The engine on your boat is at the heart of your boat.<br />
Proper attention to and maintenance of your engine<br />
will assure you many hours of pleasurable, safe<br />
boating, and will prevent unnecessary engine problems.<br />
You must, therefore, become thoroughly familiar<br />
with all aspects of the engines proper operation<br />
outlined in the manufacturers Operator’s <strong>Manual</strong>s.<br />
A general maintenance program consists of proper lubrication,<br />
cleaning of fuel filters, fuel lines, and air filters.<br />
! CAUTION !<br />
Take proper care when washing down, or cleaning<br />
your engines, that water does not enter the air<br />

the cylinders, resulting in rust and possibly internal<br />
engine damage.<br />
