This system check should include the hoses and clamps as before. Also check the

muffler for cracks. If you have a rubber muffler check it for cracks and hardness of the

rubber parts. Also check the exhaust elbow and the attaching clamp. Check the fitting at

the hull and the clamps.

One caution to always follow is not to over crank the engine. If the engine does not

start in the normal cranking period turn the seawater valve to the off position. Failure to

do so will fill the muffler and ingest water into the engine.

DC Electrical System

The engine’s electrical system operates on 12 volts dc. The major components are the

battery, starter, alternator, fuel pump, glow plugs and solenoid, switches and instrument

panel.

System checks should include battery fluid level and belt tension. Periodically check

electrical connections for tightness and clean any corrosion. Since troubleshooting and

repairing the electrical system can be complicated, repairs should be limited to those

contained in the owner’s manual. A qualified marine mechanic should do all other

repairs.
