• ACCESS TO THE ENGINE
The engine access is through the rear apron.
• ENGINE WATER VALVE
The water inlet valves are essential for the operation of the engine.
These valves must be open before the engine is started (risk of ra-
pid deterioration of the exhaust pipe and of major damage to the en-
gine).
- Keep the strainer under the hull as clean as possible.
- Brush the strainer when the boat is careened.
- Do not cover the strainer with antifouling paint.
ADVICE: Get used to checking immediately after starting the engine
if water is expelled with the exhaust gases.
If water does not flow out:
- Stop the engine immediately.
- Check that the valve is open.
Close the water inlet valve if the boat is unattended for long.
Inspect and clean the water filter regularly.
