Safety Information
Your new boat
Read the instruction books and other information
carefully, which came with your new boat. Learn to
handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a
safe and correct manner.
If this is your first boat, or a type of boat you are not
experienced in using, we recommend that you practice operating the boat in peace and quiet. Get to know
the way the boat reacts to sea and to the controls
under different speed, sea and loading conditions
before you cast off for your first “real” maiden voyage.
Remember that the captain of every boat is required
by law to know and to observe applicable rules for
traffic and safety at sea. Get to know the rules which
apply to you and your waters, by contacting the relevant authority or sea safety organization.
It is a good idea to go on some kind of boat operation
course. We recommend that you contact a regional
boat or sea safety organization to find a suitable
course.
Daily checks
Make it a habit to give the engine and engine bay a
visual check before driving (before starting the
engine) and after operation (when you have stopped
the engine). This helps you to quickly discover
whether any leakage of fuel, coolant, oil or any other
abnormal event has happened, or is about to happen.
Fuel filling
There is always a risk of fire and explosion during fuel
filling. Smoking is not permissible, and the engine
should be stopped.
Never over-fill the tank. Shut the tank cap securely.
Only use the fuel recommended in the instruction
book. The wrong grade of fuel can cause serious malfunctions, power loss or stop the engine.
Do not start the engine
Do not start the engine if you suspect a fuel or LPG
leak in the boat, close to explosive media, or if there
is a spillage of explosive media. An explosive environment entails a risk of fire and/or explosion.
Manoeuvring
Avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and
gear shifting. There is a risk that passengers could fall
over, or overboard.
A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Check
that there is nobody in the water before you engage
forward / astern (reverse) drive. Never drive close to
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
bathers or in areas where you could reasonably
expect that people could be in the water.
Accidents and near misses
Life saving statistics show that inadequate care of
boats and engines, and deficiencies in safety equipment are frequent causes of accidents and near
misses at sea.
Make sure that your boat and engine are maintained
in accordance with the advice in each instruction
book, and that the necessary safety equipment is on
board, and is in working condition.

Carbon monoxide poisoning
P0003073
When a boat moves forwards, an area of low pressure
air forms behind the boat. In adverse conditions, this
low pressure can be so strong that the boat’s own
exhaust fumes are sucked into the cockpit or cabin,
which entails a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning for
all aboard.
The problem of low-pressure suction is worst in high,
wide boats with a square transom. But even in other
types of boats, low-pressure suction can be a problem
in some conditions, such as if you drive with the hood
up. Other factors which increase the low-pressure
effect are wind conditions, load distribution, pitching,
trimming, open windows and ventilators etc.
Safety Information
Most modern boats are designed so that the problem
of low-pressure suction is very rare, however. If lowpressure suction does occur anyway, do not open
hatches or ventilators in the forward part of the boat.
Strangely enough, this makes the problem worse. Try
changing speed, trimming or load distribution instead.
Also try taking down/opening the hood or modifying it
in some other manner. Ask your boat dealer for advice
about the best solution for your particular boat.
Remember
•Safety equipment: Life jackets for everybody aboard, communication equipment, emergency
rockets, approved fire extinguisher, first aid kit, life buoy, anchor, paddle, torches etc.
•Spare parts and tools: Impeller, fuel filters, fuses, tape, hose clamps, engine oil, propeller and
tools for the jobs you could be expected to have to do.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
•Take your chart out and study your planned route. Calculate distance and fuel consumption.
Listen to weather reports.
•Tell your friends/relatives about route plans if you undertake a long journey. Remember to
notify changed plans or delays.
•Inform everybody aboard about where the safety equipment is located, and how it works. Make
sure that there is more than one person aboard who can start and operate the boat safely.
This list can be extended, since the need for safety equipment varies with the type of boat, and
where or how it is used etc. We recommend that you ask a regional boat or sea safety organization
for more detailed maritime safety information.

