WARNING!
Do not start the engine if there is reason to suspect fuel
leaks or if there is explosive material nearby.
Make it a habit to give the engine and engine
compartment a visual check before the engine is
started and after operations, once the engine has
stopped. This helps you to quickly discover fuel,
coolant or oil leakages or any other abnormality that
has occurred, or is about to occur.
P0024482
Personal safety equipment
CAUTION!
Always use appropriate safety equipment. Personal
protective equipment does not eliminate the risk of
injury but it will reduce the degree of injury if an
accident does happen.
Some examples are ear protection, eye and face
protection, protective footwear, personal protective
equipment, head protection, protective clothing,
gloves and respirators.
WARNING!
Ensure that all machine guards and safety devices are
in place and are functional.
CAUTION!
Never use tools or products that show signs of
damage.

splintering, sparks and spray from the electrolyte (socalled battery acid), or other chemicals. Your eyes are
very delicate and damage can result in loss of sight!
Protect your skin
CAUTION!
Risk of skin damage.
Avoid getting oil on your skin! Prolonged or repeated
exposure to oil can dry out the skin. Thereafter,
irritation, dryness and eczema and other skin problems
may occur.
Use protective gloves and avoid oil-soaked clothes
and rags. Wash regularly, especially before eating.
Wear suitable protective creams to prevent skin from
drying out and to facilitate cleaning.
P0024470
Fire safety
WARNING!
Fire and Explosion Risk!
Accidental spark could ignite fuel vapors.
All fuels – as well as many lubricants and chemicals –
are flammable. Do not allow open flames or sparks
near them. Smoking forbidden! Hydrogen from the
batteries is also very flammable and explosive in
certain mixture with air.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated and take
the necessary precautions before welding or grinding
begins. Always ensure that there is a fire extinguisher
close at hand in the work area.
Always use spare parts with the same quality as
genuine Volvo Penta parts to minimize the risk of an
explosion or fire.
Components in fuel systems and electrical systems on
Volvo Penta engines are designed and manufactured
to minimize the risk of explosions and fire, in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Used oils, filters and chemicals etc.
WARNING!
Risk of fire.
Store fuel soaked rags and other flammable material
so that there is no danger of them catching fire.
Oil-soaked rags can spontaneously ignite under
certain circumstances.
P0024481
IMPORTANT:
Used fuel and oil filters are environmentally hazardous
waste and must be taken to an approved waste
management facility for correct handling, as must any
used lubricating oil, contaminated fuel, paint residue,
solvents, degreasers and wash residue.
Prevent start of the engine
WARNING!
Immobilize the engine by turning off the power supply
with the main switch(es) and lock it (them) in the off
position before starting work. Place a warning notice
at the main switch.
If the engine is equipped with BMS (Battery
Management System), always disconnect both battery
cables from the battery terminals.
Ventilation when running the engine
WARNING!
Only start the engine in a well-ventilated area. If
operating the engine in a closed area ensure that there
is exhaust ventilation leading out of the work area to
remove exhaust gases and crankcase ventilation
emissions.
The engine must not be operated in areas where there
are explosive materials or stored gas.
Working with or approaching a running engine is a
safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hot
surfaces.
If the engine is in operation and operates another
device, you must not, under any circumstances,
staying close to the engine.
Work on running engines is strictly prohibited. There
are however adjustments that require the engine to be
run. Approaching a running engine is a safety risk.
Loose clothing and long hair can get caught in the
rotating parts; careless movements or a dropped tool
can lead to serious personal injury.
Be careful to avoid hot surfaces (exhaust pipes,
turbochargers, charge air manifolds, start elements
etc.) and hot fluids in pipes and hoses on engines that
are running or have just stopped. Re-install all
protective covers that were removed during
maintenance work before starting the engine.
P0024483
Information on the engine
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that all warning and information decals on
the product are always visible. Replace decals which
have been damaged or painted over.
Prohibition on use of start spray
WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an
engine. This may cause an explosion in the inlet
manifold. Risk of personal injury.
Never start the engine if there is reason to suspect fuel
and/or gas leaks, or if there is explosive material
nearby.
IMPORTANT:
Only start the engine with the air filter and protective
caps fitted. Foreign objects in the inlet line could cause
machine damage. Also make sure that no tools or other
parts have been left next to the engine.
WARNING!
Never start the engine with the valve cover removed.
There is a risk of personal injury.
For engines with turbochargers, the rotating
compressor turbine can in addition cause serious
personal injuries.
Before any work on the electrical system
WARNING!
Always stop the engine first. Then disconnect the
current at the main switches and any external power
supply before working on the electrical system – to
minimize the risk of electrical hazards.
IMPORTANT:
Never disconnect the current using the main switches
when the engine is running or by disconnecting the
battery cables.
The alternator and electronics could be damaged.
Avoid damage to the engine control
module and other electronics
IMPORTANT:
Switch off the main switch before connecting or
disconnecting a connector.
Before welding work
IMPORTANT:
Before any work with electric weld can begin, the
connection to all control units must be disconnected.
After finished welding, re-connect the connection to all
control units before connecting any battery cable.
Before any work on the cooling system
WARNING!
Stop the engine and let it cool before starting work on
the cooling system. Hot fluids and hot surfaces can
cause burns.
