STARTING THE ENGINE
• When the boat is mounted with the
two outboard motors, perform the
above procedure on the right and
left outboard motors respectively.
• The “Neutral Starting System”
prevents the engine from being
started unless the control lever is
set in the N (neutral) position even
though the engine is cranked by the
starting engine.
4. After starting, check whether the
cooling water is flowing out of the
cooling water check hole. Amount
of water flowing out of the check
hole might vary due to the
thermostat operation, but this is
normal.
If water does not flow out, or if
steam comes out, stop the engine.
Check to see if the screen in the
cooling water intake port is
obstructed and remove foreign
materials if necessary. Check the
cooling water check hole for
clogging. If water still does not flow
out, have your outboard motor
checked by an authorized
TOHATSU outboard motor dealer.
Do not operate the engine until the
problem has been corrected.
