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.

P0003073

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. Always check that lifting equipment isin good condition and has sufficient load capacity tolift the engine (engine weight including any extraequipment installed). For safety’s sake lift the engineusing an 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 non-original Volvo Penta parts can result in fireor explosion on board.

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 before starting work on the system.

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.

Steering systemThe boat has a advanced steering system. DO NOTchange connectors, wiring or splice of the compo-nents.

Service must be done by approved workshops whichhave certifed personnel with qualified professionaltraining.

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.

Joystick DrivingNOTICE! Joystick steering only works together withVolvo Penta autopilot.

The joystick steering function allows the joystick to beused during passage to adjust the boat's heading andmaneuver the boat in the same way as with the auto-plilot and helm steering unit.

Throttle and gear shift controls work in the normalmanner.

Learn to maneuver the boat with the joystick in calm,open waters.

Joystick steering is activated and de-activated bypressing the button on the joystick.

When joystick steering is activated the autopilot is alsostarted. While the boat is under joystick control theautopilot is in standby mode; when the joystick isreleased to its central position the autopilot is activatedand locks in on the new heading after a few seconds.

Like the autopilot, the helm steering unit is locked whenjoystick steering is active but it may always be used fore.g. changing course or giving way for an obstacle.Twist the top of the joystick or move it sideways toreengage joystick steering.

If the autopilot is put in standby mode manually bymeans of the STBY button, joystick steering isswitched off and must be reengaged using the buttonon the joystick.

Heading adjustmentsTwist the top of the joystick to change heading incre-mentally. A short twist changes the heading by a fixedincrement while a twist held firm will change the head-ing through several increments.

The autopilot shows the heading with a digital valueand a indicator in shape of a blue triangle, a yellowarrow shows the new heading that the boat will be setto.

ManeuveringThe joystick can also be used to maneuver the boat inthe same manner as with a helm steering unit. Movethe joystick sideways to steer the boat in the samedirection. When the joystick is released the autopilotwill set a new heading that corresponds to boat head-ing.

NOTICE! Full joystick movement to one side corre-sponds to full helm.Maneuvering abeam provides a faster response thanadjusting the heading by twisting the top of the joystick.

Dynamic Positioning SystemVolvo Penta IPS Dynamic Positioning system (DPS)is a function that aids holding a selected position andcompass heading by means of a GPS signal. Thefunction is intended as an aid e.g. while waiting for aberth or for a bridge to open.From a legal standpoint, the boat is under way whenthe DPS is activated. The operator has the sameresponsibility regarding supervision and maneuveringas when making way through water. The helm stationmust remain attended.

It is the operator's responsibility to inform passengersof the risks and make sure no persons or any otherboat or object that can be affected by the operation ofthe DPS function are in the water near the boat. WhenDPS is active, precision is affected by wind, waves,current, and GPS signal strength. Keep away fromswimmers or any other boat or object when DPS isactive. The dynamic positioning system can beaffected by strong electromagnetic signals as createdby radar and radio transmitters. Maintain a safe dis-tance, with a minimum of 2 boat lengths to any object.

Show consideration! When the DPS is active, it givesrise to noise and heavy propeller wash that mayannoy those around. You are responsible for the wakefrom your boat.

WARNING!Check that nobody is in the water before engagingDPS. Maintain a safe distance, with a minimum of twoboat lengths to any object.Never use it in, or near, areas where people could bein the water. Personal injury could result from contactwith propellers.

WARNING!With DPS active, the propellers are spinning to keepthe boat in position, creating a slipstream. Keep awayfrom people in the water. Personal injury could resultfrom contact with propellers.

CAUTION!When DPS is in use, the boat may moveunexpectedly. The operator should informpassengers of the possibility of abrupt movement andto hold on to prevent falls.

Active Corrosion ProtectionACP (Active Corrosion Protection) is a system devel-oped to provide optimum IPS unit corrosion protectionin salt water and brackish water.

