After starting your engines, check the engine exhaust outlets. Refer to the
“Thru-Hull Fittings” portion of Section 9 for the location of the engine
exhaust outlets. If water is not being ejected from the outlets, immediately
shut off the engines. Determine why seawater is not being pumped through
the system. Have the problem corrected before restarting the engines.
If an engine temperature gauge registers a higher than normal tempera-
ture, the respective cooling system may need to be repaired. If the gauge
needle moves quickly toward a high temperature, immediately shut down
the affected engine and have its cooling system inspected and repaired.
5.4 Exhaust System
The exhaust system for each engine consists of an exhaust manifold, a
muffler, and the exhaust pipes used to remove exhaust from the engine to
the atmosphere. If the exhaust system contains leaks or obstructions, or has
any other problem that prevents it from venting exhaust properly, carbon
monoxide may escape and endanger you and your passengers. Check the
exhaust system regularly for proper operation. Any change in engine noise
could indicate an exhaust system problem and should be immediately
investigated.