If a launched boat is equipped with sea water tap and
safety valve, ensure that these are closed before any
work is allowed to begin on the cooling system.
Remember to open the tap and valve before starting
the engine!
Hot coolant under pressure
CAUTION!
Hot coolant can cause burns. Avoid opening the filler
cap for the coolant when the engine is still hot. Steam
or hot coolant can spray out and system pressure is
lost.
Open the filler cap slowly and release the pressure in
the cooling system if the filler cap or valve must be
opened – or if a plug or a coolant hose must be
removed from a hot engine.
Hot oil under pressure
CAUTION!
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid getting hot oil on the
skin. Ensure that the lubrication system is not
pressurized before starting any work. Never start or
operate the engine without the oil filler cap is on. There
is a risk that hot oil can spray out.
Refueling
WARNING!
There is always a risk of fire and explosion during
refueling. Smoking is forbidden and the engine must
be stopped.
Proper fuel quality
IMPORTANT:
Always use the fuel recommended by Volvo Penta.
See Technical Data in Operator’s Manual. Other fuel
can damage the engine.
Wrong fuel quality can also lead to higher service
costs.
Risk of personal injury.
Wrong fuel quality in a diesel engine can cause the fuel
control mechanism to bind which can cause the engine
to overspeed!
Page 13
P0024488
Safety Information
Legal requirements to use proper fuel
IMPORTANT:
To meet regulatory requirements for certified emission
levels must always recommended fuel according to
Technical Data in the Operator’s Manual be used.
At any leak detection on the fuel system
WARNING!
Wear safety goggles!
Be extremely careful when searching for leaks in the
fuel system high-pressure circuits. There is very high
pressure in the jet from pipes and injectors. The fuel
may penetrate the tissue and cause serious risk of
blood infection (septicemia).
Handling of fuel pipes
IMPORTANT:
High pressure pipes for fuel must not be bent or
straightened under any circumstances. Cracks may
occur. Damaged pipes must be replaced.
P0024468
Safe handling of batteries
WARNING!
Risk of fire and explosion. Never allow an open flame
or electric sparks near the batteries.
A spark caused by an incorrectly connected battery
can be enough for the battery to explode with serious
injuries.
Do not touch the connections during start attempts.
Sparking hazard! Do not lean over batteries.
Correct polarity of the batteries
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) battery
cables are correctly connected to the corresponding
battery terminals. Wrong connection may cause
severe damage to electrical equipment.
A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Check
that nobody is in the water before engaging ahead or
astern. Never drive near bathers or in areas where
people could be in the water.
To avoid passengers falling overboard, refrain from
extreme and sudden rudder movements and ahead/
astern movements.
Lanyard switch
We recommend installing and using a lanyard switch
(optional), especially if the boat is capable of high
speeds. The lanyard switch stops the engine if the
driver looses control of the boat.
Accidents at sea
Maritime rescue statistics show that a large number of
boat accidents are caused by inadequate engine and
boat maintenance and the lack of safety equipment.
Make sure that the boat engine is properly maintained
by making sure that the recommended service is
performed, and that necessary safety equipment is
available and functional.
Stern turbulence
WARNING!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning. When the boat moves
forward, an area of lower pressure air is formed behind
the boat — so-called turbulence. In certain conditions,
this turbulence can be powerful enough to draw the
exhaust fumes into the cockpit or cabin, creating a risk
of carbon monoxide poisoning to people on board.
The turbulence problem is most pronounced on tall,
broad-beamed boats with a transom stern. But even
for other boat types, low-pressure suction can be a
problem in certain conditions, such as driving with
cockpit awnings rigged. Other factors that can increase
the effect of turbulence are wind conditions, load
distribution, swell, trim, open hatches and ventilators
etc.
Most modern boats are, however, designed so that the
problem of low-pressure suction is very rare. Should
turbulence nevertheless occur, hatches or ventilators
must not be opened since this might exacerbate the
problem. Instead, try to change the speed, trim or load
distribution. If possible, take down or open the cockpit
awning. Contact your boat dealer for the best solution
for your boat.
The lists below includes some tips on what to
remember to bring on any boat trip. The list can be
extended since the need for safety equipment varies
with the boat type and where or how it is used etc. We
recommend you ask a regional boat or sea safety
organization for more detailed maritime safety
information.
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.
Check that you heave received the correct
operator’s manual before continuing reading. If
not, please contact your Volvo Penta dealer. Read
the Operator’s Manual carefully and learn to handle the
engine, controls and other equipment in a safe manner
before you start the engine.
For engine designations, refer to TechnicalData, page 79. The designation is stated on the
engine plate, refer to Technical Data, page 84.

Running in the engine
The engine must be run in during the first 10 hours of
operation. Do this by using the engine in normal
operation, where full load is only applied for short
periods of time. Never run the engine at constant
speed for any longer periods of time.
Since oil consumption is higher during the running in
period, be sure to control the oil level more frequently
than normally recommended. See Maintenance for
more information.
Only use the fuels and oils recommended in the
Operator’s Manual, since other grades may cause
malfunctions, increased fuel consumption and
possibly shorten the life of the engine.
Always change the oil, oil filters and fuel filters at the
specified maintenance intervals.
