Using Your E-TEC Outboard
SALT WATER
Additional anodic protection for the outboard
has been provided for use in salt or brackish
water.
Upon removal from salt water, leave outboard
in a vertical position until its cooling system
has drained. During long periods of mooring,
tilt the gearcase out of the water, except in
freezing temperatures. Flush the outboard, if
desired. Refer to Transporting the Out-
board on page 32.
To RESET the system:
•
The engine must be shut off and the cooling
temperature restored.
IF the S.A.F.E. mode activates and the
stream from the water pump indicator be-
comes intermittent or stops, reduce speed to
idle and:
1
) Shift to NEUTRAL.
2) SHUT OFF the engine.
3)
Tilt the outboard up.
4) Clean the intake screens of any blockage.

5)
Clean the water pump indicator of any
blockage.
6)
7)
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.
IF cleaning the screens and indicator does
restore the water pump indicator’s steady
discharge, you might have to run for two min-
utes in NEUTRAL to allow the engine to cool.

IMPORTANT: If cooling is not restored, the
EMM will identify a progressive overheating
condition and shut off the engine. The engine
will not restart until the engine is allowed to
cool.

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.
