4. Engine start procedures
You have two engines on your vessel, one to operate the starboard prop and
one for port. You must switch on both engines to manoeuvre the vessel.
Start one engine and then start the other.
•
Make sure engines are in neutral.
•
Turn on the engine ignition switches (an audible alarm should come on)
and then turn the key further to the right to switch the engine on.
•
Once the engines are running check you have water coming out of the
exhausts.
•
To stop the engines press the stop buttons until the engines stop.
Should you hear an engine alarm during operation, check which light
is on and immediately shut down the engine-

All our yacht engines run with diesel fuel. There is a diesel filler cap
on the transom which is clearly marked “DIESEL”

WATER IN HERE.
Fuel change over valve
The fuel change over valve is located in the starboard aft
cabin below the bunk. You can change over tanks whilst the
engines are running, simply push down or pull up the lever
to change the tank.
