AVIARA OWNERS MANUAL / 98
Under Way
If the oil pressure gauge indicates low or no oil pressure,
immediately stop the boat as outlined below and check the oil
level. If the temperature gauge indicates overheating, stop the
boat when it is safe to do so as outlined below and check the
raw water system for blockage. (See the Boat Operations and
Care and Maintenance sections of this Owner’s Manual for
directions on how to properly check for the blockage.) DO NOT
operate the boat until the cause for the warning has been found
and corrected.
Continued operation after the warning light has illuminated may
cause severe engine damage. This will void your warranty.
Stopping
The process for stopping the boat is:
• Slowly bring the control levers to the neutral position. If the
boat has been driven for a long period of time or at high
speed, allow the engine a two-to-three (2-3) minute cool-
down period at low idle (600-800 RPM).
• Press the ENGINE START-STOP button on Mercury
equipped boats, or press and hold the ENGINE START-STOP
button on Ilmor equipped boats.
• At the conclusion of the outing, turn the keys off and
remove from the key slots. Turn the battery switches to
“OFF”. Doing so will ensure that you have turned off the
electrical system, and will prevent others from starting or
running the boat.
• If any problems were encountered during operation,
have the boat inspected by an authorized Aviara dealer.
Request any necessary repairs before resuming operation
of the boat.