ACP has three levels of protection that can be moni-tored by the boat's electrical system. Presentation ofprotection status on boat displays can be selected inMy view.

When the system is active a small amount of chlorinegas is given off. If the smell is disturbing the ACP func-tion can be temporarily switched of as desired in thesettings menu; refer to Protection mode settings. Thesystem may be switched off for a maximum of 4 hoursduring which time the IPS unit is protected against cor-rosion by means of the secondary system; refer toProtection levels.The ACP reverts automatically to normal mode after 4hours; should you wish to leave chlorine-free modeearlier do so via the settings menu or by switching onthe ignition.

When berthed the boat should be connected to shorepower where provided. If shore power is lacking theACP uses the boat's batteries. If the batteries begin torun down, disconnect the ACP and switch to the sec-ondary system.

NOTICE! To avoid false alarms from the system whenrunning in freshwater environments where corrosion isnot so aggressive the function should be renderedinactive. The IPS unit is protected by the secondarysystem even when ACP is inactive.Set the ACP to Normal mode if the boat is move to amore aggressive environment.

Optional

47705796 05-2014 © AB VOLVO PENTA 53

Protection levels

A Good Protection (Good Protection) – the IPS unit isoptimally protected by the ACP function. The ACPadapts automatically to the corrosion environmentthe boat is in.

B Limited Protection (Limited Protection) – secondaryprotection. The IPS has full corrosion protectionfrom the zinc anode installed in the ACP unit on thetransom (secondary protection).Check that the batteries are being charged by shorepower; alternatively, start the engine so that thealternator charges the batteries.When the boat is in saltwater or brackish water, andif the system remains in this mode for more than 1–2 weeks after shore power is connected or an ade-quate battery charge is achieved, a system checkservice should be sought.

C No Protection (No Protection) – risk of corrosion,system alarm.Seek system check service.

D If the ACP is set to inactive the system cannot iden-tify ACP status; three lines will be shown on the dis-play. Should this occur when the system is not setto inactive, seek service for checks. The three linesare also shown for just under one minute when igni-tion is switched on before current protection levelcan be shown.

Optional

54 47705796 05-2014 © AB VOLVO PENTA

Setting protection levelACP has three levels of protection, which are selectedin the settings menu.

A Normal (Normal), means that protection is activeand functioning in the best way for the conditions theboat is in.

B Chlorine Free (Chlorine Free); the system hasswitched over to protection from the zinc anode for4 hours and no chlorine gas will be given off.

C Inactive (Inactive Only at Haul) – this mode may onlybe used when the boat is taken out of the water, ison land or if it is to be run in freshwater.Select this mode before the boat is lifted out of thewater to avoid false alarms. In this mode the IPS nolonger monitors corrosion conditions, but the IPS isprotected by the zinc anode.

When ignition is switched on the system is re-startedand goes to Normalmode.

ManeuveringShifting between forward and reverse should be doneat idling. Shifting at higher engine speeds can beuncomfortable for passengers and cause unnecessarystress on the transmission or cause the engine 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 1500rpm.

Always do a forwards/reverse operation asfollows: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.

There are three different types of helm station a boatcan be steered from.

Local stationThe local helm station has superiority over both themain helm station and remote helm station. The localhelm station is always able to take over control fromanother active helm station without unlocking theactive helm station first.If there is an additional local helm station that is activeit must first be unlocked in order to transfer control toanother local helm station.

Main StationThe main helm station has superiority over the remotehelm station but is subordinate to the local helm sta-tion.In order for the main helm station to take control froman active local helm station or another main helm sta-tion the active helm station must be unlocked first. Themain helm station can take control from a remote helmstation without unlocking the remote helm station.

Remote stationThe remote helm station is subordinate to the localhelm station and the main helm station.The active helm station must first be unlocked in orderto activate the remote helm station.

