HIGH ALTITUDE
The outboard’s EMM will automatically com-
pensate for changes in altitude. However, if
you boat above 3000 ft. (900 m), you will ex-

If the engine drops below the recommended
RPM operating range at full throttle, select a
lower pitch propeller.
If you return to sea level, install the original
propeller and verify correct RPM operating
range.
