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.
