Remember
• Safety equipment: Life jackets for everybody aboard, communication equipment, emergency
rockets, 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 and
tools 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 to
notify changed plans or delays.
• Inform everybody aboard about where the safety equipment is located, and how it works. Make
sure 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, and
where or how it is used etc. We recommend that you ask a regional boat or sea safety organization
for more detailed maritime safety information.
Lubrication system
Hot oil can cause burns. Avoid skin contact with hot
oil. Ensure that the lubrication system is not under
pressure before commencing work on it. Never start
or operate the engine with the oil filler cap removed,
oil can spray out.
The Operator’s Manual describes the engine and equipment sold by Volvo Penta. The illustrations in this book
covers several varieties and might differ, the essential information is always correct though. The specifications,
design features and illustrations in this manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make alterations without
prior notification.
Installations with e.g. different controls and instrumentation might occur, in these cases we refer to this products

WARNING!
Never use start spray or similar agents to start an engine. This may cause an explosion in the inlet manifold.
Danger of personal injury.
Before Starting
• Open the fuel cock.
• Open the sea cock where fitted.
• Check the engine and transmission oil level.
• Check the coolant level.
• Turn the main switches on.
IMPORTANT!
Never disconnect the current with the main
switches when the engine is running. The alter-
nator and electronics could be damaged.
• Start the engine bay fan, where fitted, and allow it to
run for at least four minutes.
• Check that there is sufficient fuel for the planned trip.

the engine has started.
If repeated start attempts are needed, the key must be
turned back to position 0 first.
Overheating protection
If the starter motor is engaged for its maximum activa-
tion time (30 seconds), the starter motor circuit is cut
P0012497 automatically to protect the starter motor from over-
heating. If possible, leave the starter motor to cool for
at least five minutes before making a new start attempt.
IMPORTANT!
Never race the engine when it is cold.
WARNING!
A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Check that nobody is in the water before engaging ahead or astern.
Never drive near bathers or in areas where people could be in the water.
Alarms
Alarms and messages are shown in the information
display, some alarms do also have a sound alarm. Is
there an alarm instrument installed the lamp in ques-
tion will flash.
Maneuvering
Shifting between forward and reverse should be done
at idling. Shifting at higher engine speeds can be
uncomfortable for passengers and cause unnecessary
stress on the transmission or cause the engine to stop.
If you attempt to shift gear at an excessive engine
speed, a safety function cuts in automatically, and
delays shifting until engine speed has fallen to 1500
rpm.
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 reversing
maneuvers, to avoid the risk of water entry via the
exhaust pipe into the stationary engine.
Helm Stations
This section describes the interchange and activation
of helm stations for type-approved and non-type-
approved installations.
Local station
The local helm station has superiority over both the
main helm station and remote helm station. The local
helm station is always able to take over control from
another active helm station without unlocking the
active helm station first.
If there is an additional local helm station that is active
it must first be unlocked in order to transfer control to
another local helm station.
Main Station
The main helm station has superiority over the remote
helm station but is subordinate to the local helm sta-
tion.
In order for the main helm station to take control from
an active local helm station or another main helm sta-
tion the active helm station must be unlocked first. The
main helm station can take control from a remote helm
station without unlocking the remote helm station.
Remote station
The remote helm station is subordinate to the local
helm station and the main helm station.
The active helm station must first be unlocked in order
to activate the remote helm station.
Cruising Speed
For best fuel economy operations at full must be
avoided. We recommend a cruising speed that is at
least 10% below the maximum engine revolutions at
top speed (full throttle).
Depending on hull type, the choice of propeller, the
load and sea state etc., the maximum revolutions at
top speed may vary, but they should be within the full
throttle range; refer to Technical Data page 92.
IMPORTANT!
Never disconnect the current with the main switches
when the engine is running. The alternator and elec-
tronics could be damaged..
IMPORTANT!
Make sure the starter key is in 0-position or removed
before main switches are switched off. Otherwise the
alternator and electronics could be damaged.

Engine, General
General inspection
Make a habit of visually checking the engine and
engine bay before starting, and after operations when
you have stopped the engine. This will help you to dis-
cover abnormalities quickly, or if something is about to
happen.
Look especially carefully for oil, fuel and coolant lea-
kages, loose bolts, worn or poorly-tensioned drive
belts, loose cable connections, damaged electrical
cables and hoses. This inspection only takes a few
minutes and can prevent serious malfunctions and
expensive repairs.
WARNING!
Accumulations of fuel, oil and grease on the engine or
in the engine room is a fire hazard and must be
removed immediately they are detected.
WARNING!
If an oil, fuel or coolant leak is detected, the cause must
be investigated and the fault rectified before the engine
is started.
IMPORTANT!
P0006752
Scrap the old filter. It must not be cleaned.
General
Check belts after operation while they are still hot. It
should be possible to depress an alternator belt or
drive belt around 3–4 mm (0.012–0.016") between pul-
leys.
IMPORTANT!
Always replace belts that are worn or flawed (belts that
work in pairs must be replaced together).
Both the alternator belts and drive belt have automatic
belt tensioners and should not need adjusting.
Lubrication System
Oil change intervals can vary depending on oil grade
and sulphur content of the fuel, please refer toTechni-
cal Data page 93.
P0002089
IMPORTANT!
Do not fill above the maximum oil level. Use only oil of
the recommended grade (refer to chapter Oil Grade
and Oil Change Interval).
WARNING!
Hot oil and hot surfaces can cause burns.
Fuel System
Only use the grades of fuel recommended in the fuel
specification, see Technical Data page 93. Always
observe the greatest cleanliness during re-fuelling and
work on the fuel system.
All work on the unit injectors of the engine must be
carried out by an authorized workshop.
WARNING!
Fire hazard. When carrying out work on the fuel system
make sure the engine is cold. A fuel spill onto a hot
surface or an electrical component can cause a fire.
Store fuel soaked rags so that they cannot cause fire.
CAUTION!
Open the tap with caution. Hot fuel can spray out in
any direction.
Running engine
WARNING!
Hot fuel can cause burns.
Stopped engine

