VISUAL INSPECTION

It is important for the owner/operator to visually inspect
the complete engine assembly at regular intervals. Most
often, costly repairs can be avoided if potential problems
are corrected before there is a failure.
Inspect the complete engine assembly for obvious fuel,
oil, water or exhaust leaks. Check for loose, damaged
or missing parts. Check all hose clamps for adequate
tightness. Check the electrical system for loose or dirty
connections or damaged wiring.

1 - Engine Fluid Capacities are dependent on installation angle. DO NOT overfi ll the crankcase or
transmission. Remove excess fl uid above the "FULL" mark on the dipstick. Check oil with the boat at its
normal, level, at rest position on the water. Ensure that ballast systems (if equipped) and excess water in
the bilge have been purged. If the boat is on a trailer, the trailer must be level and adjusted to represent
the boat's normal resting state on the water. Oil capacities are approximate, and may not include capacity
needed for transmission cooler and oil lines. Refer to the Checking Fluid Levels instructions page 29 and
Changing Oils instructions page 46, of this manual, for complete instructions, important notes and Cautions
for checking engine oil levels. Always use the dipstick to determine the exact quantity of oil required. Add
the correct amount of oil to fi ll to the "FULL" mark on the oil level dipstick.
2 - Refer to the Checking Fluid Levels instructions pages 30-31 of this manual for complete instructions for
checking transmission fl uid levels. IMPORTANT: Fluid levels on the PCM 1:1 and 1.23:1 transmissions
are checked while the engine is running. All other transmission fl uid levels are checked at operating
temperature and immediately after shutdown of the engine.
3 - Fresh Water Cooling systems vary depending on half-systems, full-fresh systems, heaters, hose lengths,
etc. System should be completely purged of air and the coolant level should be within the MIN/MAX level of
the degas bottle after the engine has been ran at operating temperature and the system is allowed t to cool
down overnight. Top off as necessary. Refer to FILLING FRESH-WATER COOLING within this section.

Touch up scratches, nicks and corrosion damage to
the exterior fi nish of the engine. Spray paint may be
obtained from your local PCM Engines dealer.
Protect engine fi nish from corrosion by periodically
spraying the engine exterior fi nish with a rust
preventative oil (such as WD-40).
