1.1 General
The Monterey 340 Sport Yacht is designed to be
powered with twin inboard/outboard gas or diesel
engines and drive systems. Each manufacturer
of the various inboard/outboard drive systems
provides an owner’s information manual with
its product. It is important that you read the
manual(s) very carefully and become familiar with
the proper care and operation of the engine and
drive system. A warranty registration card has
been furnished with each new engine and can be
located in the engine owner’s manual. All infor-
mation requested on this card should be filled out
completely by the dealer and purchaser and then
returned to the respective engine manufacturer
as soon as possible.
CERTAIN MOVING PARTS ARE EXPOSED AND CAN
PROVE DANGEROUS TO SOMEONE UNfAMILIAR
WITH THE OPERATION AND fUNCTION Of THE
EQUIPMENT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY
ENGINE OR DRIVE COMPONENT WITHOUT bEING
TOTALLY fAMILIAR WITH THE SAfE AND PROPER
SERVICE PROCEDURES.
1.2 Drive Systems
The inboard engines are mounted in the stern and
coupled to transom mounted outdrives which do all
shifting, steering, and propulsion functions. The
outdrives are supplied by the engine manufacturer
and have specific lubrication and maintenance
requirements.
Proper engine alignment is very important. This
was done by the factory when the engines were
installed and should be checked once per season
with Volvo engines and once every three years
with Mercruiser engines thereafter. If you expe-
rience excessive vibrations or suspect that the
engine is out of alignment, please contact your
Monterey dealer.
Marine growth and galvanic corrosion is a con-
cern if the boat is to be kept in the water. Marine
growth occurs when components are left in the
water for extended periods and can cause poor
performance or permanent damage to the exposed
components. The type of growth and how quickly
it occurs is relative to the water conditions in your
boating area. Water temperature, pollution, cur-
rent, etc. can have an effect on marine growth.
If the boat is to be left in saltwater, the hull and
outdrive must be protected with antifouling paint.
It is extremely important that the proper antifoul-
ing paint is used on each component. Contact
your Monterey dealer for information on the proper
paint to use in your area.
Galvanic corrosion is the corrosion process oc-
curring when different metals are submerged in
an electrolyte. Sea water is an electrolyte and
submerged engine components must be properly
protected. Outdrives are equipped with sacrificial
anodes to prevent galvanic corrosion problems.
