Operate bilge blower for at least five minutes prior to starting engine(s).
Continue to operate until underway at cruising speed.
Use manual bilge pump switch to remove any water in bilge below the
automatic switch level.
Make sniff test with your nose; this is a very effective way to detect
fumes.
Open seacocks for engine cooling water. Seacocks for washdowns,
heads, air conditioning, etc. are opened on an as needed basis.
Close engine hatch.
Move stern drive(s) to full IN position.
Move trim tab controls to the full UP position.
Put shift lever(s) in NEUTRAL position.
Move throttle lever(s) fully forward and return to idle position. Throttle
linkage and cable must move freely.
Slightly advance throttle lever forward.
Turn the ignition key switch of one engine to START position. Release
key immediately after engine starts.
If engine will not start, move throttle to FULL position once or twice to
actuate the carburetor accelerator pump.
Operate engine at approximately 1000 to 1200 RPM for a few minutes
before starting other engine (if equipped).
Repeat steps for remaining engine, if equipped.
Make sure gauges indicate normal operating ranges. If not, shut down
engine(s) immediately and determine cause.
After running engine(s) at 1000 to 1200 RPM for several minutes,
reduce throttle to idle speed until you’re ready to depart.
