The ignition switch is spring activated. Release the key as soon as the
engine starts. Failure to do so may damage the starter.
If the engine does not start within 10 seconds, release the key, then try
starting the engine again. Do not hold the ignition key in the START
position for more than 10 seconds.
4. Place one hand on the shift/throttle lever of the engine you are
starting. With the other hand, turn the ignition key.
The oil pressure alarm sounds for the first few seconds after the
engine has started. This is normal. The alarm is silenced as soon as
the oil pressure increases to within the normal operating range.
If the engine is cold when it starts, it may run rough. Advance its
shift/throttle lever slightly to keep it running.
5. When the engine is idling smoothly, start the other engine in the
same manner as the first.
5.8.4 After the Engines Have Started
1. Check the engine gauges. Make sure all readings are within the
normal range.
2. Verify that water is being pumped through each engine’s exhaust
outlet, located near the transom. Refer to 9.7.3 Thru-Hull Fittings
for the exact location of the exhaust outlets. If you do not see water
being pumped out, turn the affected engine(s) off. Identify and cor-
rect the cause of the problem before restarting the engine(s).
The engine room contains moving, hot machinery. Keep your hands, feet
and body out of the engine room while one or both engines are operating.
3. Look into the engine room and visually inspect the fuel system hoses
and exhaust hoses. If you see a leak or suspect that anything is out of
order, shut off the engines and investigate. Identify and correct the
cause of any problem before restarting the engines.
4. Let the engines warm up until the needles on the temperature
gauges begin moving up.
