Welcome aboard
Volvo Penta marine engines are used all over the world today. They are used in all pos-
sible operating conditions for professional as well as leisure purposes. That’s not sur-
prising.
After more than 90 years as an engine manufacturer and after delivering over 500,000
marine engines, the Volvo Penta name has become a symbol of reliability, technical in-
novation, top of the range performance and long service life. We also believe that this is
what you demand and expect of your Volvo Penta engine.
We would like you to read this operator’s manual thoroughly and consider the advice
we give on running and maintenance before you cast off on your maiden voyage so that
you will be ensured of fulfilling your expectations.
Best regards
AB VOLVO PENTA

If operations are performed incorrectly this could result in personal injury, or damage to
property or the engine. Read the Operator's Manual carefully before operating or servic-
ing the engine. If anything is unclear please contact your Volvo Penta dealer for assist-
ance.
This symbol is used in the book and on the engine to make you aware of safety information.
Always read these safety precautions very carefully.
In the Operator's Manual warning texts have the following priority:
WARNING! If these instructions are not followed there is a danger of personal injury, exten-
sive damage to the product or serious mechanical malfunction.
IMPORTANT! Used to draw your attention to something that can cause damage, product
malfunction or damage to property.
NOTE!Used to draw your attention to important information that will facilitate work or operations.
This symbol is used in certain cases on our products and refers to important information in
the Operator's Manual. Ensure that warning and information symbols on the engine and trans-
mission are always visible and legible. Replace symbols that have been damaged or painted
over.
Safety Information
Accidents
Statistics show that poor maintenance of boats and
engines and a lack of safety equipment are often the
cause of accidents at sea.
Ensure that your boat is maintained in accordance
with the relevant Operator's Manual and that the nec-
essary safety equipment is on-board and is service-
able.
Daily checklist
Make a habit of checking the engine and engine
compartment visually before operating the boat (be-
fore the engine is started) and after operating the
boat (after the engine has been stopped). This will
help you to quickly detect fuel, coolant and oil leaks
and spot anything else unusual that has, or is about
to happen.
Maneuvering
Avoid violent and unexpected changes in course and
gear engagement. This could cause someone on the
boat to lose their balance and fall over or overboard.
A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Check
that nobody is in the water before engaging ahead or
astern. Never drive near bathers or in areas where
people could be in the water.
Avoid trimming an outboard drive too much, as steer-
ing will be severely reduced.
Safety Information
Checklist
● Safety equipment: Life jackets for all passengers, communication equipment, emergency rockets,
approved fire extinguisher, first-aid equipment, life belt, anchor, paddle, torch etc.
● Replacement parts and tools: impeller, fuel filters, fuses, tape, hose clamps, engine oil, propeller
and tools for any repairs that might have to be carried out.
● Get out your charts and go over the planned route. Calculate distance and fuel consumption.
Listen to the weather reports
● Make sure that relations or contact persons are informed when planning a longer voyage. Re-
member to inform them if your plans have changed or been delayed.
● Tell your passengers and crew where the safety equipment is stored and how to operate it. Make
sure you are not the only person on board who knows how to start the boat and operate it safely.
The list should be supplemented because the requirement for safety equipment varies depending
on the boat type and how it is used etc. We recommend that you contact a local boating or maritime
safety organization for more detailed marine safety information.

Starting the engine
Make a habit of checking the engine and engine compartment visually before operating the boat. This will help
you to quickly detect anything unusual that has or is about to happen. Also check that instruments and the warn-
ing display are indicating normal values when you have started the engine.
Before starting
● Open the cooling water intake sea cock.
Starting method
Press the on/off button (1) to activate the control pa-
nel. The Volvo Penta logo will show in the LCD screen
and two beeps indicate the system is ready.

