NOTE: OWNERS WARRANTY REGISTRATION CARD IS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL.
NOTICE: Registration lists must be maintained by the factory and dealer on marine products sold in the United States and some foreign countries, should notification under FEDERAL BOAT SAFETY ACT be required. It is our desire to have all products registered at the factory, should it ever be necessary to contact you. Make sure your Dealer/Distributor fills out the registration card immediately and sends the card to the factory.
ENGINE OPERATION AND CARE
Considering the investment that you have made in your new PCM engine, we know you will want to operate and maintain it properly. We urge you to follow the maintenance instructions contained in your engine's &quot;Operation and Maintenance Manual.&quot; If you have any questions on how to keep your engine in good working condition, see your selling dealer, the place where many owners choose to have their maintenance work done. Your dealer can be relied on to use proper parts and practices.
It is recommended that receipts covering the performance of regular maintenance be retained. Damage to your engine, caused by lack of maintenance, is not covered under your warranty. Receipts can be very important if a question arises as to whether a malfunction is caused by lack of maintenance or a defect in material or workmanship. An &quot;Engine Maintenance Log&quot; is provided in the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE section of the OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for your convenience in recording the service performed.
To obtain service or make a claim under your warranty, contact your selling dealer. They have trained technicians, knowledge, special tools, and equipment to properly service your engine, if the need arises. They know you and your boat the best.
If you are away from home and your local dealer, and the need for service arises, contact the nearest authorized PCM dealer. Refer to the yellow pages in the telephone directory. If, for any reason, you cannot obtain service, contact Pleasurecraft Marine Engine Co. for referral to the nearest authorized servicing dealer.
REPLACEMENT PART INQUIRIES
All inquiries concerning replacement parts should be directed to your local authorized dealer. The dealer has the necessary information to order parts for you if they are not in stock. Only authorized distributors can purchase parts from the factory. PCM does not sell to unauthorized dealers or retail customers. When checking on parts, the dealer will require the engine model and serial number to order the correct parts.
Electrical, ignition and fuel system components on PCM engines are designed and manufactured to comply with U.S. Coast Guard rules and regulations to minimize the risks of fire or explosion. Use of replacement electrical, ignition or fuel system components, which do not comply with these rules and regulations, could result in a fire or explosion hazard and should be avoided. When servicing the electrical, ignition and fuel systems, it is extremely important that all the components are properly installed and tightened. If not, any electrical or ignition component opening would permit sparks to ignite fuel vapors from fuel system leaks, if they existed.

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD DANGER
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. You cannot see it, smell it or taste it. Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage or death! Carbon monoxide is produced when anything that contains carbon, such as gasoline, natural gas, oil, propane, coal or wood is burned. Carbon monoxide is commonly found in the exhaust of internal combustion engines (boat power plants, generators, etc.). In addition, open flame devices like cooking ranges, heaters and charcoal grills also produce carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide accumulation, in and around boats is affected by vessel geometry; overall vessel design; closeness to other structures; wind direction; boat speed; and many other variables. In no way can this section cover all of the possible variables. Do not rely on this section as the exclusive listing of measures to prevent the accumulation of carbon monoxide. Consult your boat operators manual for detailed information on the inspection and/or maintenance of the exhaust system for your particular application. If an inspection reveals possible leaks, DO NOT operate your engine(s) until it can be serviced by a qualified technician. Proper and adequate air circulation, around and throughout the boat, is absolutely necessary to aid in the prevention of carbon monoxide build-up. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the operation of your boat and carbon monoxide hazards, DO NOT operate your engines until you have contacted your boat manufacturer. To find out more about making boating safer, including how you can prevent carbon monoxide poisoning on recreational boats, contact: National Marine Manufacturers Association 200 East Randolph Drive Suite 5100 Chicago, IL 60601-6528 www.nmma.org 312-946-6200 United States Coast Guard Office of Boating Safety CG Headquarters G-OPB-3 2100 Second Street SW Washington, DC 20593 www.uscgboating.org 202-267-0984 American Boat &amp; Yacht Council, Inc. 3069 Solomon's Island Road Edgewater, MD 21037-1416 www.abyc.com 410-956-1050
The nation's waterways are becoming increasingly crowded and, in order to enjoy them safely, the operator should acquaint himself/herself with safe boating practices. Boating safely and seamanship courses are offered by the following national and state organizations: · · · · Power Squadrons Coast Guard Auxiliary Red Cross State, provincial or local agencies in charge of water safety enforcement The following is a list of suggested safety equipment and spare parts which may be useful in case of an emergency: · · · · · · · · · · · Approved personal flotation devices (life jackets); one for each person on board. Approved throwable personal flotation device for man-overboard protection.

