The inboard engines on the 58 DB are the heart of
your Sea Ray
®
boat. Proper attention to and
maintenance of your engines will assure you of
many hours of pleasurable, safe boating and will
prevent unnecessary engine problems. You must,
therefore, become thoroughly familiar with all
aspects of the engine’s proper operation outlined in
the Engine Operator’s Manual. A general
maintenance program consists of proper lubrication,
cleaning of fuel filters, fuel lines and air filters. When
washing down, or at any other time, take care
that water does not enter the air inlets. Water
entering the air inlets when the engines are not
operating may go directly into the cylinders, resulting
in rust and possibly internal engine damage.
The engines are warranted directly by the
engine manufacturer, not by Sea Ray
®
.
Sea Ray
®
strongly urges you to fully comply with
the manual provided by the engine manufacturer.
Follow the recommended maintenance and
warranty schedule in your Engine Operator’s
Manual included in the owner’s packet. Engine
abuse or improper maintenance may adversely
affect the claims made under the independent
warranty provided by the engine manufacturer.

Standard on the 58 DB is the Rex Roth gear shift
and throttle engine controls(See Figure 2.10.1).
Read and understand the information in the Owner’s
Manual Packet for your yacht model’s gear and
throttle control. Also see the Quick Reference Card
in your Owner’s Packet for additional operational
instructions.
Your yacht has start in-gear protection. For safety’s
sake and as a good habit to get into, always put the
gear/throttle selectors in the NEUTRAL & IDLE
position before starting the engines.
Follow the engine START sequence according to
the Engine Owner’s Manual. Also see Section 3 -
Using Your Boat, page 3.4
REFER TO OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET FOR
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.

OCATION
The engine gauge package is located on the inboard
side of each engine. Gauge packages may differ
with different engine options. Refer to your engine
Operator’s Manual for proper gauge readings and
gauge package location.

ROPELLERS
Your Sea Ray
®
has been equipped with propellers
which our tests have shown to be the best suited
for general use under normal conditions and load.
Under no circumstances use a propeller which
allows the engine to operate at higher than maximum
RPM for your engine.
REFER TO ENGINE OPERATOR’S MANUAL
FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION.
