STOPPING THE ENGINES:
• Push red stop button.
• After engine shuts down turn off the key.
GETTING UNDERWAY / SHIFTING:
•
Always have throttle (red) in idle position before shifting
.
• Hesitate momentarily at neutral position when shifting from forward to reverse and
vice versa.
• Once underway stow fenders and ensure dock lines are secured
WARNING: Never shift the transmission without first throttling the engine back, failure
to throttle back could result in damage to the transmission.
ENGINE OVERHEATING:
1. Slow down and shut down the engine that has over heated.
2. If coolant reservoir is at proper level, check engine sea strainer found forward on
both engines.
3. Before removing the top of sea strainer close thru hull valve to the sea
strainer.
4. Slowly unscrew the wing nuts on the top of the sea strainer remove top and pull
basket out for better access. Clean debris in the strainer basket.
5. Once the sea strainer is free of debris, replace basket, secure top and tighten down
the wing nuts.
6.
Open thru hull valve to the sea strainer slowly and check for leakage.
If
leakage occurs close thru hull value and repeat step 6 and reopen thru hull valve.
7. After a check of engine compartments and engine oil levels restart engine.
8. Check for exhaust water flow.
Drifting debris is extremely common and some of these are large enough to do major damage
to moving boats. Always use extreme caution while underway and be constantly alert for
drifting debris and charted and uncharted rocks just below the surface.
“Dead Heads”, large
water soaked logs floating just below the surface are quite common in this area.