Safety Information
Preparations
Knowledge
The operator’s manual contains instructions on how
to carry out general maintenance and service operations safely and correctly. Read the instructions carefully before starting work.
Service literature covering more complicated operations is available from your Volvo Penta dealer.
Never carry out any work on the engine if you are
unsure of how it should be done, contact your Volvo
Penta dealer who will be glad to offer assistance.
Stop the engine
Stop the engine before opening or removing engine
hatches. Unless otherwise specified all maintenance
and service must be carried out with the engine stopped.
To prevent accidental start of the boat engine, remove
the ignition key, turn off the power supply to the engine
at the main switches and lock them in the OFF position before starting work. Put up a warning sign in the
control position that work on the engine is being carried out.
Approaching or working on an engine which is running
is a safety risk. Loose clothing, hair, fingers or a dropped tool can be caught in the rotating parts of the
engine and cause serious personal injury. Volvo
Penta recommend that all servicing with the engine
running should be undertaken by an authorized Volvo
Penta workshop.
Lifting the engine
When lifting the engine, use the lifting eyes installed
on the engine (reverse gear where installed). Always
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
check that lifting equipment is in good condition and
has sufficient load capacity to lift the engine (engine
weight including reverse gear and any extra equipment installed). For safety’s sake lift the engine using
an adjustable lifting beam. All chains and cables
should run parallel to each other and as perpendicular
as possible in relation to the top of the engine. Bear
in mind that extra equipment installed on the engine
may alter its center of gravity. Special lifting equipment may then be required in order to maintain the
correct balance and make the engine safe to handle.
Never carry out work on an engine suspended on a
hoist.
Before starting the engine
Reinstall all protective parts removed during service
operations before starting the engine. Check that no
tools or other items have been left on the engine.
Never start a turbocharged engine without installing
the air cleaner (ACL). The rotating compressor in the
Turbocharger unit can cause serious personal injury.
Foreign objects can also be sucked in and cause
mechanical damage to the unit.
Fire and explosion
Fuel and lubrication oil
All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are
inflammable. Read and follow the instructions on the
packaging.
When carrying out work on the fuel system, make sure
the engine is cold. A fuel spill onto a hot surface or
electrical components can cause a fire.
Store fuel soaked rags and other flammable material
so that there is no danger of them catching fire. Fuelsoaked rags can self-ignite under certain conditions.
Do not smoke when filling fuel, oil or in proximity of a
filling station or in the engine room.
Non-original components
Components used in the fuel and electrical systems
on Volvo Penta products are designed and constructed to minimize the risk of fire and explosion.
Using spare parts other than by Volvo Penta
approved spare parts can result in fire or explosion on
board.
Batteries
The batteries contain and emit oxyhydrogen gas,
especially during charging. This gas is easily ignited
and highly volatile.
Do not under any circumstances smoke or use naked
flame or allow sparks in the vicinity of the batteries or
battery compartment.
An incorrect connection of a battery terminal cable or
jump-start cable can cause a spark which in its turn
can be sufficient to cause an explosion.
Start spray
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an
engine equipped with air pre-heating (glow plugs/
starter element). This may cause an explosion in the
inlet manifold. Danger of personal injury.

Safety Information
Hot surfaces and fluids
There is always a risk of burns when working with a
hot engine. Beware of hot surfaces. For example: the
exhaust pipe, turbo unit, oil pan, charge air pipe,
starter element, hot coolant and hot oil in oil lines and
hoses.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area. If operating the engine in an enclosed space, ensure that
there is proper ventilation in order to remove exhaust
gases and crankcase ventilation emissions from the
working area.
Chemicals
Most chemicals such as anti-freeze, rustproofing
agent, inhibiting oil, degreasing agent etc. are hazardous to health. Read and follow the instructions on
the packaging.
Some chemicals such as inhibiting oil are inflammable
and dangerous if breathed in as well. Ensure good
ventilation and use a protective mask when spraying.
Read and follow the instructions on the packaging.
Store chemicals and other hazardous materials out of
the reach of children. To protect the environment,
please dispose of used or leftover chemicals at a
properly designated disposal site for destruction.
Cooling system
There is a risk of flooding when working on the seawater system. Turn off the engine and close the sea
cock (where installed) before starting work on the system.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
Avoid opening the coolant filler cap when the engine
is hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out and cause
burns.
Fuel system
Always use protective gloves when tracing leaks. Liquids ejected under pressure can penetrate body tissue and cause serious injury. There is a danger of
blood poisoning.
Always cover the generator if it is located under the
fuel filter. The generator can be damaged by spilled
fuel.
Electronic Vessel Control (EVC)
The boat has a advanced control system. Never cut
or modify connectors, wiring or splice of the components.
Installing non Volvo Penta components may cause
the system to malfunction.
Service must be done by approved workshops.
Electrical system
Cutting off power
Always stop the engine and break the current using
the main switches before working on the electrical
system. Isolate shore current to the engine block
heater, battery charger, or accessories mounted on
the engine.
Batteries
The batteries contain an extremely corrosive electrolyte. Protect your skin and clothes when charging or
handling batteries. Always use protective goggles and
gloves.
If battery electrolyte comes into contact with unprotected skin, wash off immediately using plenty of
water and soap. If battery acid comes into contact with
the eyes, flush immediately with plenty of water and
obtain medical assistance without delay.
If work must be carried out with the engine at operating temperature and the coolant filler cap or a cock
open or a coolant hose disconnected, open the coolant filler cap carefully and slowly to release pressure
before removing the cap completely. Note that the
coolant may still be hot and can cause burns.
Lubrication system
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot
oil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not under
pressure before commencing work on it. Never start
or operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed,
oil can spray out.

