SYSTEM OPERATIONS-51
If the Automatic Fire Extinguisher
indicator light DOES NOT remain illu-
minated, turn OFF the engine(s) imme-
diately and follow the proper procedure
to check for
fi re aboard your yacht as
detailed in the Automatic Fire Extin-
guisher System Section of this Owner’s
Manual. A
fi re aboard your yacht may
result in serious personal injury or
death.
If one of the batteries is “dead”, or not
suf fi ciently charged to start your engine,
depress the “Parallel Start Switch” simul-
taneously while turning the ignition switch
to START. The parallel start switch draws
power from both batteries during the
starting procedure and it is located on the
Helm Switch Panel (Refer to the Electri-
cal pages of this section of your Owner’s
Manual for a location of the Switch). Re-
lease both switches immediately after the
engine starts.
DO NOT continue to depress the “Par-
allel Start Switch” after the engine has
started. Damage to the alternator(s)
may result.
After you have started both engines and
determined they are running properly, the
“warm-up” procedure should be followed
before departing the dock/mooring. The
proper “warm-up” procedure is as follows:
Check the oil pressure gauges to be
certain each engine has suf fi cient oil pres-
sure. Gasoline engines should have be-
tween 30 and 50 psi (pounds per square
inch) and diesel engines should have
between 35 and 70 psi. If the oil pressure
is lower than the normal operating range,
turn OFF the respective engine and con-
tact your Silverton Dealer for further in-
spection and repair, if necessary.
Allow the engines to run at the RPM’s
speci fi ed in the Engine Manual until they
reach the proper operating temperature.
Normal operating temperature for gaso-
line engines is 140° F with a raw water
cooling system and 170° F with a fresh
water cooling system. The normal oper-
ating temperature for diesel engines is
between 170° F and 190° F. If the engine
temperature rises signi
fi cantly above the
normal operating range (10° F), turn OFF
the respective engine and contact your
Silverton dealer for inspection and repair,
if necessary.
Check the exhaust outlets for the pres-
ence of water. Water coming from the ex-
haust outlets indicates proper water circu-
lation in the engine exhaust system. Water
should start coming out of the exhaust out-
let shortly after the engine is started. If you
do not observe any water coming from the
exhaust outlet(s), turn OFF the respective
engine and contact your Silverton Dealer
for inspection and repair.
Visually inspect the engine compart-
ment for fuel, oil and water leaks. If leaks
are found refer to your Fuel Section of
this manual. Also, contact your Silverton
Dealer for inspection and repair, if neces-
sary.
