Warning System - Mercury 200 Verado FourStroke Operation, Maintenance & Warranty Manual

Turning off the starboard outer engine while underway will cause the starboard
inner engine to go into forced neutral/idle. Operation to the inner engine can be
restored by turning the starboard outer engine ignition key to the on position
and moving the starboard control handle back into neutral position and then
into gear. The inner engine speed and gear shift will then be controlled by the
starboard control handle.
Turning off the port outer engine while underway will cause the port inner
engine to go into forced neutral/idle. Operation to the inner engine can be
restored by turning the port outer engine ignition key to the on position and
moving the port control handle back into neutral position and then into gear.
The inner engine speed and gear shift will then be controlled by the port control
handle.
Turning off one of the inner engines while underway will have no effect on the
operation of the outer engines.
If a failure should occur while underway which causes the starboard outer
engine into forced neutral/idle condition, the inner starboard engine will also be
forced to neutral/idle. Operation to the inner engine can be restored by moving
the starboard control handle back into neutral and then into gear.
If a failure should occur while underway which causes the port outer engine into
forced neutral/idle condition, the inner port engine will also be forced to neutral/
idle. Operation to the inner engine can be restored by moving the port control
handle back into neutral and then into gear.

Warning System

WARNING HORN SIGNALS
When the key switch is turned to the ON position, the horn will turn on for a
moment as a test to indicate the horn is working.
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 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. Refer to Engine Guardian System. You should contact your
servicing dealer at your earliest convenience.
It is important to note that in either of the above scenarios, the horn will only
sound one time. If you key the engine off and restart it, the horn will sound
again, one time, if the fault is still present. For visual display of the specific
engine functions and additional engine data, refer to SmartCraft Product.
