  • Page 40: Starting The Engine

    Starting the engine Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay a visual check before starting. This will help you to discover quickly if anything abnormal has happened, or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and warning dis- plays show normal values after you have started the engine.

  • Page 41: Starting Method

    Starting the engine Starting method Put the reversing gear in neutral Put the reversing gear in neutral by moving the con- trol lever(s) to neutral at all control positions. Two lever control: Also check that the engine speed lever is in the idling position. Turn the ignition on Turn the starter key to position I to switch the ignition on.

  • Page 43: Operation

    Operation Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and correct manner before you cast off on your maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and gear shifting. There is a risk that passengers could fall over, or overboard. WARNING! A rotating propeller can cause severe injury.

  • Page 44: Alarm

    If the engine does not reach the full throttle range, this could be caused by a number of factors which are noted in the “Fault tracing” chapter. If the engine speed exceeds the full throttle range, select a coar- ser pitch propeller. Ask your Volvo Penta dealer for advice.

  • Page 45: Synchronising Engine Speed

    Operation Synchronizing engine speed When driving with twin engines, both the operating economy and comfort will be increased when the engines are operating at the same engine speed (rpm). When the synchronization function is activated, the engine speed (rpm) of the starboard engine is au- tomatically adjusted to that of the port engine.
  • Page 46 This function must be enabled to permit the control panel to be changed during operation. The function can only be enabled by authorized Volvo Penta per- sonnel. Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer. 1. Press the activation button (1) to unlock the sys- tem.

  • Page 47: Operation

    Operation Operation Shifting between forward and reverse should be done at idling. Shifting at higher engine speeds can be un- comfortable for passengers and cause unnecessary stress on the stern drive/reversing gear, or cause the engine to stop. If you attempt to shift gear at an excessive engine speed, a safety function cuts in automatically, and delays shifting until engine speed has fallen to 1000 rpm.

  • Page 48: Low Speed

    Operation Lowspeed (option) The Lowspeed function is only available for engines with hydralic reverse gear. For boats with powerful engines, where the boat speed at idle is too high, Lowspeed is used to reduce boat speed by reducing propeller rpm - compared to normal at engine idle speed.

  • Page 49: Trolling

    Operation Trolling (option) The Trolling function is only available for engines with hydralic reverse gear. Trolling requires two control levers, one for throttle/ gear, and the other to control the slip function. Trolling makes it possible to use higher engine power without increasing boat speed.

  • Page 50: Propeller Shaft Brake

    Operation Propeller shaft brake In certain conditions, the propeller can make the pro- peller shaft rotate when the engine is stopped. This parasitic rotation is uncomfortable, and can damage the reversing gear since its oil pump, which is driven by the input shaft, is stationary together with the engine.

  • Page 51: Extra Equipment

    Operation Extra equipment Disengageable clutch The clutch is disengaged when the lever is in position (N) and engaged in position (F) IMPORTANT! The engine speed must not ex- ceed 800 rprm when engaging and disengaging. The clutch should be given extra attention during the first period of operation.

  • Page 52: Stopping The Engine

    Stopping the engine Allow the engine to idle (in neutral) for at least three minutes after the end of your journey. This evens out the temperatures inside the engine, and stops after-boiling. IMPORTANT! The above is particularly important if the engine has been driven at high speed and/or hea- vily loaded.

  • Page 53: Cold Weather Precautions

    Stopping the engie Cold weather precautions If the engine bay can not be kept frost-free, the sea- water system must be drained and the freshwater system coolant must have enough anti-freeze to pre- vent frost damage. Please refer to the “Seawater sys- tem”...
