Operation Learn to handle the engine, controls and other equipment in a safe and correct manner before you cast off on your maiden voyage. Remember to avoid sudden or surprising rudder movements and gear shifting. There is a risk that passengers could fall over or overboard. WARNING! A rotating propeller can cause severe injury. Check that there is nobody in the water before you engage forward / aft drive. Never drive close to bathers or in areas where you could reasonably expect that people could be in the water.
Reading the instruments
Read all instruments directly after starting, and then regularly during your voyage. EVC system tachometer Shows user selected boat and engine information. Oil pressure The oil pressure gauge (analouge or in tachometer) should normally indicate between 3-5 bar. It will indicate a somewhat lower value when idling. Coolant temperature The temperature gauge (analouge or in tachometer) should normally indicate between 75– 95°C (167-203°F) during normal operation. Charging The voltmeter (analouge or in tachometer) should normally indicate about 14V.
Acknowledging alarms and messages There are several types of alarms and messages that can appear as a pop-up in the tachometer/display. NOTE! Some alarms for fault are also accompanied by a buzzer. First silence the buzzer by pushing the NAVIGATION WHEEL on the control panel. 1. Read the alarm/message pop-up. 2. Acknowledge the pop-up by pushing the NAVIGATION WHEEL on the control panel (sometimes repeatedly). The pop-up will disappear. 3. Take the indicated actions. If there is an alarm pop-up of a fault please refer to the ”In case of emergency” and “Fault register” chapters. NOTE! If there is a fuel alarm pop-up it will reappear every 10 minutes until tank is filled. If there is a depth alarm pop-up it will reappear every 30 seconds until the depth exceeds the depth alarm setpoint.
