IMPORTANT: The engine will start and run without
the clip connected to the key switch. However, we
strongly recommend that the operator use the clip
and lanyard anytime the engine is running. Refer to
Emergency Stop/Key Switch.
Move the remote control handle to NEUTRAL. Re-
fer to Shifting and Speed Control.
After Engine Starts
DO NOT turn the key switch to START while the en-
gine is running. Damage to the starter system could
result.
Allow the engine to idle in NEUTRAL for about 5
minutes to warm up before shifting.
IMPORTANT: To avoid engine damage after start-
up do not exceed 2000 RPM in NEUTRAL. Do not
exceed 1500 RPM in NEUTRAL for extended peri-
ods of time.
Check the water pump indicator. A steady stream of
water indicates the water pump is working. If a
steady stream of water from the water pump indica-
tor is not visible, stop the engine. Refer to Engine
Overheating.

ENGINE STOPPING

To avoid difficulty when restarting, never stop the

The engine’s EMM draws a small amount of current
at all times. When you are not planning to run your
engine within the next 30 days:

If your boat is equipped with a battery switch, turn
it OFF.
IMPORTANT: The starter motor can be damaged if
operated continuously for more than 10 seconds.
Upon start-up, release the key.
• If you have no battery switch, remove the 60-amp
fuse. Refer to Fuses.
If the engine did not start, release the key momen-
tarily, then try again.
Each time the key switch is turned from OFF to ON,
the warning system will self-test. Refer to Engine
Monitoring. If the warning system fails to self-test
during start-up, see your DEALER.
IMPORTANT: With the 60-amp fuse removed, the
engine will not crank or start. Place a note on your
ignition key to install the fuse before your next out-
ing.
If your outboard does not react normally to this
starting procedure or if it fails to start, refer to Trou-
ble Check Chart.
