Break-In
Careful break-in allows internal engine
components to “seat” properly, resulting in
maximum engine life and performance. Refer to
the propulsion unit and generator operator
manuals for manufacturers’ break-in
requirements.
Before Each Use
1. Test for proper operation of the carbon
monoxide detector(s). Refer to the carbon
monoxide detector operator’s manual.
2. Test for proper operation of the fume
detector. Refer to the fume detector
operator’s manual.
3. Check the remote control for proper
operation and maintenance following the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
4. Check all seacocks and hoses for leakage. If
you notice a leak, contact your Formula
dealer.
●
Seacocks can only be replaced when
the boat is out of the water.
●
Be sure a seacock is in the closed
position before replacing a hose.
Improperly maintained remote controls
are hazardous and may cause sudden
loss of control. Make sure all
shift/throttle hardware and cables are
regularly inspected and maintained.
Improper maintenance may result in a
loss of control, resulting in serious
injury or death.
