Corroded connections prevent full current flow,
which can lead to numerous electrical issues with
the engine or boat.
•
Make sure battery connections are tight. Loose
connections also prevent full current flow.
•
Keep the batteries charged, especially during
storage.
Drive
Checking the Drive Unit Lubricant
NOTICE! Improper oil level, under- or overfilled, may
result in serious drive damage.
Check lubricant (oil) level in drive according to the
Owners Checklist. Oil level and condition checks are
the best ways to catch drive problems before serious
damage occurs.
Do not attempt to check oil if the boat is in the water.
Remove the dipstick. Check for oil on the flat portion F
of the dipstick.
If oil level is low, add small amounts through dipstick
opening until oil is at proper level.
If level is too high, remove until oil is at proper level.
See the Service and Maintenance Manual.
Check O-ring on dipstick for wear or nicks. Replace if
needed.
Tighten dipstick to 48–72 in. lb. (5.4–8.1 Nm).
During oil level check, inspect oil for signs of water
intrusion. The oil should be amber in color. Milky
looking oil indicates water mixed with the oil. Also
check for metal or other debris in oil. If moisture or
metal flakes appear in the drive unit oil, take the boat
to your Volvo Penta dealer.
