ACCESS TO THE ENGINE :
Access to the engine via the companionway panel.
Lateral trap doors give access to the principal instruments.
ENGINE SEA VALVE
Seawater cooling is essential in operating the engine. The strainer must be cleaned with
a brush whenever the ship is docked and kept clean and free from clogging or anti-fou-
ling paint.
The sea valve must be open before starting the engine, otherwise the exhaust and the
engine may incur severe damage.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is good practice to check if water is expelled together with the exhaust gases,
immediately after starting the engine; otherwise, stop the engine immediately
and check the cooling water intake and filter system.
It’s not necessary to shut the valve after each use of the engine; on the other hand,
this is mandatory if the boat remains unmanned for a long period of time.
ENGINE OPERATION:
Before starting the engine:
- Open the fuel valve,
- Open the engine cooling valve,
- Actuate the battery master switch to energize the electrical system,
- Before starting the engine, ensure the control lever is in neutral.
- Refer to the engine manufacter ’s brochure before starting up the engine.
