Recommendation
If possible, you should go on the first trial run with your contractual party (see
check list for handover). The same goes for running the engine. Your inboard
engine is an essential, sometimes even a vital part of the equipment of your
yacht:
∼
it is an untiring workhorse,
∼
it is irreplaceable for port maneuvers,
∼
it emits heat,
∼
it allows you to enter a port even it the yacht is calmed,
∼
it can become a true help in case of emergency.
For these reasons the engine should always be maintained carefully (see:
operational instructions of the manufacturer).
Starting the engine
∼
Close the power circuit using the master switch.
∼
Step on the gas slowly with the throttle control and check if gear and
propulsion are in neutral position.
∼
Initiate contact for the engine with the key or the press button.
∼
Press the start button at the engine panel after a few seconds.
∼
If the engine does not catch, do not try for longer than 10 seconds. Wait
for 30 seconds and try again.
∼
Do not run the engine too high.
∼
Check the control lights.
∼
Check to see if the cooling water circuit is working.
∼
During engine operation the main switch must not be switched off to
avoid damage.

Maneuvering with the engine
∼
Before starting, check to see if there are any lines, chains or ropes in
the water so that the propeller does not get caught.
∼
Make sure that the 220 V shore connection has been disconnected.
∼
Make sure that there are no influences of (tidal) current or wind you had
not taken into count.
∼
Do not raise sail before you have left the port and are in clear waters.
∼
Please bear in mind that the yacht always needs some speed to steer it.
Adequate space is also required in the direction you want to move in.
∼
You should test and train the necessary operations in sheltered waters
first.
∼
Make yourself familiar with the turning radius for both the engine going
ahead and astern. Learning about the propeller efficiency will be a great
help when berthing or casting off.
