CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID/OIL
LEVEL
Transmissions require lubrication to function properly. Your dealer can
verify the type of transmission in the boat. e amount of transmission
uid/oil varies according to the product. See the requirements for
transmission uid/oil in the transmission manufacturer’s manual.
NOTICE: Always use the recommended transmission fluid/oil. Damage
to the engine by use of low-quality or non-recommended transmission
fluid/oil will void the warranty. Overfill or underfill may also result in
serious damage to the engine and is not covered under warranty.
CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
An accurate engine oil level reading will happen only aer the engine has
run for at least 3 minutes at idle. is should be one of the last checks
performed prior to an outing. Run the engine with the boat in the body of
water.
1. Aer operating the engine at idle for at least 3 minutes, turn the engine
OFF and disconnect the engine safety starting switch. Open the engine
compartment. e engine oil dipstick is located on the side of the
engine.
2. Allow approximately 2 minutes before checking. Remove the dipstick
and wipe it o on a clean rag. Insert it fully and immediately remove.
Check that the oil level is between the FULL and LOW marks on the
dipstick. (Oil will expand as it is heated.)
3. Add oil if necessary through the oil ll neck and only enough to bring
oil between the two marks. Overll may result in damage to the engine
that may not be covered by the warranty. Use oil as specied in Fluid
Specications on page 11-1. DO NOT USE OIL ADDITIVES AT
ANY TIME.