The PCM Engines covered in this manual are equipped with an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, which allows precise control of fuel and spark delivery. The fuel system components of the EFI system are: · · · The electric fuel pumps The throttle body assembly The fuel injectors
The fuel injection system is controlled by an Electronic Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the decision center of the system. The ECM constantly monitors information from various sensors on the engine, and electronically processes the information, in order to control ignition timing and fuel delivery for optimum performance and fuel economy. The ECM incorporates an engine overspeed protection, calibrated to a specific RPM, to prevent engine damage from over-revving. The sensors that the ECM monitors are: · · · · · · · · · · Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Throttle Position (TP) Sensor Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Knock Sensor (KS) System Crankshaft Positioning (CKP) Sensor Camshaft Positioning (CMP) Sensor Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor Throttle Control Position (TCP) Sensor Pre-Catalyst Oxygen (O2) Sensors Post-Catalyst Oxygen (O2) Sensors
Additional Sensors for CES ENGINES
If, for any reason, one or more of these sensors or associated wiring malfunctions, the ECM's built-in selfdiagnostic system sets a trouble code and turns on the &quot;MIL&quot; Malfunction Indicator Lamp to alert the operator of a malfunction. In most cases, when the &quot;MIL&quot; is on, the engine(s) may lose some performance and/or efficiency, but remain running adequately. Also, the light may go out or become intermittent, but a trouble code will be logged for future diagnosis. (See Engine Alarm System - page 16) In any case, the operator must obtain service by an authorized PCM Premier dealer to determine the exact cause of the malfunction.
The PCM engine electronic system is programmed to control the engine alarm system. This system utilizes an indicator lamp (&quot;MIL&quot; or &quot;Check Engine&quot;) and/or an optional audible alarm to warn the operator of possible engine problems. The alarm circuit has a &quot;self&quot; checking feature programmed into the system. This feature will momentarily light the &quot;MIL&quot;, and if equipped, sound the alarm for two short pulses upon initial start-up of the engine. If the &quot;MIL&quot; lights and/or the alarm sounds during operation, observe the instrument panel readings for the possible source of the malfunction, such as low oil pressure or excessive engine temperature readings. Other conditions that may sound the warning buzzer are a transmission over-temperature warning (if equipped), exhaust gas over-temperature warning (if equipped), and for an electronic throttle malfunction. The alarm circuit has a &quot;self&quot; checking feature programmed into the system. This feature will light the &quot;MIL&quot; and &quot;CGL&quot; lamps, and also sound the buzzer for two short pulses upon initial start-up of the engine. NOTE: If, during Key ON, engine OFF, either the MIL or CGL lamps are flashing, this indicates that a stored trouble code or engine fault is recorded in the ECM. Refer to your dealer for proper diagnosis. If the &quot;MIL&quot; or &quot;CGL&quot; lights and the alarm sounds during operation, observe the instrument panel readings for the possible source of the malfunction, such as low oil pressure or excessive engine temperature readings. Other conditions that may sound the warning buzzer are a transmission over-temperature warning (if equipped), exhaust manifold water over-temperature warning , and for an electronic throttle malfunction. IMPORTANT: A failure involving the Electronic Throttle may result in Idle only operation of the engine. The operator must obtain service by an authorized PCM Premier dealer to determine the exact cause of this malfunction as soon as possible. In most cases, when the &quot;MIL&quot; or &quot;CGL&quot; lights are on, the engine may lose some performance and/or efficiency, but remain running adequately. Also, the lights may go out or become intermittent, but a trouble code will be logged for future diagnosis. NOTE: If the MIL is blinking during Key ON, Engine OFF situation, that means there is a stored diagnostic trouble code. In any case, the operator must obtain service by an authorized PCM Premier dealer to determine the exact cause of the malfunction. NOTICE: Some boat builders may install their own alarm system. It is recommended that the boat owner check with his or her boat dealer for an explanation of the particular alarm system upon initial delivery. ISO Icon The Check Gauges Lamp (CGL) is used for notification of any non-emissions-related fault. This is a red indicator lamp to warn the operator of possible engine problems such as low oil pressure or an over temperature condition. The Buzzer is an audible notification to the operator, that may be used in conjuction with the MIL and/or CGL. For events such as an engine over-temperature condition, low oil pressure, etc., the Buzzer will sound for 1/2 second ON, 1/4 second OFF, continuously as an audible warning. For emissions related faults (MIL), the buzzer will initially sound for 5 seconds, then will sound for 1/2 second ON once per minute thereafter. In the event of a MIL circuit failure, MIL circuit functions will be transferred to the Buzzer circuit.

