Important: Engines require air to operate. For this reason, do
not operate the engine or generator with this area obstructed.
Important: The engine manual supplied by the manufac-
turer includes complete and detailed information about oper-
ating and maintaining your boat’s engines. Be sure to read
it. Do not start or operate the boat’s engines until you
have done so. The life and performance you receive from
your engines depends greatly on the way you care for it.
