CARE OF UNEXPECTED
PROBLEMS
Water should flow from the cooling
system indicator while the engine is
running. This shows that water is
circulating through the cooling
system.
If water stops flowing while the
engine is running, that indicates a
cooling system problem, such as
clogged water intakes, which will
cause engine overheating.
Low oil pressure indicates that the
engine oil level is low or that there is
a problem with the engine lubrication
system.
When the oil pressure indicator is lit,
oil pressure is OK.
If oil pressure becomes low, the oil
pressure indicator will go off, and the
engine protection system will limit
engine speed. Refer to
, p. .
The engine is equipped with an rev
limiter to prevent the possibility of
mechanical damage from excessive
engine speed.
The rev limiter may be activated
during operation, limiting engine
speed, if the outboard motor is tilted
excessively, or when propeller
ventilation occurs during a sharp turn.
If the rev limiter is activated, check
the tilt angle of the outboard motor.
Improper propeller selection may
also cause the rev limiter to activate.
Check to see if the correct propeller
is installed.
