Twin Engine Speed Synchronizer

This  meter  displays  the  difference  in
engine  speed  (r/min)  between  the  Port
and  Starboard  engines  for  reference  pur-
poses  when  synchronizing  the  two
engines’ speeds.
Repeatedly push and release the “mode”
button  until  the  indicator  on  the  face  of
the meter points to “SYNC”.

1

Port side engine speed is higher

2

Port side engine speed is slightly higher

3

Engine speed is synchronized evenly
between Port and Starboard side engines

4

Starboard side engine speed is slightly
higher

5

Starboard side engine speed is higher

NOTE:

If the two engines’ speeds are not syn-
chronized while cruising, they can be syn-
chronized by adjusting trim angle or
throttle.

EMU01207

Water Separator Warning Indicator

If the water which has been separated
from fuel in the water trap exceeds a spe-
cific volume, the indicator will blink show-
ing the need for water to be drained.

NOTE:

This indicator only operates when a water
separator sensor is equipped.

EMU00157

TILT SUPPORT LEVER

To keep the outboard motor in the tilted-
up position, lock the tilt support lever to
the clamp bracket.
