NOTICE
Without sufficient cooling water, the engine, the water pump, and other components will
overheat and suffer damage. Provide a sufficient supply of water to the water inlets during
operation.
NOTICE
Air trapped in the closed cooling system can cause the engine to overheat, resulting in
engine damage. Minimize the possibility of trapping air when initially filling the closed
cooling system by positioning the boat so that the front of the engine is higher than the
rear of the engine.
NOTE: Add coolant only when the engine is at normal operating temperature.
1. Remove the fill cap from the coolant recovery bottle. Inspect the gasket and replace if
necessary.
IMPORTANT: Coolant flows at a high rate of speed in this closed cooling system. Higher
idle speeds can trap air in the system and make purge procedures more difficult. Operate
at idle when filling the system or purging air.
2. Fill to the full mark with the specified coolant.

Battery
Refer to specific instructions and warnings accompanying your battery. If this information
is not available, observe the following precautions when handling a battery.
!
WARNING
Recharging a weak battery in the boat, or using jumper cables and a booster battery to
start the engine, can cause serious injury or product damage from fire or explosion.
Remove the battery from the boat and recharge in a ventilated area away from sparks or
flames.
!
WARNING
An operating or charging battery produces gas that can ignite and explode, spraying out
sulfuric acid, which can cause severe burns. Ventilate the area around the battery and
wear protective equipment when handling or servicing batteries.
Multiple EFI Engine Battery Precautions
Alternators:
Alternators are designed to charge the battery that supplies electrical power
to the engine that the alternator is mounted on. When batteries for 2 different engines are
connected, one alternator will supply all of the charging current for both batteries. Normally,
the other engine's alternator will not be required to supply any charging current.
