When you turn the key switch to the furthest right
position you may feel a small resistance which is the
spring loaded key switch position. This is normal.
Ensure that your remote control is in the idle neu-
tral position before beginning the starter cranking
process!
Crank the starter over until the engine starts.
When the engine starts leave go of the key and it
will spring back to the ignition or “on” position for
normal running.
If the starter continues to crank and the engine does
not start turn the key back to the “off” position and
let the starter cool down between start attempts.
Note to avoid possible starter damage do not crank the
starter over more than 20 seconds on each start cycle.
Note that if a flooding condition should exist put the
throttle in full throttle neutral gear position and crank
the starter. If it does not start try it again in the same
advanced neutral throttle position. When it starts re-
turn the throttle to the upright neutral idle position. If
it does not start return to the neutral idle position and
let it set a few minutes before re-cranking the starter.
Never continuously pump the throttle.
After Starting
1. Allow the engines to idle for a short period as
they warm up. Never race a cold engine!
2. Check the chart plotter and pay particular atten-
tion to volts, oil pressure and temperature display
panel functions as they are key indicators of a proper
performing engine. Also, check that no alarms are
sounding, warning lights are flashing and no fault
codes display on screens. See information display.
3. Open the engine compartment and listen to the
engine for unusual sounds.
4. Inspect the fuel, exhaust, and engine circulation
system for leaks.
5. Visually check the entire sump (bilge) for any
unusual conditions ie; oil spillage, high water.
6. Visually check your passengers to ensure they
are wearing the proper PFD (personal flotation de-
vice), are sitting in a designated seat, boat load is
balanced, and the operator has uninterrupted field
of vision before shifting the remote control.
7. Make sure that all passengers have been informed
on using the various seat hand holds should the sea
conditions deteriorate.
