ENGINE MONITORING
IMPORTANT:  Your  outboard  must  be  equipped
with  the  System  Check®  (or  equivalent)  engine
monitor. Operating your outboard without the Sys-
tem Check (or equivalent) engine monitor will void
your warranty for failures related to the functions
monitored on your engine.
When  you  turn  the  key  switch  ON,  the  System
Check engine monitor horn performs a self-test by
sounding a 1/2-second beep. The gauge self-tests
by  turning  the  warning  lights  on,  then  off  in  se-
quence. During engine start-up, pause with the key
switch in the ON position to observe the horn and
gauge perform the self-test. If the self-test does not
happen as stated, see your DEALER.
The System Check engine monitor alerts the oper-
ator with a 10-second beep of the horn and a warn-
ing   light   on   the  gauge   when   certain   engine
problems  occur.  The  appropriate  warning  light
will stay on until the key switch is turned OFF.
If  the  engine  control  unit  (ECU)  senses  that  the
problem could cause permanent engine damage, it
will also limit engine speed to 3000 RPM. This ad-
ditional   protection    feature   is    referred   to   as
S.L.O.W.™ If the engine was running faster than
3000 RPM when the S.L.O.W. system activated, it
will shake noticeably.

engine’s limited speed may reduce maneu-
verability of your boat.

pressure.  For  more  information  about  evaluating
low oil pressure, refer to Low Oil Pressure Warn-
ing.
If  the  S.L.O.W.  mode  is  activated  and  you
are  unable   to  correct  the   problem,  seek
assistance   and/or  return   to  safe   harbor.
Serious   engine  damage,   engine   shutoff,
and/or   reduced   maneuverability   may   be
imminent.
"WATER TEMP" or HOT
The engine is overheating. Serious engine damage
can occur quickly.
