Stopping the
engine
I CAUTION
Never stop the engine by using
the main switch. This could da-
mage the electrical system.
Before stopping the engine, let it
run at idle in neutral for few min-
utes, especially if the engine has
been operated at high speed and
load. This will allow the coolant to
cool down the engine.
1. Start the fan in the engine
compartment (if fitted) or open
the hold.
2. Turn the key in the starter
switch counter-clockwise, the
engine stops and all indicators
turn off. The engine stops, all
lamps go out. For panel without
key, press the ON/STOP button
and release it. The engine stops.
Turn the key of the main panel
counter-clockwise. All indicators
turn off.
I CAUTION
Even after the engine has
stopped, some components and
fluids remain hot and pressuri-
sed for several minutes. As far
as possible, limit work on the en-
gine immediately after stopping
it, when it is hot.
After the engine has stopped:
1. Switch off the main switch.
2. Close the sea cock and the fuel
cock.
3. Inspect the engine compart-
ment and check for any leaks.
I CAUTION
If the boat is being towed,
put the lever in neutral, stop the
engine and close the sea cock
to prevent the engine from being
filled with raw water.
On a twin-engine boat, if
cruising with a single engine,
close the sea cock of the
stopped engine.
Do not forget to open the sea
cock before restarting the en-
gine.
