Your new boatRead the instruction books and other informationcarefully, which came with your new boat. Learn tohandle the engine, controls and other equipment in asafe and correct manner.If this is your first boat, or a type of boat you are notexperienced in using, we recommend that you prac-tice operating the boat in peace and quiet. Get to knowthe way the boat reacts to sea and to the controlsunder different speed, sea and loading conditionsbefore you cast off for your first “real” maiden voyage.Remember that the captain of every boat is requiredby law to know and to observe applicable rules fortraffic and safety at sea. Get to know the rules whichapply to you and your waters, by contacting the rele-vant authority or sea safety organization.It is a good idea to go on some kind of boat operationcourse. We recommend that you contact a regionalboat or sea safety organization to find a suitablecourse.

Fuel fillingThere is always a risk of fire and explosion during fuelfilling. Smoking is not permissible, and the engineshould be stopped.Never over-fill the tank. Shut the tank cap securely.Only use the fuel recommended in the instructionbook. The wrong grade of fuel can cause serious mal-functions, power loss or stop the engine.

Daily checksMake it a habit to give the engine and engine bay avisual check before driving (before starting theengine) and after operation (when you have stoppedthe engine). This helps you to quickly discoverwhether any leakage of fuel, coolant, oil or any otherabnormal event has happened, or is about to happen.

Do not start the engineDo not start the engine if you suspect a fuel or LPGleak in the boat, close to explosive media, or if thereis a spillage of explosive media. An explosive envi-ronment entails a risk of fire and/or explosion.

ManoeuvringAvoid sudden or surprising rudder movements andgear shifting. There is a risk that passengers could fallover, or overboard.A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Checkthat there is nobody in the water before you engageforward / astern (reverse) drive. Never drive close tobathers or in areas where you could reasonablyexpect that people could be in the water.

Accidents and near missesLife saving statistics show that inadequate care ofboats and engines, and deficiencies in safety equip-ment are frequent causes of accidents and nearmisses at sea.Make sure that your boat and engine are maintainedin accordance with the advice in each instructionbook, and that the necessary safety equipment is onboard, and is in working condition.

Carbon monoxide poisoningWhen a boat moves forwards, an area of low pressureair forms behind the boat. In adverse conditions, thislow pressure can be so strong that the boat’s ownexhaust fumes are sucked into the cockpit or cabin,which entails a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning forall aboard.The problem of low-pressure suction is worst in high,wide boats with a square transom. But even in othertypes of boats, low-pressure suction can be a problemin some conditions, such as if you drive with the hoodup. Other factors which increase the low-pressureeffect are wind conditions, load distribution, pitching,trimming, open windows and ventilators etc.

Most modern boats are designed so that the problemof low-pressure suction is very rare, however. If low-pressure suction does occur anyway, do not openhatches or ventilators in the forward part of the boat.Strangely enough, this makes the problem worse. Trychanging speed, trimming or load distribution instead.Also try taking down/opening the hood or modifying itin some other manner. Ask your boat dealer for adviceabout the best solution for your particular boat.

Remember

• Safety equipment: Life jackets for everybody aboard, communication equipment, emergencyrockets, 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 andtools for the jobs you could be expected to have to do.

• 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 tonotify changed plans or delays.

• Inform everybody aboard about where the safety equipment is located, and how it works. Makesure 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, andwhere or how it is used etc. We recommend that you ask a regional boat or sea safety organizationfor more detailed maritime safety information.

PreparationsKnowledgeThe operator’s manual contains instructions on howto carry out general maintenance and service opera-tions safely and correctly. Read the instructions care-fully before starting work.

Service literature covering more complicated opera-tions is available from your Volvo Penta dealer.

Never carry out any work on the engine if you areunsure of how it should be done, contact your VolvoPenta dealer who will be glad to offer assistance.

Stop the engineStop the engine before opening or removing enginehatches. Unless otherwise specified all maintenanceand service must be carried out with the engine stop-ped.

To prevent accidental start of the boat engine, removethe ignition key, turn off the power supply to the engineat the main switches and lock them in the OFF posi-tion before starting work. Put up a warning sign in thecontrol position that work on the engine is being car-ried out.

Approaching or working on an engine which is runningis a safety risk. Loose clothing, hair, fingers or a drop-ped tool can be caught in the rotating parts of theengine and cause serious personal injury. VolvoPenta recommend that all servicing with the enginerunning should be undertaken by an authorized VolvoPenta workshop.