ENGINE ALARM SYSTEM (CES ENGINES)
The PCM engine electronic system is programmed to control the engine alarm system. Your CES Engine Alarm System may utilize up to three (3) alarm circuits to warn you of a potential problem with your engine. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) is used for notification of any emissions-related fault. This is an amber indicator lamp, that may be labeled `Service Soon' or with the ISO icon, to warn the operator of possible engine problems.

Boat manufacturers install many different types of instrumentation on boats. Become familiar with the instrumentation on your boat and be aware of abnormal operating conditions. The following is a brief explanation of typical instrumentation found on most boats: 1. Tachometer - indicates the engine RPM (revolutions per minute) 2. Water Temperature Gauge - indicates the engine coolant temperature 3. Oil Pressure Gauge - indicates the engine oil pressure 4. Voltmeter - indicates the battery voltage and charging system voltage 5. Hour Meter - indicates the engine operating time 6. Fuel Level Gauge - indicates the fuel tank level 7. Check Engine Lamp - indicates a problem with the engine control system 4. Turn the ignition key to the start position. When the engine starts, release the key. NOTICE: Engine idle speed is controlled by the ECM and is based on the operating temperature of the engine. Upon initial start-up, engine RPM will be slightly higher and will automatically decrease as the engine operating temperature increases. 5. In the event the engine becomes flooded, move the throttle lever to a 100% open position. At this throttle position, the ECM will command the injectors to deliver no fuel during engine cranking. When the engine starts, return the throttle back to the idle position. IMPORTANT: If the engine fails to start within 20-30 seconds, turn the ignition key to the OFF position and allow 2 minutes for the starter motor to cool off before attempting to restart the engine. NOTICE: If engine still fails to start, contact your PCM Engine Dealer for service. 6. Check engine oil pressure immediately after the engine starts. If oil pressure is not within specifications (see Engine Specifications), immediately stop the engine and determine the cause. 7. Check voltmeter for proper charging system operation. 8. Check the engine and gear box for fuel, oil, and coolant leaks. 9. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature. Check the temperature gauge to ensure the engine is operating within the normal temperature range. If the temperature is abnormally high, stop the engine immediately and determine the cause.
IMPORTANT: The following items should be checked before starting the engine, and each time the boat is operated: · · · · · · · · Fuel system for any signs of leakage Operation of remote controls and steering Engine and transmission oil levels Fuel tank levels Exhaust system for leaks and tightness of the clamps Battery connections and water level in battery cells Accessory drive belt(s) Cooling system for leaks. Check coolant level. Check for signs of coolant leaks. If the water is leaking externally, it is possible that the water is also leaking internally. This could result in internal engine damage. It is very important to service these maintenance items as soon as a problem is indicated.
When returning to the dock, or whenever stopping the engine, bring the throttle back to the idle position. After the engine reaches idle speed, turn the ignition key to the OFF position. Before stopping the engine after extended high speed operation, allow the engine to idle at 1200 RPM for 3 to 5 minutes to allow the engine to cool down before shutting off the ignition. After stopping the engine, complete the following: 1. Turn the battery switch OFF, if equipped. 2. Close the fuel valve.
After performing the initial safety checks, proceed as follows to start the engine: 1. Turn the battery switch ON (if equipped). 2. Open the fuel valve. 3. Do not pump or open the throttle when starting the engine. The ECM will automatically regulate the fuel and control desired idle speed.
Best all-around performance and maximum engine life is achieved when the engine is propped to run near the top of (but within) the recommended full throttle RPM range with a normal load. See ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS for rated full throttle RPM for your model engine. Generally, gross weight (total weight of the entire boat, including full fuel and water, optional equipment, passengers and other miscellaneous gear) is one of the major factors and should be one of the primary considerations when selecting a propeller. Other factors to take into consideration are as follows: · · · Warmer weather and higher humidity will cause an RPM loss. Operating the boat in a higher elevation will cause an RPM loss. Operating the boat with an increased load will cause an RPM loss (additional equipment, passengers, etc.). If full throttle RPM is above or below the recommended range as stated in ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS, the propeller must be changed to prevent loss of performance.
