3. Verify that water is draining from each opening.
4. Allow the system to drain for a minimum of five minutes. We recommend leaving the drain system open while transporting
the boat or performing other maintenance to ensure that all water is drained.
5. Crank the engine over slightly with starter motor to purge any water trapped in the seawater pickup pump. Do not allow the
engine to start.
6. Before launching the boat or starting the engine, close the drain system by installing the three blue drain plugs.
Battery Storage
Whenever the battery will be stored for an extended period of time, be sure the cells are full of water and the battery is fully charged
and in good operating condition. It should be clean and free of leaks. Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for storage.
Recommissioning the Power Package
1. Ensure that all cooling system hoses are connected properly and hose clamps are tight.
!
CAUTION
Disconnecting or connecting the battery cables in the incorrect order can cause injury from electrical shock or can damage the
electrical system. Always disconnect the negative (‑) battery cable first and connect it last.
2. Install a fully charged battery. Clean the battery cable clamps and terminals and reconnect cables. Tighten each cable clamp
securely when connecting.
3. Coat the terminal connections with a battery terminal anti‑corrosion agent.
4. Perform all the checks in the before starting column of the Operation Chart.
NOTICE
Without sufficient cooling water, the engine, the water pump, and other components will overheat and suffer damage. Provide
a sufficient supply of water to the water inlets during operation.
5. Start the engine and closely observe instrumentation to ensure that all systems are functioning correctly.
6. Carefully inspect the engine for fuel, oil, fluid, water and exhaust leaks.
7. Inspect the steering system, shift and throttle control for proper operation.
