3000 EXPRESS

• Reassemble the strainer making sure that all fasteners are tight.

• Open the intake valve.

• Start the engine and inspect the strainer for leaks.

SHOULD AN ENGINE INTAKE, EXHAUST OR COOLING HOSE RUPTURE, TURN OFF THE

ENGINE AND CLOSE THE ENGINE WATER INTAKE VALVE IMMEDIATELY. PROCEED,

UNDER TOW IF NECESSARY, TO A SERVICE FACILITY FOR APPROPRIATE REPAIRS.

MAINTAIN A CLOSE VISUAL WATCH ON THE PROBLEM HOSE AND THE BILGE WA-

TER LEVEL.

Inboard boats utilize an exhaust hose to relinquish cooling water. A periodic inspection of the hose,

mufflers and related parts should be made to insure that leaks or heat deterioration have not resulted.

Installation of “Fresh Water Cooling” provides adequate engine cooling without exposing the

internal engine cooling system to the harmful effects of surface water. This system is standard with

diesel and gasoline engines on the 3000 Express. The engine owner’s manual provides additional

information regarding the service and maintenance of this equipment.

1.5 Propellers

When the boats are shipped, the propellers are not

factory installed. Initial installation of the propellers

will be performed by the dealer during pre-delivery

service. Should it be necessary to change propellers,

always use an appropriate removal tool or “Prop

Puller.” Do not attempt removal using a hammer.

Damage to the propeller, propeller shaft, or transmis-

sion can result.

A few simple steps will enable you to install a propeller. First, insure that no burrs or rough edges

exist on the shaft, key, and both keyways. Try the key into the keyways. It must slide freely into

position without having side play. It might be necessary to file the key with a flat file to create the

correct tolerance.

To ensure the proper fit of your propeller, follow these procedures:

Step 1: Without the key installed, slip the propeller on the shaft by hand as far as it will go. Mark

the location at the front of the hub with a dry-marker and remove the propeller.
