• Propeller ventilation.
• A propeller which has an incorrect pitch or diameter.
• Propeller hub slippage.
• Outboard mounted too high on the transom.
• Tilting the outboard out beyond a vertical position.
• Cavitation of the propeller due to rough water or obstruction in the boat
hull.
When the engine overspeed limiter is activated, the engine timing will be
momentarily retarded to decrease the engine speed. Excessive overspeed
(above 5700 RPM) will result in cutout of the cylinders ignition to prevent
operation above this limit.
Power Trim and Tilt (If equipped)
Your outboard has a trim/tilt control called Power Trim. This enables the
operator to easily adjust the position of the outboard by pressing the trim
switch. Moving the outboard in closer to the boat transom is called trimming in
or down. Moving the outboard further away from the boat transom is called
trimming out or up. The term trim generally refers to the adjustment of the
outboard within the first 20° range of travel. This is the range used while
operating your boat on plane. The term tilt is generally used when referring to
adjusting the outboard further up out of the water. With the engine turned off,
the outboard can be tilted out of the water. At low idle speed, the outboard can
also be tilted up past the trim range to permit, for example, shallow water
operation.
