If any of the following conditions is noted:
x
Low Oil Pressure
x
High Coolant Temperature
x
Excessive Catalytic Converter Temperature
x
Severe Engine Misfire
Engines may enter a Power Reduction mode. Power
reduction limits the engine throttle opening to a “safe
maneuvering” speed. This mode is intended to allow the
driver to get out of harm’s way and to reach safe harbor
for engine service.
If the check engine indicator should go on, or if the
engine enters the Power Reduction mode, you should
have your dealer check the engine as soon as possible.
NOTICE
Schedule engine service at once when this light is
illuminated. Failure to have your engine serviced when a
check engine light signal is given, may cause damage to
your engine or your emissions system.
Follow the boat manufacturer’s instructions if the sea
strainer is blocked.
ENGINE COOLING
NOTICE: Running engine without adequate cooling
can cause engine to overheat and may result in fire
and/or explosion.
Engines have two water pumps.
One circulates coolant throughout the engine. The jet
pump uses water from the sea, lake or river to feed
raw water to the engine, as well as propel the boat.
The jet pump is designed to use the water it pumps to
lubricate its impeller. Do not run the engine unless the
boat is in water. If you run the engine with the boat out
of the water, the jet pump may be damaged, causing
your engine to overheat or start a fire. This will void the
warranty.
NOTICE
The impeller in the jet pump can be damaged from
running dry or by picking up sand or silt through the
water intake. Inspect your water pump impeller annually
or more often if you operate your boat in shallow
water or run it aground. Impeller failure will result in an
overheated engine.