Introduction
This Operator's Manual has been prepared to give you the greatest possible benefit from your Volvo Penta marine
engine. It contains the information you need to be able to operate and maintain the engine safely and correctly.
Please read the Operator's Manual carefully and learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a
safe manner before you cast off on your maiden voyage.
Always have the Operator's Manual available. Store it safely and do not forget to hand it over to the next owner
if you sell your boat.
The Operator’s Manual describes the engine and equipment sold by Volvo Penta. The illustrations in this book
covers several varieties and might differ, the essential information is always correct though. Installations with e.g.
different controls and instrumentation might occur, in these cases we refer to this products manual.
Warranty
Your new Volvo Penta marine engine is covered by a
limited warranty, under the conditions compiled in the
Warranty book.
Please note that AB Volvo Penta’s liability is limited to
the specification in the Warranty book. Read it carefully, as soon as possible after delivery. It includes
important information about warranty cards, service,
maintenance, which it is the responsibility of the
owner to know, check and carry out. If this is not done,
AB Volvo Penta may fully or partly refuse to honour its
warranty undertakings.
Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you
have not received a Warrant book, a Service book
or a customer copy of the warranty card.
Environmental care
All of us want to live in a clean, healthy environment.
Where we can breathe clean air, see healthy trees,
have clean water in lakes and seas, and be able to
enjoy the sunlight without fearing for our health.
Unfortunately, this is not self-evident these days, it is
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
something all of us must work hard for.
As a manufacturer of marine engines, Volvo Penta
has particular responsibility and for this reason, environmental care is a core value in our product development. Volvo Penta has a wide engine programme
these days, where considerable progress has been
made in reducing exhaust fumes, fuel consumption,
engine noise etc.
We hope that you will be want to preserve these values. Always observe the advice in the Operator's
Manual about fuel grades, operation and maintenance, to avoid unnecessary environmental impact.
Please contact your Volvo Penta dealer if you notice
any changes such as increased fuel consumption or
increased exhaust smoke.
Moderate your speed and distance so that wake and
noise do not disturb or damage animal life, moored
boats, jetties etc. Leave the archipelago and harbours
in the same state you would like to find them. Remember to always hand in drained oil, coolant, paint and
wash residue, used batteries etc. for destruction at a
recycling station.
If we all pull together, we can make a valuable contribution to the environment together.
Running in
The engine must be “run in” during its first 10 hours,
as follows:
Use the engine in normal operation. Full load should
only be applied for short periods. Never run the engine
for a long period of time at constant speed during this
period.
Higher oil consumption is normal during the running
in period. For this reason, check the oil level more
frequently than normally recommended.
After the first period of operation, the specified warranty inspection “First service inspection” can be
done. For more information: Please refer to the Maintenance Schedule.
Fuel, oils and coolant
Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the Operator's Manual. Other grades can cause malfunctions,
increased fuel consumption and eventually even
shorten the life of the engine.
Always change the oil, oil filters and fuel filter at the
specified intervals.
Future warranty claims related to engine and accessories may be refused if an unsuitable coolant has
been used, or if the instructions for coolant mixture
have not been followed.