Make sure to always use suitable and correctly mixed
coolant.
Future warranty claims related to engine and
accessories may be denied if an unsuitable coolant
has been used, or if the instructions for coolant mixture
have not been followed.
Maintenance and replacement parts
Volvo Penta engines are designed for maximum
reliability and long life and built to withstand a
demanding environment. The engines are also
designed to have a minimal environmental impact.
These qualities will be maintained through regular
servicing and the use of spare parts with the same

- Temperature: °C, °F
Calibration: the engine must be switched on during
calibration.
Depth compensation
Setting the Volvo Penta echo sounder. The echosounder can be installed anywhere between the
waterline and the boat's deepest point. Set the
deviation – off set – so that the display value shows
one of these points.
To adjust the value up (+), set the distance between
the echo-sounder and the waterline; to adjust the value
down (–), set the distance between the echo-sounder
and the boat's deepest point. The value can be set in
0.1 unit stages.
Store the set value by depressing BACK (button 5).
The speed factor must be set while the boat is under
way. Compare the displayed boat speed value with
GPS data (or another boat) and adjust the speed factor
until the values agree.
The speed sensor calibration value can be adjusted
upwards (+) or downwards (-) in stages of 0.01 units
(+ or - 1%). Store the adjusted value by depressing
BACK (button 5).
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).
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
disengaged and the lever only influences engine
revolutions.
The gear shift function is reconnected automatically
when the lever is returned to the neutral position.
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
clockwise (+) for stiffer lever movement, and
counterclockwise (-) for easier movement.
Make a habit of visually checking the engine, engine bay and transmission before start. This will help you to
discover quickly if anything abnormal has occurred, or is about to occur. Also check that instruments and warning
displays show normal values when you have started the engine.
To minimize cold start smoke we recommend you install an engine heater or engine bay heater if temperatures
below +5°C (41°F) are encountered.
WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an engine. This may cause an explosion in the inlet manifold. Risk
of personal injury.
Before Starting
Check the engine and transmission oil levels.
•
Check coolant level.
•
Open the sea cock.
•
Open the fuel cock.
•
Turn the main switch(es) on.
•
IMPORTANT:
Never disconnect the current using the main
switches when the engine is running or by
disconnecting the battery cables.
The alternator and electronics could be damaged.
Start the engine bay fan, where fitted, and allow it to
•
run for at least four minutes.
Check that there is sufficient fuel for the planned trip.
Activate the control panel by depressing the on/off
button (1). The Volvo Penta logo is displayed in the
window. Two audible signals are sounded to indicate
the system is ready and that the engine may be started.
Check the tachometer
If an operational fault occurs an audible alarm will
sound and a symbol will flash in the tachometer
window. Refer to theFault handling, page 41 chapter
for more detailed information and recommended
actions.
Check the alarm instrument (accessory).
The lamps in the alarm instrument light up each time the
ignition is turned on. Check that all lamps light up and
then extinguish. If any lamp flashes, a fault has been
registered; refer to the Fault handling, page 41 chapter
for more detailed information and recommended
actions.
Start the engine
Press the start button (4). Release the start button as
soon as the engine starts.
The pre-heating symbol is displayed in the tachometer
window. Pre-heating is automatic and lasts for 20
seconds.
Pre-heating only takes place if engine temperature is
below 50° (122° F).
Pre-heating may be activated before the engine is
started by depressing the start button (4) for a short
moment. Pre-heating will continue for 20 seconds. The
pre-heating symbol is displayed in the tachometer
window.
If the starter motor is engaged for its maximum
activation time (30 seconds), the starter motor circuit
is cut automatically to protect the starter motor from
overheating. If possible, leave the starter motor to cool
for at least five minutes before making a new start
attempt.
Read off the instruments and warm up the
engine
Allow the engine to idle for the first 10 seconds. Read
off the instruments and check that they show normal
values. Check that no warning lamps are flashing. If
any lamp flashes, a fault has been registered; refer to
the Fault handling, page 41 chapter for more detailed
information and recommended actions.
Warm up the engine at low speed and low load, so that
normal working temperature is reached before full
power is applied.
Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and proper manner before casting off on your
maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden and extreme rudder maneuvers and gear shifts. There is a risk for
passengers and crew falling over or falling overboard.
WARNING!
A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Check that nobody is in the water before engaging ahead or astern.
Never drive near bathers or in areas where people could be in the water.
Reading the Instruments
Read off the instruments and alarm display
immediately after start, and then regularly during
operation.
Alarms
If an alarm is tripped, an audible alarm will sound and
a symbol will flash in the tachometer window (1).
If optional equipment such as alarm instruments or an
EVC display are installed, the relevant warning lamp
will flash there also.
1 Reduce engine speed to idle.
2 Cancel the alarm by depressing the multi-function
button (2).
The audible alarm will be silenced. The symbol will
be lit continuously until the fault is remedied
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
When sailing, set the control lever to astern if a folding
propeller is fitted.
If a fixed propeller is fitted the control lever should be
set to 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.
IMPORTANT:
If a fixed propeller is fitted the engine needs to be
started and kept running for five minutes every fourth
hour of sailing to avoid problems with the transmission
system. The control lever must be set to neutral during
the whole procedure.
