General
inspection
I CAUTION
Do not let oil, fuel or grease
deposits build up around the
engine as they may increase the
risk of fire in the engine compart-
ment.
Make a habit of visually checking
the engine and its compartment
each time you operate the boat,
before starting the engine: check
for fuel, water or oil leaks, check
the tightness of the different clamps
and bolts, the condition of the belt,
hoses and electrical wirings, the
wear of anodes (if fitted) and the
battery electrolyte level.

Control cables

The engine rpm and the gearbox
shift command are controlled by
mechanical control cables connec-
ted to the control lever.
Adjust the tension of the cable if
necessary. If any defect appears
(rust, crack, etc), the control cable
must be changed.

Stuffing box
I DANGER
A stuffing box lubricated with
raw water taken from the engine
cooling system must never be
installed on a Sail boat or when
the exhaust elbow is below the
waterline. A separated water
supply or a stuffing box lubrica-
ted by grease must be used on
all Sail boat or when the exhaust
elbow is below the waterline.
If the boat is equipped with a brai-
ded-type stuffing box, check the
system's tightness. As this system
is not absolutely tight, it is nor-
mal that a slight amount of water
passes through the stuffing box.
Correct operation is characterized
by a drop-by-drop water intake.
If too much water comes in, stop
the engine and contact your Nanni
dealer as soon as possible.
In any case, always make sure that
the lubrication of the stuffing box is
sufficient.
