DO NOT START THE ENGINES UNTIL YOU ARE SURE
THERE ARE NO FUEL FUMES IN THE BILGE, OR
ENGINE COMPARTMENT, OF YOUR BOAT. FUEL
VAPORS ARE EXPLOSIVE AND MAY IGNITE DURING
ENGINE START-UP CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
3. Make sure that the engine clutch levers are in the
neutral position, straight up and down.
4. Push the throttle levers to the 1/4 open position.
5. Flip the ignition switches to the ON position.
Note: When the ignition system is activated, the engine
alarm will sound for a short period.
6. Press and hold START button and release when engine
starts. If the battery for that engine is low on voltage,
press and hold the battery parallel switch, between the
port and starboard START switches, during the
cranking operation.
If engines fail to start after 70 seconds of cranking,
cease cranking operation. Before attempting to crank
engines again, the water must be drained from the
muffler. Failure to do so could result in raw water
contamination of the engines’ cylinders.
Note: For procedure on how to drain the muffler see
Chapter 7, Storing and Winterizing, Section 7.6.2.
7. Let the engines run at idle several minutes to fully
distribute the oil inside, before leaving the slip.
8. The volt meter should read between 11 and 14.5 volts.
If the reading is below 11, or above 14.5, stop the
engines and investigate the cause before proceeding.
