Water in Oil and Oil Level
OceanX drives are equipped with a sensor that
monitors oil level and quality. If the oil level in the drive
is low or water is detected in the oil, an alarm will sound
for one second every sixty seconds. If this alarm
sounds, check the level and quality of the oil in the
drive.
NOTICE! Operating the drive with low or poor quality
oil could lead to major drive damage. If the alarm
sounds, correct the problem before using the drive
again.
For instructions on checking the level, refer to
Checking the Drive Unit Lubricant, page 96. If the oil
level is low, add the necessary amount.
Check the oil to see if it has a milky or translucent white
appearance, which indicates water in the oil.
If the alarm persists after correcting the oil level and
quality, contact your dealer for repairs as soon as
possible.
Electric Fuel Pumps
EFI engines have two electric fuel pumps, contained in
a fuel cell on the front of the engine:
•
A high-pressure pump A to supply the fuel injectors.
•
A low-pressure pump B to bring fuel from the boat
tank to the engine.
Both pumps are protected by a common 20-amp fuse
and are controlled by a relay. See the next section. The
pumps will operate only when the engine is cranking
or running. If a pump is not working, check the fuse and
replace if necessary. See your Volvo Penta dealer if
further service is required.
The fuel filter C is also mounted to the fuel cell. To
change the filter, see Engine Fuel Filter Replacement.
NOTICE! A loud whining noise at idle may be due to a
restricted fuel filter causing a noisy fuel pump.
Operating the engine with a restricted filter may
damage the pressure regulator or fuel pumps. See
your Volvo Penta dealer if the pump makes an unusual
noise.
