5.2.3 CHECKING EMERGENCY SWITCHES
Always wear the wireless man overboard fob clipped to your personal flotation device (PFD). If a wireless
fob is not installed, make sure the kill switch clip is in place and the cord securely attached to the operator.
WARNING
Operating your outboard(s) without the wireless man overboard fob or the optional wired man
overboard fob attached to your PFD may result in serious injury or death to you the operator, your
passengers or others nearby.
5.2.4 CHECKING FUEL
Check your diesel fuel tank level prior to starting your outboard(s) and ensure it is sufficient for the
planned route, considering tidal and weather conditions and the intended speed. Check for fuel leaks and
ensure fuel hoses are securely attached and clamped.
Check your fuel filter for water level and the fuel in the filter housing for any contamination. Drain the filter
if the water level is above the drain line.
NOTE
Depending on initial fuel quality, level of contamination and environmental factors, diesel fuel has a
typical storage life of 6-12 months. Consider draining and replacing the fuel if it has been in your
tank for a long time.
WARNING
Leaving the port without enough fuel for a safe return is dangerous and may incur significant
recovery costs.
Degraded diesel fuel, by contamination or long storage time, can lead to decreased performance,
misfiring or other poor running and can cause damage to your outboard(s).
