IMPORTANT: To avoid excessive exhaust aeration of the seawater, do not operate the engines over 1500 RPM when the
vessel is at rest.
12. If you must operate the engines above 1500 RPM, put the vessel underway with a light throttle load until the engines reach
normal operating temperature.
Stopping the Engine Using the VIP SmartStart Switch
You may desire to stop an engine from the engine room or under certain circumstances the engine control system may not be
able to automatically stop an engine. The engines can be stopped using the "SMARTSTART" (stop/start) switch on the VIP for
each engine.
1. Move the ERC handles to the neutral position.
2. Locate the VIP for each engine in the engine room.
3. Inside the VIP for triple or quad installations, turn the engine selector switch to the desired engine or engines.
4. When the engines are running, press and release the start/stop switch or the green "SMARTSTART" (stop/start) switch for
each engine you want to stop.
