WARNING
! !
Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard. Personal
injury or death could occur.
DANGER
! !
Explosive fuel vapors can become trapped in the
lower portions of the boat. Close all hatch covers,
windows, doors, and compartments while fueling
your boat.
1. Evacuate all occupied enclosures immediately.
2. Shut down engines and generator.
3. Turn off all electrical circuits.
4. Inform the dockmaster. Have a qualified technician
check the boat immediately to determine the source of
the odor.
5. Open the boat for natural ventilation.
6. When you can no longer smell fumes, locate the
source. Dispose of fuel in a safe, approved manner.
13.2 Starting the Engines
First, turn power at the battery switches to the On posi-
tion, energizing the battery and switch panel (detailed in
the DC Electric Chapter). Make sure that the bilge blower
hoses are properly attached and that blower openings
are not blocked.
It is important to follow the procedures to prevent electric
shock.
At main electrical control panel, switch engine breaker
and helm breaker to ON.
Check that bilge pumps are working by switching breaker
to MANUAL (OFF) position. Switch ON breaker for fresh
water pump to make sure it is working.
Check out the following bridge equipment and acces-
sories:
Seawater intakes that feed propulsion equipment
Navigation Lights •

Horn
Throttle and shifter for smooth operation
Steering system ease of operation
WARNING
! !
Using a damaged or improper cord for shore power
can cause electrical shock and serious injury. Use a
cord specifically designed for shore power connec-
tion. Do not use a household extension cord.
CAUTION
! !
Water is an excellent conductor of electricity. Keep
shore power cord out of water. Do not operate any
AC device while you, or the cord, are in the water.
To prevent injury or equipment damage, keep all AC
electric system components dry.
WARNING
! !
DO NOT disconnect the shore power cord to the boat
first. You could accidentally drop the cord into the
water, which may result in electrical shock and seri-
ous personal injury.
Check engine, and gear box oil level. Refer to the engine
manual for instructions. Add oil if needed.
Check the coolant level.
13.2.1 Running the Engines
Now it is time to start the engines. This is accomplished
by the following procedures:
1. First, move the throttle to the idle position and ensure
that the shift levers are in neutral.
2. Next, turn the switch to the “On” position. You will
then hear an audible alarm. This is the oil alarm and will
cease when the engines have started and the oil pres-
sure rises. You can also check the voltage gauges to
see if you actually have enough power in the batteries to
start the engines.
3. After checking the DC gauges, then start the engine
with the start switch.
4. Once the engine starts and the oil pressure builds, the