Introduction
Service and spare parts
Volvo Penta marine engines are designed for high
reliability and long life. They are built to withstand a
marine environment, but also to have the smallest
possible environmental impact. Through regular service and use of by Volvo Penta approved spare parts,
these qualities are retained.
Volvo Penta’s world-wide network of authorised dealers is at your service. They are Volvo Penta product
specialists, and have the accessories, original spares,
test equipment and special tools needed for high quality service and repair work.
Always observe the maintenance intervals in the
Operator's manual, and remember to note the engine/
transmission identification number when you order
service and spare parts.
Certified engines
If you own or operate an emission certified engine it
is important to be aware of the following:
Certification means that an engine type has been
checked and approved by the relevant authority. The
engine manufacturer guarantees that all engines
made of the same type are equivalent to the certified
engine.
This makes special demands on the care and
maintenance you give your engine, as follows:
•Maintenance and service intervals recommended by Volvo Penta must be complied with.
•Only Volvo Penta original spares may be used.
•Service on injection pumps, pump settings and
injectors must always be done by an authorised
Volvo Penta workshop.
•The engine must not be converted or modified,
except for the accessories and service kits
which Volvo Penta has approved for the engine.
•Installation changes to the exhaust pipe and
engine air inlet ducts must not be done.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
•No seals may be broken by unauthorised personnel.
The general advice in the Operator's manual about
operation, care and maintenance apply.
Late or inadequate maintenance/service or the use of
spare parts not approved by Volvo Penta will invalidate AB Volvo Penta’s responsibility for the engine
specification being in accordance with the certificated
variant.
Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liability for
any damage or costs arising due to the above.

Instruments and Controls
Controls
This section describes the controls Volvo Penta sells
for your engine. Contact your dealer if your boat is
equipped with controls other than those described
here, and you feel uncertain about their function.
Maneuvering
A single-lever control operates both gearshift and
throttle functions from the same lever.
The engine can only be started with the control lever
in the neutral position.
N = Neutral position. Reverse gear/drive disengaged
and engine at idle.
F = Reverse gear/drive engaged for movement
ahead.
R = Reverse gear/drive engaged for movement
astern.
T = Engine rpm control (throttle).
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
Disconnecting the gearshift function
The gearshift function can be disconnected so that the
control lever only operates the throttle.
1 Put the control lever in neutral (N).
2 Depress the neutral button (1), and keep it
depressed at the same time as the lever is moved
forward.
3 Release the neutral button, the shift function is dis-
engaged and the lever only influences engine revolutions.
The gear shift function is reconnected automatically
when the lever is returned to the neutral position.
CAUTION!
Take care not to engage the gear by mistake.
Adjusting the friction brake
The lever is fitted with a friction brake to allow adjustment for easier or stiffer movement as required. The
friction brake only affects movement of the throttle control lever.
1 Lift away the cover from the control. On side-
mounted controls the lever must be removed first.
2 Move the lever to the half throttle/astern position.
3 Adjust the friction brake by turning the screw clock-
wise (+) for stiffer lever movement, and counterclockwise (-) for easier movement.
4 Replace the cover and the lever.

Operation
Maneuvering
Shifting between ahead and astern must be done at
idle revolutions. Shifting at higher revolutions can be
uncomfortable for those on board and cause unnecessary stress to the transmission or make the engine
stall.
Always shift between ahead and astern in
the following manner:
1 Reduce engine revolutions to idle and allow the
boat to lose most of its speed.
2 Move the control lever to the neutral position with
a quick, firm movement. Pause a moment.
3 Move the control lever back with a quick, firm
movement and increase revolutions.

Operation
Sailing
When sailing, set the control lever to astern if a folding
propeller is fitted.
Is a fixed propeller is fitted the control lever should be
set in neutral or reverse. When using a fixed propeller
and sailing with the control lever set to reverse the
speed is slowed down though less noise is being
made.
Cruising Speed
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
Avoid operations at full throttle for best fuel economy.
We recommend a cruising speed that is around
500-1000 rpm below the maximum rpm at top speed
(full throttle).
Depending on the type of hull, choice of propeller, load
and sea state etc., maximum revolutions at top speed
may vary, but should be within the full throttle range;
refer to the Engines section.

Operation break with the boat in water
If the boat is not used, but left in the water, the engine
must be warmed up at least once every fortnight. This
prevents corrosion damage in the engine.
If you expect the boat to be unused for two months or
more, it must be laid up, please refer to Stor-
age page 64
Operation break with the boat out of water
Where boats are kept laid up on land when not in use,
there is a lower level of galvanic corrosion protection
due to oxidation on the sacrificial anodes. Before
launching the boat the sacrificial anodes on the drive
and shield must be cleaned with emery paper to
remove any oxidation.
If you expect the boat to be unused for two months or
more, it must be laid up, please refer to Stor-age page 64.
IMPORTANT!
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the
galvanic protection.

