AFTER STARTING
THE ENGINE
As before starting, an unexpected or strong odor can be the first sign of leakage. Both exhaust and fuel
leaks have distinctive odors and should never be ignored. If either is present, do not start the engine until
the source of the odor has been determined and corrected.
Because gasoline is highly flammable and vapors are more
dangerous than the actual liquid fuel, never introduce flame,
spark or electrical ignition into an unknown source of a fuel
emission or leak. Always verify the source of and correct any
leakages prior to use of the boat.
Battery voltage and fuel levels are registered on a gauge. (See
Instrument Panel and Gauges
information
elsewhere in this Owner’s Manual for details.)
In verifying the battery charge, look for a reading around 13 volts, but no lower than 10.5 volts or
higher than 14.5 volts. Erratic readings are usually a sign of low voltage or loose connection(s). Even if the
reading appears correct, if there were any symptoms of voltage insufficiency or error during a previous
outing, check with an authorized Axis dealer before undertaking another outing. You do not want to
become stranded with a dead battery away from the dock.
The current boat models are equipped with a low-voltage alarm. Even with a fully charged battery
on-board, it is possible to discharge so much that the boat becomes disabled. If running the stereo
components with the engine OFF, periodically check the voltage reading to ascertain how much has been
discharged. To avoid difficulties in re-starting the engine, the system will shut off the stereo and sound an
alarm if the voltage level falls below 10.5 volts. The alarm will continue for approximately two (2) minutes
to allow everyone out of the water around the transom, and the boat operator to restart the engine to
allow the engine alternator to recharge the battery.
As noted above, do not attempt to jump-start a dead battery. This is not only dangerous but puts
undue stress on the boat engine’s alternator, which may cause it to fail. This is not covered under
warranty.
Attaching the wrong battery cable or using jumper cables can
result in damage to electrical components on the boat. Such
damage is not covered under warranty.
Fuel levels should be noted prior to an outing. Axis recommends starting all outings with a full tank
and returning to shore to refuel whenever the fuel readings drop into the one-quarter (1/4) range as
falling lower can result in engine issues. (See
Fueling
information in the
Get Ready
section of this Owner’s
Manual.) Failure to pay attention to the fuel level can result in the boat running out of fuel and leaving the
boat stranded. Axis does not pay for towing in instances of fuel miscalculation.
AFTER
THE OUTING
Look for signs of leaks or anything abnormal. It’s a simple thing, but often the simplest, quick look can
pinpoint an issue before it becomes a problem.
