• Inspect all exhaust connections for carbon
monoxide leakage. Adjust and repair as
required.
• Test the navigational lights and all other
lighting on board.
• Inspect all wiring for fraying, wear, loose
connections and other damage.
• Inspect all switches, controls and other
related equipment for proper operation.
• Inspect all safety equipment for proper oper-
ation and physical condition.
• Open all faucets and fill freshwater holding
tank with water. Turn freshwater pump on to
allow water to flow through faucets until all
antifreeze is flushed out and the water runs
clear, then close faucets. Fill the freshwater
tank until full, then check the entire system
for water leaks.
• Launch the boat and start the engine. It
may take a minute of cranking to allow the
fuel system to prime. When the engine
starts, keep a close watch over the gauge
readings and check for leakage and abnor-
mal noises. Keep speeds low until the
engine has reached normal operating tem-
perature. If your engine was fogged for
winterization, you will see exhaust smoke
for a few minutes while the fogging oil is
burned off.
Refer to engine and boat accessory manuals for
further recommissioning instructions.
