In the Water
• OUTBOARD MOTOR ISTALLATION
Check that there are no water leaks from the motor
mounting bolt holes.
Check for the balanced weight distribution on the
boat.
• OUTBOARD MOTOR OPERATION
Check the neutral switch for proper operation.
Turn the ignition switch ON and check whether the
buzzer sounds twice.
Turn the ignition switch ON and check whether the
PGM light, charging light and the OP light come ON.
Turn the ignition switch to the START position and
check whether the engine starts.
Check the outboard motor for any abnormal noise.
Check to be sure cooling water flows out of the
cooling system indicator.
After the engine warms up:
Make sure the motor returns smoothly to idle.
Check the idle speed.
IDLE SPEED: 750 ± 50 min
Snap the throttle and check the engine response.
Check to see that the emergency stop switch
functions securely.
• LEAKS
Make sure that there are no leaks from the fuel lines
and/or connections. If necessary, repair immediately.
Check the outboard motor for cooling water/oil leaks.
Repair if necessary.
Check the exhaust system for gas leaks.
During Sea Trials

• PROPELLER SELECTION
Check the engine min-1 with the boat under way.
Before engine break-in, avoid continuous full throttle
operation (100% throttle opening). Do not run the
outboard motor at full throttle for more than 2
minutes at a time.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED ENGINE SPEED:
BF75D: 5,000 – 6,000 min
BF90D: 5,300 – 6,300 min
Make sure that there is no propeller cavitation in a
straight line. There is the possibility of some
propeller cavitation when turning at full throttle with
the motor trimmed out.
After Sea Trials
• CHECK & CLEAN THE OUTBOARD MOTOR
Check that there is no water in the gear oil.
Check that there are no signs of fuel, oil or water
leaks. Repair if necessary.
After running in salty or dirty water, use a flushing
kit to flush the cooling system with clean water. Run
the outboard motor at idle during flushing for
approximately 10 minutes.
Clean the entire outboard motor thoroughly with a
cloth.
Check the outboard motor for external damage,
defects, or cracks.
