Steering effort is high
S.A.F.E. Reset
In the event of an engine overheat, it may be
possible to reset the S.A.F.E. system and re-
store normal operation:
• The engine must be shut off and the cooling
temperature restored.
IF the S.A.F.E. mode activates and water
pressure becomes intermittent or stops, re-
duce speed to idle and:
1) Shift to NEUTRAL.
2) SHUT OFF the engine.
3) Tilt the outboard up.
4) Clean the water intake screens of any
blockage.
5) Clean the water pump indicator of any
blockage.
6) Lower the outboard.
7) Restart the engine and run at idle.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
S.A.F.E. protection mode activated with a continuous indicator —
The EMM has identified a problem with the outboard.
• Seek assistance and/or return to harbor.
• See the Service Note on page 48.
A continuous indicator without S.A.F.E. mode —
The EMM has identified a problem that should be addressed as
soon as practical to avoid operational difficulties. See the Service
Note on page 48.
Shut-down mode activated with a flashing indicator —
The EMM has identified an abnormal operating condition related to
the fuel system.
• The engine will shut OFF and cannot be restarted.
• Seek assistance and/or return to harbor.
• See the Service Note on page 48.
S.A.F.E. protection mode activated with a continuous indicator,
outboard reduces speed to idle and shifts into NEUTRAL. Remote
control LED indicators flashing rapidly. The digital display
identifies codes 114 and 115, loss of network communication —
The EMM has identified a problem with the digital networks.
• Reset networks. Turn the key switch OFF. Then restart the en-
gine(s).
• Seek assistance and/or return to harbor.
• See the Service Note on page 48.
• Air in steering system
• Hydraulic steering fluid low
• Hydraulic hose kinked or restricted.
• See the Service Note on page 48.
• Air in steering system.
• Hydraulic hose kinked or restricted.
• See the Service Note on page 48.
IF cleaning the screens and indicator does
not restore the water pump indicator's steady
discharge, the engine will operate only in
S.A.F.E. mode. Return to harbor immediately.
See the Service Note on page 48.
IF cleaning the screens and indicator does re-
store the water pump indicator's steady dis-
charge, you might have to run for two minutes
in NEUTRAL to allow the engine to cool and
the warning indicator to turn OFF.
IMPORTANT: If cooling is not restored, the
EMM will identify a progressive overheating
condition and shut off the engine. The
"TEMP" warning will flash. The engine will not
restart until the engine is allowed to cool.
