OPERATION
When the oil pressure warning
system is activated:
1. Stop the engine immediately and
check the engine oil level (see page
42).
2. If the oil is up to the recommended
level, restart the engine. If the oil
pressure warning system stops after
30 seconds, the system is normal.
If the throttle was closed suddenly
after cruising at full throttle, the
engine speed may drop below the
specified idle speed. This could cause
the oil pressure warning system to
activate momentarily.
3. If the oil pressure warning system
stays activated after 30 seconds,
return to the closest boat landing
and contact your closest authorized
Honda outboard motor dealer.

COOLING WATER CHECK HOLE
When the overheat warning system is
activated:
1. Return the gearshift lever or control
lever to the N (neutral) position
immediately. Check to see if water
is flowing out of the cooling water
check hole.
2. If water is flowing out of the
cooling water check hole, continue
idling for 30 seconds. If the
overheat warning system stops
after 30 seconds the system is
normal.
If the engine is turned off after
running at full throttle, the engine
temperature may rise above normal.
If the engine is restarted, shortly after
being turned off, the overheat
warning system could be activated
momentarily.
