In checking the engine mounts, be sure to do this before starting the engine. Components on
the engine can become hot enough to burn skin. Avoid this by checking before starting.
Any time you suspect an engine mount is loose, it must be tightened. If the engine is allowed
to shake or move during operation, it adversely aects the entire 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 synthetics. These may
deteriorate over time. Check to ensure that
the aps t securely over the exhaust port
and that they will open with ease, which is
what must occur when the boat engine is
running.
There is little the consumer can do to correct issues with the steering system, but
it is critical to the safety of those on-board that steering problems are immediately
corrected. Often, diiculty in steering is a matter of lubrication that an authorized
Axis dealer can perform. Never ignore any steering issues, regardless of timing for
the annual maintenance check-up.
As with the steering, never ignore suspicious issues with the shifter/throttle.
Anytime the lever does not move smoothly or the boat does not shift/accelerate/
decelerate with ease and smoothness, it is a matter to be resolved by an authorized
Axis dealer. Do not wait for the annual maintenance period to verify safe operations.
