Engine Operating Instructions
Gasoline Requirements
Marine Power calibrates their engines EXCEPT LT4 for use with
high quality lead-free gasoline with a minimum octane rating of
87. Additionally, Marine Power uses octane scaling calibrations
where applicable. Octane scaling enables the engine to “learn
up” if a higher octane fuel (such as 92) is purchased. There is a
noticeable performance difference with higher octane fuels. If the
boat is used in heavily loaded conditions (i.e. heavily ballasted to
produce large wakes for surfing or wakeboarding) Marine Power
recommends the use of premium fuel (93 octane minimum). See
LT4 Warning.
The use of gasoline containing ethanol is very prevalent. Marine
Power engines are calibrated to operate on fuel containing up to
10% ethanol (E10). Do not use fuel with ethanol content higher
than 10% (E10).
Ethanol blended fuel acts as a solvent and will absorb moisture.
Excessive moisture can cause lean conditions, vapor lock and
shortened fuel life. The solvent characteristic can cause gum,
sludge and other particles to be loosened up and carried through
the fuel system.
Marine Power recommends the use of fuel stabilizer such as
Sta-Bil. Fuel stabilizer is recommended for winter storage and
should also be used if you expect to use less than a full tank of
fuel over a 2-3 week period of time. Follow the label instructions
whenever adding fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank.
Oil Requirements
Marine Power recommends the following:
Marine Power recommends that the engine oil be changed ev-
ery 100 hours of engine operation, but no less frequently than
once each calendar year, and that the engine oil filter be replaced
every time the engine oil is changed.
Starting Engine EFI
DO NOT operate engine without water being supplied
to raw water pump as pump impeller and engine will
be damaged.
Operate the bilge blower for five (5) minutes. If not equipped
with a bilge blower, open engine hatch and leave open before
starting the engine to remove any explosive vapors from the
engine compartment.
Place shift lever in the neutral position.
If this is the initial start on a new engine turn the ignition
(key) switch to the on (run) position (first detent on key switch)
and wait for 10 seconds. Turn the ignition off and repeat this
procedure 2-3 times or until you hear the fuel pump prime. Then
turn the key to the start (crank) position (2nd detent). It is not
necessary to hold the key switch in this position as the Marine
Power “SMART START” will take over. If the fuel pump is primed
the engine should start within 3-5 seconds. After the engine starts,
idle speed (RPM) will be controlled by the ECM. The idle RPM will
be elevated following a cold start until the engine warms to its
normal operating temperature.
Check for water flowing through the engine cooling
system. Water should mix with the engine exhaust. In all cases,
your positive indicator is exhaust water flow.
Check the boat’s instrument panel for any service warnings or
alarms.
Check operation of throttle and shift controls.
Check fuel tank fill level before leaving the trailer or dock.
Engine Break-In/25 Hour Inspection
To insure the maximum life of your Marine Power Engine, the
following engine break-in guidelines are recommended.
Marine Power considers the first ten (10) hours of engine
operation to be the break-in period.
During this break-in period:
Do not operate the engine at wide-open throttle.