Cruising Speed
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.
Allow the engine to run at low idle, in neutral, for a few minutes after operations are completed. In this way afterboiling is avoided at the same time as temperature equalization takes place. This is especially important when
the engine has been run under heavy load at high rpm .
Stop the Engine
Press the Stop button (3) until the engine stops
running.
Press the On/Off button (1) to cut the power to the
system.
If the engine is stopped and the ignition still turned on,
an alarm sounds after 10 seconds to prevent the
ignition is left on unintentionally and the battery will
become discharged.
Silence the alarm by turning the ignition off, or reset
the alarm with the multifunction button (2) if the ignition
is to be turned on.
Auxiliary stop
If the engine cannot be stopped in a normal procedure,
it is possible to stop the engine via the auxiliary stop
(A) mounted on the side of the engine.
preventive maintenance according to the
maintenance schedule.
Boats with stern drives: Trim the stern drive down to
•
maximum to protect the trim ram piston's untreated
surfaces from fouling.
If there is a risk of the boat striking bottom with the
stern drive, the drive must instead be trimmed up to
the maximum lift position.
Turn off the main switch before any long stoppage.
•
NOTICE! Depending on the model and setup, there
could be more than one switch.
NOTICE! Do not turn off the main switch within 30
seconds after turning off the ignition. This in order to
save engine data to the engine control unit.
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 inhibited, please refer to
Storage, page 75
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 inhibited, please refer to
Storage, page 75.
IMPORTANT:
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the
galvanic protection.
Cold Weather Precautions
If the engine bay cannot be kept frost free, the sea
water system must be drained and the freshwater
system coolant must have sufficient freeze protection
to prevent freeze bursting; refer to
Maintenance, page 58 and Seawater System,
Draining, page 61 respectively for more detailed
information.
Check the charge status of the battery. A poorlycharged battery can freeze and burst.
Despite regular maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and perfect operation conditions, faults that
need to be attended to during travel, may occur. This chapter describes some possible alarms and fault handling.
Note that the content of this chapter does not provide full coverage of the possible fault messages and alarms.
Contact a Volvo Penta workshop for assistance with diagnostic readouts and unresolved faults.
If an operational fault arises an audible alarm will
sound and a symbol will flash in the tachometer
window(1) If optional equipment such as an alarm
monitor or an EVC display are installed, the relevant
warning lamp will flash there also.

Make a habit of visually checking the engine and
engine bay before starting, and after operations when
you have stopped the engine. This will help you to
quickly discover abnormalities, or if something is about
to happen.
Look especially carefully for oil, fuel and coolant
leakages, loose bolts, worn or poorly-tensioned drive
belts, loose cable connections, damaged electrical
cables and hoses. This inspection only takes a few
minutes and can prevent serious malfunctions and
expensive repairs.
WARNING!
Risk of fire.
Remove all accumulations of fuel, oil and grease when
detected on the engine or in the engine room.
WARNING!
If an oil, fuel or coolant leak is detected, the cause must
be investigated and the fault rectified before the engine
is started.
Never direct the jet from a high-pressure washer at
seals, rubber hoses or electrical components. Never
use the high pressure setting for engine cleaning.
Stop the engine before doing any maintenance work.
Check belt tensions and condition regularly. A belt that
is tensioned too tightly may damage bearings, while a
belt too-loosely tensioned may slip.
Check and adjust the belt after operation, while the belt
is still warm.
A correctly-tensioned belt should be possible to
depress approx. 10 mm (0.4”) between the pulleys.
IMPORTANT!

Oil change intervals can vary depending on oil grade
and sulphur content of the fuel, please refer to
Technical Data, page 80.
Oil change intervals must never exceed a period of 12
months.
If you want longer oil change intervals than stated in
the table Technical Data, page 80, the condition of
the oil must be checked by the oil manufacturers
through regular oil testing.
Oil level, checking and topping up
The oil level must be within the marked area on the oil
dipstick and must be checked daily before the first
start.
IMPORTANT:
Do not fill up above the maximum oil level. Only use a
recommended grade and quality of oil.
1 Fill oil slowly through the oil filler on top of the
engine (1) or at the side (2).
2 Wait 5 minutes so that the oil has time to run down
Only use the grades of fuel recommended in the fuel
specification, see Technical Data, page 81. Always
observe the greatest cleanliness during re-fuelling and
work on the fuel system.
All work on the unit injectors of the engine must be
carried out by an authorized workshop.
WARNING!
Fire hazard. When carrying out work on the fuel system
make sure the engine is cold. A fuel spill onto a hot
surface or an electrical component can cause a fire.
Store fuel soaked rags so that they cannot cause fire.
Engine Fuel Filter Replacement
1 Clean the filter bracket.
Avoid fuel spills by placing a plastic bag around the
filter
2 Unscrew the filter
3 Apply a film of oil on the new filter gasket.
4 Screw the filter on by hand until it touches the
contact surface. Then tighten an extra half turn, no
more!
5 Purge the fuel system, refer to the Fuel system,
The fuel system must be purged after a filter change,
if the fuel tank has been run dry and after a long-term
stoppage.