Starting the engine
29
Operation
Avoid violent and unexpected changes in course and gear engagement. There is a risk that someone aboard will
fall over or overboard.
WARNING! A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Check that nobody is in the water before engag-
ing ahead or astern. Never drive near bathers or in areas where people could be in the water.
Checking instruments
Check the instruments and warning display directly
after starting the engine and then at regular intervals
while driving the boat. Stop the engine if there is an
abnormal reading or any warning lamp comes on and
the alarm sounds. For engines with measuring instru-
ments the following standard values apply:
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 500–1000 rpm lower than maxi-
mum rpm at WOT. Depending on hull type, choice
of propeller, load and conditions etc. the maximum
engine speed at top speed can vary, but it should be
within the WOT range.
30
Operation
Maneuvering
All shifting between ahead and astern must be done
at engine idle speed. Shifting at higher speeds may
damage the drive or reverse gear and will also be
1. uncomfortable for those on board.
2.
2. Move the reverse gear control lever quickly and
firmly into the neutral position. Wait for a moment.
When sailing
When sailing the control lever should be in the
neutral position if the boat is equipped with HS25
reverse gear. If the boat is equipped with
S-drive or MS25 reverse gear the control lever
should be the reverse position if a folding propeller
is used and in neutral position if a fixed propeller is
used.
31
Alarm
If there is an alarm the tachometer LCD screen will
show a flashing warning icon and the alarm buzzer
sound.
If the boat is equipped with an alarm display (optional
extra) the relevant lamp will start to flash.
Please refer to chapter "Instruments" for more infor-
mation about the warning icons and the alarm display
LCD screen indicator lights.
Tachometer
1. Reduce engine speed to idling.
2. Acknowledged the alarm by pressing the multi-
function button (1). The alarm buzzer stops and
the warning icon continues to show in a steady
light until the malfunction is corrected.
Alarm example
32
Stopping the engine
The engine should be run for a few minutes at idle (in neutral) before turning it off. This will avoid boiling and
even out the temperature. This is especially important if the engine has been operated at high engine speeds
and loads.
Stopping
Press the Stop button (1) untill the engine stops run-
ning.
1
After stopping the engine
● Inspect the engine and engine compartment for
any leaks.
● Close the fuel cock and sea cock for the cooling
water intake.
IMPORTANT! Do not forget to open the cocks
before the engine is started again.
● Read off the hours counter and do preventive
maintenance as in the maintenance schedule.
● Switch off the main switch if the boat is not to be
used for some time.
IMPORTANT! Never break the circuit with the
main switches while the engine is running. This
could damage the generator.
Laying up
If the boat is not going to be used for some time but
is being left in the water, the engine must be run to
operating temperature at least once every 14 days.
This prevents corrosion in the engine. If the boat
will not be used for more than two months then
inhibiting should be carried out: See chapter “Laying
up/Launching”.
33
Maintenance schedule
Your Volvo Penta engine and associated equipment is designed to provide high operational reliability and long
service life. They are constructed to withstand the marine environment while also affecting it as little as possible.
Preventive maintenance in accordance with the maintenance schedule will ensure that it retains these qualities
and avoid unnecessary operational disturbances.
Warranty inspection
The prescribed warranty inspection “First Service Inspection” must be carried out at an authorised Volvo Penta
workshop during this first period of operation. Directions for when and how this is to be carried out can be found
in the Warranty and Service Book.
Extended Protection
Volvo Penta offers an Extended Protection for your marine diesel engine, including transmission, if used for plea-
sure use only. To be valid a Extended Protection service has to be performed at the owners cost and expense by
an authorized Volvo Penta distributor, dealer or workshop before the expiry of the 12 months Warranty Period.
Further directions can be found in the Warranty and Service Book.
Maintenance schedule
WARNING! Read the chapter “Maintenance” thoroughly before starting any mainte-
nance work. It contains directions for performing maintenance in a safe and correct
manner.
IMPORTANT! When both operating time and calendar time is given, the one occur-
ring first is to apply. Maintenance points marked with are to be carried out at an

Maintenance
This chapter contains instructions regarding how the above maintenance points should be carried out together
with general technical information. Read the instructions carefully before starting work. Maintenance intervals
are contained in the chapter above. Maintenance schedule
WARNING! Read the safety precautions for maintenance and service in the chapter: Safety Precautions,
before starting work.
WARNING! Unless otherwise specified all maintenance and service must be carried out with the engine
stopped. Stop the engine before opening or removing engine hatches. Immobilize the engine by removing
the ignition key, turning off the power supply with the main switch.
Engine, general
General inspection
Make a habit of “visually” inspecting the engine and
engine room before starting the engine and after
stopping when the engine has been turned off. This
will help you to quickly detect abnormalities that have
occurred or are about to occur.
Look especially carefully for oil, fuel and coolant
leaks, loose bolts, worn or slack drive belts, loose
connections, damaged hoses and electric cables.
This inspection takes only a few minutes but can
prevent serious operating diesturbances and costly
repairs.

