Water Separator Buzzer Sounds; Submerged Outboard Motor - HONDA marine BF115J Owner's Manual

If water is flowing from the cooling
system indicator, continue idling for
30 seconds. If the cooling system is
OK, the overheat indicator should go
off within 30 seconds, and the engine
will respond normally to throttle
control lever operation.
If there is no water flowing from the
cooling system indicator, stop the
engine, and tilt the outboard motor to
inspect the water intake screens. If
restricted, clean the water intake
screens, return the outboard motor to
the running position, restart the
engine, and check the cooling system
indicator again.
If there is still no water flowing from
the cooling system indicator, or if the
engine protection system remains
activated after 30 seconds, return to
the nearest boat landing, and have the
outboard motor inspected by an
authorized Marine dealer.
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 111, or consult with an
authorized Honda Marine 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 Honda Marine 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. 121.
