Chapter 1:

PROPULSION SYSTEM

1.1 General

The Albemarle 41 Convertible is designed to be powered with

twin diesel inboard engines. Each manufacturer of the various

marine power components provides an owner’s information

manual with their product. It is important that you read the

manuals very carefully and become familiar with the proper

care and operation of the engines and drive system. A warranty

registration card has been furnished with each new engine and

can be located in the engine owner’s manual. All information

requested on this card should be ﬁlled out completely by the

dealer and purchaser and then returned to the respective engine

manufacturer as soon as possible.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY ENGINE OR

DRIVE COMPONENT WITHOUT BEING TOTALLY

FAMILIAR WITH THE SAFE AND PROPER SERVICE

PROCEDURES. CERTAIN MOVING PARTS ARE

EXPOSED AND CAN PROVE DANGEROUS TO

SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION

AND FUNCTION OF THE EQUIPMENT.

1.2 Drive Systems

On inboard propulsion systems, all shifting and gearing com-

ponents are installed inside the hull. Only the propeller shafts

and associated equipment are under water. The engines are

mounted below the cabin ﬂoor. A transmission, also called a

gearbox, which performs desired shifting functions, is directly

coupled to each engine. The propeller shaft extends through

the hull and connects the transmission output coupling with the

propeller. The transmissions have built-in reduction gearing.

This gearing reduces the speed of the propeller in relation to

engine speed.

ALWAYS RETURN THE ENGINE THROTTLE LEVERS

TO THE EXTREME LOW SPEED POSITION BEFORE

SHIFTING. NEVER SHIFT THE UNIT WHILE THE

ENGINE SPEED IS ABOVE 1000 RPM.

All transmissions require oil or ﬂuid of some type for lubrica-

tion. This level should be checked at the same interval as the

engine oil level.

Your boat is equipped with transmissions supplied by the en

gine manufacturer. For details on the transmissions, refer to

the engine or transmission owner’s manual.

1.3 Engine Exhaust System

Engine exhaust exits the rear of the boat through the exhaust

system. The system consists of engine exhaust manifolds,

exhaust hoses, mufﬂers, and thru-hull exhaust ﬁttings.

Inboard boats use the exhaust system to expel exhaust gases

and cooling water. A periodic inspection of the hoses, muf

ﬂers and related parts should be made to ensure that leaks or

heat deterioration have not resulted. Periodically inspect these

items for signs of deterioration or damage. Replace them as

necessary.

DO NOT INHALE EXHAUST FUMES! EXHAUST

C O N TA I N S C A R B O N M O N O X I D E T H AT

IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS. CARBON

MONOXIDE IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT IS

POTENTIALLY LETHAL.

1.4 Engine Cooling System

All marine engines use surface water as a cooling medium.

The cooling water enters the system through a water intake in

the hull and is expelled through the exhaust system. Water is

pumped through the water inlets, circulated through the engine

block or heat exchanger, and relinquished with the exhaust

gases through the exhaust system. The water pump uses a small

impeller made of synthetic rubber. The impeller and water

pump cannot run dry for more than a few seconds.
