In Case of Emergency
Despite regular maintenance according to the mainte-
nance schedule and perfect operation, faults may
occur which must be attended to before the boat can
travel further. This chapter contains tips for rectifying
some of the possible faults. There are safety functions
which are activated when certain faults occur, to pro-
tect the engine.
The following can occur:
• Engine can not be started.
• Gear in neutral and engine speed is limited to 1500
rpm, no steering.
• The engine stops.
If fault occurs, acknowlege any alarm and take the rec-
ommended measures. Please refer to chapter Fault
Code Register page 45.

Running Aground

If the boat has been run aground or into an object in a
way that may have damaged any of the propulsion
units or propellers, the boat must be run (if possible) at
reduced speed or towed to the nearest harbor. Take
the boat out of the water and let an authorized Volvo
Penta workshop inspect the propulsion units and pro-
pellers. Undetected damage could lead to serious pro-
pulsion unit damage.
