that does not contain alcohol.
13. Check all fluid, oil and coolant levels on engine and
drive train.
14. Check engine compartment and bilge for nesting ani-
mals. Clean as necessary. Check for any damage or
evidence of fluid leaks.
15. Remove tape from flame arrestor. Check alignment
between the output flange on the transmission and
the prop shaft flange. If the maximum feeler gauge
that can slip between the flange faces at any point is
0.003" (0.08 mm), the unit is properly aligned. If a
thicker gauge can be inserted at any point, the engine
must be readjusted until proper alignment is obtained.

16. Review boat manufacturers starting procedure.
17. Start the engine. If you experience a no-start condi-
tion, do not crank the engine for more than 15 sec-
onds without allowing a two minute cool-down peri-
od. When the engine starts, keep a close watch on
the gauge readings. Check all of the hoses and drain
plugs for leaks. Listen for abnormal noises. Run the
engine long enough to reach normal operating tem-
perature and re-inspect for leaks. If no leaks are
found, the boat is ready for operation.
