Maintenance - Engine Coolant
Each MV10 is shipped from Ilmor Marine pre-filled with the proper amount of coolant.
Once the engine and overflow tank are mounted in the boat, check to be sure the heat
exchanger is filled completely. Add a 50/50 coolant mixture to the overflow tank until the
tank is filled halfway. A sight tube allows quick visual as to the coolant level.
Coolant Type
Only use coolant approved by
I
lmor, as listed in “
Engine Specifications
” section.
A 50/50 solution of coolant and distilled water is suggested for optimal performance, to
prevent corrosion within the engine, and preserve the water pump seals.
Capacity
Each engine requires two gallons of antifreeze and two gallons of water or 4 gallons total
to completely fill the cooling system.
Maintenance - Power Steering Fluid
WARNING
Do not start the engine unless there is adequate power steering fluid in the power
steering pump reservoir as severe damage to the pumping element could occur. Great
care must be taken when bleeding the power steering system to prevent running the
pump dry. Should the steering pump run for any length of time without fluid, loss of
power steering and/or permanent pump damage can result.
Only use power steering approved by
I
lmor, as listed in “
Engine Specifications
” section.
