How to use the Troll Mode
Setting the troll mode:
1. Shift into forward or reverse gear and make
sure that the throttle is fully closed (in-gear
idle speed).
2. Press the “UP” or “DN” position of the troll
mode switch, until you hear one beep.
The REV/TRL (or REV) lamp on the monitor
gauge will flash indicating that the motor has
been set to the troll mode. The REV/TRL (or
REV) lamp will continue to flash while the
motor is in the troll mode.
NOTE:
The troll mode system will not operate if the
switch is depressed when the remote control
lever is in the neutral position.
Adjusting trolling speed:
• When pressing the “UP” switch, one short
beep sounds and the engine speed
increases by 50 rpm.
• When pressing the “DN” switch, one short
beep sounds and the engine speed
decreases by 50 rpm.
NOTE:
• When pressing the “DN” switch at the lower
limit of trolling speed, the engine speed will
not change and three long (0.8 sec.) beeps
will sound.
• When pressing the “UP” switch at the upper
limit of trolling speed, the engine speed will
not change and three long (0.8 sec.) beeps
will sound.
• Shift operation and throttle control remain
operational, even in troll mode.

Cancelling the troll mode:
The troll mode can be cancelled by shifting the
remote control lever to the neutral position, or
by increasing the engine speed to 3000 rpm or
more. In both cases, two short (0.1 sec.) beeps
sound when cancelling the troll mode.
OPERATION IN SALT WATER
After operating the motor in salt water, you
should flush the water passages with clean,
fresh water as outlined in the FLUSHING THE
WATER PASSAGES section. If you do not flush
the water passages, salt can corrode the motor
and shorten its life.
OPERATION IN FREEZING WEATHER
When operating your outboard motor in freez-
ing temperatures, you should keep the lower
unit submerged in the water at all times.
When taking motor out of the water, stand it up
in a vertical position until the cooling system
drains completely.
NOTICE
If you leave your outboard motor out of
the water in freezing temperatures with
water still in the cooling system, the
water can freeze and expand, causing
severe damage to the motor.
When your outboard is in the water in
freezing temperatures, keep the lower
unit submerged in the water at all times.
When the motor is stored out of the water
in freezing temperatures stand it up in the
vertical position so that the cooling sys-
tem drains completely.
