OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR
LIGHT GOES OFF AND
ENGINE SPEED IS LIMITED
TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT
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.
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.
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 operation.
If oil pressure becomes low, the
green indicator light will go off. If
you are at cruising speed, engine
speed will decrease gradually.
Low oil pressure may be the result of
a low engine oil level, or there may
be a problem with the engine
lubrication system.