Lifting the engineWhen lifting the engine, use the lifting eyes installedon the engine (reverse gear where installed). Alwayscheck that lifting equipment is in good condition andhas sufficient load capacity to lift the engine (engineweight including reverse gear and any extra equip-ment installed). For safety’s sake lift the engine usingan adjustable lifting beam. All chains and cablesshould run parallel to each other and as perpendicularas possible in relation to the top of the engine. Bearin mind that extra equipment installed on the enginemay alter its center of gravity. Special lifting equip-ment may then be required in order to maintain thecorrect balance and make the engine safe to handle.Never carry out work on an engine suspended on ahoist.

Before starting the engine

Reinstall all protective parts removed during serviceoperations before starting the engine. Check that notools or other items have been left on the engine.

Never start a turbocharged engine without installingthe air cleaner (ACL). The rotating compressor in theTurbocharger unit can cause serious personal injury.Foreign objects can also be sucked in and causemechanical damage to the unit.

Fire and explosionFuel and lubrication oilAll fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals areinflammable. Read and follow the instructions on thepackaging.

When carrying out work on the fuel system, make surethe engine is cold. A fuel spill onto a hot surface orelectrical components can cause a fire.

Store fuel soaked rags and other flammable materialso that there is no danger of them catching fire. Fuel-soaked rags can self-ignite under certain conditions.

Do not smoke when filling fuel, oil or in proximity of afilling station or in the engine room.

Non-original componentsComponents used in the fuel and electrical systemson Volvo Penta products are designed and con-structed to minimize the risk of fire and explosion.

Using spare parts other than by Volvo Pentaapproved spare parts can result in fire or explosion onboard.

BatteriesThe batteries contain and emit oxyhydrogen gas,especially during charging. This gas is easily ignitedand highly volatile.

Do not under any circumstances smoke or use nakedflame or allow sparks in the vicinity of the batteries orbattery compartment.

An incorrect connection of a battery terminal cable orjump-start cable can cause a spark which in its turncan be sufficient to cause an explosion.

Start sprayNever use start spray or similar agents to start anengine equipped with air pre-heating (glow plugs/starter element). This may cause an explosion in theinlet manifold. Danger of personal injury.

Hot surfaces and fluidsThere is always a risk of burns when working with ahot engine. Beware of hot surfaces. For example: theexhaust pipe, turbo unit, oil pan, charge air pipe,starter element, hot coolant and hot oil in oil lines andhoses.

Carbon monoxide poisoningOnly start the engine in a well-ventilated area. If oper-ating the engine in an enclosed space, ensure thatthere is proper ventilation in order to remove exhaustgases and crankcase ventilation emissions from theworking area.

ChemicalsMost chemicals such as anti-freeze, rustproofingagent, inhibiting oil, degreasing agent etc. are haz-ardous to health. Read and follow the instructions onthe packaging.

Some chemicals such as inhibiting oil are inflammableand dangerous if breathed in as well. Ensure goodventilation and use a protective mask when spraying.Read and follow the instructions on the packaging.

Store chemicals and other hazardous materials out ofthe reach of children. To protect the environment,please dispose of used or leftover chemicals at aproperly designated disposal site for destruction.

Cooling systemThere is a risk of flooding when working on the sea-water system. Turn off the engine and close the seacock (where installed) before starting work on the sys-tem.

Avoid opening the coolant filler cap when the engineis hot. Steam or hot coolant can spray out and causeburns.

If work must be carried out with the engine at operat-ing temperature and the coolant filler cap or a cockopen or a coolant hose disconnected, open the cool-ant filler cap carefully and slowly to release pressurebefore removing the cap completely. Note that thecoolant may still be hot and can cause burns.

Lubrication systemHot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hotoil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not underpressure before commencing work on it. Never startor operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed,oil can spray out.

Fuel systemAlways use protective gloves when tracing leaks. Liq-uids ejected under pressure can penetrate body tis-sue and cause serious injury. There is a danger ofblood poisoning.

Always cover the generator if it is located under thefuel filter. The generator can be damaged by spilledfuel.

Electronic Vessel Control (EVC)The boat has a advanced control system. Never cutor modify connectors, wiring or splice of the compo-nents.

Installing non Volvo Penta components may causethe system to malfunction.

