Warning System
The warning system on this engine does not have a warning
horn. Instead, there is an oil pressure light located on the front of
the engine. If oil pressure drops below 25 kPa (3.6 PSI) the oil
pressure light will illuminate, the Engine Guardian System will be
activated, and engine RPM will be limited to 3000.
The Engine Guardian System will also limit RPM of the engine in
the event of an over‑speed condition due to cavitation, no load
on propeller, and/or under propped.
Power Tilt (if equipped)
This outboard has a tilt control called power tilt. This enables the
operator to easily adjust the position of the outboard by pressing
the tilt switch. With the engine turned off, the outboard can be
tilted out of the water. At low idle speed, the outboard can also
be tilted up to permit shallow water operation.
