3.1 General
Your boat is designed to be powered with two
4-cycle outboard motors. 4-cycle outboard
engines do not use an oil injection system and
are not equipped with an oil tank. They have an
oil sump in the crankcase that must be kept full
of the type of oil recommended by the engine
manufacturer. Engine oil must be checked before
each use and changed regularly.
Each outboard motor manufacturer provides an
owner’s manual with its product. It is important
that you read the manual(s) very carefully
and become familiar with the proper care and
operation of the engines and drive systems. A
warranty registration card has been furnished with
each new engine and can be located in the engine
owner’s manual. All information requested on this
card should be filled out completely by the dealer
and purchaser and returned to the respective
engine manufacturer as soon as possible.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY ENGINE OR DRIVE
COMPONENT WITHOUT BEING TOTALLY FAMILIAR WITH
THE SAFE AND PROPER SERVICE PROCEDURES. CERTAIN
MOVING PARTS ARE EXPOSED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS
TO SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION AND
FUNCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING
DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST CONTAINS
CARBON MONOXIDE THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS.
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT IS
POTENTIALLY LETHAL.
3.2 Drive System Corrosion
Each outboard motor is a complete drive sys-
tem with the gear case being just forward of the
propeller and connected to the power head with
a vertical drive shaft. All engines require some
maintenance. Routine maintenance recom-
mended for your engine is outlined in the engine
owner’s manual. Routine maintenance is normally
the primary concern unless the boat is to be kept
in saltwater for extended periods of time. Then
Chapter 3:
the main concerns are marine growth and galvanic
corrosion.
Marine growth occurs when components are left
in the water for extended periods and can cause
poor performance or permanent damage to the
exposed components. The type of growth and how
quickly it occurs is relative to the water conditions
in your boating area. Water temperature, pollu-
tion, current, etc. can have an effect on marine
growth.
Galvanic corrosion is the corrosion process oc-
curring when different metals are submerged in
an electrolyte. Seawater is an electrolyte and
submerged engine components must be properly
protected. Outboard motors are equipped with
sacrificial anodes to prevent galvanic corrosion
problems. The anodes must be monitored and
replaced as necessary. For locations and mainte-
nance, please refer to the engine owner’s manual.
When leaving the boat in the water, tilt the motors
as high as possible. This will decrease the risk of
marine growth around the cooling inlets, propel-
ler and exhaust ports or damage from galvanic
corrosion.
