Starting Up The Engine
1) Turn the battery selector switch to ALL. Turn off all electronic instruments to avoid a voltage spike to the
instruments while cranking the engine.
2) Make sure that throttle control is in neutral
3) Turn the ignition key to the ON position. The engine-alarm buzzer will sound and the warning lights for
low oil pressure and charging will light up. (The alarm and warning lights will continue until the engine starts
or the key is turned off.) If the alarm does not sound, use the engine-alarm test switch on the engine
instrument panel to verify that the engine alarm is working.
4) If the engine-alarm is working correctly, continue to turn key. Release immediately when the engine
starts. If the engine does not start in 10 seconds, turn off the key. Advance the throttle slightly, wait 10
seconds, and repeat steps 3 and 4.
5) When the engine starts, the oil-pressure and charging warning light will go out and the engine-alarm
buzzer will stop. If they do not, stop the engine immediately.
6) Once the engine starts, set the throttle at about 1,000 RPM. If all engine indications are normal, warm up
the engine for 10 minutes.
7) Briefly test the operation of FORWARD and REVERSE gears at the dock with the docklines in place.
CAUTION: If the engine does not start after a pro-longed period (do not exceed 10 seconds at a time) of
cranking, be sure to drain the water-lock muffler and exhaust loop. Accumulated water may flow back into
the engine manifold and damage the engine.
IMPORTANT: Check that a flow of raw-water cooling water is exiting from the transom. If cooling water is
not being discharged, the engine will overheat: shut down the engine immediately. Check that the raw-
water strainer basket is free of blockage. Check that the raw-water engine-intake valve is open on the
Saildrive leg. If necessary, check underneath the hull to make sure that the raw-water intake on the
Saildrive is not blocked.
Shuting Down The Engine
1) Move the throttle to the IDLE (vertical) position.
2) Run the engine at IDLE long enough to allow the engine to cool down.
3) Push the stop button on the engine instrument panel until engine stops.
4) When the engine-alarm sounds, turn the key OFF.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the ignition key to shut down the engine. Do not stop the engine with the
decompression levers except in an extreme emergency. If decompression lever is used to shut down the
engine, fuel will spray out and accumulate on top of pistons, creating a danger of explosion the next time
engine is started.
Fueling
When taking on fuel, follow these safety precautions:
1) Secure your boat to the dock using bow, stern, and spring lines.