Model 6.0L (HO) Minimum Full Load 5200 Preferred 5500 Maximum 5600
Prolonged WOT operation will shorten the life of your engine and could cause premature engine failure. See NORMAL CRUISING SPEEDS in SPECIFICATIONS. Problems caused by WOT operation are considered abuse and are not covered under the PCM Warranty. NOTICE: These engines incorporate an RPM &quot;REV LIMIT&quot; in order to prevent the engine from over-revving.
Use this procedure ONLY when conditions are such that it can be done in complete safety. The break-in period of your engine is the first 25 hours of operation. Proper engine break-in is essential to achieve maximum performance, longevity and minimum oil consumption. During the break-in period, the following operation guidelines must be adhered to: · After the engine is thoroughly warmed up, and the boat is underway, open the throttle to wide open throttle until maximum RPM is reached. DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM RPM. (RPM should cease climbing after 10 to 20 seconds). The engine oil level should be checked often and oil added when necessary. It must be understood that every internal combustion engine will use a certain amount of oil during operation to act as a lubricating and cooling agent, especially during the break-in period. Oil consumption should decrease and become stabilized after approximately 100 hours of operation. At the end of your 25-hour break-in period, contact your dealer and have the recommended 25-hour inspection done. NOTICE: PCM Engines assumes no responsibility for the costs related to the 25-hour inspection. This is the owner's responsibility.
DO NOT operate at full throttle in neutral at any time, or at sustained full throttle during the first 5 hours of operation. Thereafter, use sustained wide open throttle in the event of an emergency. · Reduce the throttle to 2800 - 3000 RPM, and cruise at or below this speed for 1/2 hour. Reduce the speed to idle. Go to wide open throttle until maximum RPM is reached and operate for approximately 1 minute. Reduce throttle to 2800-3000 RPM and operate for a few minutes. (Bringing the engine speed from idle to wide open throttle will load the engine and assist in seating the piston rings). This cycle can be repeated from time to time during the first 5 hours of operation, but wide open throttle should not be sustained for more than 1 minute. During the early part of the break in period, the correct propeller selection can be confirmed. (With a normal load aboard, the engine's RPM should reach, but not exceed, the maximum RPM as listed in the specifications section). During the break in, all gauges should be watched carefully, and the speed should be reduced if abnormal readings become evident.
DO NOT attempt to break in any engine by prolong idling, or running at the dock.
After the first 25 hours of operation, it is recommended that the engine be given an inspection. Your boat dealer or a PCM servicing dealer should be contacted to perform the necessary checks and adjustments to ensure the proper engine performance. The following maintenance should be performed: · · · · · · Change the engine oil and filter. Replace the primary fuel filter Check the engine alignment. Inspect the accessory drive belt(s) and check the tension. Check all the fluid levels. Check the throttle cable adjustments and check for freedom of movement. · · Cooling System - Inspect all the hoses for leaks, damage and deterioration. Check all the hose clamps for adequate tightness. Exhaust System - Inspect the entire exhaust system for leaks, damage and deterioration. Battery - Check the electrolyte level and specific gravity. Inspect the case for damage. Check the battery cables and connections. Engine Assembly - Check for loose, missing or damaged parts. Pay close attention to engine mounts, starter and alternator mounting fasteners.
NOTICE: PCM Engines assumes no responsibility for the costs related to the 25-hour inspection. This is the owner's responsibility.
GASOLINE REQUIREMENTS CAUTION
Fire and Explosion Hazard - Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, and , if ignited, can cause serious bodily injury or death. Careful inspection of the entire fuel system including, but not limited to, fuel tanks, fuel lines, fuel filters and all fittings is mandatory, especially after periods of storage. Replace any component that shows signs of leakage, corrosion, deterioration, swelling, hardening or softening. WARRANTY NOTICE: Damage caused to the engine through the use of improper gasoline, low-quality or gasoline with an octane rating below the minimum requirements listed below, is considered misuse of the engine. Such damage is not covered by the PCM Marine Engines warranty. The ignition timing set by the factory requires the use of a high-quality lead-free regular gasoline with the following minimum octane specification. Pump Octane Number (R+M/2) (PUMP) - 93
The implementation of ethanol-based fuel is spreading rapidly throughout the United States. As such, PCM Engines provides the following information regarding the use of this fuel. This information addresses the use of ethanol fuels in PCM ENGINES ONLY. It does not address the use of ethanol fuels in vessel related components such as boat gas tanks, boat fuel lines, etc. Ethanol blended fuel rated E10 or less is acceptable to use. Fuels rated higher than E10 SHOULD NOT BE USED. Ethanol fuels rated higher than E10 could potentially damage the engine and/or present an unsafe boating condition. Damage to the engine resulting from the use of ethanol fuel rated higher than E10 IS NOT covered by the warranty.
