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. At the
same time, the Multi-Function Screen
switches over to the TROLL Mode specific
screen and
is displayed on the
gauge screen. When the gauge screen dis-
plays “Engine Speed Screen” or “All Items
Screen”, the engine speed screen automati-
cally changes from an analog to a digital dis-
play.
NOTE:
• This system will not function properly until
engine is at normal operating temperature.
• If the switch is pressed and held while the
remote control lever is set to neutral, the
mode will not switch to TROLL Mode.
• For the multiple engines:
–
Make sure that both PORT and STBD con-
trol handles are shifted into forward or
reverse at the fully closed throttle position
(in-gear idle speed) before pressing the
troll mode switch.
–
In-gear idle speed of all engines is con-
trolled at the same time.
Adjusting Trolling Speed
• When pressing the “UP” switch, one short
beep sounds and the engine speed
increases by 50 r/min.
• When pressing the “DN” switch, one short
beep sounds and the engine speed
decreases by 50 r/min.
NOTE:
Shift operation and throttle control remain oper-
ational, even in troll mode.
Cancelling the Troll mode:
The troll mode can be cancelled by shifting the
all remote control levers to the neutral position,
or by increasing the engine speed to 3000 r/min
or more. In both cases, two short 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 tempera-
tures stand it up in the vertical position so
that the cooling system drains completely.
