Outboard — Not Running
ENGINE OVERHEATING
1)
Place the engine in a tilted or vertical posi-
tion.
IMPORTANT: Do not run your engine — even for a
brief start-up — without supplying water to it. Refer
to Flushing.
2)
3)
Remove the plug from the flushing port.
Install flushing device (if needed) and garden
hose.
While boating, the engine’s water intakes must stay
completely submerged and unobstructed. Observe
proper transom height and trim angle.
While the engine is running, the engine’s water
pump indicator must discharge a steady stream of
water. Check the indicator often, especially when
operating in weeds, muddy and debris-laden water,
and at extreme trim angles.

Remove the flusher (if used). Install the plug.
Lower the outboard to vertical position long
enough to completely drain the powerhead.

If the engine overheats, its SystemCheck engine
monitor will sound the warning horn and turn on the
"WATER TEMP" or HOT light. Also, the EMM will
immediately limit the engine’s speed to 3000 RPM.
This additional protective 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. To RESET the S.L.O.W. pro-
tection system, reduce the engine to 800 RPM or
shut it OFF.
IF the S.L.O.W. protection system activates and the
stream from the water pump indicator becomes in-
termittent or stops, reduce speed to idle and:
Shift to NEUTRAL;
SHUT OFF the engine;
Tilt the motor up;
Clean the intake screens of any blockage;
Clean the water pump indicator of any blockage;
Lower the motor; and
Restart the engine and run at idle.
