IMPORTANT: Engine will not start if outboard
is in gear or if lanyard is not in place.
If your outboard does not react normally to
this starting procedure or if it fails to start, re-
fer to Troubleshooting on page 43.
After Engine Starts
Check the water pump indicator. A steady
stream of water indicates the water pump is
working. If a steady stream of water from the
water pump indicator is not visible, stop the
engine. Refer to Engine Overheating on
page 29.
WARNING
Always shift to NEUTRAL before
starting the outboard to prevent
sudden boat movement, which can
cause injury.
DO NOT advance the throttle before start-up.
Advancing the throttle overrides the electron-
ic idle control system. After the engine starts,
the engine management module ( EMM ) au-
tomatically increases idle speed slightly. Idle
speed will decrease as the engine warms up.
