During
Operation
Always be on the lookout for problems
during engine operation.
Pay particular attention
to
the following:
{1) Is s
uffi
ci
ent
water
being
discharged
fr
om
the
s
eawater
outlet
pipe?
If
the discharge is small, stop the engine
Immediately, identify the cause and repair.
{2)
Is the
ex
haust c
olour
normal?
The continuous emission
of
black exhaust
indicates engine overloading. This
shortens the engine's life and should be
avoided.

{3)
Are
there
abnormal
vi
bration
s or
noise?
Do
not
operate at speeds which produce
violent vibrations. Depending on t
he
hull
structure, engine and hull resonance may
suddenly become great at a certain engine
speed range, causing heavy vibrations.
Avoid operation in this speed
range. If you
hear any abnormal sounds, stop the
engine and inspect.

g periods of
time
, race

ce
every

urs
.
Note: Racing the Engine
With the clutch in NEUTRAL, accel-
erate from the
low speed position
to
the high speed position and repeat
this process about 5 times. This is
done
to
clean out carbon from the
cylinders and the fuel injection
valve.
Neglecting to race the engine
will
result in
poor
exhaust colour and
reduce engine performance.
