In Case of Emergency
Despite regular service in accordance with the planned maintenance schedule and perfect operating conditions,
faults may occur that must be remedied before the boat can continue its trip. This chapter provides advice on how
to remedy a number of conceivable faults.
When certain faults occur safety functions engage to protect the engine. The following may occur:
• Engine cannot be started.
• The gear is in neutral and engine speed is limited
• The engine stops
If a fault occurs, confirm any fault alarm and take the necessary measures. Refer to this section and Fault Code
Register, page 106.
Running Aground
The automatic kick-up function releases the drive in the
event of running aground or colliding with an object in
the water. If the function has been triggered and the
drive has kicked up, it must be trimmed back to its
original position using the control buttons.
The kick-up function only protects the drive when
travelling forwards. There is no protection for the drive
when travelling backwards.
After running aground, check that the drive and
propeller are not damaged and that the drive does not
vibrate. If there is damage/vibration, the boat should be
driven (if possible) slowly to a harbor and lifted out of
the water.
Lift the boat ashore. Check the oil level in the drive. If
the oil is gray-colored, water has entered and the drive
must be inspected by an authorized Volvo Penta
workshop. The same applies if there is damage to the
drive.
Replace the propeller if it is damaged.
To prevent galvanic corrosion, any paintwork damage
on the drive and propeller shall be repaired before
launching the boat again.
