Guardian Strategy
The MerCruiser Engine Guardian system reduces the potential for engine damage by restricting engine power when the PCM
detects a potential problem. Below are some examples of what Engine Guardian monitors:
•
Oil pressure
•
Engine overspeed
•
Exhaust manifold temperature
•
Transmission oil temperature
IMPORTANT: Engine Guardian can reduce power anywhere from 100% to idle, depending on the severity of the problem. If
forced to idle, boat speed might not respond to throttle operation.
The PCM stores the fault for diagnostics. For example, if the water inlet becomes partially blocked, Engine Guardian reduces
the available power level of the engine to help prevent damage from decreased water flow to the engine. If the debris passes
through, and full water flow is restored, Engine Guardian restores engine power to normal.
