Low oil pressure may be the result of
a low engine oil level, or there may
be a problem with the engine
lubrication system.

If the throttle is closed suddenly after
full throttle operation, engine speed
may drop below the specified idle
rpm, and that could activate the
engine protection system
momentarily.

If low oil pressure activates the
engine protection system, stop the
engine, check the engine oil level
(p.

), and add oil if needed.

With the engine oil at the
recommended level, restart the
engine. If the lubrication system is
OK, the green indicator light should
come on within 30 seconds, and the
engine will respond normally to
throttle grip or control lever
operation.

If the engine protection system
remains activated after 30 seconds,
return to the nearest boat landing,
and have the outboard motor
inspected by an authorized Honda
marine dealer.

Remote-control LRT and XRT types
are equipped with a buzzer that
sounds when the green indicator light
goes off.

If oil pressure becomes low, the
green indicator light will go off, and
the engine protection system will
limit engine speed. If you are at
cruising speed, engine speed will
decrease gradually.
