 Yourengineisheldrmlyinplacebyspecialmarine-grade
enginemountsthatarebuiltandinstalledtowithstandthekindsof
stressesuniquetoaboangenvironment.
 Incheckingtheenginemounts,besuretodothisbefore
starngtheengine.Componentsontheenginecanbecomehot
enoughtoburnskin.Avoidburnsbycheckingbeforestarng.
 Anymeyoususpectanenginemountisloose,itmustbe
ghtened.Iftheengineisallowedtoshakeormoveduring
operaon,itadverselyaectstheenredrive-trainandcouldcause
damagethatwouldnotbecoveredunderwarranty.
Someapsandcomponentsoftheexhaustsystemarecomposedofhigh-
graderubberandsynthecs.Thesemaydeteriorateoverme.Checkto
ensurethattheaptssecurelyovertheexhaustportandthatitopenswith
ease,whichiswhatmustoccurwhentheboatengineisrunning.
 Thereisliletheconsumercandotocorrectissueswiththesteeringsystem,butitiscricaltothe
safetyofthoseon-boardthatsteeringproblemsareimmediatelycorrected.Oen,dicultyinsteering
isamaeroflubricaonthatanauthorizedAxisdealercanperform.Neverignoreanysteeringissues,
regardlessofmingfortheannualmaintenancecheck-up.
Aswiththesteering,neverignoresuspiciousissueswiththeshier/throle.Anymetheleverdoes
notmovesmoothlyortheboatdoesnotshi/accelerate/deceleratewitheaseandsmoothness,itisa
maertoberesolvedbyanauthorizedAxisdealer.Donotwaitfortheannualmaintenanceperiodto
verifysafeoperaons.
YourauthorizedAxisdealercanchecktoseethatabaery(ies)appearstobeholdingchargeproperly.
Unlessabaeryhasfullyexpendeditslifecycle,it’simpossibletoguaranteethatthebaerywillconnue
toserve,butexperiencehelpsthedealertoancipatewhetherthereissllservicetobeexpectedfrom
thebaery.
Whenitisnecessarytoreplaceabaery,becertaintoselectamarine-gradebaerywithatleast
seven-hundred-y(750)coldcrankingamps(cca)atzerodegrees(0
o
)Fahrenheit.Spiralcellbaeriesare
superiorinholdingchargesandextendingtheperiodofavailableusage.
TheauthorizedAxisdealercaninspectandrepair/replace
ballastandbilgepumpsthatarenotfunconingproperly.Thisis
bothasafetymaerandaddstothelifeoftheboat’ssystems.All
pumpswilllosefunconalityovermeastheinternalcomponents
aredesignedtobeself-sacricingduringuse,ratherthan
allowingdebristofoulanddamagemoreexpensiveandcomplex
componentsofthesesystems.Insistuponpumpevaluaonsduring