Changing helm stations

1 Unlock the active helm station by depressing (1).The padlock (2) will go out on all helm stations.

2 Activate the helm station that is to take control bypressing (1). The green lamp on the control willbegin flashing. It is possible to take over controlwhile the lamp is flashing.Should helm station change not take place whilethe lamp is flashing the transfer is interrupted andcommand reverts to the previously active helm sta-tion.

3 When the control on the helm station assumingcontrol is synchronized with engine speed andgear, the lamp in the control will burn continuouslyto confirm the transfer. The padlock symbol (1)lights up to show that the helm station is locked.

If the helm station is inactive, the lamp will be extin-guished.If the padlock symbol (2) is lit, the helm station cannotbe activated. Another helm station is active and locked,or unlocked with a drive selected (not in neutral).

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 Engines.

If the engine does not reach its maximum throttle ran-geit can depend on a number of factors mentioned inthe Fault Handling page 69 sedtion.Select a propeller with greater pitch if actual enginer-evolutions exceed the full throttle range. Contact yourVolvo Penta dealer for advice.

Triple installationSince the center propulsion unit is installed in a tunnela slight efficiency loss for engine 2 is to be expected atcruising speed and wide open throttle.At cruising speed engine 2 will show slightly higher fuelburn than engine 1 and 3. At wide open throttle engine2 will run at a slightly lower RPM (-40–80 RPM) thanengine 1 and 3.

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 engines 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 drive by putting the control lever in

neutral.

2 Turn the keys to stop position “S”. Keep the keyturned until the engines stops. The key will auto-matically return to the “0” position when it isreleased and can then be removed.The starter keys must be in the “0” position orremoved before main switches are switched off.

Alarm handling

Message from engine and EVC systemIf a malfunction is discovered the driver is warned by abuzzer sounding and a message showing in the dis-play.The message toggles between cause of fault and tasksto perform.

Information regarding ”cause of fault” and ”measuresto take” is found in chapter Fault Code Register.

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 transmissionAffect 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.

• Serious malfunction on transmission or in the enginefuel injection system.Affect on engine: Engine is stopped.

In Case of EmergencyDespite regular maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and perfect operation, faults may occurwhich must be attended to before the boat can travel further. This chapter contains tips for rectifying some of thepossible faults.There are safety functions which are activated when certain faults occur, to protect the engine. The following canoccur:

• Engine can not be started.

• Gear in neutral and engine speed is limited to 1500 rpm, no steering.

• The engine stops.

If fault occurs, acknowlege any alarm and take the recommended measures. Please refer to this chapter andAlarm handling page 67.

If one or two engine(s) stops working, or operates atreduced engine speed, it is recommended to avoidoperating at wide open throttle or high speeds for lon-ger periods. The engine load for the engine(s) that is(are) still working will be much higher than it normallyshould be when all engines are working and this couldcause excessive wear to the engine(s) and propulsionunit(s).

Triple installationA boat with a triple installation is not likely to experi-ence a serious fault on all engines and propulsion unitssimultaneously. If a serious fault occurs which pre-vents one or two engine(s) and propulsion unit(s) fromworking normally it will still be possible to operate theboat to your destination using the control levers andthe steering wheel.If the engines and propulsion units on each side (1 &3) are working it is also possible to operate the boatwith the joystick.

Running AgroundIf the boat has been run aground or into an object in away that may have damaged any of the propulsionunits or propellers, the boat must be run (if possible) atreduced speed or towed to the nearest harbor. Takethe boat out of the water and let an authorized VolvoPenta workshop inspect the propulsion units and pro-pellers. Undetected damage could lead to serious pro-pulsion unit damage.

Starting Using AuxiliaryBatteries

P0002107

WARNING!Explosion hazard. Batteries contain and give off anexplosive gas which is highly flammable andexplosive. A short circuit, open flame or spark couldcause a violent 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 samevoltage as the engine system voltage.

