This chapter introduces the
propulsion system-engine

thought of as a complete
workshop manual. This
manual will highlight a
portion of the engine and
drive information Read the
Volvo or MercCruiser engine manual carefully and understand the
operation as well as the necessary maintenance requirements of the
engines and related drive system components before operating the vessel.

or parts needs.
Always begin maneuvering in a controlled environment
where you can practice shifting and docking operations
at your own pace. Learn how the vessel’s engines and
propulsion systems behave at different speeds, in varied sea
conditions, and under light and heavy loads. Always keep
the safety of others in mind as you practice docking.
Learn to monitor the helm gauges, electronic equipment,
and warning systems as they are your on board friends.
Read all safety labels and practices. Review with a crew
member all the component operations in case the captain
would became unable to carry out his duties as skipper.
