11.1  Engines
The  engine  on  your  boat  is  at  the  heart  of  your  boat. 
Proper  attention  to  and  maintenance  of  your  engine 
will  assure  you  many  hours  of  pleasurable,  safe 
boating,  and  will  prevent  unnecessary  engine  prob-
lems.  You  must,  therefore,  become  thoroughly  famil-
iar  with  all  aspects  of  the  engines  proper  operation 
outlined  in  the  manufacturers  Operator’s  Manuals. 
 
A general maintenance program consists of proper lubri-
cation,  cleaning  of  fuel  filters,  fuel  lines,  and  air  filters.

Take proper care when washing down, or clean-
ing your engines, that water does not enter the air 
intakes. Water in the air intakes may go directly to 
the cylinders, resulting in rust and possibly internal 
engine damage. 
Fig. 11.1 shows you drive and components aboard your 
boat.
We  strongly  urge  you  to  comply  with  the  manual  pro-
vided  by  the  engine  manufacturer.  Follow  the  recom-
mended  maintenance  and  warranty  schedule  in  the 
owner’s packet. Engine abuse or improper maintenance 
may  adversely  affect  the  claims  made  under  the  inde-
pendent warranty  provided  by  the  engine  manufacturer. 
The  engine  manual  states  the  maximum  RPM  rating 
established  by  the  engine  manufacturer  for  your  boat’s 
engines.  Do not exceed this rating.  Check the manual 
for other information about maximum RPM’s.
Engines  are  selected  and  designed  to  meet  or  exceed 
industry standards set by marine engine manufacturers.
