SAfETY EQUIPMENT
11.1 General
Your boat and inboard engines have been equipped
with safety equipment designed to enhance the
safe operation of the boat and to meet U.S. Coast
Guard safety standards. The Coast Guard or state,
county, and municipal law enforcement agencies
require certain additional accessory safety equip-
ment on each boat. This equipment varies accord-
ing to length and type of boat and type of propul-
sion. The accessory equipment typically required
by the Coast Guard is described in this chapter.
Some local laws require additional equipment. It
is important to obtain “Federal Requirements And
Safety Tips for Recreational Boats,” published by
the Coast Guard, and copies of state and local
laws, to make sure you have the required equip-
ment for your boating area.
Your boat is equipped with engine alarms, an
automatic fire extinguishing system and cabin
monitoring equipment. These systems are de-
signed to increase your boating safety by alerting
you to potentially serious problems in the primary
power systems, the engine compartment, and the
cabin. Alarm systems are not intended to lessen
or replace good maintenance and precruise pro-
cedures.
This chapter also describes safety related equip-
ment that could be installed on your boat. This
equipment will vary depending on the type of
engines and other options installed by you or
your dealer.
11.2 Engine Alarms
Your boat is equipped with engine alarms that
monitor water temperature and oil pressure. The
alarms are equipped with a buzzer and/or a light
located in the helm. The alarm will sound if the
water temperature reaches 205 degrees F. or the
oil pressure drops below 6 P.S.I.
If there is a problem with one of these systems,
it will sound an alarm until the problem is found
and resolved.
If the alarms sound:
• Immediately throttle the engines back to
idle.
• Shift the transmissions to neutral.
• Monitor the engine gauges to determine the
cause of the problem.
• If necessary, shut off the engines and
investigate until the cause of the problem is
found.
11.3 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch
incorporated into it. This device prohibits the
engines from being started while the shift lever
is in any position other than the neutral position.
If the engines will not start, slight movement of
the shift levers may be necessary to locate the
neutral position and disengage the safety cutout
switch. Control or cable adjustments may be re
-
quired to correct this condition should it persist.
See your Monterey dealer for necessary control
and cable adjustments. Please refer to the Helm
Control Systems chapter for more information on
the neutral safety switch.
