12. If the fuel tank was drained, fill tank with fresh fuel
that does not contain alcohol.
13. Check all fluid, oil and coolant levels on engine and
drive train.
14. Check engine compartment and bilge for nesting ani-
mals. Clean as necessary. Check for any damage or
evidence of fluid leaks.
15. Check alignment between the output flange on the
transmission and the prop shaft flange. If the maxi-
mum feeler gauge that can slip between the flange
faces at any point is 0.003" (0.08 mm), the unit is
properly aligned. If a thicker gauge can be inserted at
any point, the engine must be readjusted until proper
alignment is obtained.

NOTICE
With the boat in the water or a hose and adapter
installed, cycle the key switch ON, then OFF, for five
second intervals 2-4 times before cranking the engine
to allow the fuel pump to prime the fuel lines.
16. Review boat manufacturers starting procedure.
17. Start the engine. If you experience a no-start condi-
tion, do not crank the engine for more than 15 sec-
onds without allowing a two minute cool-down peri-
od. When the engine starts, keep a close watch on
the gauge readings. Check all of the hoses and drain
plugs for leaks. Listen for abnormal noises. Run the
engine long enough to reach normal operating tem-
perature and re-inspect for leaks. If no leaks are
found, the boat is ready for operation.
