Starting, Shifting, and Stopping
Important Information—SmartStart
IMPORTANT: This Cummins MerCruiser Diesel model is equipped with SmartStart. SmartStart performs all appropriate starting
operations upon initial start switch actuation. To begin the Smartstart sequence, turn the ignition key switch to the "START" position
and release, or turn the ignition key switch the run position and press and release the start/stop switch, if equipped.
Rather than holding the start button or key switch in position until the engine starts, SmartStart controls the starting process
automatically. When the start switch is actuated the system signals the engine ECM to start the engine. The starter will receive
power until the engine starts, the starting process times out after a few seconds, or when the engine reaches 400 RPM. Attempting
to start the engine with the engine running will turn the engine off.
!
WARNING
Vapors can ignite and cause an explosion, resulting in engine damage or severe personal injury. Do not use volatile starting
aids such as ether, propane, or gasoline in the engine air intake system.
!
WARNING
Fuel vapors trapped in the engine compartment may be an irritant, cause difficulty breathing, or may ignite resulting in a fire or
explosion. Always ventilate the engine compartment before servicing the power package.
Before Starting the Engine
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.
IMPORTANT: Observe the following before starting:
•
If running the engine out of the water you must provide water to both the engine and sterndrive seawater pickup
pumps. See, Flushing the Seawater System in section 5 of this manual for seawater pickup information.
•
Ensure that the drive is trimmed in to its Full Down trim position.
•
Never operate the starter motor longer than 15 seconds at a time to avoid overheating the starter motor. If the engine
does not start, wait one minute to allow the starter motor to cool; then, repeat the starting procedure.
•
Ensure that the engine crankcase is filled to the correct level with the proper grade of oil for the prevailing
temperature. See Specifications—Engine Oil.
•
Ensure that all electrical connections are secure.
•
Check all items listed in the Maintenance Schedules and Operation Chart.
•
Perform any other necessary checks as indicated by your Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Authorized Repair Facility or
specified in your boat owner’s manual.
Starting a Cold Engine
IMPORTANT: Check the fluid levels before starting the engine. Refer to the
Maintenance Schedule
in the
Maintenance
section.
1. Turn on and run the engine compartment bilge blower (if equipped) for 5 minutes. Or, open the engine hatch to air out the
bilge before attempting to start the engine.
2. Place the remote control handle in neutral.
3. If the engine has not been run for a period of time and will not readily start with the standard starting procedure, use the hand
pump and primer plunger located on the fuel filter header. Move the primer plunger up and down four or five strokes. Attempt
to start the engine following the normal procedure.
4. Turn the ignition key switch to "RUN" position.
5. Turn the ignition key switch to "START" position and release, or press and release the start/stop switch, if equipped.
IMPORTANT: Engine oil pressure should exceed 69 kPa (10 psi) a few seconds after the engine starts. If oil pressure does
build adequatly, stop the engine then locate and correct the problem. See your Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Authorized Repair
Facility if you are unable to identify and correct the problem.
6. Ensure that all instrumentation is functioning properly and indicating normal engine operation.
