Boat Bottom
The condition of the boat’s bottom can affect your
engine’s performance. Marine growth, present in fresh
water as well as salt water, will reduce boat speed. A
boat bottom with evidence of marine growth can cause
a reduction in top speed of 20 percent or more. Peri-
odically clean the bottom of your boat following the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Bottom painting
may also be desirable.
Engine Submersion
1. Remove the engine from the water as quickly as
possible.
2. Contact your local Volvo Penta dealer for service.
● Your dealer will need to drain all water from
the engine and immediately lubricate all
internal parts.
● All electrical devices must also be dried and
inspected for water damage.
3. Frequently check engine compartment for gaso-
line fumes and excessive water accumulation. In
addition, make sure that the water depth in the
bilge is kept well below the flywheel housing.
NOTICE! Delay in completing the above actions will
result in extensive engine damage.
Trim/Tilt Motor Protection
If the electric motor stops while tilting, release the
switch and allow the overload switch to cool and auto-
matically reset itself. When the overload switch has
reset, tilting may be resumed. Make sure the drive unit
is not being restrained, causing the motor to overheat.
If the electric motor still does not operate, check the
40-amp circuit breaker located in the fuse box.
