electrical damage can occur, and the solenoid will not engage to shut off the
engine.
Engine overheat:
Normal engine temp is 180 degrees. There is a light and alarm buzzer on the engine
panel. There is also an exhaust temperature alarm inside the companionway below the
top step. If the alarm sounds, or steam comes out the exhaust, immediately check the
amount of water coming out the exhaust. If it is little or none, the most likely cause is
eelgrass plugging the raw water strainer. Shut off the engine immediately and if near
shore, be prepared to anchor or sail. See above for instructions for cleaning the strainer.
(Note: raw water impellers are replaced annually as part of preventive maintenance.)
If the engine overheats with adequate water flow out the exhaust, check the coolant
level in the engine. The plastic overflow container is accessed through the removable
panel behind the engine in the aft cabin. Normally, the coolant level in the overflow
plastic container is at the “low” to “mid” level. If below the “low” level, we add coolan
t,
but not before.
Do not open the “radiator” cap on the top of the engine!

Satellite Radio/AM-FM Stereo/iPod
The Fusion marine stereo has two cabin speakers and two cockpit speakers in
separate zones. The Fusion stereo makes it easy to control the volume in each zone. Just
press the volume control to cycle through the options. For example, if both zones are
highlighted, the volume control will adjust both zones. If one zone is highlighted, the
volume control will adjust just that zone.
There is a USB input for phones and iPods (that charges the device as well), and a
mini jack aux input. These are on the panel to the left (around the corner) of the stereo.
The radio also has AM, FM, and Sirius/XM radio. We chose Sirius/XM rather than
Bluetooth.
The Fusion stereo communicates with the boat’s network and can be controlled
by the Raymarine a75 chartplotter. For it to work properly, turn on the stereo before
turning on the instruments and chartplotter breakers. The chartplotter has an icon page
option for split screen with Chart/Music for controlling the Fusion stereo.
