In Case of Emergency Despite regular service in accordance with the planned maintenance schedule and perfect operating conditions, faults may occur that must be remedied before the boat can continue its trip. This chapter provides advice on how to remedy a number of conceivable faults. When certain faults occur safety functions engage to protect the engine. The following may occur: •
Engine cannot be started.
•
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 “Fault catalogue” chapter.
