Starting the engine
• Starting procedures:
See
Operators’s Manual for each engine.
Check while the engine is running at
idling
• Leakage in fuel system and cooling system.
Check pipes and hoses. See
Operators’s Manu-
al.
• Instruments and gauges are working and showing
correct values. See
Operators’s Manual.
• Oil level in reverse gear when engine has reached
operating temperature. See
Operators’s Manual.
• Equipment such as navigation lights, instruments
etc. is working correctly. See
Operators’s Manual.
Stop the engine. Check:
• Engine oil level.
• Coolant level.
• Water level in wet exhaust system.
The level shall be
well below the lower edge of
silencer inlet so that there will be no risk of water
entering into the engine exhaust system. Follow
the design limit from the silencer manufacturer.
Launching the boat
Check before launching:
• Install the batteries in their compartment and at-
tach the battery leads.
• Check that all valves at through hull fittings are
closed.
• Check that the fitted propeller has the correct
diameter and pitch before launching. Check also
that the propeller has the correct rotation (right or
left).
• Launch the boat.
Check before starting the engine:
• Open valves at through hull fittings one by one.
• Check for leakages in hull and through hull fittings.
• Open valves for external systems, keel cooling,
hot water circuit etc.
• That all drain cocks are closed and all drain plugs
are installed.
• Engine oil. The oil capacity, oil quality and viscos-
ity. See
Operators’s Manual.
• Reverse gear oil.
The oil capacity, oil quality and viscosity. See
Op-
erators’s Manual.
NOTE! Since the marks on the dipstick apply at
operating temperature with the engine idling and
the control in neutral, the correct level before
starting must be judged by experience.
• Coolant level. Filling of coolant see chapter
Cool-
ant and Filling with coolant.
• Fill up with fuel.
Fuel pre-filter:
Remove the lid and fill the filter with clean diesel
fuel. Install the lid and tighten it by hand. Wipe off
any diesel fuel which may have collected on the
heat shield. Check that the tap handle is in the
open position (all on) if a twin filter has been in-
stalled.
• Open the fuel cocks and vent the fuel system-
Oil level in hydraulic steering system or power
take off equipment (if fitted)
• Engine alignment after the boat is completed and
rigged. (Preferably after 2 hours in water.)
