After the Engine has Started
After the engine has started, check the
following items at a low engine speed:
1.
Check that the gauges and alarm
devices on the instrument panel are
normal.
2.
Check for water or oil leakage from the
engine.
3.
Check that exhaust colour, engine vi-
brations and sound are
normal.
4.
When there are no problems, keep the
engine at
low speed with the boat still
stopped
to
send lube oil
to
all parts
of
the engine.
5.
Check that sufficient cooling water is
discharged from the seawater
outlet
pipe. Operation with
too
small seawater
discharge
will burn the impeller
of
the
seawater pump.
If seawater discharge is
too
small, stop the engine immediately.
Identify
the cause and repair.