1 Place a suitable container underneath the fuel filter.
2 Remove the protective cap from the venting nipple
(1) on the filter holder. Connect a transparent hose
to the nipple and lead it to the recovery container.
3 Open the venting nipple and pump fuel with the
hand pump (2) until the fuel is free from bubbles.
Close and tighten the venting nipple while fuel is
running out.
4 Remove the hose and fit the protective cap back
onto the venting nipple.
5 Run the engine at idle for a few minutes to remove
any remaining air from the system. The close the
venting nipple (1) on the engine and check that it
does not leak.
Fuel pre-filter
Volvo Penta fuel pre-filters are supplied in single and
double models.
Checks
The double filter is fitted with a pressure gauge 1 that
indicates when it is time to replace the filter cartridges.
WARNING!
Working with or approaching a running engine is a
safety risk. Watch out for rotating components and hot
surfaces.
Draining
Place a vessel under the filter. Empty the water and
sediment through the plugs (2).
1 Place a vessel under the filters and shut off the filter
to be replaced.
2 Undo the T-bolt (2) and remove the cover (3).
3 Carefully remove the cartridge with a turning move-
ment.
4 Empty the water and sediment through the drain
hole (4).
5 Insert a new filter cartridge and fill the holder with
clean fuel.
6 Replace the cover gasket and the T-bolt O-ring.
Moisten the gasket and the O-ring with fuel before
they are installed.
7 Install the cover and tighten it by hand.
8 Dry up any fuel spills.
9 Replace the other filter in the same way.
10 Open the fuel taps and put the lever in the normal
operating position. Check that there are no leaks.
Freshwater System
The freshwater system is the engine's internal cooling
system that ensures that the engine operates at the
correct temperature. It is a closed system that must
always be filled with a coolant mixture in order to pro-
tect the engine against internal corrosion, cavitation
and frost bursting.
IMPORTANT!
Coolant of a suitable chemical composition must be
used all year round. This applies even when there is
no risk for frost damage, so that the engine always has
complete corrosion protection.
The use of anti-corrosion agents alone is not permitted
in Volvo Penta engines. Never use water alone as the
coolant.
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 each
other!
Topping up
IMPORTANT!
When topping up, use the same coolant mixture as is
already in the cooling system.
Coolant, Draining
1 Remove the filler cap from the expansion tank.
2 Connect a suitable hose to each drain point (D).
Open the drains and allow the coolant to drain off
into a suitable vessel.
IMPORTANT!
Check that all coolant really does drain out. Depos-
its may need to be cleared away, inside the drain
plug(s)/tap(s).
3 Continue with all the drain points until all have been
opened and all coolant has been drained off.
4 Drain all other systems connected to the freshwater
system, e.g. heater, water heater, etc.
5 Close all drains.
Seawater System
The seawater system is the engine’s external cooling
system. The seawater system sucks in water through
the seawater inlet and pumps it through the heat
exchanger and the reverse gear oil cooler. The system
is protected from galvanic corrosion by means of zinc
anodes located in the heat exchanger and the reverse
gear oil cooler.
WARNING!
Risk of water entry. Water will flow into the boat if any
hose, plug etc. located below the waterline is removed
when the boat is in the water. Always close the sea
cocks. If the boat does not have sea cocks the water
flow must be blocked in a safe manner. If this is not
possible, the boat must be drawn up on land before
work starts.
IMPORTANT!
Check that the water really drains. Deposits may need
to be removed from inside the drain plugs/taps.
IMPORTANT!
Always carry a spare impeller on board.
WARNING!
Risk of water entry. Close the seawater cocks before
doing any work on the seawater system.
CAUTION!
Burn hazard! Steam may evaporate through the drain
hole.
IMPORTANT!
If a large amount of coolant flows out of the drain hole,
the charge air cooler must be removed and pressure
tested.
Electrical System
WARNING!
Always stop the engine and break the current using the
main switches before working on the electrical system.
Isolate shore current to the engine block heater, bat-
tery charger or accessories mounted on the engine.
WARNING!
If maintenance has to be carried out on a powered up
system, precautions to prevent remote start has to be
made.
General
