Warning System

WARNING HORN SIGNALS
The outboard warning system incorporates a warning horn inside
the boat. Remote control models will have the warning horn
located inside the remote control or connected to the ignition key
switch. Tiller handle models will have the warning horn located in
the ignition key panel.
a - Horn inside remote control
b - Horn connected to ignition key switch
c - Horn in ignition key panel
There are two types of warning horns to alert the operator of an
active problem within the engine's operating system.
1. Continuous six second beep: Indicates a critical engine
condition. Depending on the condition, the Engine Guardian
System may engage and protect the engine by limiting its
power. You should return to port immediately and contact
your servicing dealer.
2. Intermittent short beeps for six seconds: Indicates a
noncritical engine condition. This condition does not require
immediate attention. You may continue using your boat,
however, depending on the nature of the problem, the
engine's power may be limited by the Engine Guardian
System (see Engine Guardian System following) to protect
the engine. You should contact your servicing dealer at your
earliest convenience.