1 Open the purge screw (1) on the fuel filter console
approx. three turns. Avoid fuel spills; use rags to
soak up fuel at the purging point.
2 Pump fuel up with the hand pump (2) until fuel
without air bubbles can be seen. Continue pumping
and tighten the purging screw at the same time.
3 Start the engine and check for leaks.
Fuel pre-filter
The fuel pre-filter is an optional extra.
Draining
Wait a few hours after the engine has been turned off
before draining the filter.
Position a container under the fuel filter. Drain off water
and contaminants using the cock/plug at the bottom of
the filter bowl.
Replacing filter insert
1 Close fuel cock at the fuel tank. Position a
containerunder the fuel filter.
2 Remove the filter bowl by undoing screw (1).
3 Empty and clean the filter bowl. Replace insert and
reinstall the bowl.
4 Open fuel cock.
5 Vent the fuel system, please refer to section Fuel
system, bleeding, page 57.
6 Start the engine and check for leaks.
7 Deposit the old filter insert at a properly designated
The cooling system ensures that the engine operates
at the correct temperature. It is a closed system that
should always be filled with a coolant mixture.
IMPORTANT:
Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be
used all year round to protect the engine against
internal corrosion, cavitation and freeze bursting.
This even applies when there is no risk for freeze
damage, to make sure the engine always has a
complete corrosion protection.
Therefore, the use of anti-corrosion agents alone, or
water alone as a coolant, is not permitted in Volvo
Penta engines.
The coolant must be based on Organic Acid
Technology (OAT). Using an improper coolant or
mixing with another coolant will rapidly reduce the
performance and lifetime of the engine. Material
incompatibility can lead to leakages, which - in the
worst case - can cause engine breakdown.
Volvo Penta strongly recommend the use of our own
coolants, ”Volvo Penta Coolant VCS Ready Mixed” or
the concentrate ”Volvo Penta Coolant VCS”, which
ensure the protection of the cooling system
components from corrosion, ageing, swelling and
cracking, thereby ensuring optimal engine lifetime.
Over time the corrosion protection additives become
less effective, and consequently the coolant must be
changed at regular intervals to maintain sufficient
protection of the engine. The latest Service Protocol
that specifies service intervals can be found at
volvopenta.com.
Coolant, Mixing
It is extremely important that the system is filled with
the correct coolant concentration; refer to TechnicalData, page 82.
The coolant should be mixed with distilled, deionized
water. For Volvo Penta specified water requirements;
refer to Technical Data, page 82.
NOTICE! If water quality can not be guaranteed, use
ready mixed coolant.
Do not open the coolant filler cap when the engine is
hot, except in emergencies, as this could cause
serious personal injury. Steam or hot fluid could spray
out.
1 Turn the filler cap slowly counter-clockwise and
release any pressure from the system before
removing the cap completely.
2 Top up with coolant as necessary. The coolant level
must be between the MAX and MIN marks on the
expansion tank.
3 Screw on the filler cap.
When filling a completely empty system the coolant
level must be checked after the engine has been run
for an hour or so, as the system is self purging. Top up
with coolant as necessary.
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.
Risk of water entry. Close the seawater cocks before
doing any work on the seawater system.
To prevent freeze bursting, the raw water system must
be drained during cold weather when there is a risk of
freezing. An alternative to draining is to keep the
engine bay warm using an approved heater fan.
NOTICE!
Do not connect the hose to the oil cooler on the reverse
gear (6) for D1–13 and D1–20 engines. The oil cooler
is only active for larger engines.
Note that all raw water must be drained and that the
draining process must be adapted to suit the engine
installation and any auxiliary equipment connected to
it, such as a raw water filter (2), vacuum valve (8),
exhaust riser and drain tap (9) and silencer (7) etc.
1 Close the sea cock (1).
2 Remove the cover and the sealing plate on the raw
water filter (2).
3 Remove the cover (3) from the raw water pump and
let the water run out.
4 Open the drain tap (4) on the heat exchanger side
panel and drain off the water.
5 Loosen the hoses at the arrows (5) and empty them
of water.
6 Connect a hose to the drain tap on the riser (9) and
lead it into a container. Open the tap and drain off
the water. Close the tap.
7 Remove the hose (6) on the reverse gear oil cooler
and drain off the water.
8 Drain the silencer (7), the exhaust system and other
auxiliary equipment connected to the raw water and
exhaust systems.
9 Reinstall all hoses, the raw water pump cover and
the raw water filter cover and sealing plate. Close
the heat exchanger drain tap.
10 Open the raw water tap when the boat is returned
to operations.
Check that no leakage exists in the raw water
system.
The raw water system must be flushed with fresh
water, to prevent deposits and salt crystals from
building up inside it. The system must also be
conserved when the boat is laid up for winter or out-ofseason storage so that it is protected from internal
corrosion.
WARNING!
Risk of water entry.
Carry out cleaning and inhibiting the seawater system
the boat on land.
WARNING!
Working with or approaching a running engine is a
safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hot
surfaces.
1 Open the sea cock (1).
2 Remove the hose from the sea cock (1) or from the
outlet side of the raw water filter (2) if such is fitted
to the engine.
3 Put the free end of the hose into a bucket of
freshwater. Proceed with refilling.
IMPORTANT!
