CONTROLS AND FEATURES
OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT
COOLING SYSTEM INDICATOR
When the green light is lit, oil
pressure is OK. 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.
The engine is equipped with an
overrev limiter to prevent the
possibility of mechanical damage
from excessive engine speed.
The overrev 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 oil pressure becomes low, the
green light will go off.
Low oil pressure indicates that the
engine oil level is low, or that there is
a problem with the engine lubrication
system.
If the overrev limiter is activated,
check the tilt angle of the outboard
motor.
Improper propeller selection may
also cause the overrev limiter to
activate.
