Engine & Controls
Fuses
Your engine also comes equipped with fuses that will "blow" when
engine components attempt to draw more power than the piece of
equipment or wiring can handle. When the fuse blows, it breaks
the circuit, and electricity stops owing. Before replacing the fuse,
investigate the cause of the problem, and why the equipment was
overworked. Your outboard engine uses a helm mounted fuse
box which is accessible by li ing the starboard bow backrest while
others feature in-line fuses, while still others feature a mixture of
both. Refer to your outboard engine owner's manual for complete
details on your electrical system and the location of any engine
mounted over current protection.
ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM
Your engine expels the by-products of the engine operation through
an exhaust system, just like cars do. In boats however, this exhaust
system mixes the debris le over a er the power stroke of the engine
with the hot water that is expelled a er cooling the engine.
Basically the exhaust ows through the powerhead before expelling
the exhaust through the vertical drive housing either just above the
propeller, or through the prop sha .
ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
All engines require a source of fuel in order to run. e fuel that
an engine uses, is not only comprised of gasoline but also air. is
mixture of gas and air are combined into a ratio, best suited for your
engine and boat. If this system fails, the engine will have no fuel to
compress and ignite. It is important to make sure your fuel system
is functioning properly.