Service must be done by approved workshops.

Electrical systemCutting off powerAlways stop the engine and break the current usingthe main switches before working on the electricalsystem. Isolate shore current to the engine blockheater, battery charger, or accessories mounted onthe engine.

BatteriesThe batteries contain an extremely corrosive electro-lyte. Protect your skin and clothes when charging orhandling batteries. Always use protective goggles andgloves.

If battery electrolyte comes into contact with unpro-tected skin, wash off immediately using plenty ofwater and soap. If battery acid comes into contact withthe eyes, flush immediately with plenty of water andobtain medical assistance without delay.

Certified enginesIf you own or operate an emission certified engine it isimportant to be aware of the following:

Certification means that an engine type has beenchecked and approved by the relevant authority. Theengine manufacturer guarantees that all engines madeof the same type are equivalent to the certified engine.This makes special demands on the care and main-tenance you give your engine, as follows:

• Maintenance and service intervals recommendedby Volvo Penta must be complied with.

• Only Volvo Penta original spares may be used.

• Service on injection pumps, pump settings andinjectors must always be done by an authorisedVolvo Penta workshop.

• The engine must not be converted or modified,except for the accessories and service kits whichVolvo Penta has approved for the engine.

• Installation changes to the exhaust pipe and engineair inlet ducts must not be done.

• No seals may be broken by unauthorised personnel.

The general advice in the Operator's manual aboutoperation, care and maintenance apply.

Late or inadequate maintenance/service or the use ofspare parts not approved by Volvo Penta will invalidateAB Volvo Penta’s responsibility for the engine specifi-cation being in accordance with the certificated variant.Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liability for anydamage or costs arising due to the above.

ControlsThis section describes the controls Volvo Penta sellsfor your engine. Contact your dealer if your boat isequipped with controls other than those describedhere, and you feel uncertain about their function.

Single Lever Control

Maneuvering

A single-lever control operates both gearshift andthrottle functions with the same lever.The engine can only be started with the control leverin the neutral position.

N = Neutral position. Reverse gear/drive disengagedand engine at idle.

F = Reverse gear/drive engaged for forward motion.R = Reverse gear/drive engaged for rearward

motion.T = Engine rpm control (throttle).

Disconnecting the gearshift function

The gearshift function can be disconnected so that thecontrol lever only operates the throttle.

1 Put the control lever in neutral (N).

2 Depress the neutral button (N) and keep itdepressed at the same time as the lever is movedforwards to the gearshift position (F).

3 Release the neutral button. The green indicator willflash as confirmation that the gearshift function isdisconnected and the that lever will only affectengine revolutions.

The gear shift function is reconnected automaticallywhen the lever is returned to the neutral position. Thisis confirmed by the green indicator shining continu-ously.

CAUTION!Take care not to engage the gear by mistake.

TrollingThe Volvo Penta trolling function is available forengines with some versions of hydralic reverse gear.Trolling requires two control levers, one for throttle/gear, and the other to control the slip function. Trollingmakes it possible to use higher engine power withoutincreasing boat speed.

WARNING!If engine speed exceeds the maximum permissibleengine speed for trolling (approx. 1000 rpm, dependingon reverse gear), the EVC system automatically dis-engages trolling and full propeller effect returns.Depending on the position that the control lever is inwhen automatic disengagement occurs, the boatspeed can increase rapidly.

Engage the trolling function

1 Move the throttle/gear lever to a position where theengine speed is within the permissible enginespeed range and move the slip control lever to a slipposition.Active trolling is indicated by the symbol inthe display.

If trolling initializing symbol shows in the

display trolling is not ready to use. Gear shifting asnormal until trolling is activated.

Delay in gear shifting may occur when Trolling isactive.At maximum slip there is no propeller effect.

Disengaging the trolling function

1 To disengage the trolling function, move the slipcontrol lever to minimum slip position.The indication in the tachometer display disap-eares.

