ENGINE MONITORING
IMPORTANT: Your outboard must be equipped
with the System Check® engine monitor. Operating
your outboard without the System Check engine
monitor will void your warranty for failures related to
the functions monitored on your engine.
When you turn the key switch ON, the System
Check engine monitor horn performs a self-test by
sounding a 1/2-second beep. The gauge self-tests
by turning the warning lights on, then off in se-
quence. During engine start-up, pause with the key
switch in the ON position to observe the horn and
gauge perform the self-test. If the self-test does not
happen as stated, see your DEALER.
The System Check engine monitor alerts the oper-
ator with a 10-second beep of the horn and a warn-
ing light on the gauge when certain engine
problems occur. The appropriate warning light
will stay on until the problem is corrected or the
key switch is turned OFF.
If the engine management module (EMM) senses
that the problem could cause permanent engine There is an oil delivery problem. Serious engine
damage, it will also limit engine speed to 1200 damage can occur quickly. The EMM will activate
RPM. This additional protection feature is referred
to as S.L.O.W.™ If the engine was running faster
than 1200 RPM when the S.L.O.W. system activat-
ed, it will shake noticeably. Under certain operating
conditions the EMM will shut OFF the engine.

A continuous "WATER TEMP" or “HOT” light with
S.L.O.W. — The EMM has identified an overheat-
ing condition. Shut OFF the engine and refer imme-
diately to Engine Overheating.

EMM has identified a progressive overheating con-
dition. The engine will shut OFF and will not restart
until the engine cools.
In the S.L.O.W. mode, the engine speed is
limited. Under certain conditions, the
engine’s limited speed may reduce maneu-
verability of your boat.