2 Connect the red positive cable to the plus (+)terminal on the discharged battery and then tothe plus terminal on the auxiliary battery.

3 Connect the black start cable to the minus (–)terminal on the auxiliary battery and to a placea little distance away from the discharged bat-tery, e.g. the start motor's negative terminal.

WARNING!Under no circumstances may the black jumpercabel (–) come in contact with the positive connec-tion on the starter motor.

4 Start the engine and let it run at fast idle forapproximately 10 minutes to charge the batter-ies. Make sure there is no extra equipment con-nected to the electrical system.

WARNING!Working with or approaching a running engine is asafety risk. Watch out for rotating components andhot surfaces.

WARNING!Do not touch the connections during the startattempt: Risk of arcing.Do not bend over any of the batteries either.

5 Turn off the engine. Remove the start cables inthe exact opposite order to their connection.

Emergency Steering

Emergency Alignment, PropulsionUnitIf a fault occurs which prevents one or several propul-sion units from being operated with the steering wheelit is possible to align the propulsion unit(s) for straightforward operation manually using the descriptionbelow.

If one or several propulsion units can be operated bythe steering wheel, this emergency operation is notnecessary. However, it could be that the steering abilityis badly unbalanced if the non working propulsionunit(s) is locked in a disadvantageous angle, thenalignment of the non working propulsion unit(s) willimprove the steering ability. The operator determineswhether the alignment is necessary or not, in order tomaneuver the boat in a safe way to the nearest harbor.

If steering is out of order on all propulsion units, alignall propulsion units and use control levers to steer theboat.

The tools needed during this operation are delivered ina special tool box together with the boat.

WARNING!Working with or approaching a running engine is asafety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hotsurfaces.

The following procedure can be carried out with theengines running, even though it is not recommended.Wear hearing protection when in the engine room asthere is a risk of harmful sound levels.

Emergency steering with controlleversIf a fault occurs which prevents all propulsion units frombeing operated with the steering wheel, align all thepropulsion units and use the steering method descri-bed below to reach nearest habor.

If one or several propulsion units can be operated bythe steering wheel, the steering method describedbelow is not needed.

Rotate the boatPut one control lever in the position for forward and putthe other control lever in the position for reverse. Usea suitable engine speed for maneuvring.

The direction of rotation is determined by the leverwhich is put in the position for reverse. If the boat is tomove to starboard, the starboard control lever shouldbe put in the position for reverse.

Steering the boatPut the control levers in forward. Use a suitable enginespeed for maneuvring.

The direction of the steering is determined by the useof the control levers. If the boat is to turn to starboard,reduce speed on starboard engine. The greater thedifference in speed between the control levers themore the boat turns. To make a sharp turn, move oneof the control lever to reverse for a moment.

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 coolant mixture in order to pro-tect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitationand frost bursting.

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.The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permittedin Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as thecoolant.

The corrosion protection additives become less effec-tive over time, which means that the coolant must bechanged at regular intervals; refer to MaintenanceSchedule. The cooling system must be flushed when-ever the coolant is changed, refer to Freshwater sys-tem, Flushing page 97.

Volvo Penta recommend ”Volvo Penta Coolant VCS,Ready Mixed” or the concentrate ”Volvo Penta CoolantVCS” mixed with pure water according to specifica-tions, see Technical Data page 131.

Volvo Penta Coolant VCS and VCS Ready Mixed arebased on organic acid technology (OAT). Using othertypes of coolant, such as conventional or hybrid types,can drastically reduce the heat transfer and result inoverheating of the engine.

Coolant, Mixing

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

IMPORTANT!Different types 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 –24°C (–11°F). At60% glycol concentration, the freezing point is loweredto –46°C (–51°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 fulfil the requirements specifiedby Volvo Penta; refer to Technical Data page 131.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.

Checking the coolant level

WARNING!Do not open the coolant filler cap when the engine ishot, except in emergencies, this could cause seriouspersonal injury. Steam or hot fluid could spray out.

