A cold engine has a tendency to stall when first put into gear. Let your engines
warm up a few minutes before departing your dock or anchorage.
The engine manufacturer has established a maximum coolant tempera-
ture rating for your engines, as listed in the engine OEM information. Do
not exceed the maximum coolant temperature; doing so could damage
the engines.
5.6.3 Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge displays the pressure within the engine’s lubrica-
tion system. The oil pressure reading changes as engine speed changes.
However, a noticeable decrease (either sudden or gradual) in an engine’s
oil pressure while the boat is maintaining a constant speed may indicate
an oil pump failure, a leak in the lubrication system, or excessive engine
wear.
Each engine is equipped with a pressure alarm. The alarm sounds when
the pressure in the lubrication system decreases to a predetermined
point. The alarm also sounds when the engine is started or when the
ignition switch is “ON” and the engine is not running. In these situations,
the engine does not yet have adequate oil pressure; the alarm is silenced
as soon as the oil pressure increases to within the normal operating
range. Refer to the engine OEM information for the normal operating
range.
If the alarm sounds after the engine has been running for a while, or if
the alarm is not silenced within 15 seconds after starting the engine,
check the oil pressure gauges. If either gauge indicates abnormally low
oil pressure, immediately shut off the affected engine.
Even with the low oil pressure alarms installed, it is important that you
visually monitor both oil pressure gauges while running the engines. If a
pressure gauge indicates low oil pressure, immediately shut off the
affected engine.
The engine manufacturer has established a minimum oil pressure rating
for your engines, as listed in the engine OEM information. To avoid
damaging the engines, shut them off if the oil pressure is below the
minimum rating.
