WARNING HORN SIGNALS
The outboard warning system incorporates a warning horn inside
the boat. Remote control models will have the warning horn located
inside the remote control or connected to the ignition key switch.
Tiller handle models will have the warning horn located in the
ignition key panel.
a - Horn inside remote control
b - Horn connected to ignition key switch
c - Horn in ignition key panel
There are two types of warning horns to alert the operator of an
active problem within the engine's operating system.
1. Continuous six second beep: Indicates a critical engine
condition. Depending on the condition, the Engine Guardian
System may engage and protect the engine by limiting it’s
power. You should return to port immediately and contact your
servicing dealer.
2. Intermittent short beeps for six seconds: Indicates a
non‑critical engine condition. This condition does not require
immediate attention. You may continue using your boat,
however, depending on the nature of the problem, the
engine’s power may be limited by the Engine Guardian
System (see Engine Guardian System following) to protect the
engine. You should contact your servicing dealer at your
earliest convenience.
It is important to note that in either of the above scenarios, the horn
will only sound one time. If you key the engine off and re‑start it,
the horn will sound again, one time, if the fault is still present. For
visual display of the specific engine functions and additional engine
data, refer to SmartCraft Product information, following.