Propeller Shaft BrakeIn certain operational circumstances the propeller maycause the propeller shaft to rotate when the engine isstopped. This passive rotation is uncomfortable andcan be harmful to the reverse gear as its oil pump,which is driven by the input shaft, will not operate whenthe engine is stopped.The propeller shaft may be allowed to rotate with astopped engine up to 6–8 hours. After this, the enginemust be started and run for at least five minutes forlubrication and cooling of the reverse gear.In cases where the propeller shaft may rotate fasterthan in normal operations, e.g. boat under sail, a tem-perature gauge should be installed for monitoring theoil temperature.Max. permissible temperature for ZF reverse gears is95°C (203°F).When the above-mentioned regulations cannot bemet, or when the shaft needs to be stopped or reasonsof comfort, a shaft brake must be fitted. On isolatedoccasions the propeller shaft flange may be locked ina suitable manner instead.

StartingMake a habit of visually checking the engine, engine bay and transmission before start. This will help you todiscover quickly if anything abnormal has happened, or is about to happen. Also check that instruments andwarning displays show normal values when you have started the engine.To minimize cold start smoke we recommend the installation of an engine heater or engine bay heater if temper-atures below +5° C are encountered.

WARNING!Never use start spray or similar products as startingaid. Explosion risk!

Before Starting• Open the fuel cock.

• Open the sea cock where fitted.

• Check the engine and transmission oil level.

• Check the coolant level.

• Check fuel pre-filter, drain water and contamina-tions.

• Check the fuel tank, drain water and contamina-tions.

• Check the air filter indicator.

• Turn the main switches on.

IMPORTANT!Never disconnect the current with the mainswitches when the engine is running. The alter-nator and electronics could be damaged.

• Start the engine bay fan, where fitted, and allow it torun for at least four minutes.

• Check that there is sufficient fuel for the planned trip.

Start using the ignition switchTurn the key to position III. Release the key and let itspring back to position I as soon as the engine hasstarted.If repeated start attempts are needed, the key must beturned back to position 0 first.

Starting with the starter buttonPress the starter button. Release the button as soonas the engine has started.If you start from a secondary station, the starter key atthe main control station must be in position I.

Overheating protectionIf the starter motor is engaged for its maximum activa-tion time (30 seconds), the starter motor circuit is cutautomatically to protect the starter motor from over-heating. If possible, leave the starter motor to cool forat least five minutes before making a new start attempt.

Read the instruments and warm theengine upAllow the engine to idle for the first ten seconds. Checkthat instruments and warning displays show normalvalues. Check that no alarms are displayed and nowarning lamps are flashing. If an alarm is registred,please refer to section “Fault Handling” for further infor-mation and recomended actions.Warm the engine up at low speed and low load, sonormal operating temperature is reached before fullpower is used.

IMPORTANT!Never race the engine when it is cold.

OperationLearn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and proper manner before casting off on yourmaiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden and extreme rudder maneuvers and gear shifts. There is a risk forpassengers 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 InstrumentsRead all instruments and alarm displays directly afterstarting, and then regularly during the voyage. Valuesfrom the analog instruments are also shown in thetachometer display.

AlarmsAlarms and messages are shown in the display, somealarms do also have a sound alarm. Is there an alarminstrument installed the lamp in question will flash.If a malfunction is discovered the sound alarm startsand the lamp in question in the alarm instrumentflashes. The display will show a fault message.

1 Read the alarm/fault message.

2 Acknowledge the alarm by pressing the knob on thecontrol panel.

3 Take the indicated actions, see chapter Fault CodeRegister page 45.

ManeuveringShifting between forward and reverse should be doneat idling. Shifting at higher engine speeds can beuncomfortable for passengers and cause unnecessarystress on the stern drive/reverse gear, or cause theengine to stop.If you attempt to shift gear at an excessive enginespeed, a safety function cuts in automatically, anddelays shifting until engine speed has fallen to 1000rpm.

Always do a forwards/reverse operationas follows:1 Reduce engine speed to idle and let the boat more

or less lose way.

WARNING!Never shift to reverse when the boat is planing.

2 Move the control lever to neutral with a rapid, dis-tinct movement. Make a brief pause.

3 Then move the control lever to reverse with a rapid,distinct movement and increase engine speed.

IMPORTANT!It is important all engines are running during reversingmaneuvers to avoid the risk of water entry via theexhaust pipe into the stationary engine.

Cruising SpeedFor best fuel economy operations at full must beavoided. We recommend a cruising speed that is atleast 10% below the maximum engine revolutions attop speed (full throttle).Depending on hull type, the choice of propeller, theload and sea state etc., the maximum revolutions attop speed may vary, but they should be within the fullthrottle range; refer to the “Technical data” chapter.

