 Because this process should be completed while the engine is cool (in order to avoid burns), it is
recommended that this check be completed prior to starting the engine.
• EnsuretheengineisOFFandtheenginesafetystartingswitchisdisconnected.Leave
thethrottle/shiftcontrolleverinneutral.Opentheenginecompartmentand
locatethethrottle/shiftcables.

These inspections should initially be done before the engine has been started. Recognize that this
is a preliminary inspection only and care should be taken throughout the boating experience to be
alert for any signs of fuel or exhaust leaks.

ed.Opentheenginecompartmentandvisuallycheckasmuchofthefueland

shutdowntheengineanddetermineiftheodororunexplainedbehavioris
theresultofmalfunctionsinthefuelorexhaustsystems.
As the boat is started, check all gauges but pay particular attention to the voltmeter.
 Whenstartingtheengine,checkthatthevoltmeterreadsbetween12.8and14volts
onthevoltmeter.Anerraticreadingcanbeasignoflowvoltage.Thevoltmeteristhebest
