Engine Over-Speed Protection System
The system is activated if the engine speed should ever exceed the maximum allowable lim-
it. This will protect the engine from mechanical damage.
Anytime the engine over-speed system is activated, the system will automatically reduce
the engine speed to within the allowable limit. If engine over-speed continues, have the out-
board checked by your dealer.
NOTE: Your engine speed should never reach the maximum limit to activate the system un-
less the propeller is ventilating, an incorrect propeller is being used, or the propeller is faulty.