Do Not use any gasoline that contains METHANOL. This fuel is very corrosive and will create unsafe operating conditions. Serious damage will result from the continued use of fuel containing METHANOL. Any resulting engine damage will not be covered by the warranty. If ethanol blended fuel rated E10 or less is used, or if the presence of alcohol is uncertain, more frequent inspections and service of the complete fuel system are required. Any sign of fuel leakage or deterioration must be repaired immediately before further engine operation. It is important to note that ethanol blended fuel will act as a solvent and will attract and hold moisture. Without proper fuel stabilization and fuel filtration, ethanol blended fuel may cause the following: · Excessive moisture (water) may cause lean operation to include hard starting and operating difficulties such as, vapor lock, low speed stalling, and shortened fuel shelf life. Acting as a solvent, ethanol blended fuel may cause gum, sediment, sludge, and other particles to be loosened and carried through the fuel system to the engine.

Fuel Stabilizer Recommendations for Ethanol Blend Fuel
The use of a commercially available fuel stabilizer, such as STA-BIL®, is recommended at each fill-up or when storing ethanol-blended fuel for more than 2 weeks.
Use of Supplemental Additives Engine oils meeting PCM Engines' recommendations already contain a balanced additive treatment. The use of supplemental additives which are added to the engine oil by the customer are unnecessary and may be harmful. PCM Engines does not review, approve or recommend such products. Synthetic Oils · Synthetic engine oils may be used in PCM Marine Engines. Synthetic oils must meet the Engine Oil Requirements for Classification and Viscosity listed below. The use of synthetic oil does not permit the extension of oil change intervals. Engine Oil Requirements The following chart shows the recommended oil viscosity for various ambient temperature ranges: Prevailing Ambient Temperature Above 50°F Below 50°F Recommended A.P.I. Classification &amp; Viscosity SAE 15W-40 &quot;GF-4/SM&quot; SAE 5W-30 &quot;GF-4/SM&quot; Regular oil changes - Every 50 hours of operation or 120 days, whichever occurs first WARRANTY NOTICE: PCM Engines reserves the right to refuse warranty on part(s) and/or engine(s) damaged by using improper fuels and engine oils. Oil Change Intervals (Common) Crankcase oil and oil filter change - Recommended intervals: · Initial oil change - 1st 60 days or 25 hours of operation, whichever occurs first
IMPORTANT: The use of oils which contain &quot;solid&quot; additives, non-detergent oils or low quality oils specifically are not recommended.
Refer to the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE for a complete listing of required maintenance and the frequency at which it should be performed. While some procedures may be performed by the owner/operator, PCM Engines strongly recommends that all engine service and maintenance be performed by an authorized PCM Engines Premier Dealer. Before performing any maintenance or repair procedure not covered in this manual, it is strongly recommended that a PCM Engines repair manual be purchased and read thoroughly.
