Figure 3.1 – Pre-Start Check Points
1. Check the boat hull and/or garboard drain plug. Make
sure they are installed and secure.
2. Carefully inspect engine compartment for signs of
fluid leakage and proper ventilation. Unlike autos,
marine engine compartments require positive
ventilation and air re-circulation to ensure that
flammable and explosive vapors are safely dispersed
in an environmentally sound manner.
3. Make sure all engine drain plugs are installed. Refer
to Section 8, Storage and Winter Lay-Up. There are
several drain locations:
Block
– The 6.2L engine block is cooled by anti-
freeze coolant. Coolant is drained from the block only
when the required coolant change interval is reached.
Exhaust
– The drain hose must be connected.
Fresh Water Cooling System
– The heat exchanger
has a single drainage point that can be accessed
by removing the blue drain plug. Refer to Section 8,
Storage and Winter Lay-up.
