When the engine starts, move the throttle lever back until the
engine is running about 2,500 rpm or less. Check the gauges for
normal readings and let the engine run for a minute to burn the
excess fuel. If the gauge readings are abnormal, stop the engine
and contact your Correct Craft Dealer. When the engine runs
normally, check the engine for fuel, water and exhaust leaks. If
there are leaks, stop the engine and correct them before you
continue.

NOTICE

Read the “Notice to Dealer” sticker inside the engine hatch. These
preparation checks have probably been completed by your dealer,
but it is the owner’s responsibility to check these items. This will
also help you become more familiar with your boat.

After your initial run:

• Check the engine oil level
• Check the transmission oil level
• Check the V-Drive oil level (if applicable)
• Check for leaks (water, fuel and oil)
• Check that engine frame bolts and mounts are tight
• Check that throttle and shift control operates correctly

Section 6

Correct Craft, Inc.

If the engine backfires when you try to

start it, the problem may be more serious than flooding.
DO NOT CONTINUE TRYING TO START THE ENGINE.
CONTACT YOUR CORRECT CRAFT DEALER OR A
QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
DO NOT keep trying to start the engine under these
conditions. Engine damage or personal injury can
result.
