Turning off one of the inner engines while underway will have no effect on the
operation of the outer engines.
If a failure should occur while underway which causes the starboard outer
engine into forced neutral/idle condition, the inner starboard engine will also be
forced to neutral/idle. Operation to the inner engine can be restored by moving
the starboard control handle back into neutral and then into gear.
If a failure should occur while underway which causes the port outer engine into
forced neutral/idle condition, the inner port engine will also be forced to neutral/
idle. Operation to the inner engine can be restored by moving the port control
handle back into neutral and then into gear.
Warning System
WARNING HORN SIGNALS
When the key switch is turned to the "ON" position, the horn will turn on for a
moment as a test to indicate the horn is working.
There are two types of warning horns to alert the operator of an active problem
within the engine’s operating system.
1.
Continuous six second beep:
Indicates a critical engine condition.
Depending on the condition, the Engine Guardian system may engage
and protect the engine by limiting power. You should return to port
immediately and contact your servicing dealer.
2.
Intermittent short beeps for six seconds:
Indicates a noncritical engine
condition. This condition does not require immediate attention. You may
continue using your boat, however, depending on the nature of the
problem, the engine’s power may be limited by the Engine Guardian
system (see
Engine Guardian System
following) to protect the engine.
You should contact your servicing dealer at your earliest convenience.
It is important to note that in either of the above scenarios, the horn will only
sound one time. If you key the engine off and restart it, the horn will sound
again, one time, if the fault is still present. For visual display of the specific
engine functions and additional engine data, refer to
SmartCraft Product
information, following.
A few of the noncritical conditions indicated by the intermittent short beeps for
six seconds can be corrected by the operator. These operator correctable
conditions are as follows:
•
Water in the engine mounted fuel filter. Refer to
Maintenance – Water
Separating Fuel Filter
.
•
Cooling system (water pressure or engine temperature) problem. Stop the
engine and check the water intake holes in the lower unit for obstruction.
•
Low engine oil level. Refer to
Fuel and Oil – Checking and Adding
Engine Oil
.
