ENGINE O VERVIEW
It is the owners responsibility to check all of the items below to be certain
all preparation steps have been completed before you use your boat.
Checking these items periodically will soon become habitual. If leaks or other
abnormal conditions are found, stop using the boat and contact your Correct
Craft dealer to have the problem(s) corrected.
The following instructions are vitally important:
• Raise the center engine hatch all the way up. Check to see if all the engine
drain plugs are in. Make sure the hull drain plug down in the bilge and also
the drain plug at the transom are installed.
• Look at all the hoses to make sure they are installed and the hose clamps are
tight. Close the engine hatch and turn on the blower (switch is on the dash).
Run the blower at least four (4) minutes. This helps to remove fuel vapors
that might be down in the bilge before starting engine. Remember, if you
have detected the presence of fuel vapors, do not start engine until source has
been determined, any problems corrected and vapors removed.
Very Important!
• Check all gasoline line connections. These connections are located at the fuel
tank, the Fuel Control Cell and the fuel injection system. All Correct Craft
boats are equipped with anti-siphon valves on the outlet fittings of the fuel
tanks to reduce the chance of fuel siphoning from the fuel tank if a fuel hose
leaks or is severed.
• Fill the fuel tank and check for leaks. Check again for leaks after the engine
has run for a few minutes.
Check list before starting:
1) Engine oil level - boat must be sitting level.
2) Transmission oil level - boat must be sitting level.
3) Shifting linkage and detent in forward, neutral and reverse.
4) Leaks (water, fuel and oil).
5) Coolant level (if the engine is freshwater cooled).
6) Operation of the throttle and transmission shift control.
7) Battery condition.
8) Visually inspect for any loose mounting fasteners.
9) Verify the emergency engine cut off switch located by the throttle is
fully functional. Clip the safety lanyard securely to your body at all times
while you are driving.
10) V-Drive Oil Level - boat must be sitting level
