Sailing with the engine
stopped
If the engine is fitted with a Sail
Drive transmission MODEL SP60,
when cruising under sail with the
engine stopped:
If the blades of the propeller are
foldable:
• Put the throttle lever astern (in
reverse). The blades are closed
when the boat moves forward.
Hydrodynamic resistance crea-
ted by the blades is minimized.
If the blades of the propeller are not
foldable:
• Put the throttle lever astern (in
reverse). The propeller does not
rotate and create hydrodynamic
resistance.
• Put the lever in neutral, the
propeller rotate and create lower
hydrodynamic resistance than in
astern.

I CAUTION
Sailing with the engine stop-
ped and the lever in neutral must
not exceed 6 to 7 hours in a row.
The propeller can drive the rota-
tion of the shaft and damage the
transmission. Run the engine for
15 minutes to lubricate the trans-
mission at least every 6 hours.
Whatever the type of propeller
and transmission, never sail with
the engine stopped in forward
gear (in ahead).
Under sail, close the seacock
if the boat is able to reach a
speed above 8 knots. Water can
force one's way through the raw
water intake and fill the exhaust
system. Don't forget to open the
seacock again before restarting
the engine.