The impeller will be damaged if it is run dry.
4 Check that there is no one in the vicinity of the
propeller and that nothing risks being spattered by
the exhaust outlet.
5 Set the control lever to neutral and start the engine.
Let it run at fast idle for a few minutes. Stop the
engine.
6 Fill the bucket with an antifreeze solution (40%
Volvo Penta Coolant and 60% freshwater) and
arrange for the collection of the solution throughput.
7 Start the engine and let it idle. Stop the engine just
before the mixture is depleted. Repeat until the
entire system has been flushed with the mixture.
8 Reconnect the removed hose.
9 The system is now conserved. The glycol mixture
should remain in the system during storage.
Before launching the boat, drain the mixture and
hand it to a re-cycling station.
Risk of water entry. Close the seawater cocks before
doing any work on the seawater system.
If the water where the boat is used contains
contaminants, seaweed, etc. the filter should be
checked more frequently than stated in the
maintenance schedule. Otherwise there is a risk that
the filter may be blocked resulting engine overheating.
1 Close the sea cock.
2 Unscrew the cover (1) and remove the sealing plate
(2).
3 Lift out the insert (3) and clean it.
4 Replace parts as illustrated.
5 Open the sea cock and check for leaks.
Vacuum Valve
Certain configurations have a vacuum valve installed
in the raw water system.
WARNING!
Risk of water entry. Close the seawater cocks before
doing any work on the seawater system.
The engine is equipped with a 2-pole electrical system
and an alternator. System voltage is 12V.
WARNING!
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,

engine is running, the alternator and electronics can be
damaged. For the same reason the charging circuits
must never be re-connected with the engine running.
Fuses
The engine is equipped with a strip fuse.
The fuse cut the power if the electrical system
becomes overloaded.
If it is not possible to start the engine or if the gauges
stop working during operations the fuse may have
deployed.
IMPORTANT:
Always investigate the cause of the overload. If the
fuse trips frequently, contact an authorized Volvo
Penta workshop.
Electrical Connections
Check that electrical connections are dry, free from
Risk of fire and explosion. Never allow an open flame
or electric sparks near the batteries.
WARNING!
Battery electrolyte is a corrosive acid and should be
handled with care. If you spill or splash electrolyte on
any part of the body, immediately flush the exposed
area with liberal amounts of water and seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
WARNING!
Ventilate the engine compartment before working on
batteries or battery connections.
IMPORTANT:
Batteries can be damaged if they are left discharged,
and can also freeze and burst easier in cold weather.
If the engine is not going to be used for a longer period
of time, the batteries should be fully charged, trickle
charged if possible.
Maintenance
It is important to always follow the battery
manufacture’s recommendation and instruction when
replacing and charging batteries. Depending on
battery type, the instructions for maintenance and
charging may vary.
Modern batteries are normally maintenance free, but
there are some actions that are recommended to
increase the battery service life and avoid accidents:
Keep the batteries clean and dry. Contamination
•
and oxide on the batteries and battery poles can
result in stray currents, voltage drop and discharge,
especially in wet weather.
Remove oxidation from the battery poles and
•
terminals, using a brass brush.
Tighten the terminals securely and grease them with
•
terminal grease or petroleum jelly. Loose battery
connections may cause damage to the engine’s
electrical system.
Charge the battery regularly. A battery that is kept
•
fully loaded has a maximum service life. The easiest
way to check if a battery needs charging is to use a
voltmeter.
Make sure that the new battery fulfills the specifications
in Technical Data. Read the information supplied with
the battery before you begin the installation.
IMPORTANT:
Do not disconnect the batteries with the engine
running.
Sensitive electrical components can be immediately
damaged.
WARNING!
Never confuse the positive and negative poles on the
batteries. Risk of arcing and explosion.
Disconnecting (A)
1 Untighten the nut and remove the – cable (black).
2 Untighten the nut and remove the + cable (red).
Remove the battery.
Connecting (B)
Place the new battery.
1 Connect the + cable (red) to the + pole on the
battery and tighten the nut.
2 Connect the – cable (black) to the – pole on the
battery and tighten the nut.
NOTICE! Hand in the old battery to a re-cycling station.
An incorrectly-carried-out electrical installation may
generate leakage current from the electrical system.
Leakage current can in turn render galvanic protection
inadequate in respect of propellers, propeller shafts,
rudder posts, the keel etc., and may cause damage
through electrochemical corrosion.
WARNING!
Work on the low voltage circuits in the boats should be
done by a person with electrical training or knowledge.
Installation or work on land current equipment must
only be done by a competent electrician, in accordance
with local regulations for mains electricity.
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
instruments, 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:
Never use the engine or transmission as earth
planes.
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.

Maintenance
4 The start battery must have a main switch (C)
connected 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 (1) 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 auxiliary battery must have
separate main switches.
For simultaneous charging of two independent battery
circuits a separate charging distributor (accessory)
should be installed on the standard alternator.
1 Start the engine and let it run on idle a few minutes.
2 Remove the dipstick by turning counter-clockwise.
3 Wipe the dipstick and reinsert it in the reverse gear
without screwing it in. Remove the dipstick and
check the oil level. The correct oil level is between
the MAX and MIN markings.