If the engine does not reach its maximum throttle rangeit can depend on a number of factors mentioned in the“Fault tracing” chapter.Select a propeller with greater pitch if actual enginerevolutions exceed the full throttle range. Contact yourVolvo Penta dealer for advice.

Synchronizing Engine SpeedWhen driving with twin engines, both the operatingeconomy and comfort will be increased when theengines are operating at the same engine speed (rpm).When the synchronization function is activated, theengine speed (rpm) of the starboard engine is auto-matically adjusted to that of the port engine. The syn-chronization function is activated automatically if thefollowing conditions are met.

1 The engine speed levers for both engines are in(approximately) the same position.

Engine ShutdownAllow the engine to run at low idle, in neutral, for a few minutes after operations are completed. In this way after-boiling is avoided at the same time as temperature equalization takes place. This is especially important whenthe engine has been run at high rpm or under heavy load.

Stop the EngineIf a station is active and locked the engine(s) can onlybe started and stopped from that station.

IMPORTANT!Never disconnect the current with the main switcheswhen the engine is running. The alternator and elec-tronics could be damaged.

IMPORTANT!Make sure the starter key is in 0-position or removedbefore main switches are switched off. Otherwise thealternator and electronics could be damaged.

Stop with key1 Disengage the reverse gear by putting the control

lever in neutral.

2 Turn the key to stop position “S”. Keep the keyturned until the engine stops. The key will automat-ically return to the “0” position when it is releasedand can then be removed.The starter key must be in the “0” position orremoved before main switches are switched off.

Stopping with the stop button1 Disengage the reverse gear by putting the control

lever in neutral.

2 Push the stop button(s). Release the button(s)when the engine(s) has/have stopped.

Auxiliary stopIf the engine cannot be stopped in a normal procedure,it is possible to stop the engine via auxiliary stopmounted on the side of the engine.

After Engine Shutdown• Check the engine and engine bay for leakages.

• Close the fuel tap.

• Close the sea cock where fitted.

• Take an hour meter reading and carry out preven-tive maintenance according to the maintenanceschedule.

• Turn off the main switch before any long stoppage.

Operation break with the boat in waterIf the boat is not used, but left in the water, the enginemust be warmed up at least once every fortnight. Thisprevents corrosion damage in the engine.If you expect the boat to be unused for two months ormore, it must be laid up, please refer to Short TermStorage.

Fault HandlingDespite regular maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and perfect operation conditions faults mayoccur which must be attended to before the boat can travel further. This chapter describes alarms and faulthandling.

Alarm handling

Fault information from engine and EVCsystemIf a malfunction is discovered the driver is warned by abuzzer sounding and a pop-up showing in the display.The pop-ups will toggles between cause of fault andtasks to perform.

Information regarding ”cause of fault” and ”measuresto take” is found in chapter Fault Code Regis-ter page 45.

The engine, transmission and EVC system is moni-tored by the diagnostic function. Should the diagnosticfunction discover a malfunction it protects the engineand ensures continued operation by affecting theengine. Depending on how serious the malfunction isthe effect on the engine varies.

• Minor malfunction which does not damage theengine or transmission.Affect on engine: None.

• Serious malfunction which will not immediately dam-age the engine or transmission e.g. high coolanttemperature.Affect on engine: Engine power is reduced untilfaulty value becomes normal.

• Serious malfunction which will cause serious dam-age to engine or transmission.Affect on engine: Engine power is reduced.

• Serious malfunction which makes it impossible tocontrol the engine or transmission.Affect on engine: Transmission is disengaged andengine speed is reduced.It is possible to perform emergency shifting, pleaserefer to Emergency Shifting.

• Serious malfunction on transmission or in the enginefuel injection system.Affect on engine: Engine is stopped.It is possible to perform emergency shifting, pleaserefer to Emergency Shifting. In emergency situa-tions it is also possible to start the engine with gearengaged after acknowledging the alarm.

• The gear is in neutral and engine rpm is limited.

• The engine stops.

If a fault occurs, confirm any fault alarm and take the necessary measures. Refer to this chapter, and the “Faultcatalogue” chapter.

Starting Using AuxillaryBatteries

WARNING!Explosion hazard. Batteries contain and give off anexplosive gas which is highly flammable and explosive.A short circuit, open flame or spark could cause a vio-lent explosion. Ventilate well.

