Starting the engine
Make a habit of checking the engine and engine compartment visually before operating the boat. This will help you
to quickly detect anything unusual that has or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and the warning
display are indicating normal values when you have started the engine.
Before starting
● Open the cooling water intake sea cock.
● Open fuel cock.
● Carry out the actions in the “Daily before the first start-up” section in
the maintenance schedule
● Switch on the main switch.
IMPORTANT! Never break the circuit with the main switch while
the engine is running. This could damage the generator.
● Start the engine compartment fan if one is fitted and let it run for at
least four minutes.
● Check that there is sufficient fuel.
● Push in the stop control, if the boat is fitted with one.
