NORMAL OPERATION
Before operating or maintaining the engine, review
“Safety” on page 1-1.
SENSIBLE OPERATION
The engine in your boat is built to exacting specifications
and is designed to deliver unparalleled performance
from idle speed to wide open throttle. Most skiing,
wakeboarding and surfing is done at low to moderate
RPM, and that is where we have calibrated the engines
to provide the highest torque and pulling power. Although
occasional operation higher RPM is acceptable, we
recommend for extended cruising, that the throttle be
kept at a maximum of 80%. It is also important not to
overload your boat by adding more weight and ballast
than the boat was designed to handle. Damage to the
engine that can be attributed to excessive RPM and/
or loading may not be covered by the engine’s limited
warranty.
DAILY ROUTINE
1. Open the engine cover and check the bilge for water;
pump bilge dry. Excessive amounts of water can
indicate leakage problems from thru-hull fittings,
loose or damaged hoses or hull damage. Excess
water in the bilge will damage engine components
(starters, alternators, etc.).
NOTICE
Do not allow excessive amounts of water to remain
in the bilge. Component damage due to water is not
covered by the warranty.
2. Follow the starting procedures outlined in Section 5,
Engine Starting Procedures.
