ENGINE FITTING
Engine
These instructions give detailed explanations on proper operation of the engine.
- Refill before the fuel tanks have almost run dry (the fuel system may be stopped for lack
of fuel).
- Make sure you have enough fuel before sailing.
Access to the engine
Access to the engine is obtained through the service compartment.
Engine water intake valve
The water inlet valve of the engine is essential in the engine operation.
- Keep the strainer under the hull as clean as possible.
- Brush the strainer whenever the boat is lifted out.
- Do not cover the strainer with antifouling paint.
It is essential that this valve is open before the engine is started (danger of rapid wear and
substantial damage to engine installation).
If water does not flow out:
- Stop the engine immediately.
- Check that the valve is open.
Close the water inlet valve if the boat is unattended for long.
Regularly inspect and clean the seawater filter.
Engine operation
Before starting the engine:
- Turn on the fuel valve.
- Open the seawater inlet valve located by the housings.
- Operate the battery switches and energise the electric system.
- Disengage the reverse gear (it will make the acceleration possible when in neutral).
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
- Get used to checking immediately after starting the engine if water is expelled with the
exhaust gases.
WARNING
- Never switch off or de-energise the electric system when the engine is
running.
- Imperatively operate the stop pull handle (or button) before using the ignition
key to switch off a diesel engine.
