ENGINE STARTING PROCEDURES
Before operating or maintaining the engine, review “Safety” on
page 1-1.
NOTICE
Current fuel injected engines are equipped with a feature called
“Smart Start.” When the key is advanced to the START position,
the starter will remain engaged and will crank the engine for 8
seconds or until the engine starts, whichever happens first. This
same feature will prevent accidental engagement of the starter
when the engine is running.
NOTICE
Some boats are equipped with a pushbutton start instead of a key
switch. Pushing the start button is the same function as turning the
key to the start position.
HOW TO START YOUR ENGINE
1. WARNING! Operate the bilge blower for at least 4 minutes.
Run the blower for 4 minutes to remove explosive gasoline and
battery fumes from the engine compartment.