Maintenance: Lubrication system
Lubrication system
IMPORTANT! With a new or reconditioned engine, the oil and oil filters must be changed after 20-50 hours
of operation. After that they should be changed every 500 operating hours or at least once a year. Use only
the recommended grades of oil: See the chapter ”Technical Data”.
39
Maintenance: Freshwater system
Freshwater system
The fresh water system is the engines’ internal cooling system, which ensures that the engine operates at the
correct temperature. It is a closed circuit system and must always be filled with a mixture of at least 40 % con-
centrated coolant and 60 % water to protect against internal corrosion, cavitation and damage caused by freez-
ing.
We recommend that you use “Volvo Penta Coolant, Ready Mixed”, alternatively “Volvo Penta Coolant” (con-
centrated) mixed with pure water according to spec, see “Coolant. Mixture”. Only coolant of this quality is suited
too and approved by Volvo Penta.
The coolant should contain ethylene glycol of a good quality with a suitable chemical consistency for an ade-
quate protection of the engine. Using anti-corrosion aditive exclusively is not permitted in Volvo Penta’s engines.
Never use water by itself as coolant.
IMPORTANT! Coolant must be used all year round. This applies even if there is never any risk for frost , to
ensure that the engine has an adequate protection against corrosion.
Future warranty claims on the engine and additional equipment may be rejected if an unsuitable coolant
has been used or if the instructions concerning coolant mixing have not been followed.
NOTE: The anti-corrosive agents become less effective after a time, which means that the coolant must be re-
placed, see “Service schematic”. The cooling system should be flushed out at the same time as the coolant is
replaced, see “Cooling system. Flushing”.

1 Turn the filler cap to the first stop and let any pres-
sure escape from the system before removing the
cap. Top up coolant if necessary. The level should lie
between the filler neck lower edge and the level spur
(1). Reinstall the filler cap.
If a separate expansion tank is installed (optional
extra), the coolant level should be between the MAX
and MIN levels on the extra expansion tank.
IMPORTANT! When filling a completely drained
system the coolant level must be checked after
an hours use because the system is self bleed-
ing. Top up if required.
Coolant. Draining
Put a suitable collection vessel underneath the eng-
ine drain plug (1) and underneath the heat exchan-
ger drain tap (2). Remove the filler cap on the heat
exchanger to let the coolant run out faster. Open the
drain plug (1) and the drain tap (2) and drain off all
coolant. Before new coolant is put in, clean the heat
exchanger as in the following paragraphs.
1 NOTE! Deposit old coolant at a properly designated

Maintenance: Seawater system
Seawater system
The sea water system is the external cooling system of the engine. On engines with a stern drive, the sea water
pump sucks in water via the drive, after which the water passes the sea water filter (optional extra) before it is
pumped through the heat exchanger. Finally, the water is pumped out into the exhaust elbow pipe, where it is
mixed with the exhaust gases.
On engines with a reverse gear, the sea water pump suck in water via the sea water inlet, after which the water
passes the sea water filter (optional extra) and the reverse gear oil cooler before it is pumped through the heat
exchanger. Finally, the water is pumped out into the exhaust bend, where it is mixed with the exhaust gases.
WARNING! There is a risk that water will enter while working on the seawater system (if the boat is in the
water). Water may flow into the boat if a hose, plug or similar object located below the waterline is removed.
So always close the seawater cock. If the boat does not have a seawater cock, the flow of water must be
stopped in a safe manner. The boat must be brought up on land if this is not possible.

