qualified marine mechanic before using your boat. If the engine starts in gear
during this test, immediately move the control lever to the neutral position and
turn the engine off.
IN SOME SITUATIONS, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY START
THE ENGINE IN GEAR WITH THE THROTTLE ABOVE IDLE IF THE NEUTRAL
SAFETY SWITCH IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE
BOAT TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND COULD RE-
SULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT, OR INJURY TO PASSENGERS. AL-
WAYS TEST THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH PERIODICALLY AND CORRECT ANY PROB-
LEMS BEFORE USING THE BOAT.
2.5 Engine Stop Switch
Your Denali is equipped with a engine stop switch and
lanyard. When the lanyard is pulled, it will engage the
switch and shut off the engine. We strongly recommend
that the lanyard be attached to the driver whenever the
engine is running. If the engine will not start, it could be
because the lanyard is not properly inserted into the
engine stop switch. Always make sure the lanyard is
properly attached to the engine stop switch before attempting to start the engine.
Please refer to the engine owner's manual for additional information on the engine stop switch.
2.6 Outdrive Power Tilt and Trim
All inboard/outboard drive systems have a tilt and trim feature for the outdrive. This allows
the operator to control the position of the outdrive from the helm. Moving the outdrive closer
to the boat transom is called trimming “in” or “down.” Moving the outdrive further away from
the boat transom is called trimming “out” or “up.” In most cases, the boat will run best with
the drive unit adjusted so the hull will run at a 3 to 5 degree angle to the water.
The term “trim” generally refers to the adjustment of the outdrive within the first 20
o
range
of travel. This is indicated by the green LED lights in the Volvo diesel trim gauge. This is
the range used while operating your boat on plane. The term “tilt” is generally used when
referring to adjusting the outdrive further up for shallow water operation or trailering. This
is indicated by the red LED lights in the Volvo diesel trim gauge. For
information on the proper use and maintenance of the power tilt and trim, please
refer to the engine owner's manual.
