Check the oil level as follows:
NOTE: Before checking the oil level
on these engines, it is necessary to let
them idle for 30 seconds
before shut-
ting the engines off. Then it is neces-
sary to wait 30 seconds before the oil
can be checked. This is required to al-
low the oil to properly level out in the
different oil chambers. Otherwise, you
will have a false oil level reading.
1. Boat must be level. Check oil level
either with boat in water or out of
water. Engines should be warm.
CAUTION: Never run engine(s) with-
out supplying water to the exhaust
cooling systems when boat is out of
water.
2. Once boat is on trailer, block the
wheels and raise the bow slightly
with the trailer jack (if so equipped)
until the bumper rail is level. Install a
garden hose to the flushing connec-
tors. Refer to FLUSHING in POST-
OPERATION CARE and follow the
procedure.
CAUTION: Failure to supply water to
the exhaust cooling systems, when
engines are out of water, may se-
verely damage engines and/or ex-
haust systems.
3. Warm-up engines then let idle for
30 seconds before stopping.
4. Stop engines.
5. Wait at least 30 seconds then pull
each dipstick out and wipe clean.
CAUTION: Never run engines longer
than 5 minutes. Drive line seals have
no cooling when boat is out of water.
6. Reinstall each dipstick, push in
completely.
7. Remove each dipstick and read oil
levels. It should be between marks.
1. Full
2. Add
3. Operating range
8. Otherwise, add oil up to have the
level between marks as required.
9. To add oil, unscrew oil cap. Place a
funnel into the opening and add the
recommended oil to the proper level.
Do not overfill.
NOTE: Every time oil is added in en-
gine, the complete procedure explained
above must be done (engine restarted,
idling for 30 seconds, 30 seconds wait-
ing time and then, rechecking the oil
level). This is required to allow the oil
to properly transfer in the different oil
chambers and to then level. Other-
wise, you will have a false oil level
reading. This must be done for each
engine.
TYPICAL
1. Oil cap
10. Properly reinstall oil cap and dipstick.

WARNING
Engine oil may be hot. Certain
components in the engine com-
partment may be very hot. Direct
contact may result in skin burn.
