<Mooring>
NO!
To avoid damaging the outboard motor, use the utmost
care when mooring a boat, especially when its
outboard motor is tilted up. Don't allow the outboard
motor to strike against the pier or other boats.
Close the internal fuel tank vent by turning the vent knob
clockwise all the way. If you will be storing the outboard
motor.
<Over-rev Limiter>
This outboard motor is equipped with an engine over-rev
limiter which activates when the engine speed increases
excessively. The over-rev limiter can be activated while
cruising, tilting up the outboard motor, or when ventilation
occurs during a sharp turn.
When the over-rev limiter is activated:
1. Reduce the throttle opening immediately and check the
trim angle.
2. If the trim angle is correct but the over-rev limiter stays
activated, stop the engine, check the condition of the
outboard motor, check to see if the correct propeller is
installed and check it for damage.
Correct or service as necessary, by contacting your
authorized Honda outboard motor dealer.
