Repeat steps a and b to start the port propulsion engine, making sure to use the appropriate port controls.

according to guidelines in section 11 of chapter 3.
Refer also to engine

As engines warm up, check the following gauges:
(1) engine water temperature (3)-(160-185 degrees is normal).
(2) engine oil pressure (4)-(20-30 psi is normal).
(3) transmission oil pressure (5) (50 psi out of gear, 210-220 while running).
(4) ammeter (6) shows an up scale needle deflection (charging).
(5) tachometer (7) (550 RPM at idle).
