    Chapter 1: PROPULSION SYSTEM General The Wellcraft 360 Coastal is designed to be powered with twin diesel inboard engines. Each manufacturer of the vari- ous marine power components provides an owner’s informa- tion manual with their product. It is important that you read the manuals very carefully and become familiar with the proper care and operation of the engines and drive system.

The impeller and water pump cannot run dry for more than a few seconds. Inboard engines use a thru-hull water intake scoop and strainer for each engine.

  • Page 23: Oil Change Pump (Optional)

    The following steps must be followed exactly to engage the emergency pump out system: • Turn off the engines and enter the engine room. • Assess the flow of water into the bilge and confirm that the bilge pumps are not able to keep up with the water entering the bilge.

  • Page 24: Propellers

    Another valve in each engine oil drain hose provides addi- tional protection from oil leaks and damaged hoses in the oil change system. These valves must be opened when chang- ing the oil and closed when the service is complete. The valves are located on the inboard stringers next to each en- gine.