Freshwater System
The freshwater system is the engine's internal cooling
system that ensures that the engine operates at the
correct temperature. It is a closed system that must
always be filled with a coolant mixture in order to protect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitation
and frost bursting.
IMPORTANT!
Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be
used all year round. This applies even when there is
no risk for frost damage, so that the engine always has
complete corrosion protection.
The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permitted
in Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as the
coolant.
The corrosion protection additives become less effective over time, which means that the coolant must be
changed at regular intervals; refer to MaintenanceSchedule page 31. The cooling system must be
flushed whenever the coolant is changed, refer to
Freshwater system, Flushing.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
Volvo Penta recommend ”Volvo Penta Coolant VCS,
Ready Mixed” or the concentrate ”Volvo Penta Coolant
VCS” mixed with pure water according to specifications, see Water Quality.
Volvo Penta Coolant VCS and VCS Ready Mixed are
based on organic acid technology (OAT). Using other
types of coolant, such as conventional or hybrid types,
can drastically reduce the heat transfer and result in
overheating of the engine.

Coolant, Mixing
WARNING!
All coolant is hazardous and harmful to the environment. Do not consume. Coolant is flammable.
IMPORTANT!
Different types of coolant must not be mixed with each
other!
Mix: 40% “Volvo Penta Coolant” (conc.
coolant)and 60% water
This mixture protects against internal corrosion, cavitation and frost bursting down to –28°C (–18°F). At60%
glycol concentration, the freezing point is lowered to –
54°C (–65°F).
Never mix more than 60% concentrate (Volvo Penta
Coolant) in the coolant. A greater concentration provides reduced cooling effect with the risk for overheating and reduced frost protection.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
The coolant must be mixed with distilled, deionized
water. The water must fulfil the requirements specified
by Volvo Penta; refer toWater Quality.
It is extremely important that the system is filled with
the correct coolant concentration. Mix in a separate
clean vessel before filling the cooling system. Make
sure that the liquids mix.

Seawater System
The raw water system is the engine's external cooling
system. On engines with drives, the raw water pump
sucks in water via the drive, through the control system's oil cooler to the raw water pump. The water then
passes through the raw water filter before being
pumped through the fuel cooler, intercooler, engine oil
cooler and heat exchanger. Finally the water is fed out
through the exhaust elbow, where it is mixed with the
exhaust gases.
On engines with reverse gears, the raw water pump
sucks in water via a raw water intake, after which the
water passes a raw water filter (extra equipment)
before being pumped through the intercooler, heat
exchanger, engine oil cooler and gearbox oil cooler.
Finally the water is fed out through the exhaust elbow,
where it is mixed with the exhaust gases.
WARNING!
Risk of water entry. Water will flow into the boat if any
hose, plug etc. located below the waterline is removed
when the boat is in the water. Always close the sea
cocks. If the boat does not have sea cocks the water
flow must be blocked in a safe manner. If this is not
possible, the boat must be drawn up on land before
work starts.

The following must always be heeded:
1 If shore power is connected it must always be
ground protected ashore, never in the boat. Furthermore, the shore power installation should be
equipped with a ground fault interrupter.
The shore power installation (transformer, inverter,
battery charger etc.) must be designed for marine
use where the high-tension side is galvanically separated from the low-tension side.
2 Electrical cables must be run and clamped such
that there is no risk of exposure to chafing, damp or
bilge water.
3 Ground protection for radios, navigation instru-
ments, rudder, boarding ladders or other equipment
where separate cables for ground protection are
present, must be clustered to a common ground
connection (B) that is not connected to the engine
or transmission.
IMPORTANT!
Neither the engine nor transmission may ever be
used as a ground.
The S-drive is insulated electrically (A) from the
engine and may never be used as the ground or be
connected electrically to other equipment such as
radios, navigation equipment, rudder, and boarding
ladders.

4 The start battery must have a main switch (C) con-
nected to the battery's plus (+) side. The main
switch must break the circuit to all equipment and
be switched off when the boat is not in use.
5 If an auxiliary battery is used, a main switch must
be placed between the auxiliary battery's plus (+)
terminal and the circuit breaker panel for the boat's
electrical equipment. The main switch must break
the circuit to all equipment connected to the auxiliary battery and must be switched off when power is
no longer required. All equipment connected to the

Maintenance
Transmission Oil, Change
1 Pull out the oil dipstick.
2 Remove the plug from the propeller gear transmis-
sion housing and allow the oil to run out.
Check that the plug O-ring is fault free; replace as
necessary.
3 Install the plug and O-ring.
4 Fill with oil to the correct level through the oil dip-
stick hole. For oil grade and quantity, refer to the
Technical Data page 71 section.
It is also possible to replace oil without laying up the
boat, e.g. if the oil change interval is reached during
the season. Pump out the oil through a suction pipe
using an oil drain pump – this method leaves approx.
0.5 liter (0.15 US gal) remaining in the stern drive. Fill
with oil to the correct level through the oil dipstick hole.
For oil grade, refer to the Technical Data page 71
section.

