Extended Cranking Required
If the engine does not start and extended cranking is required, serious engine
damage can occur. If the engine is cranked for more than about 15 seconds with
no start, the exhaust system will fill with water that will then back up into the
exhaust manifold and cylinders. Before extended engine cranking (more than 20
seconds):
1. Close the engine cooling inlet seacock.
2. Continue cranking until the engine starts.
3. Open the engine cooling inlet seacock. Remember, the engine has no
cooling until the seacock is open. Do not delay.
4. To avoid overheat damage to the electric starter:
a. limit cranking to 15 seconds
b. cool starter 60 seconds, before cranking again
5. If it is suspected that a quantity of water may have accumulated in the
exhaust system, drain the muffler.
