transmission shift control lever up and
down until the starter motor operates. See
your Silverton dealer or a competent
technician as soon as possible to obtain
the proper adjustment for the neutral
safety switch. Release the ignition switch
as soon as the engine starts. The engine
alarm buzzer should turn OFF when the
engine oil pressure reaches normal oper-
ating range. The automatic fire extin-
guisher indicator light should remain
illuminated.
If the engine fails to start within
thirty(30) seconds, release the ignition
switch. Allow the starter motor to cool
for at least sixty(60) seconds and then
try again to start the engine. Prolonged
starting attempts may result in starter
motor overheating and damage.
Failure to release the ignition switch
from the START position after the en-
gine starts may result in serious dam-
age to the starter motor and/or engine
flywheel.
If the engine alarm buzzer DOES NOT
turn OFF, turn OFF the engine immedi-
ately if the oil pressure gauge displays
no, or very low, oil pressure. See your
Silverton dealer for inspection and
repair, if necessary. No, or very low, oil
pressure may cause serious damage to
the internal mechanism of your
engine(s).
If the automatic fire extinguisher indi-
cator light DOES NOT remain illumi-
nated, turn OFF the engine(s) immedi-
ately and follow the proper procedure
to check for fire aboard your yacht as
detailed in the Automatic Fire Extin-

Manual. A fire aboard your yacht may
result in serious personal injury or
death.

sufficiently charged to start your engine,
depress the “Parallel Start Switch” simulta-
neously while turning the ignition switch to
START. The parallel start switch draws
power from both batteries during the
starting procedure and it is located on the
helm switch panel. Refer to the Electrical
pages of this section of your Owners
manual for a location of the Switch. Re-
lease both switches immediately after the
engine starts.
DO NOT continue to depress the “Paral-
lel Start Switch” after the engine has
started. Damage to the alternator(s)
may result.
After you have started both engines and
determined they are running properly, the
“warm-up” procedure should be followed
before departing the dock/mooring. The
proper “warm-up” procedure is as follows:
