Cooling System
The Cooling system is divided into a freshwater and a saltwater system. The seawater pump
sucks water into the seawater system through the sail drive unit. Seawater is then pumped
through the heat exchanger and into the exhaust elbow pipe where it is mixed with the
exhaust gases.
The freshwater system is the internal engine coolant system. It is a closed system driven by
the circulation pump. The freshwater system engine coolant in cooled in the heat exchanger
by the seawater.
A control valve for the cooling water system is located on the port side of the sail
drive and operates the same as through-hulls. A raw water filter is located on the aft
starboard side of the engine compartment.
The filter screen should be checked at
least once a day prior to engine starting
or if the boat is operated in waters with a
large amount of debris. It is not necessary to close the raw water valve to clean the
filter. Simply unscrew the top of the raw water filer, remove and clean the filter,
replace and screw the top back on.
The fresh water system fluid level should be checked daily prior to starting the engine. If
needed fill coolant from bottle marked 50/50 coolant located in stores.
Check the exhaust outlet on the port quarter of
ESCAPE
after the engine starts. Cooling
water should be exiting from the exhaust valve, indicating that the water pump for the
cooling system is operating properly.
At operating temperature, the engine temperature gauge should be between 165 – 195 °F and
75 - 90 °C.
Operating the engine at wide-open throttle should be avoided.
ESCAPE
runs best between
2,800-3,000 rpm while motoring.
Stopping the Engine
Push the stop button (bottom right button) located on the engine instrument panel to stop the
engine. After the engine stops, a warning buzzer will sound then stop. This is normal.
Fueling
The diesel fuel tank capacity is approximately 39 gal. The filler pipe is located on the
starboard transom of the yacht. The deck plate is colored red. To remove the deck plate
push up the tab and twist the cap off. You may need to use the deck plate key if the cap was
tightened to tight. Please take care not to break the tab off the plate cover.
When fueling, shut off engine and watch carefully to avoid overfilling. Use an OilSorb to
catch or clean up any spilt fuel. The OilSorbs are located in the locker cabinet under the Nav
Table.
