A cold engine has a tendency to stall when first put into gear. Let your engines
warm up a few minutes before departing your dock or anchorage.
Each engine is equipped with a temperature alarm. The alarm sounds
when the temperature of the engine’s coolant increases to a predeter-
mined point. If the alarm sounds, immediately shut off the affected
engine.
Even with high temperature alarms installed, it is important that you
visually monitor both temperature gauges while running the engines. If a
temperature gauge indicates excessive engine temperature, immediately
shut off the affected engine.
The engine manufacturer has established a maximum coolant tempera-
ture rating for your engines, as listed in the engine OEM information. Do
not exceed the maximum coolant temperature. Doing so could damage
the engines.
5.6.3 Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge displays the pressure within the engine’s lubrica-
tion system. The oil pressure reading changes as engine speed changes.
However, a noticeable decrease (either sudden or gradual) in an engine’s
oil pressure while the boat is maintaining a constant speed may indicate
an oil pump failure, a leak in the lubrication system or excessive engine
wear.
Each engine is equipped with a pressure alarm. The alarm sounds when
the pressure in the lubrication system decreases to a predetermined
point. The alarm also sounds when the engine is started or when the
ignition switch is “ON” and the engine is not running. In these situa-
tions, the engine does not yet have adequate oil pressure; the alarm is
silenced as soon as the oil pressure increases to within the normal
operating range. Refer to the engine OEM information for the normal
operating range.
If the alarm sounds after the engine has been running for a while, or if
the alarm is not silenced within 15 seconds after starting the engine,
