To use gasoline, pull the fuel selector switch
OUT to expose the red indicator ring.

IMPORTANT: The minimum inside diameter
of the fuel hose from the fuel tank to the out-
board must be 3/8 in. (9 mm). Be sure the
boat’s fuel system provides adequate fuel to
the outboard. Fuel systems with anti-siphon
valves, filters or primer units may restrict fuel
flow to the outboard and effect engine perfor-
mance.
When switching from one fuel to another:
•
•
•
Connect the fuel supply hose to the desired
fuel supply.
Adjust the selector switch on the port side of
the outboard for the new fuel.
Restart the engine to reset the EMM—
changing the switch has no effect while the
engine is running.
•
•
The EMM calculates when the previous fuel
remaining in the engine has been used and
switches the program at that time.
The engine may run noticeably rough during
the transition period.
IMPORTANT: Diesel fuel should be used as
an emergency fuel ONLY. If diesel fuel must
be used, the fuel selector switch should be in
the Heavy Fuel position. Refer to Emergency
Fuel on p. 13.
