ENGINE OVERHEAT
If the engine overheats, 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.
If a steady flow of water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole and the
engine continues to overheat, consult your dealer. Operating an overheated
engine will cause engine damage.
LOW OIL LEVEL
The warning system will be activated if the oil level drops below the sight gauge
in the cowl when the outboard is in a vertical position. There is still oil reserve
remaining for 30 minutes of full speed operation. Refer to Fuel and Oil ‑ Filling
Oil Injection System.

Engine Overspeed Limiter
The outboard is equipped with an engine overspeed limiter which limits the
engine maximum RPM. This will protect the engine from mechanical damage.
Some causes of engine overspeed are as follows:
