When boating in unfamiliar waters, obtain appropriate
navigation charts to avoid hard groundings. Proceed
with caution in these areas.
High Altitude Operation
Volvo Penta EFI engines have programmed altitude
compensation; however, there may be a slight per-
formance loss at altitudes above 5000 feet due to lower
air density. If you are boating above 5000 feet for a
short time, a lower pitch propeller will restore some of
the lost performance. Long term use above altitudes of
5000 ft. may require a change in gear ratio which is not
covered under the Volvo Penta Limited Warranty.
Salt Water Operation
You can use your Volvo Penta sterndrive in either fresh
or salt water.
We recommend that you use fresh water to flush out
the engine and drive after you use your boat in polluted
or salt water. This will prolong the service life of the
engine and sterndrive. For additional information, see
Engine Flush .
High Performance Boat Operation
High performance is not only defined by engine size,
but by a combination of engine power, hull design, and
the size of the boat. Depending on the combination of
these factors, top speed may be much higher than
expected.
High speed operation requires an experienced opera-
tor who has mastered handling of high performance
boats. It is advisable that you learn the boat’s behavior
before you take passengers on board. Inform your
passengers about your boat’s characteristics and the
maneuvers you intend to do. Use the boat’s perform-
ance with due consideration and care!
When operating at high speeds, remember that other
boaters may not realize the speed at which you are
travelling, especially when you close in on another boat
from astern or from ahead. Always keep a good dis-
tance to allow for the unexpected! Always be prepared
for what other boaters may do unexpectedly. High
speed driving requires the driver to give a high degree