WARNING!Never confuse the positive and negative poles on thebatteries. Risk of arcing and explosion.

1 Check that the auxiliary battery has the same volt-age as the engine system voltage.

2 Connect the red positive cable to the plus (+) ter-minal on the discharged battery and then to the plusterminal on the auxiliary battery.

3 Connect the black start cable to the minus (–) ter-minal on the auxiliary battery and to a place a littledistance away from the discharged battery, e.g. thestart motor's negative terminal.

WARNING!Under no circumstances may the black jumper cabel(-) come in contact with the positive connection on thestarter motor.

4 Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for approx-imately 10 minutes to charge the batteries. Makesure there is no extra equipment connected to theelectrical system.

Engine, GeneralGeneral inspectionMake a habit of visually checking the engine andengine bay before starting, and after operations whenyou have stopped the engine. This will help you to dis-cover abnormalities quickly, or if something is about tohappen.Look especially carefully for oil, fuel and coolant lea-kages, loose bolts, worn or poorly-tensioned drivebelts, loose cable connections, damaged electricalcables and hoses. This inspection only takes a fewminutes and can prevent serious malfunctions andexpensive repairs.

WARNING!Accumulations of fuel, oil and grease on the engine orin the engine room is a fire hazard and must beremoved immediately they are detected.

WARNING!If an oil, fuel or coolant leak is detected, the cause mustbe investigated and the fault rectified before the engineis started.

Never direct the jet from a high-pressure washer atseals, rubber hoses or electrical components.Never use the high pressure setting for engine clean-ing.

Drive Belt, Check and Change

WARNING!Stop the engine before doing any maintenance work.

GeneralCheck belts after running when they are warm. Youshould be able to depress the alternator belt and thedrive belt about 3-4 mm (0.118-0.158”) between thepulleys.

IMPORTANT!Always replace a belt that seems worn or in cracked(belts working in pairs should be changed together).

NOTICE! Both the alternator belt and the drive belt hasan automatic belt tensioner and should not need to beadjusted.

Freshwater SystemThe freshwater system is the engine's internal coolingsystem that ensures that the engine operates at thecorrect temperature. It is a closed system that mustalways be filled with a mixture of concentrated coolantand water in order to protect the engine against internalcorrosion, cavitation and frost bursting.

We recommend “Volvo Penta Coolant, Ready Mixed”,or “Volvo Penta Coolant” (concentrated) mixed withpure water according to specifications. Refer to thetable Water Quality page 96. Only coolant of thisgrade is suitable for, and approved by, Volvo Penta.The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permittedin Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as thecoolant.

IMPORTANT!Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must beused all year round. This applies even when there isno risk for frost damage, so that the engine always hascomplete corrosion protection. Future warranty claimsrelated to engine and accessories may be refused if anunsuitable coolant has been used, or if the instructionsfor coolant mixture have not been followed.

The corrosion protection additives become less effec-tive over time, which means that the coolant must bechanged at regular intervals; refer to the MaintenanceSchedule page 59. The cooling system must beflushed whenever the coolant is changed, refer to theFreshwater system, Flushing page 74 section.

“Volvo Penta Coolant” is a concentrated coolant thatmust be mixed with water. It has been prepared to workbest with Volvo Penta engines and offers excellentprotection against corrosion, cavitation damage andfrost bursting.

“Volvo Penta Coolant, Ready Mixed” is a ready-mixed coolant, 40 % “Volvo Penta Coolant” and 60 %water. This mixture protects the engine from corrosiondamage, cavitation damage and frost bursting down to–28 °C (–18 °F).

Coolant, Mixing

WARNING!All coolant is hazardous and harmful to the environ-ment. Do not consume. Coolant is flammable.

IMPORTANT!Volvo VCS coolant (yellow in color) must not be usedin Volvo Penta engines.Different kinds of coolant must not be mixed with eachother!

Mix: 40 % “Volvo Penta Coolant” (conc. coolant)and 60 % waterThis mixture protects against internal corrosion, cavi-tation and frost bursting down to –28 °C (–18 °F). At60 % glycol concentration, the freezing point is loweredto –54 °C (–65 °F).Never mix more than 60 % concentrate (Volvo PentaCoolant) in the coolant. A greater concentration pro-vides reduced cooling effect with the risk for overheat-ing and reduced frost protection.

