COOLING WATER INTAKE PORT (each side)
6. After starting, check whether the
cooling water is flowing out of the
cooling water check hole. Amount
of water flowing out of the check
hole might vary due to the
thermostat operation, but this is
normal.
WATER CHECK HOLE
If water does not flow out, or if
steam comes out, stop the engine.
Check to see if the screen in the
cooling water intake port is
obstructed and remove foreign
materials if necessary. Check the
cooling water check hole for
clogging. If water still does not
flow out, have your outboard
motor checked by an authorized
Honda outboard motor dealer. Do
not operate the engine until the
problem has been corrected.