Do Not overfill engine crankcase with oil. Excessive oil can lead to premature engine component failure and/or loss of performance. IMPORTANT: The engine oil level must be checked while the boat is in its normal, level, at rest position on the water. Excessive wave action side to side or fore and aft may cause you to obtain erroneous readings. If the oil level is being checked while the boat is on a trailer, ensure the trailer is on level ground, then adjust the trailer so the boat is at its normal, at rest position. Excess water in the bilge and, if equipped, ballast systems must be purged when checking the engine oil level, otherwise erroneous readings may be obtained. 1. Stop the engine, if running. Allow approximately 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan. 2. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinstall it until it is within two (2&quot;) inches of being fully seated. Slowly move the dipstick up and down approximately one-half (1/2&quot;) several times; then fully seat the dipstick into the dipstick tube. 3. In order to obtain an accurate reading, wait two minutes for the oil to stabilize on the dipstick. Remove the dipstick and observe the oil level. The oil level must be between the &quot;FULL&quot; and &quot;ADD&quot; marks. If the oil level is below the &quot;ADD&quot; mark, add specified oil to bring the level up to, but not over, the &quot;FULL&quot; mark on the dipstick. If the oil level is above the &quot;FULL&quot; mark on the dipstick, remove the excess oil. (Figure 11-1)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RELAY AND FUSE BLOCK
MAIN PANEL FUSE PCM engines are equipped with a 40 Amp PANEL fuse which provides electrical overload protection for the boat's instrumentation wiring and components. Should an electrical overload occur, the PANEL fuse will open and prevent electrical current flow. When this fuse opens, the cause for the high current draw must be found and corrected. Check the battery and alternator connections and all other harness connectors between the boat and the engine main harness. Check for loose or disconnected lead wires and shorted circuits. Replace the PANEL fuse and resume operation. If the cause of the overload cannot be found, consult an authorized PCM Engines dealer to make necessary repairs. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FUSES PCM engines utilize fuses to protect critical engine components and devices. The fuel pump, ECM, ignition components, fuel injectors, starter and diagnostic devices are protected by fuses. The fuse block is mounted on a bracket near the rear of the engine. BOAT'S IGNITION FUSE If the engine will not crank when the ignition key is turned to the START position, first check that the shift lever is in the neutral position and the safety lanyard (if equipped) is attached properly. If none of the Fuse Block fuses are open, check for a blown boat ignition fuse. The boat's ignition fuse may be located on the instrument panel, the fuse holder block or as part of the helm's instrument wiring harness. Check the wiring diagrams supplied from the boat manufacturer for the exact location.
Always disconnect the battery cables from the battery, when servicing the electrical system, to prevent personal injury and to prevent damage to the electrical system components. Figure 11-3 (Typical) Electrical System Relay and Fuse Block
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WIRING AND CONNECTORS
The electrical system wiring and connectors should be checked periodically for loose or dirty connections and damaged wiring. If electrical components or wiring show signs of corrosion, deterioration or damage, consult an authorized PCM Engines dealer to make necessary repairs.
Battery electrolyte is a corrosive acid and should be handled with care. If electrolyte is spilled or splashed on any part of the body, IMMEDIATELY flush the exposed area with liberal amounts of water and obtain medical aid as soon as possible. Safety glasses and rubber gloves are recommended when handling batteries or filling with electrolyte.
It is recommended that the coolant in the fresh-water section be tested each year for alkalinity. Coolant that is not alkaline has lost the effectiveness of its rust inhibitors, which can lead to internal corrosion and cooling system problems. It is recommended to replace the standard ethylene glycol coolant in the system every two years to prevent a build-up of harmful chemicals within the fresh-water system.
Hydrogen gases that escape from the battery when charging are highly explosive. Do not use jumper cables and a booster battery to start the engine. Do not recharge a weak battery in the boat. Remove the battery from the boat and recharge in a well ventilated area away from fuel vapors, sparks and open flames. Follow maintenance instructions and warnings as supplied by the battery manufacturer. If this information is not available, follow these guidelines for the proper battery care. · Do not operate the engine with an open in the battery circuit, as this may cause damage to the alternator. Make sure that all connections are clean and secure. When removing the battery cables, always remove negative (-) cable first, and then remove the positive (+) cable. When installing battery cables, install the positive (+) cable first, then install the negative (-) cable. Periodically check the battery for signs of corrosion, frayed battery leads or cracked case. Repair or replace as necessary. Periodically check the electrolyte level. Add distilled water to bring up to the proper levels. Do not remove cooling system filler cap when the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool and then remove the pressure cap slowly, allowing the pressure to vent. Hot coolant, under pressure, may discharge violently and cause severe burns. 1. Obtain red litmus paper from a local supplier (drugstore, laboratory, etc.). 2. Remove the pressure cap from the coolant filler neck and insert one end of the litmus paper into the coolant. 3. If red litmus paper turns blue, coolant is alkaline and does not need to be replaced. If the litmus paper remains red, the coolant is not alkaline and must be replaced.
