THE ADD MARK!
Checking and Adding V-Drive Oil
The oil level should be checked
after the boat has been run and
allowed to sit for a minute.
Remove the access panel in the
molded shroud that covers the V-
Drive unit. Pull out the oil level
dipstick on the V-Drive. Proper
oil level is between the "H" and
"L" (HIGH / LOW). If the oil
level is below the low mark,
unscrew the breather cap and add
SAE #30 weight engine oil.
Screw the breather cap back on and replace the dipstick. The V-drive unit
holds approximately 2 pints of oil total.
Low Oil Pressure Warning
There is a warning light on the dash pod on the ignition panel. This warning
light will stay on until the engine RPM increases to around 1200 RPM. This
RPM may vary as much as 400 RPM. Extended cruising at low RPM is not
harmful to the V-drive even though the light may stay on.
Loss of oil and / or insufficient oil level are the major causes of low oil
pressure. If the oil level in the V-Drive is too low, the oil level should
immediately be resorted. Run the boat after adding the appropriate amount of
oil and check the V-Drive for oil leaks.
If the oil level is normal and the light stays on, you should return the boat to
your Correct Craft dealer for service.
