Running
-In______________________________________
It is recommended to run-in new engines (20 hours) following these basic points:
1 Do not excessively rev engine.
2 In the event of a warning light or alarm, stop the engine immediately.
3 All gear changes should be implemented at low engine revolution (i.e. from
neutral).
4 Place gear selection control in reverse position or for fixed bladed props, to
reduce drag, prop can be left in neutral whilst under sail. Never put the gear
lever in the position corresponding to the yacht's direction of travel.
5 Run the engine occasionally during long voyages to keep batteries charged.
6 Do not switch off the ignition and battery switch until engine has fully stopped.
7 Ensure that servicing is carried out by an official service agent.
8 Check engine anode (see cathodic protection).
The cooling system is filled with liquid and should be drained when there is risk of
frost and during
winterisation.
In certain cases a suction action may occur when the
sea water system is being drained. Close all drainage points when the boat is not
under constant supervision. Incorrect drainage can cause the yacht to fill with water
and sink.
Your engine has been installed in precise alignment with the shaft. However, with
flexibly mounted engines it is possible for misalignment to occur, it is good practise
to have it checked when the engine is being serviced.
Care should be taken not to soil the rubber mounts with diesel or lubricants as this
will cause deterioration of the rubber.