The coolant must be mixed with distilled, deionizedwater. The water must fulfill the requirements specifiedby Volvo Penta; refer to Water Quality page 96.It is extremely important that the system is filled withthe correct coolant concentration. Mix in a separateclean vessel before filling the cooling system. Makesure that the liquids mix.

Coolant Level, Checking andTopping Up

CheckThe coolant level should be about 5 cm (2”) below thepressure cap sealing plane in the expansion tank.

NOTICE! There is a low coolant level alarm installedas standard, but make sure to check the coolant levelanyway every once in a while.

If a separate expansion tank is installed, the coolantlevel must be between the MAX and MIN markings.

Topping up

IMPORTANT!When topping up, use the same coolant mixture as isalready in the cooling system.

Fill the freshwater system with coolant to the correctlevel through the filler opening in the expansion tank.For correct level, refer to section Check. Fill slowly sothat evacuated air is able to pass the filler opening.

NOTICE! For coolant specification, refer to Mainte-nance page 72.

Filling when the system is empty

1 Make sure that systems connected to the coolingsystem are ventilated, e.g. heater, water heater.

2 Fill the system with coolant through the filler open-ing in the expansion tank. Fill slowly allowing air tobleed from the filler opening. For correct level, referto section Check.

3 Start the engine and let it idle for about 1 hour.IMPORTANT!

Seawater SystemThe seawater system is the engine’s external cooling system. The seawater system sucks in water through theseawater inlet and pumps it through the heat exchanger and the reverse gear oil cooler. The system is protectedfrom galvanic corrosion by means of zinc anodes located in the heat exchanger and the reverse gear oil cooler.

WARNING!Risk of water entry. Water will flow into the boat if any hose, plug etc. located below the waterline is removedwhen the boat is in the water. Always close the sea cocks. If the boat does not have sea cocks the water flowmust be blocked in a safe manner. If this is not possible, the boat must be drawn up on land before work starts.

Impeller, Check and Change

WARNING!Risk of water entry. Close the seawater cocks beforedoing any work on the seawater system.

1 Remove the seawater pump lid, and pull the impel-ler out with universal impeller puller.

2 Check the impeller. If any cracks or other defectsare visible, the impeller must be changed.

3 Lubricate the pump housing and the inside of thelid with water-resistant grease (which is not aggres-sive to rubber). The impeller will be easier to workwith if it is put in hot water prior to fitting.

4 Press the impeller in with a circular motion (counterclockwise). The shaft of the pump has an internalthread (M8). Screw a stud into the end of the shaftand press the impeller in using a washer and nut.Fit the cover, using a new O-ring.

5 Open the sea cock.

IMPORTANT!Always carry a spare impeller on board.

Seawater Filter, Check and CleaningThe seawater filter is optional equipment.

If the water where the boat is operated contains a lotof contamination, weed etc., check the filter more fre-quently than specified in the maintenance schedule.There is otherwise a risk that the filter would beblocked, which would make the engine overheat.

IMPORTANT!Observe the instruction manual for the battery chargercarefully. To avoid the risk of electrochemical corrosionwhen an external charger is connected, the batterycables should be removed from the batteries beforethe charger is connected.Always switch off the charging current before thecharging clips are removed.

• Charge batteries if they have become discharged.During charging, unscrew the cell plugs but leavethem min the plug holes. Ventilate well, especially ifthe batteries are charged in an enclosed space.

• If the engine is not used for a longer period of time,the batteries should be fully charged, then possiblytrickle charged (please refer to the battery manu-facturer’s recommendations). Batteries are dam-aged by being left discharged, and can also freezeand burst easier in cold weather.

• Special instructions apply to boost charging. Boostcharging can shorten battery life, and should there-fore be avoided.

Electrical InstallationsAn incorrectly-carried-out electrical installation maygenerate leakage current from the electrical system.Leakage current can in turn render galvanic protectioninsufficient in respect of propellers, propeller shafts,rudder posts, keel etc and may cause damage throughelectrochemical corrosion.

WARNING!Work on the low voltage circuits in the boats should bedone by a person with electrical training or knowledge.Installation or work on land current equipment mustonly be done by a competent electrician, in accordancewith local regulations for mains electricity.

Always consider the following:

1 If shore power is connected it must always beground protected ashore, never in the boat. Fur-thermore, the shore power installation should beequipped with a ground fault interrupter.The shore power installation (transformer, inverter,battery charger etc.) must be designed for marineuse where the high-tension side is galvanicallyseparated from the low-tension side.

