CAUTION
Prolonged cranking intervals without the engine starting can result in filling the exhaust
system attached
to
the engine with sea water coolant. This may happen because
sea
water pump
is
pumping sea water through the sea water cooling system during crank-
ing. This sea water can enter the engine's cylinders by way
of
the exhaust manifold
once the exhaust system
fills. Prevent this from happening by closing the sea water
supply
thru-hull shutoff, drain the exhaust muffler, and correct the cause for the exces-
sive engine cranking needed
to
obtain a start. Engine damage resulting from this type
of
sea water entry
is
not a warrantable issue; the owner/operator should keep this in
mind.
