Cooling-Water Pilot Outlets
Check that water comes out from the
pilot outlets while engine is running in
the water. Refer to page 2-11 for cor-
rect operation of the device.
NOTE:
It may take up to 20 seconds for water
to reach the pilot outlets when first
launching the boat. The amount and
force of the exiting water will vary with
engine rpm.
CAUTION:
A continuous flow of water from the
pilot hole shows that water is flow-
ing through the engine cooling pas-
sages. If water is not flowing out of
the pilot hole during operation, do
not continue to run the engines.
Overheating and serious damage
could occur. See Overheat Warning
System, page 2-11, for more infor-
mation.
