engine damage. This will not be covered under warranty.
Elevation and weather also have a very noticeable effect
on the wide-open-throttle power of an engine. Since air
(containing oxygen) gets thinner as elevation increases,
the engine begins to starve for air. Humidity, barometric
pressure and temperature have a noticeable effect on
the density of air since heat and humidity thin the air.
This phenomenon can become particularly apparent
when an engine is propped out on a cool dry day in
spring and later, on a hot, humid day in summer, does

Oil Consumption
Just because an engine uses oil does not mean it is not
healthy or it is defective. A marine engine gets worked
very hard compared to an automobile engine. When
you are cruising down the highway in your car, once
it gets up to speed it only takes a small amount of the
engine’s power (around 20 HP) to maintain the speed
of the vehicle on a flat road. A boat, on the other hand,
is utilizing a significantly larger amount of the engine’s
output to keep the boat moving. Then add the extra load
of ballast bags and a wakeboarder, surfer or skier and
we are utilizing even more of the engine’s capacity. The
harder you work the engine, the more consumables
(gasoline and oil) it needs to keep running. As long as
there are not other detrimental operating characteristics
such as low power, oil fouled plugs, constant smoking,
etc., do not be concerned if the engine uses some oil ...

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The electrical system on all Indmar engines is protected
by a 40A main circuit fuse. If the engine will not crank
with the battery switch in the ON position, locate the
fuse in the electrical box on the engine. Remove the
cover from the electrical box and check the 40A fuse. If
the fuse is blown, there is a spare in the electrical box.
There are also other spare fuse locations in the electrical
box. Always keep spare fuses in these locations. If you
use the 40A fuse, obtain another from your dealer or
from an automobile parts store, and replace the spare
fuse in the electrical box cover. If the system continues
to blow fuses, take the boat to your dealer and have the
INDM-0017
electrical system checked.
Figure 7.14 – Fuse Box Layout
Fuses are located on top of the engine near the intake.

To remove or inspect a fuse, remove molded plastic

propulsion engine and the parts related thereto (collectively, “Product”) are free from material defects in material and workmanship
under normal use and service during the applicable warranty period as set forth herein.
2. Coverage. Indmar shall replace or repair any defect in material or workmanship relating to the Product under the terms and
conditions of this Limited Product Warranty. Components or parts of the Product that Indmar determines in its sole discretion to
be “wornout” from use are specifically excluded from this Limited Product Warranty. If a Product or defective part thereof is, upon
examination by Indmar, determined by Indmar to be defective, Indmar shall repair, or at its sole option, provide either a new or rebuilt
replacement of equivalent quality. Indmar shall have the sole discretion to determine whether the replacement, if provided, shall be
a new or rebuilt replacement. Indmar’s sole obligation under this Limited Product Warranty is limited only to the foregoing obligations
as stated herein.
3. Customer. This Limited Product Warranty is extended only to the original retail purchaser of a boat or the original lessor, in
the case of a leased boat, in which a Product has been installed pursuant to Indmar’s approval or authority (“Customer”). In the
event that the product is used in conjunction with a demonstrator or boat show display, the warranty begins from the earlier of the
date of delivery to the retail purchaser or such time as the boat installed with the Indmar product attains more than 50 hours of use
regardless of the source of such use. If the boat is sold or traded prior to the end of the applicable warranty period set forth herein,
the remainder of the applicable warranty period is transferable to the new owner or new lessor (also referred herein as “Customer”)
provided that all of the requirements for a valid transfer as set forth in this Limited Product Warranty are satisfied. No transfer of any
rights by any Customer shall be deemed valid or effective unless and until approved in writing by Indmar. Warranties of any nature
to any person other than those described herein are specifically excluded.
4. Excluded Items. In addition to, and without in any way limiting, any exclusion set forth elsewhere in this Limited Product
Warranty, this Limited Product Warranty shall not apply to the following items:

servicing dealer/mechanic not approved or authorized by Indmar.

or workmanship of the Product.