4 Top up the oil as required using the dip stick tube.
Please refer to section Technical Data, page 83
for oil quality and capacity.
IMPORTANT:
Never over-fill the reverse gear. The oil level must
always be within the recommended range.
Reverse Gear, Oil Change
1 Pull out the oil dipstick.
2 Pump out the oil with the oil drain pump through the
oil dipstick hole.
3 Measure out the correct quantity of oil and fill
through the oil dipstick hole. For oil grade and
quantity, refer to the Technical Data, page 83
section.
4 Put the oil dipstick back in place.
IMPORTANT!
Never over-fill the reverse gear. The oil level must
always be within the recommended range.
Propeller Shaft Sealing, Check
If the boat is fitted with a Volvo Penta propeller shaft,
the propeller shaft seals must be lubricated before
launch and purged directly after launching.
Purge the glands by pressing them together, at the
same time as they are pressed down onto the shaft.
The press approximately 1 cm³ of water resistant
grease into the seal.
The S-Drive is equipped with a sacrificial anode that
prevents galvanic corrosion. The galvanic protection
can be disabled by incorrect electrical installations and
suchlike. Damage caused by so-called electrolytic
corrosion can appear quickly and can often be
extensive. Read more about this in the ElectricalInstallations, page 68 section.
Incorrectly performed stern drive painting or the wrong
type of hull paint may render the galvanic protection
ineffective. Read more about painting in the
Storage, page 78 section.
Transmission lubricant, checking
and topping up
Remove the oil dipstick by unscrewing it counterclockwise. Wipe the oil dipstick dry and replace it into
the drive/reverse gear, without screwing it down. Pull
out the oil dipstick again and check the oil level. The
correct oil level is between the MAX and MIN marks.
If required, top up oil through the oil dipstick hole. For
oil grade and quantity, refer to the TechnicalData, page 83 section
IMPORTANT:
Never over-fill the drive. The oil level must always be
within the recommended range.
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.
Zinc in salt water.
•
Magnesium in freshwater.
•
Aluminum when the boat is used primarily in salt
•
water and sometimes in brackish water
Remedy any damaged stern drive paintwork according
to the instructions in the Storage, page 78 section.
Replacing sacrificial anodes
1 Remove the sacrificial anodes and thoroughly
scrape clean the contact surfaces on the drive and
propellers.
2 Apply thread locking fluid to the bolts to the
propeller sacrificial anodes.
3 Install the new sacrificial anodes and fasten them
to ensure good metallic contact.
Rubber Bellow
Check the rubber seal between the drive and the hull
regularly for cracks and wear.
IMPORTANT:
The seal must be changed every seven years or earlier
if it is defective. This work should be carried out by an
authorized workshop.
The propeller must be cleaned and greased once
yearly. Remove the propeller and clean all parts
thoroughly. Brush water resistant grease on the
propeller blade cogs and bearing surfaces so that the
propeller folds easily. Also brush water resistant
grease on pins, spacer sleeves (stern drive), propeller
shaft and in the propeller hub.
WARNING!
Make sure the engine can not start during work on
propeller(s); remove ignition key(s) and shift drive into
forward or reverse.
Removal
1 Set the control lever to the “Ahead” position.
2 Disassemble the propeller blades by screwing out
the lock screws (4) completely and then pressing
out the pins (1).
3 Drive: Fold down the edge of the tab washer (3)
and remove the lock screw (2), tab washer and nut
(5).
Reverse gear: Remove the nut (6), washer (7) and
then the lock screws (8).
4 Pull off the propeller hub and spacer sleeve (stern
propeller hub onto the shaft. Fit the propeller to the
spacer sleeve.
2 Drive: Install the nut (5). Place a propeller blade in
the hub and secure it with a wooden wedge
between the propeller blade and hull. Tighten the
nut to 70 Nm.
Reverse gear: Fit the washer (7) and tighten the
nut (6) to 220 Nm. Apply thread locking fluid to the
lock screws (8). Once the lock screws have been
tightened, locking fluid should also be applied to
their heads.
3 Drive: Place the tab washer (3) on the nut. Install
and tighten the lock screw (2) to 20 Nm and bend
one of the tab washer tabs against the bolt head.
The tab washer (3) must be replaced if necessary.
Only Volvo Penta original lock screws (2) or screws
with the same quality may be used.
4 Install one propeller blade to the hub and press in
the cotter pin (1) so that the groove in the pin is
aligned with the lock screw hole (2). Apply thread
locking fluid to the lock screw and tighten it to 10
Nm.
5 Install the blades the same way in consecutive
order. Check that the blades have the same angle
to the propeller shaft and that they move easily.
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 in the Operator`s Manual before starting work. It contains instructions on how
to carry out maintenance and service operations in a safe and technical correct manner.
The engine and other equipment must be inhibited 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:
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 boat
is 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.
•
Clean the vacuum valve and seawater filter
•
(accessory).
Cleaning and conserving the raw water system.
•
Removing the impeller from the raw water pump.
•
Store the impeller in a sealed plastic bag and keep
cool.
Check the glycol content of the engine coolant. Top
•
up as necessary.
IMPORTANT:
The use of anti-corrosion agent alone in the engine
cooling system does not protect against freeze
damage. If there is a risk of the engine being
exposed to sub-freezing temperatures, the system
must be drained.
