Operating Temperature
An outboard run at idle speed should achieve a
temperature based on the engine’s thermostatic
control. In general, the powerhead temperature
should reach at least 104°F (40°C) after five min-
utes of idling. Check that the powerhead reaches
idle temperature. Refer to specific
SERVICE
SPECIFICATIONS
on p. 10.
Idle Speed
Make sure the outboard idles within the specified
idle RPM range. If the outboard is run on a flush-
ing device, the idle speed and quality may not be
representative of actual in water use.
Break-In
When the outboard is delivered, refer the cus-
tomer to the break-in information in the
Opera-
tor’s Guide
.
The Engine Management Module (
EMM
) auto-
matically supplies extra oil to the engine during
the first two hours of operation, above 2000 RPM.
Use the diagnostics software to confirm that the
break-in program has been started. Refer to