The coolant level must reach the filler pipe lower rim.

If a separate expansion tank is fitted, the coolant levelmust be between the MIN and MAX marks.Where necessary, top up coolant in accordance withthe instructions below.

Filling with coolant

WARNING!Burn hazard. Steam and hot fluid may spray out. Stopthe engine and allow it to cool before opening the fillercap.

IMPORTANT!Top up with the same type of coolant as already usedin the system. Different types of coolant must not bemixed.

Topping upTop up coolant to the correct level through the filleropening on the expansion tank. Fill slowly, to allow airthat is displaced to flow out through the filler opening.

When filling an empty system, or if for some reason thecoolant level has sunk sow low that it cannot be seenthrough the filler opening, filling must be carried outaccording to “Filling a completely empty cooling sys-tem”.

Filling a completely empty cooling system

1 Mix a sufficient quantity of coolant in a vessel beforefilling. Note that if a heating system, water heater orsimilar is connected to the engine cooling system,a correspondingly greater quantity of coolant will berequired.

2 Also make sure that any heating system, waterheater or similar connected to the engine coolingsystem is vented (open the heater regulator valve).

3 Fill coolant through the filler opening in the expan-sion tank.Fill slowly, to allow displaced air to flow out throughthe filler opening.

4 Fill coolant to the lower rim of the filler pipe.

5 Start the engine and let it idle untill it has reachedoperating temperature.IMPORTANT!Do not let the engine work under load until the sys-tem is vented and completely filled.

6 Stop the engine and let it cool. Check the coolantlevel.

• Charge batteries if they have become discharged.During charging, unscrew the cell plugs but leavethem in 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 designed electrical installation may gen-erate leakage current from the electrical system. Leak-age current can in turn render galvanic protection inad-equate in respect of propellers, propeller shafts, rudderposts, the 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.

The following must always be heeded:

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 circuit 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.

DriveThe propulsion unit has an electronically controlledhydraulic clutch. Two soleniod valves, primary (for-ward gear) and secondary (reverse gear), is controlledby electrical signals from the operator’s control levers.

The propulsion unit's lubrication system is equippedwith an oil filter and an oil cooler.

The propulsion unit is protected against galvanic cor-rosion. This protection consists of sacrificial anodes.An active corrosion protection, ACP, is optional. Faultyelectrical installation can also cause the breakdown ofthe galvanic protection. Damage due to electrolyticcorrosion occurs rapidly and is often extensive. Forfurther information please refer to Mainte-nance page 103.

Transmission lubricant, checkingand topping upIMPORTANT!The drive must be stopped for at least 12 hours beforea correct oil level check can be made. Check the oillevel every day before the engine is started.

Open the oil filler cap (1) so that excess pressure isreleased. Undo the oil dipstick (3) with the aid of astandard 1/2" extension (2). Dry off the oil dipstick andreplace it in the drive; do not screw down the oil dipstickwhen checking the oil level. Pull out the oil dipstickagain and check the oil level. The correct level is withinthe marked area.

Top off with oil through the oil filler (1); refer to Stern-drive for oil grade and volume.

When checking oil level, also check that the oil doesnot show signs of water emulsion. Oil should have agolden-brown hue; a milky or gray color is an indicationof water emulsion. In this case let a Volvo Penta work-shop carry out a test.

WARNING!Use of other transmission oils than recommended may result in increased gear shifting delay and show otherhandling characteristics than what you are used to with the factory filled Volvo Penta approved oil.

IMPORTANT!For transmissions in the marine environment, it is extremely important that the correct transmission oil is used.Using an incorrect transmission oil may very quickly affect transmission life and function. Extensive testing hasresulted in an oil developed to optimize the friction in clutch packages and maximize the lifetime for gears andbearings. AB Volvo Penta accepts no responsibility or liability for any damage or cost arising due to use of otheroils than recommended.
