IMPORTANT:  Do  not  run  your  outboard—    To RESET the system:
even  for a  brief  start-up—without supplying
water to it. Refer to Flushing on page 34.
The engine must be shut off and the cooling
temperature restored.
While  boating, the  outboard’s water  intakes    IF  the   S.A.F.E.   mode  activates   and  the
must stay  completely submerged  and unob-    stream  from  the  water pump  indicator  be-

Lower the outboard.
Restart the engine and run at idle.
IF cleaning  the  screens and  indicator does
not restore the water pump indicator’s steady
discharge, the engine will operate only in “get
home” mode. Return  to harbor immediately.
See your Dealer.

IMPORTANT: If  cooling is not  restored, the
EMM will  identify a progressive  overheating
condition and shut  off the engine. The  “WA-
TER TEMP” or “HOT” light will flash. The en-
gine will not restart until the engine is allowed
to cool.
If the  engine  overheats, the  engine monitor
will sound  the warning horn  and turn  on the
“WATER  TEMP”  or  “HOT”  light.  Also,   the
S.A.F.E. (Speed Adjusting  Failsafe Electron-
ics) mode  will immediately limit  the engine’s
speed to  1200 RPM.  If the engine  was run-
ning faster than 1200 RPM when the S.A.F.E.
mode activated, it  will shake noticeably.  The
protection system must be RESET before the
engine will operate at speeds over 1200 RPM.
Under certain conditions the EMM will shut off
the engine.
After any overheat causing engine shutdown,
see your Dealer for:
Inspection of the water pump for excessive
wear or damage.
Inspection of the thermostats.
IMPORTANT:  Although the  S.A.F.E.  mode
can help prevent engine damage, it does not
guarantee you can run your engine indefinite-
ly without engine damage.
