During operation
I CAUTION
Never press the START button
when the engine is running.
Check the instruments and warning
lamps after starting, and regularly
when cruising.
Cruising speed
A recommended engine speed is
given in the chapter TECHNICAL
DATA to help you to set your crui-
sing speed.
NOTICE: Always consider sailing
conditions and load of the boat to
set the cruising speed.
Operating the engine at wide open
throttle should be avoided since it
is both uncomfortable and uneco-
nomical.
Note that operating the engine at
a too low rpm for a long period
could lead among other things to
increased oil consumption.
Deposits may also form in the in-
jection system if the engine do not
reach its nominal operating tempe-
rature regularly. Run the engine at
full throttle regularly in order to burn
off any possible deposits in the fuel
system.
Manoeuvring
I WARNING
Shifting at high speed can da-
mage both the engine and the
transmission and be dangerous
for passengers.
I CAUTION
On a twin engine boat, both
engines should be started during
reversing manoeuvres to reduce
the risk of water ingress in the
stationary engine.
Carry out the following operations
for forward / reverse manoeuvres:
1. Reduce engine speed to idling
and, if possible, let the boat lose
most of its speed.
2. Move the control lever to the
neutral position and wait a few
seconds.
3. Move the control lever into
astern. Increase the speed.
