THE
FIRST
Although your engine has experienced a minimum

The service life
engine is operated and serviced during its initial
use.
Your new engine requires approximately 50 hours
conditioning operation to break in each moving part in order
to maximize the performance and service life
Perform this conditioning carefully, keeping in mind the
following:
1.
Start the engine according to the Starting Procedure
section in this manual; run the engine at fast idle while
checking that all systems (raw water pump, oil pressure,
battery charging) are functioning.
2.
Allow the engine to warm up (preferably by running at fast
idle) until the water temperature gauge moves into the
130° -140°F range.
3.
While using the vessel, run the engine at varying engine
rpms for the first 25 hours.
4. Avoid rapid acceleration, especially with a cold engine.
5. Use caution not to overload the engine. The presence

Each day before starting your engine, take a few moments to
run this check list:

D Check the oil level.
D Check the transmission fluid level.
D Check for loose wires at the alternator.
D Check for loose wires and electrical connections at the

CIRCUIT
RAW
WATER
The raw water flow is created by a positive displacement
impeller pump. This pump draws water directly from the
ocean, lake, or river from a through-hull opening through a
hose to the water strainer. The raw water passes from the
strainer through the pump to a heat exchanger (through the
heat exchanger tubes) where it cools the engine's circulating
fresh water coolant. The raw water is then discharged into the
water injected exhaust elbow, mixing with, and cooling the
exhaust gasses. This mixture
driven through the stem tube and overboard.
Raw

The raw water pump is a self-priming, rotary pump with a
non-ferrous housing and a neoprene impeller. The impeller
has flexible vanes which wipe against a curved cam plate

THERMOSTAT
A thermostat, located near the manifold at the front
engine, controls the coolant temperature as it continuously
flows through the closed cooling circuit. When the engine is
first started the closed thermostat prevents coolant from

the engine warms up the thermostat gradually opens. The
thermostat is accessible and can be checked, cleaned, or
