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 propel-
ler are not damaged 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 autho-
rized Volvo Penta workshop. If only the propeller has
been damaged it must be replaced. Launch the boat
and test drive. If there are still vibrations it must be in-
spected by an authorized Volvo Penta workshop.
IMPORTANT! To prevent galvanic corrosion any
damage to the paintwork on the drive and propel-
ler must be repaired before launching the boat,
please refer to “Laying up/Launching”.
Re-start after crash-stop
If the engine has stopped after a crash-stop, the fol-
lowing procedure has to be done before the boat can
be manoeuvered:
1. Put the control levers in neutral position.
2. Acknowledge the alarm and stop the engine(s).
3. Wait until the system is shutdown entierly, all lamps
has gone out. Then start the system, not the engi-
ne.
4. Acknowledge the alarm and start the engine.
5. Stop the engine. Wait until the system is shutdown
entierly, all lamps has gone out. Then start the
engine.
