TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
WATER SEPARATOR
BUZZER SOUNDS
WATER SEPARATOR
When the water separator buzzer
sounds (a rapid, repeating signal):
Check the water separator for water
contamination. If water is present,
stop the engine, and clean the water
separator following the instructions
on page 78, or consult with an
authorized TOHATSU dealer.

SUBMERGED OUTBOARD
MOTOR
A submerged outboard motor must be
serviced immediately after it is
recovered from the water in order to
minimize corrosion.
If there is a TOHATSU dealership
nearby, take the outboard motor to the
dealer immediately. If you are far
from a dealership, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove the engine cover, and rinse
the outboard motor with fresh
water to remove salt water, sand,
mud, etc.
2. Drain the vapor separator as
described on p. 85.
3. Change the engine oil and oil filter
as described on p. 63 – 67. If there
was water in the engine crankcase,
or if the used engine oil showed
signs of water contamination, then
a second engine oil change should
be performed after running the
engine for half an hour.
4. Remove the spark plugs (p. 70).
Operate the starter to expel water
from the engine's cylinder.
