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. If you do not see water being pumped out, turn the affected
engine(s) off. Identify and correct 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.
5. Make sure all navigation systems are operating properly.
6. Periodically perform a visual inspection of the engine room while
underway.
