CONTROLS AND FEATURES
COOLING SYSTEM INDICATOR
ANODES
Water should flow from the cooling
system indicator while the engine is
running. This shows that water is
circulating through the cooling
system.
If water stops flowing while the
engine is running, that indicates a
cooling system problem, such as
clogged water intakes, which will
cause engine overheating.
The engine is equipped with an
overrev limiter to prevent the
possibility of mechanical damage
from excessive engine speed.
The overrev limiter may be activated
during operation, limiting engine
speed, if the outboard motor is tilted
excessively, or when propeller
ventilation occurs during a sharp turn.
If the overrev limiter is activated,
check the trim angle of the outboard
motor.
The engine is equipped with an
automatic choke so that the choke
system operation is not needed when
starting the engine.
There are two anodes on the gear
case.
The anodes are made of a sacrificial
material that helps to protect the
outboard motor from corrosion.
