Move the THROTTLE to raise the engine speed to 1000 rpm on the TACHOMETER. Warm the engine

for about 5 minutes before engaging transmission. Observe the readings of the gauges. The oil pressure

will register about 50-60 PSI when the engine is cold. The engine temperature should rise slowly.

Note -- If oil pressure is low, shut down engine, and inspect engine compartment and look for possible

cause (for example, loss of oil.)

Caution -- If an engine is overheating or there is lack of raw water

expelled in the engine exhaust, stop the engine immediately. Recheck the raw water-cooling system to

ensure the seacock is 'open' (handle in-line with valve). Next, check the raw water strainer for debris.

Remove the strainer, clean, re-assemble, and reopen the raw water intake valve (seacock). Restart the

engine and re-check water flow from the exhaust. If water is not flowing properly, the RAW WATER

PUMP may need to be serviced. Seek help.

Shut-Down

Before shutting down, allow the engines to 'idle' for about 5 minutes to cool them gradually and

uniformly.

The time engaged in preparing to dock the boat is usually sufficient. Ensure each

GEARSHIFT is in the 'neutral' position and each THROTTLE is in the 'idle' position. Turn off engines

by pushing and holding "Stop" button until engine comes to complete stop. Then turn key off.

DISCONNECT the shore power cord (see 110-Volt next page). Close the PORTHOLES, WINDOWS,

and FORWARD HATCH. Turn on your VHF and electronics. ASSIGN crew members their various

positions. Once outside the marina, idle the engines while crew brings in fenders and lines. "Singling up"

lines so they can be released from on board the boat is a good and safe way to release mooring lines.

All close quarters maneuvering should always take place at the upper helm. Because Defiant II carries

her dingy on the foredeck—virtually all operating of vessel should take place at the upper helm.

Engage the GEARSHIFTS. Ensure the throttles are in the 'idle' position before engaging the gearshifts to

avoid transmission damage. Cruising speed is a maximum of about 2,000 RPMS. If you run at 2,000

RPMS you will cruise at 15 knots and use only 12 gallons of diesel per hour. Your speed will vary

depending upon the weight and load and weather conditions. TRIM TABS can be adjusted for comfort

and visibility by putting in the "bow down" position. Remember to raise TRIM TABS when coming in to

dock or anchorage.

Note -- Avoid higher engine speeds as it causes higher engine temperature, possible damage, and higher

fuel consumption. In general, lower RPMs result in much improved fuel economy.

During docking, use the FLYBRIDGE HELM for greater visibility. Have your crew make ready the lines

and fenders and give clear instructions on how you will be docking. Often times your crew will need to

step off from the swim step with the stern line. Another crew member will need to be at the bow or mid-

ships to hand over the next lines.

You can often request a "Port tie" or "Starboard tie" when getting a

slip assignment.
