CRUISING
Engine Speed
For best fuel economy, limit the
throttle opening to 80%. Use the
throttle friction control (P.66) to
help you hold a steady speed.
For rough water conditions or
large waves, slow down to
prevent the propeller from rising
out of the water.
The engine is equipped with a rev
limiter to prevent the possibility
of mechanical damage from
excessive engine speed.
If, for example, the outboard
motor is tilted excessively or
propeller ventilation occurs
during a sharp turn, the engine
may overrev, activating the rev
limiter.
If engine speed becomes
unstable at high speed due to
activation of the rev limiter,
reduce speed and check the trim
angle of the outboard motor.
WARNING
Traveling at high speeds may
cause the boat to loss of
control in some water
conditions, which could result
in damage to the outboard
motor and injury to the
occupants.
Always travel at safe speeds for
the water conditions.
OPERATION
Trim
Use the power trim/tilt switch to
trim the outboard motor for the
best performance and stability.
You can use the power trim/tilt
switch at any time, whether the
boat is underway or stopped.
Press the UP or DN (down) side
of the switch to adjust the angle
of the outboard motor.
Refer to the multi-function
display or NMEA2000-compatible
display for an indication of
whether the outboard motor is
trimmed high or low.
