Rev Limiter
The engine is equipped with a rev
limiter to prevent the possibility of
mechanical damage from excessive
engine speed.
The rev limiter may be activated
during operation, limiting engine
speed, if the outboard motor is
trimmed or tilted up excessively, or
when propeller ventilation occurs
during a sharp turn.
If the rev limiter is activated, check
the trim angle of the outboard motor.
Check to see if the correct propeller is
installed.
