This device is designed to shut down the engine in the event that the operator is thrown away
from the helm station. The operator should always wear the engine stop switch lanyard while the
boat is in motion. Pulling the lanyard from the control will stop the engine. If the engine will not
crank properly, the lanyard may not be properly attached to the engine stop switch.

Your new EdgeWater
3 CC is designed to be powered by dual outboard motors only. Most 2-
cycle outboards currently use an automatic system to mix the oil with the gasoline before the
engine uses it. If equipped with 2-cycle engines, there will be oil tanks located inside the
mechanical access space and the oil fills will be located on the motorwell side of the aft deck.
Make sure the oil tanks always have a sufficient amount of the recommended 2-cycle oil for your
cruise, plus some reserve. 4-cycle engines require oil be maintained in the crankcase. Always
check the crankcase oil level before each day’s run.

Each manufacturer provides manuals designed to assist you in the proper operation and
maintenance of your new engine(s). Follow their guidance and schedules for proper operation of
your new engine(s). With a modern outboard there is little to do as long as proper maintenance is
performed, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. If the boat is to be kept in
saltwater for an extended period, electrolysis and marine growth can become a problem. When
leaving your boat in salt water overnight or for an extended period, tilt the engine(s) as high out of
the water as possible. This will decrease the possibility of marine growth on the outside of the
engine(s), as well as reduce the potential of marine growth compromising the cooling water inlets
in the lower unit(s), which can cause overheating.
