WARNING
If your outboard does not react normally to
this starting procedure or if it fails to start, re-
fer to Troubleshooting on page 36.
Always shift to NEUTRAL before start-
ing the outboard to prevent sudden
boat
movement, which can cause
injury.
After Engine Starts
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 indicator is not visible, stop the
engine. Refer to Engine Overheating on

Slowest idle position
DO NOT advance the throttle before start-up.
Advancing the throttle overrides the electron-
ic idle control system. After the engine starts,
the engine management module (EMM) au-
tomatically increases idle speed slightly. Idle
speed will decrease as the engine warms up.
