The 3034 Marine engine can be converted to an insulated return. The relay momentarily connects the negative battery cable to the body of the electric starting motor and to the engine block during the operation of the starter. Refer to Illustration 4 for the schematic. The schematic indicates the wiring for the relay.

Engine Wiring Harness

The engine wiring harness connects the components of the electrical system to a waterproof connector.

Schematic for the auxiliary control panel




Illustration 15g00746289

The location of the connection for a main control panel and the location of the connection for the auxiliary control panel is located on the back of each panel.

(31) This terminal is used to operate the control panel as an auxiliary control panel.

(32) This terminal is used to operate the control panel as a main control panel.

(33) Connector for the "auxiliary" position or the "main" position

All control panels are configured as a main control panel. More than one control panel can be used to control the engine. One control panel can be used as a main control panel and one control panel can be used as an auxiliary control panel. Refer to Illustration 15 for the location of the connection. To convert a control panel to an auxiliary control panel, remove the connector (33) from the main terminal (32). Connect the connector (33) to the "S" position (31). This is the position for the auxiliary control panel.

One control panel must always be the main control panel and one control panel must be the auxiliary control panel. If more than two control panels are installed, one control panel will be the main control panel. The other control panels will be auxiliary control panels.

Configuration of the Main Control Panel

No more than three control panels may be used at the same time. There are five different configurations. The control panels that are listed as auxiliary control panels must be configured as an auxiliary.

Tachometer Calibration

Before the tachometer can be adjusted, the correct setting must be calculated. The procedure and the formula for calculating the correct setting for the tachometer follows:

  1. Measure the diameter of the alternator driven pulley.

  1. Measure the diameter of the alternator drive pulley.

  1. Divide the measurement for the alternator driven pulley into the measurement for the alternator drive pulley.

  1. Multiply the result by 6. This is the number of pulses that are required for the correct setting for the tachometer.

If the tachometer needs to be recalibrated, then use the following procedure:

  1. Ensure that the panel is installed correctly.



    Illustration 21g00754932

    The button is located on the back of the tachometer.

    (1) Typical example of a probe

    (2) Button

  1. Insert a probe (1) into the rear of the tachometer. Refer to Illustration 21. Lightly press the button (2) with the probe (1). At the same time, turn the control panel to the ON position.

  1. Press the button (2) with the probe (1). Observe the LCD readout on the control panel. When the word "PULSE" is displayed, release the probe (1) from the button (2) .

  1. The current setting for the tachometer will now be visible and the digits will flash. The flashing digit can now be adjusted. Adjust the flashing digit by depressing the button with the probe. The numbers will scroll until the correct digit is reached. Repeat the procedure for all of the digits, as required.

  1. The LCD readout will revert to the display for the service hour meter. Turn the control panel OFF.

Zinc Anode Bonding System


NOTICE

The engine may be damaged by electrolytic corrosion if the correct zinc anode bonding system is not used. The information on the zinc anode bonding system covers a typical system. Read and follow the guidelines for the zinc anode bonding system carefully.

(6) Zinc anode

(7) Engine

(8) Valve for the sea water




Illustration 23g00811606

(9) Location of the grounding stud

Corrosion in the engine cooling system can be reduced by connecting the engine to a zinc anode. The zinc anode is used to protect metal fittings and other metal components that are in direct contact with sea water. The engine is equipped with a stud that may be used for this purpose. The stud will be identified with a label.

The zinc anode bonding system should provide a connection that has low resistance between all of the metals that are in contact with sea water. The zinc anode should be fixed to the outside of the hull below the level of the sea water.

The bonding should use a heavy stranded wire with a tin coating. The wire should also be insulated.

Table 2
Type of Cable That is Needed for the Zinc Anode Bonding System    
Length of Run To Zinc Anode     Suggested Size of the Cable    
Up to
9 m (30 ft)    
7 strand

0.85 mm (0.034 inch)

4 mm2 (0.1575 inch2)    

9 to 12 m (30 to 40 ft)    
7 strand

1.04 mm (0.041 inch)

6 mm2 (0.2362 inch2)    

Solder the connections for the zinc anode bonding system. The connection should also be protected with a neoprene paint.

It is important to include the propeller shaft in the zinc anode bonding system. The electrical connection to the propeller shaft can be made with brush terminals made of graphite.

Note: Before the vessel is used, the zinc anode bonding system should be tested.
