Diesel engines use a large 
quantity

 of air for combustion. 

The engines of the 50z gets this air 
thru grills under the cockpit 
coaming, both port and starboard. 
Be sure that these aren’t blocked 
with gear on deck when underway.

The EVC Control Panel allows the operator  to perform settings and choose 
information displayed on the engine LCD Display screen below. See Volvo 
Operator’s Manual for settings and options.
