ENGINE OVERHEAT
If the engine overheats, the warning horn will sound. Immediately
reduce throttle speed to idle. Shift outboard into neutral and check
for a steady stream of water coming out of the water pump indicator
hole.
If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole or flow
is intermittent, stop engine and check the cooling water intake
holes for obstruction. If no obstruction is found, there may be a
blockage in the cooling system or a water pump problem. Have the
outboard checked by your dealer. Operating the engine while
overheated will cause engine damage.
NOTE: Should overheating occur and you are stranded, stop the
engine and allow it to cool down. This will usually allow some
additional low speed (idle) running time before the engine starts to
overheat again. Operating an overheated engine will cause engine
damage.
