SENSIBLE OPERATION
The engine in your boat is built to exacting specifications
and is designed to deliver unparalleled performance
from idle speed to wide open throttle. Most skiing,
wakeboarding and surfing is done at low to moderate
RPM, and that is where we have calibrated the engines
to provide the highest torque and pulling power. Although
occasional operation higher RPM is acceptable, we
recommend for extended cruising, that the throttle be
kept at a maximum of 80%. It is also important not to
overload your boat by adding more weight and ballast
than the boat was designed to handle. Damage to the
engine that can be attributed to excessive RPM and/or
loading may not be covered by the engine’s limited
warranty.
DAILY ROUTINE
1. Open the engine cover and check the bilge for
water; pump bilge dry. Excessive amounts of
water can indicate leakage problems from shaft/
rudder logs, thru-hull fittings, loose or damaged
hoses or hull damage. Excess water in the bilge will
damage engine components (starters, alternators,
transmissions, etc.).
Do not allow excessive amounts of water to
remain in the bilge. Component damage due
to water is not covered by the warranty.
2. Follow the starting procedures outlined in Chapter 3,
Engine Starting Procedures
.
