Recommissioning the Power Package
1. Ensure that all cooling system hoses are connected properly and hose clamps are tight.
!
CAUTION
Disconnecting or connecting the battery cables in the incorrect order can cause injury from electrical shock or can damage
the electrical system. Always disconnect the negative (‑) battery cable first and connect it last.
2. Install a fully charged battery. Clean the battery cable clamps and terminals and reconnect the cables. Tighten each cable
clamp securely when connecting.
3. Coat the terminal connections with a battery terminal anticorrosion agent.
4. Perform all the checks in the
Operation Chart
.
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.
5. Start the engine and closely observe instrumentation to ensure that all systems are functioning correctly.
6. Carefully inspect the engine for fuel, oil, fluid, water, and exhaust leaks.
7. Inspect the steering system, shift and throttle control for proper operation.
Seacock
The ABYC and other industry standards/regulations require the use of a seacock on certain types of applications to stop the
entry of water in the event of a leak in the cooling system. Refer to applicable standards/regulations for specific requirements.
The seacock also allows the water to be shut off when servicing the engine.
Seacock must provide minimum restriction to water flow (refer to Specifications). A ball or gate valve is recommended. The ball
valve is most common and is typically equipped with a lever type handle that operates in a 90 degree arc. This design gives a
clear indication of whether the valve is open or shut. Industry standards/requirements typically require that the seacock be
rigidly attached to the hull at the water pickup. Seacock location should be readily accessible for quick, easy operation.