FILLING FRESH-WATER COOLING SYSTEM WARNING
Do not remove cooling system filler cap when the engine is hot. Allow the engine to cool and then remove the pressure cap slowly, allowing the pressure to vent. Hot coolant, under pressure, may discharge violently and cause severe burns. A new extended life engine coolant known as DEXCOOLTM is recommended for use in your engine. It is imperative to note the following about DEX-COOLTM engine coolant: · · IT IS PINK IN COLOR TO DISTINGUISH IT FROM CONVENTIONAL COOLANT. THE SERVICE CHANGE INTERVAL ON ENGINES BUILT WITH DEX-COOLTM IS 5 YEARS. TO MAINTAIN FULL CORROSION PROTECTION DURABILITY, DEX-COOLTM MUST NOT BE MIXED WITH CONVENTIONAL (CONTAINING SILICATE) ENGINE COOLANTS. DEX-COOLTM IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL BASED PRODUCT, THEREFORE, BOIL AND FREEZE PROTECTION ARE MEASURED IN THE SAME FASHION AS CONVENTIONAL COOLANTS.
NOTICE: To protect the environment, dispose of coolant properly. Check your local restrictions for proper disposal instructions of removed coolant. NOTICE: Refer to cooling system water flow diagrams for drain locations. 1. Remove the following drain plugs to drain coolant from the fresh-water cooling system: - Remove the large hose from the engine block water circulating pump, or drain plug on circulation pump Drain plugs on the cylinder block (one on each side)
TO FULLY REALIZE ITS MANY ADVANTAGES, DEX-COOLTM MUST NEVER BE MIXED WITH CONVENTIONAL COOLANTS. DEX-COOLTM can become contaminated by inadvertently topping-off with conventional coolant, adding conventional coolant to the system or even if fill/drain containers are shared between coolants. If contamination occurs, the cooling system must be immediately drained and flushed, and refilled with DEXCOOLTM. No short-term damage will occur, however, the service interval will be reduced from 5 years to 2 years. The fresh-water cooling side of the cooling system must be filled with a 50/50 mixture of DEX-COOLTM (or equivalent, which meets GM6277M) extended life antifreeze and water solution. IMPORTANT: More than 50% antifreeze solution can contribute to an overheating condition. 1. Make sure that all drain plugs are properly installed. 2. Remove the pressure cap. Fill the system with antifreeze solution until the system is filled. See ENGINE FLUID CAPACITIES for system capacities. 3. Start the engine and operate at idle speed (800-1000 RPM) to purge any air from the system. When the system is full, install the pressure cap.
2. After system has drained completely, coat all the drain plugs with PerfectSeal (or equivalent) and reinstall in the proper locations. Reinstall the hose(s) on the water circulating pump and tighten the clamps securely.
FUEL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION WARNING
Extreme caution must be exercised when servicing the fuel system and/or replacing fuel filter. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Be sure the ignition key is off and do not smoke or allow open flame in the area while servicing. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
The Fuel Control Cell (FCC) eliminates vapor lock and air ingestion caused by fuel tank slosh, and provides the necessary filtration and water separation. The FCC system incorporates two (2) fuel pumps to provide an uninterrupted flow of fuel to your PCM marine engine. Fuel is fed into the FCC bowl by a low-pressure, high-volume electric fuel pump. This pump flows fuel at a volume much greater than the fuel flow rate required of the high-pressure pump and engine demands. The highpressure pump, mounted inside the FCC bowl, provides the necessary fuel pressure and volume to maintain proper engine performance. The FCC constantly has an ample supply of fuel to meet the idle, cruise and acceleration fuel requirements of the engine. The fuel pressure regulator, located on the fuel rail, controls the fuel pressure, and maintains a constant pressure across the fuel delivery system. Excess fuel, not used by the engine, returns to the FCC bowl. The fuel delivered to the engine by the FCC is filtered by a filter and water separator element, which surrounds the high pressure pump inside the FCC bowl. As indicated above, fuel enters the FCC bowl from two (2) locations, the low-pressure pump (initial input) and the fuel pressure regulator (unused, recirculating fuel). Fuel exits the FCC bowl at two (2) locations, the high-pressure output to the fuel injection system and all excess fuel in the FCC bowl is routed back to the tank via the return line.
Extreme caution must be exercised when servicing the fuel system. The fuel system operates under high pressure. Use caution when removing or replacing components, as residual pressure may be present.
Make sure that there are no fuel leaks before closing the engine hatch.
Visually inspect unit for fuel leaks before operating the engine. If fuel leaks are present, DO NOT operate the engine, contact your service center immediately.
