Running aground
The automatic Kick-up function releases the drive if it grounds or hits
an object in the water. If the function has been tripped and the drive
released it must be trimmed back to the original position using the
control buttons.
IMPORTANT! The Kick-up function only protects the drive when
running ahead (forwards). There is no protection for the drive
while running astern (backward).
Check after running aground that the drive or propeller are not dam-
aged or if there are vibrations from the drive. If this is the case then
the boat (if possible) should be run to harbor at reduced speed and
taken out of the water.
Take the boat out of the water. Check the oil level in the drive. If it is
colored gray then water has entered the drive. If this is the case or if
other damage has occurred to the drive it must be inspected at an au-
thorized Volvo Penta workshop. If only the propeller has been dam-
aged it must be replaced. Launch the boat and test drive. If there are
still vibrations it must be inspected by an authorized Volvo Penta
workshop.
IMPORTANT! To prevent galvanic corrosion any damage to the
paintwork on the drive and propeller must be repaired before
launching the boat: See section “Laying up/Launching”.
DPX twin and triple installations:
WARNING! If the parallel strut shows signs of damage, run at
reduced speed to harbor. The parallel strut is a vital safety com-
ponent, damage may affect steering characteristics. In the worst
case steering could be lost altogether. Never align or weld a
damaged parallel strut. Please contact your nearest authorized
Volvo Penta workshop for assistance.
Operating with the drive in the Beach range
The beach range is used for operation at reduced speed in shallow
water or where water depth is uncertain.
IMPORTANT! Max. permitted engine speed (rpm) when running
in the “Beach range” is 1,000 rpm. Check that drive is never
trimmed so that the cooling water intake is out of the water.
WARNING! Twin and triple installations (DPX): When lifting mul-
tiple drives installations within the beach range both drives must
always be lifted at the same time – in parallel, so as not to place
an undue strain on the parallel strut between the drives.
Drives must also be lowered simultaneously/parallel.