The oil should have a golden brown nuance. If the oil
is gray, water has entered the stern drive. In this case
let a Volvo Penta workshop carry out checks on the
stern drive.

Maintenance
Corrosion protection, checking and
changing
Check the sacrificial anode (1) on the stern drive and
the three sacrificial anodes (2) on the propeller regularly. Replace with new anodes when approximately
1/3 of an anode has corroded away.
When the boat is stored ashore, corrosion protection
deteriorates due to oxidization of sacrificial anodes in
contact with air. Even new anodes may have surface
oxidation. Before launching the sacrificial anodes must
be cleaned with emery cloth.
IMPORTANT!
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other steel
tools when cleaning, as these may damage the galvanic
protection.

Replacing sacrificial anodes
1 Remove the sacrificial anodes and thoroughly
scrape clean the contact surfaces on the stern drive
and propellers.
2 Apply thread locking fluid to the bolts to the propel-
ler sacrificial anodes.
3 Install the new sacrificial anodes and fasten them
to ensure good metallic contact.
Rubber Sealing
Check the rubber seal between the drive and the hullregularly for cracks and wear.
IMPORTANT!

Storage
Have an authorized Volvo Penta workshop carry out checks on the engine and other equipment before the boat
is put into winter storage. Make sure all necessary repairs and service are completed so that the boat is in top
condition before the next season.
Conservation is performed to ensure that the engine and drive train are not damaged by non-use during winter
storage. It is important that conservation is carried out in the correct manner, and that nothing is forgotten. For
this reason, we have compiled a check list of the most important points.
CAUTION!
Read the chapter on Maintenance before starting work. It contains instructions on how to carry out maintenance
and service operations in a safe and correct manner.
The engine and other equipment must be laid up to
prevent damage if they are not to be used for two
months or more. It is important that this is done in the
correct manner, and that nothing is forgotten. For this
reason, we have compiled a check list of the most
important points.
Storage
It is best to carry out the following while the boat
is still in the water:
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
Change engine oil and oil filters.
•
Replace oil in the reverse gear.
•
Change the fuel filter. Replace the fuel pre-filter if
•
such is fitted.
Run engine to normal operating temperature.
•
It is best to carry out the following when the boatis
out of the water:
Clean the hull and stern drive immediately after the-
•
boat is taken out of the water (before they dry).
Take care when cleaning with a high pressure jet.
Never direct the water jet at the propeller shaft seal,
grommets etc.
Change oil in the drive.
•

Painting the Drive and
Underwater Hull
Stern drive
Paint damage must be remedied before the stern drive
is treated with anti-fouling agents.
Most countries have introduced legislation that regulates the use of anti-fouling agents. Anti-fouling agents
must be approved for use in those waters where the
boat will be deployed. Check what applies where you
intend to use the boat. Where anti-fouling agents are
not permitted, we recommend brushing pure Teflon®*
on the original stern drive paint without prior sanding.
1 Lightly sand metal surfaces using emery paper
grade 120. Use a finer grade of paper on painted
surfaces.
2 Wash with cellulose thinners or an equivalent.
47702088 - Downloaded from www.volvopenta.com 02/06/2011 18:54:55
3 Spackle and sand smooth any pores in the surface.
4 Paint with Volvo Penta original primer and paint.
Allow to dry.
5 Paint the stern drive with anti-fouling agent for alu-
minum drives according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
IMPORTANT!
The sacrificial anodes on the drive must not be painted
or treated with Teflon. This also applies to stainless or
bronze propellers.
*Teflon is a registered trademark of the DuPont Corporation.
Boat hull
All paints containing anti-fouling agents are poisonous
and damage the marine environment. Avoid these
preparations. Most countries have introduced legislation that regulates the use of anti-fouling agents.
Always follow these regulations. In many cases it is
strictly forbidden to use anti-fouling agents on leisure
craft.
On boats that are relatively easy to take out of water
we recommend treatment using Teflon alone, in conjunction with mechanical cleaning several times per
season. However, for larger boats this is not practicable. If the boat is in an area where the water causes
fast fouling, paints with anti-fouling agents will most
likely be necessary. In such cases, use copper-based
paint that contains cuprous cyanide and not copper
oxide.
Tin-based agents (TBT paints) may not be used. Find
out about legislation applicable in the area where the
boat is used. Allow the paint to dry before launching
the boat.
