WARNING
!
!
In order to prevent premature starter failure, do not
continuously crank engine starters for more than 10
seconds.
5. As the engines warm, the temp gauge will start to rise.
Watch the gauge and make sure that the engines do not
run hot.
6. Once the engines come up to operating temp (check
manufacturer’s recommendations for correct tempera-
ture), move the shift lever to Fwd and Reverse to make
sure that the transmission will engage.
7. Now, shut down the engines and recheck your oil and
transmission fluid levels.
WARNING
!
!
DO NOT remove cooling system filter cap when en-
gine is hot. Allow to cool and then remove pressure
cap slowly, allowing pressure to vent. Hot coolant
under pressure may discharge violently.
WARNING
!
!
Exhaust gasses contain Carbon Monoxide. This is
a poisonous gas and can cause death. Shut down
engines immediately, if any exhaust leaks are de-
tected.
Important: Always be careful when starting the engines. Use
common sense and good judgment. Shut down the engines
immediately if you observe any unsafe operating conditions.
Important: If engine fails to start within 10 seconds, release
switch. Allow starter motor to cool for at least 60 seconds, then
try starting the engine again.
Note: Should there be a problem with the battery voltage level,
see the section in this chapter for emergency operation.
13.3 Getting Underway
WARNING
!
!
Before ever pulling away from the dock, make sure
that the shore power cord and the fresh water hoses
are disconnected.
Check that the fresh water tanks are full.
Verify that you have up to date fire extinguisher and
flares.
Make sure you have the required safety equipment for
your passengers.
After engines reach operating temperature, accelerate
the engines to 2000 RPM’s. Check that voltmeters read
13 to 14.5 volts.
Check wind, tide, and current to determine the best way
to maneuver your boat away from the dock. Cast off
mooring lines.
Shift your boat’s engine into forward or reverse, depend-
ing on whether you want to move the bow or the stern
away from the dock first. Your engines should be running
at a slow speed as you move away from the dock.
Once your boat is in open water, you can safely acceler-
ate to cruising speed. Advance throttle to setting which
provides your desired engine speed (RPM’s).
13.3.1 Getting Ready to Sail
Note: This is not intended to provide a complete guide on sail-
ing! The ‘art’ of managing a sailboat in all weather, tidal and
day/night conditions can not even be taught by reading even the
best instruction book. If you are not proficient in handling sail
boats please refrain from handling this boat and obtain profes-
sional training and certificates of which some might be required
for you to navigate this boat in certain areas or countries.
The following is a simple guide only:
1. Install the battens in the mainsail and install the main-
sail onto the boom from the forward end. Remove the
stop pin or open the sail gate in the mast and install the
luff slides into the track on the back of the spar. Reinstall
the stop pin or close the sail gate to prevent the slides
from falling back out again. Pack the sail into the sailpack
lazyjack system on your boom or furl it into the mast care-
