Engine water intake valve
The water inlet valve of the engine is essential in the engine operation.
- Hold the strainer on the base in the best possible state of cleanliness.
- Brush the strainer whenever the boat is lifted out.
- Do not cover the strainer with antifouling paint.
This valve must be open before starting the engine (risk of quick damage of the exhaust muffler
and of great damage of the engine).
If water does not flow out:
- Stop the engine immediately.
- Check that the valve is open.
Close the water inlet valve if the boat is unattended for long.
Inspect and clean the water filter regularly.
Engine operation
Before starting the engine:
- Turn on the fuel valve.
- Open the valve of the engine cooling system and the valve of the stuffing box.
- Operate the battery switches and energise the electric system.
- Disengage the reverse gear (it will make the acceleration possible when in neutral).
ADVICE - RECOMMENDATION
Get used to checking immediately after starting the engine if water is expelled with the
exhaust gases.
DANGER
- Always start the engine with the control lever in neutral.
WARNING
Never switch off or de-energise the electric system when the engine is running.
Imperatively operate the stop pull handle (or button) before using the ignition
key to switch off and smother a diesel engine.