Check the oil level in the engine and stern drive/
•
reverse gear. Top up as necessary. If the system
contains conservation oil this must be drained, and
the system must then be filled with oil. For the
correct oil grade, refer to Technical Data,Lubrication System. Replace oil filter.
Drain any antifreeze from the raw water system.
•
Install the impeller in the raw water pump. Replace
•
the old one if it displays signs of wear; refer to the
chapter Impeller, Check and Change, page 62.
Close and tighten drain taps and plugs.
•
Check drive belt tensions and conditions.
•
Check rubber hoses for condition and tighten hose
•
clamps.
Check the engine coolant and antifreeze. Top up as
•
necessary.
Connect the fully-charged batteries.
•
Painting the sterndrive and hull bottom.
•
Check the sacrificial anode on the stern drive. If less
•
than 2/3 of the anode remain, it must be replaced.
Clean with emery cloth shortly before launch.
IMPORTANT:
Use emery paper. Do not use a wire brush or other
steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the
galvanic protection.
Install the propellers
•
Launch the boat. Check for leaks.
•
Vent and grease the propeller shaft packing box
•
(reverse gear).
Start the engine. Check that there are no fuel,
•
coolant or exhaust leaks and that all controls
function.
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.
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
aluminum 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 copperbased 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.

Volvo Penta diesel engines are certified for compliance with emission legislations with the diesel test fuels
specified by law. These fuels correspond with diesel fuel standards EN 590, ASTM D975 and JIS K2204 and
paraffinic diesel fuel standard EN 15940. Volvo Penta guarantees compliance with emission legislation and
fulfillment of expected lifetime as long as the specified restrictions are followed.
It is the responsibility of the fuel suppliers to always ensure that their fuels meet relevant requirements and are
fit for their intended purpose. Their responsibility includes any use of additives for proper engine performance and
function.
Special requirements are placed on cold-flow properties, that is, temperature limit values of fuel filterability during
operation in winter conditions.
Restrictions for specified diesel fuels
•
Max density for ASTM D975 No 2–D: 860 kg/m
Insufficient density reduces the power and increases the fuel consumption. Excessive density endangers
the durability and function of the fuel injection equipment.
•Max lubricity (wsd 1.4) for JIS K 2204: 460 μm
Sufficient fuel lubricity is essential to protect the fuel injection system against excessive wear.

Restrictions for other diesel fuels
Volvo Penta also approves the use of other diesel fuels as long as the here specified restrictions are followed.
However Volvo Penta does not guarantee compliance with emission legislation or fulfillment of expected lifetime
with these other diesel fuels.
NOTICE! Operators must check permission for usage of these fuels according to regional, national or local
regulations.
•Min cetane number: 40
An insufficient cetane number (“ignitability”) leads to poor startability and increased exhaust emissions.
•
Max density at 15°C: 860 kg/m
3
Insufficient density reduces the power and increases the fuel consumption. Excessive density endangers
the durability and function of the fuel injection equipment.
•
Viscosity between 1.9 to 4.6 mm/s2 at 40°C:
Insufficient viscosity reduces the power and increases the fuel consumption. Excessive viscosity endangers
the durability and function of the fuel injection equipment.
•Max lubricity (wsd 1.4): 520 μm
Sufficient fuel lubricity is essential to protect the fuel injection system against excessive wear.
•Max FAME (biodiesel) content: 10% (V/V)
FAME is blended into diesel fuel.
•Max sulfur content: 5000 mg/kg
Paraffinic fuels - HVO and GTL
Paraffinic diesel fuels (“Synthetic Diesel”) have higher cetane numbers and lower densities than diesel fuels. HVO
(Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils) is renewable paraffinic fuels. GTL (Gas-To-Liquid) is fossil paraffinic fuels. Volvo
Penta approves the use of paraffinic diesel fuels that complies with standard EN 15940. The fuel guarantees
compliance with emission legislation and fulfills the expected lifetime as long as the service requirements are
followed. Volvo Penta also approves the use of fuel blends between these paraffinic fuels and diesel fuels that
comply with the quality requirements.

Coolant, Mixing
WARNING!
All coolant is hazardous and harmful to the
environment. Do not consume. Coolant is flammable.
IMPORTANT:
Always use the same type of coolant that is already in
the engine.
Different types of coolant must not be mixed with each
other.
Risk of reduced cooling function and performance by
clogging and isolation.
Coolant shall be based on Organic Acid
Technology (OAT).
Follow the mixing recommendation on the
product.
The coolant should be mixed with distilled, deionized
water. For Volvo Penta specified water requirements;
refer to Water Quality.
NOTICE! Always use “Ready Mixed” coolant if water
quality cannot be determined or if it does not fulfill
ASTM D4985.
NOTICE! Never mix more than 60% concentrated
coolant with water. A greater concentration provides
reduced cooling effect with the risk for overheating and
reduced freeze protection.
There are type plates on the engine and transmission, marked with identification numbers. This information must
always be used as reference when service and spare parts are ordered. You will probably find similar plates on
your boat and its equipment. Note this information below, make a copy of the page and store it in a safe place,
so that you can have the information available if the boat is stolen.
