CONTROLS AND FEATURES
COOLING SYSTEM INDICATOR
If the engine overheats, the red light
will come on, and the engine
protection system will limit engine
speed.
Remote controls are also equipped
with a buzzer that sounds when the
red light comes on.
Engine overheating may be the result
of clogged water intakes.
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 the overrev limiter is activated,
check the trim angle of the outboard
motor.
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.
Water should flow from the cooling
system indicator while the engine is
running. This shows that water is
circulating through the cooling
system.
