STARTING THE ENGINE
ELECTRICALLY
NOTICE
If the vessel is equipped with a water lift
(water lock) muffler, excessive cranking
could cause seawater to enter the
cylinders and damage the engine. If the
engine does not start after cranking for 10
seconds, close the thru-hull water intake
valve to avoid filling the muffler with water.
Crank for 10 seconds or until the engine
starts. When the engine does start, stop
the engine immediately and turn the switch
to the OFF position.
1. Open the seacock (if equipped).
2. Open the fuel cock.
3. Put the remote control shift lever in the
NEUTRAL position (Figure 1, (1)).
Note: Safety equipment should make it
impossible to start the engine in
any position other than
NEUTRAL.

4. Turn the master battery switch (if
equipped) to ON.
5. Turn the key switch to the ON position
(Figure 2, (2)). Ensure that the
instrument panel indicators light and
the alarm sounds. This indicates that
the indicators and the alarm are
working correctly.
Note: The water temperature alarm
indicator and water in Sail-Drive
indicator should not come on
during start-up.
