Stopping the engine
The engine must be run for a few minutes at idle (in neutral) before it is stopped. This prevents boiling and evens
out temperatures. This is especially important when the engine has been run at high rpm or under heavy load.
Completed operations
Turn the key to position “0”.
After the engine has stopped
● Close the fuel tap
● Close the sea cock, if fitted.
IMPORTANT! Remember to open the seacock
and fuel tap before the engine is started again.
● Inspect the engine and engine bay for leaks.
● Boats with sterndrives: Trim the drive down to
maximum to protect the trim ram piston's untreated
surfaces from fouling.
IMPORTANT! If there is a risk of the boat striking
bottom with the drive, the drive must instead be
trimmed up to the maximum lift position.
● Turn off the main switches if the boat will not be run
for a while.
IMPORTANT! Make sure the start key is
switched off (is in the “0”-position or removed)
before the mainswitches are turned off. Otherwise
the electrical system may be damaged.
Extra stop
If the engine cannot be stopped in the normal man-
ner, it is possible to shut it down using the extra stop
located on the side of the engine.