Maintenance: Fuel system
Fuel system
All work on the engine injection pump or injectors must be carried out at an authorized workshop. Use only the
recommended grade of fuel: See the chapter ”Technical Data”.
WARNING! Fire risk. When carrying out work on the fuel system make sure the engine is cold. A fuel spill
onto a hot surface or an electrical component can cause a fire. Store fuel soaked rags and other flammable
material in fireproof conditions.
47

Maintenance: Electrical system
Electrical system
WARNING! Always stop the engine and break the current using the main switches before working on the
electrical system. Isolate shore current to the engine block heater, battery charger, or accessories mounted
on the engine.
Main switch
The main switch must never be turned off before
the engine has stopped. If the circuit between the
generator and the battery is cut off when the engine
is running the generator can be seriously damaged.
For the same reason charging circuits must never be
switched over while the engine is running.
Electrical connections
Also check that all electrical connections are dry and
free of oxidation and that there are no loose connec-
tions. If necessary, spray these connections with a
water-repellent spray (Volvo Penta Universal oil).
49
Maintenance: Electrical system
Battery. Maintenance
WARNING! Risk of fire and explosion. Never
allow an open flame or electric sparks near the
battery or batteries.
Cleaning
Keep batteries dry and clean. Oxidation or dirt on
the battery and battery terminals can cause short-
circuits, voltage drop and discharge especially in
damp weather. Clean the battery terminals and leads
to remove oxidation using a brass brush. Tighten the
cable terminals well and grease them with terminal
grease or petroleum jelly.
Topping up
The electrolyte should be 5 - 10 mm over the plates
in the battery. Top up using distilled water if neces-
sary. Charge the battery after topping up for at least
30 minutes by running the engine at fast idle. NOTE!
Certain maintenance-free batteries have special
instructions which must be followed.
50
Maintenance: Electrical system
Battery. Charging
WARNING! Danger of explosion! The batteries
give off hydrogen gas during charging which
when mixed with air can form an explosive gas
- oxyhydrogen A short-circuit, naked flame or
spark can cause a large explosion. Ensure that
the ventilation is good.
51
Maintenance: Electrical system
Electrical installations
Leakage current from the electrical system can be
caused by incorrect installation of electrical equip-
ment. Leakage current can knock out the galvanic
protection of components such as the drive, propel-
ler, propeller shaft, rudder stock and keel and cause
damage by electrolytic corrosion.
52
Maintenance: Electrical system
53
Maintenance: S drive and reverse gear
IMPORTANT! Improperly applied paint or the wrong type of paint on the keel can put the corrosion protec-
tion system out of action. For further information on painting see the chapter: Laying up/Launching

Laying up and launching
Before taking the boat out of the water for winter/out-of-season storage have an authorized Volvo Penta work-
shop inspect the engine and other equipment.
Inhibition should be carried out to ensure that the engine and transmission are not damaged while out of com-
mission during the winter/off-season. It is important this is done properly and than nothing is forgotten. We have
therefore provided a checklist covering the most important points.
WARNING! Read the chapter on Maintenance carefully before starting work. It contains instructions on
how to carry out the work safely and correctly.
Inhibiting
The following are best carried out with the boat in ● Clean the outside of the engine. Do not use a high

Maintenance: Laying up and launching
Drive
The paintwork is part of the drive’s anti-corrosion
protection and it is therefore important that any paint-
work damage is remedied.
Sand down metal surfaces lightly using a 120 grade
paper and a finer grade for painted surfaces. Wash
off using thinners or similar. Any pores in the surface
should be filled and sanded down. Paint using Volvo
Penta original primer and topcoat. Let the paint dry.
The drive should be painted with Volvo Penta anti-
fouling to prevent fouling. Apply according to the
instructions on the packaging.
Underwater hull
Anti fouling agent containing copper oxide can
increase the risk of galvanic corrosion and therefore
should never be used.
61
In case of emergency
Despite regular maintenance according to the maintenance schedule and perfect operation, it may occur faults
which must be attended to before the boat can travel further. This chapter contains tips for rectifying some of the
possible faults.
