Some boats may not have Volvo Penta instruments. Page Trim Instruments Features Trim instruments The trim instrument indicates the current trim position. Your boat may be equipped with an analog or a digital trim instru- ment, as shown. The SX drive has an analog trim instrument only.

The DP-S drive may have either an analog or a digital trim instrument. Page 38 Features Digital trim instrument DP-S This instrument displays a figure the angle of the drive to a stationary boat within a range. Trim range: Use trim range for maximum comfort, under normal operation, from start to maximum speed maximum range up to 5. Beach range: Use beach range for operating at reduced speed in shallow water, where water depth is uncertain.

If there is obvious or suspected damage, operate the boat at low RPM and take it to a Volvo Penta dealer for inspection. Have necessary repairs made immediately. Only operate your boat if absolutely necessary. Operating a damaged unit could cause additional damage and could become very costly to repair.

Ask your Volvo Penta dealer to assist you in choosing a propeller that is right for your needs. Page 41 e. Do not mix or split sets.

The unique design of the Duoprop, with its two counter rotating propellers, is very important in achieving optimum performance. Twin engine installation Your Volvo Penta drive unit can be set up to rotate in either di- rection. The propeller, propeller shaft, and vertical drive shaft are the only parts that counter-rotate. The engine always has standard rotation. Page 43 To provide your boat with the best engine life, fuel economy, and performance, select the correct propeller to allow the en- gine to run at full throttle in the recommended operating range.

Your Volvo Penta dealer will help you to choose the correct propeller s for your application. Replace a damaged propeller right away. Search Advanced search…. New posts. Search forums. Log in.

Page Instrumentation Instrumentation The instrument panel for Volvo Penta petrol engines is equipped with a tachometer, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, voltmeter, 2 fuses, instrument lighting switch and an ignition switch.

Instruments, fuses and ignition switch can also be installed separately without an instrument panel. Page 19 6. Fuses, 8 A Fuses for the starter function and system voltage. To change fuses: Press the button and turn anti- clockwise. See your Volvo Penta dealer for installation of an emergency stop switch.

Page Controls The shift function and engine speed control are combined in one lever. The shift function can be simply disengaged so that only engine speed is affected. The Volvo Penta controls are available for top or side mounting.

The control levers have an adjustable friction brake. A neutral position switch is available as an accessory, this will only permit the engine to be started with the drive disengaged. Page 22 Adjustment of friction brake The friction brake only affects engine speed adjust- ment.

Remove the cover over the control. For side- mounted controls the lever must first be removed. Adjust the friction brake by turning the screw at the arrow see figure. The purpose of Power Trim is to al- low the helmsman to change the angle at which the drive is set, without leaving the cockpit. Changing this angle relative to the bottom of the boat is referred to as trimming.

Page 24 Control lever Control button 2 in the control lever is used to raise the bow, by pressing the top half, and to lower the bow by pressing the lower half of the button.

The DP-S drive can either have an analogue or digi- tal trim instrument. It has a scale with five segments and three main ranges: 1. Max trim up to 5. Speed should always be low, max. Drive up completely 41 - Page Impact Protection Check engine compartment for water leakage.

If there is obvious or suspected damage, operate boat at low RPM and take your boat to a Volvo Penta dealer for inspection. Have necessary repairs made immediately. Operating a damaged drive unit could cause additional damage and could become very costly to repair. Page Starting The Engine Starting the Engine Familiarize yourself with the operation of the remote control supplied with your boat, then proceed as follows.

Pumping bilge: Frequently check bilge for leaking engine, power steering, or trim system oil. Find the cause and correct it immediately. Regulations prohibit the pumping of oil into any navigable wa- ters. Do not start engine out of water unless using a flushing adapter. When using a flushing adaptor, re- move the propellers befor starting engine to prevent accidental contact with moving propel- lers. If propellers are not removed, personal injury could result. In this th- rottle position and the engine speed below RPM cranking speed the ECM turns off the fuel injectors so no fuel is delivered.

If the boat has two or three engines, it is important that they are all running during maneuvers astern rearward movement , otherwise water might get into the exhaust of the engine which is not running when the backwash catches up with the boat. Page Engine Protection Mode To reset the Engine Protection Mode after the problem is corrected, allow the engine to cool and then continue with normal operation.

If your boat is equipped with a non-Volvo When leaving or approaching the dock, or for any clo- Penta remote control system, ask your dealer how to se maneuvering at slow speed, place the starboard properly operate it. Page Cruising Speed Operating the engine at wide open throttle WOT should be avoided since it is both uneconomical and uncomfortable. Volvo Penta recommends a cruising speed in the range - rpm lower than maxi- mum rpm at WOT.

Depending on hull type, choice of propeller, load and conditions etc. Page 35 When starting Trim the drive. The bow will be pressed down and the boat accelerates faster. This gives improved running and steering characteristics at speeds below the pla- ning threshold. At planing speed Trim the drive out to the running position which feels comfortable and the boat feels stable and smooth.

Page Running Aground If this is the case or if other damage has occurred to the drive it must be inspected at an authorized Volvo Penta workshop. If a propeller has been damaged it must be replaced.

Page After Use After use To counteract boiling and heat stress the engine should be run for a few minutes at idle in neutral before turning it off. This is especially important if the engine has been operated at high engine speeds rpm. Before stopping the engine: The drive must be trimmed in to its maximum to protect the trim cylinders untreated surfaces from fouling.

If boat is moored for long periods, tilt drive unit out of the water except during freezing temperatures. When removing the boat from the water, lower drive Do not use a wire brush or other steel tools when cleaning, as these may damage the galvanic protection. Fuel is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions.

Al- ways stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the boat when re- fuelling. When filling the fuel tanks, ground the tanks to the source of fuel by holding the hose nozzle firmly against the side of the deck filler plate or ground it in some other manner.

Page Electronic Engine Control It has a memory that stores diagnostic infor- mation in the form of service codes to aid your Volvo Penta dealer when diagnosing performance pro- blems. Contact your Volvo Penta dealer if service is required. The electronics in the EEC require protection from false signals and interference.

Page Maintenance And Care The following chapter has a maintenance schedule which shows when maintenance operations must be carried out. Always use Volvo Penta Original Spare Parts, otherwise you run the risk of losing the original quality of the product, quite literally bit by bit. Page 43 Alternator belt With engine off, check alternator belt deflection mid- way A between the circulating pump pulley 1 and the alternator pulley 2.

To increase belt tension: Loosen alternator mounting screws and nuts, and pivot alternator away from engine to increase belt tension. Page 44 To increase belt tension: Loosen pump mounting screws.

Never pry against the pump reservoir or pull filler neck. While maintaining pressure on pump, retighten all mounting screws.
