V-DRIVE ENGINES

It is important that you read the engine manual carefully
and become completely familiar with the operation as
well as required maintenance procedures on the engines
and related propulsion systems.
BEFORE STARTING V- DRIVE
ENGINES
Before starting the engines follow the general instruc-
tions in chapter 6 (Vessel Operation). As a quick review
follow these guidelines:
1. Make sure the blowers have been running for at least 4
minutes. Open the engine hatch and sniff for fuel va-
pors. If vapors are present shut down all systems until
the cause is found and corrected.
2. Remove any loose canvas and store in a dry location.
3. Shut and secure all hatches and doors.
4. Remove any debris from the engine water strainers be-
fore turning on the seacock handle.
5. Ensure both engine seacocks are in the "open" posi-
tion. In the open position the handle is in line with the
incoming hose not perpendicular to it. See the illustra-
tion.
6. Make sure the swim ladder is secured in its folding
position.
7. Check fuel supply levels.
8. Turn all battery switches to the "on"position.
9. Turn on the VHF and listen for the latest weather.
