Starting Engines:

Put gear controls in neutral, throttle levers at slightly above “idle”

On “Engine Panel” of the DC Panel, flip starboard power switch to
ON for starboard engine. Buzzer will sound (low oil pressure
warning)

Push STARTING button for the starboard engine. When engine
starts, throttle back to a smooth idle. Buzzer should stop. Do not
try to start more than 30 seconds without a 2-minute “rest” period

Repeat procedure for port engine

Warm up at idle RPM

Check oil pressure for both engines: 30-90 PSI

Check for water coming out of both engine exhausts at the stern
Before Leaving the Dock:

Center the rudder

Untie mooring lines

Piloting from dock can be done at idle using forward and reverse of the twin props

Make sure engines are at idle before shifting gears. Make a slight pause at neutral before
shifting between forward and reverse
Underway:

Stow mooring lines and fenders

Keep watch for logs or debris in water

Monitor gauges

Keep engines RPM under 1300 until engines warm to 150 degrees

Normal RPM is between idle and 2200. ‘Latis’ cruises a very comfortable 8 knots @
1600 RPM with fuel consumption about 3 gals per hour. Do not exceed 2300 RPM for
more than 30 minutes – check engine temps!

Normal readings: Engine Temp 175-190 Oil Pressure 30-90 psi