2 Electrical cables must be run and clamped suchthat there is no risk of exposure to chafing, damp orbilge water.

3 Ground protection for radios, navigation instru-ments, rudder, boarding ladders or other equipmentwhere separate cables for ground protection arepresent, must be clustered to a common groundconnection that is not connected to the engine orreverser gear.

IMPORTANT!The engine and reverse gear must never be usedas earth planes.

4 The start battery must have a main switch (1) con-nected to the battery's plus (+) side. The mainswitch must break the circuit to all equipment andbe switched off when the boat is not in use.

5 If an auxiliary battery is used a main switch must beplaced between the auxiliary battery's plus (+) ter-minal and the circuit breaker panel for the boat'selectrical equipment. The main switch must breakthe circuit to all equipment connected to the auxili-ary battery and must be switched off when power isno longer required. All equipment connected to theauxiliary battery must have separate mainswitches.

For simultaneous charging of two independent batterycircuits a separate charging distributor (accessory)should be installed on the standard alternator.

StorageThe boat must be laid up to prevent damage to the engine and other equipment if the boat is not used for twomonths or more. It is important that this is done in the correct manner, and nothing is forgotten. For this reason,we have compiled a check list of the most important points.Before the boat is taken out of service for a long period of time, an authorised Volvo Penta workshop should overthe engine and other equipment. Have any faults and deficiencies attended to, so that the equipment is in order,ready for the next start.

CAUTION!Read the chapter on Maintenance before starting work. It contains instructions on how to carry out maintenanceand service operations in a safe and correct manner.

Some conservation oils are flammable. Some are also dangerous to breathe. Ensure good ventilation. Use a facemask when spraying.

IMPORTANT!Observe the following when cleaning with a high pressure washer: Never aim the water jet at seals, rubber hosesor electrical components. Never use a high pressure washer for engine cleaning.

Inhibiting• Warm the engine up to normal operating temper-

ature and check that the oil level in the reverse gearreaches the MAX mark on the dipstick. Stop theengine.

• Max 8 month’s stoppage:Change the oil and oil filter on the engine, thenwarm it up afterwards.

• More than 8 month’s stoppage:Conserve the lubrication and fuel systems withconservation oil. Please refer to section “Bringingout of storage”.

• Check that the coolant offers sufficient frost pro-tection. Top up as necessary.Alternatively, you can drain the coolant (also drainthe coolant filter).

• Close the sea cock and drain the water from theseawater system.

• Remove the impeller from the seawater pump.Store the impeller in a sealed plastic bag, in a coolplace.

• Drain any water and contamination from the fuelfilters and fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank completely, toavoid condensation.

• Disconnect the battery cables, clean and chargethe batteries. Trickle charge the batteries while theboat is laid up. A poorly charged battery canfreeze and burst.

• Clean the outside of the engine. Do not use a highpressure washer for engine cleaning. Touch uppaint damage with Volvo Penta original paint.

• Check and rust-proof any control cables.

• Put a note on the engine with the date, type of con-servation and the conservation oil used.

• Cover over the engine air inlet, exhaust openingand engine if necessary.

• Check that there is oil in the reverse gear.

• Install new fuel filters and vent the fuel system.

• Check the drive belt(s).

• Check the condition of all rubber hoses, and re-tighten the hose clamps.

• Close the drain taps and install the drain plugs.

• Insert the impeller in the seawater pump, using arotating movement (anti-clockwise).

• Check the coolant level and anti-freeze. Top upif necessary.

• Connect the fully charged batteries.

• Open the sea cocks.

• Start the engine (if the boat is in the water) andwarm up at a fast idle before loading the engine.

• Check that no oil, fuel or coolant leakage occurs.

• Check the oil level in the reverse gear. Top up ifnecessary.

Conservation of the lubrication and fuel systems for more than 8 months’ stoppage:

• Drain the oil from the sump and engine and fill theengine up with conservation oil* to just above theMIN marking on the dipstick.

• Connect the fuel supply (1) and return fuel pipes(2) to a jerrican filled with 1/3 conservation oil*and2/3 diesel fuel.

• Vent the fuel system.

• Start the engine and run at a fast idle until about 2litres (0.5 US gals.) have been used.Stop the engine and connect the ordinary fuel pipes.
