NOTE: To start a flooded engine, advance the neutral fast idle
speed feature to the maximum fast idle speed position and
continue to crank the engine for starting. Immediately reduce
engine speed after the engine starts.

flowing out of the water pump indicator hole.

IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump
indicator hole, stop the engine and check cooling water intake for
obstruction. No obstruction may indicate a water pump failure or
blockage in the cooling system. These conditions will cause the
engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by your dealer.
Operating the engine while overheated will cause engine damage.
