9. Check alignment between the output flange on the
transmission and the prop shaft flange. If the maximum feeler

gauge can be inserted at any point, the engine must be
readjusted until proper alignment is obtained.

OTE: N With the boat in the water or a hose and adapter installed,

intervals 3-4 times before cranking the engine to allow the
fuel pump to prime the fuel lines.
10. Review boat manufacturer’s starting procedure.
11. Start the engine. If you experience a no-start condition, do not
crank the engine for more than 15 seconds without allowing
a two minute cool-down period. 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 temperature
and reinspect for leaks. If no leaks are found, the boat is ready
for operation.
