chemicals that can corrode internal engine surfaces.
The antifreeze performs double duty. It allows the engine to
run at proper temperatures by transferring heat away from the
engine to the coolant, and lubricates and protects the cooling
circuit from rust and corrosion. Look for a good quality
antifreeze that contains Supplemental Cooling Additives
(SCAs) that keep the antifreeze chemically balanced, crucial
to long term protection.
The distilled water and antifreeze should be premixed before
being poured into the cooling circuit.

PROCEDURE
DESCRIPTION
Although your engine has experienced a minimum
hour
of
test operations at the factory to make sure accurate
assembly procedures were followed and that the engine operated properly, a break-in time is required. The service life
your engine
and serviced during its initial
Breaking-in a new engine basically involves seating the piston rings to the cylinder walls. Excessive oil consumption
and smoky operation indicate that the cylinder walls are
scored, which is caused by overloading the engine during the
break-in period.
Your new engine requires approximately
conditioning operation to break in each moving part in
to maximize the performance and service life
Perform this conditioning carefully, keeping
lowing:
1. Start the engine according to the
DURE
that all systems (raw water
charging) are functioning.
2. Allow the engine to warm up (preferably by running at
fast idle) until the water temperature gauge moves into

transmission difficulties arise as a result
of
improper clutch adjustments (manual transmissions) or problems with control cables (hydraulic transmissions) rather than
from problems with the transmission itself.
HURTH clutches,

cable adjustments.
If
you experience operating problems with the transmission,
shut the engine down. First check the transmission-oil level,

LAY-UP & RECOMMISSIONING
GENERAL
Many owners rely on their boatyards to prepare their craft,
including engines and generators, for lay-up during the offseason or for long periods of inactivity.
accomplish lay-up preparation themselves.
The procedures which follow will allow you to perform your
own lay-up and recommissioning, or you may use them as a
check list if others do the procedures.
These procedures should afford your engine protection
during a lay-up and also help familiarize you with the
of
maintenance needs
If
you have any questions regarding lay-up procedures, call
your local servicing dealer; he will be more than willing to
provide assistance.
