Power Reduction
Power reduction
This outboard motor is equipped
with the power reduction system
which activates when the
outboard motor has a serious
problem.
The power reduction system
decreases the engine speed to
protect the engine until the
malfunction is corrected.
When one of the two systems of
the remote control sensor is faulty,
the power reduction system does
not decrease the engine speed.
SHALLOW WATER OPERATION
NOTICE
• Excessive trim/tilt angle
during operation can cause
the propeller to raise out of
the water and cause propeller
ventilation and engine over-
revving. Excessive trim/tilt
angle can also damage the
water pump and overheat the
engine.
When operating in shallow water,
tilt the outboard motor up to
prevent the propeller and gear
case from hitting the bottom (see
page 91). With the outboard
motor tilted up, operate the
outboard motor at low speed.
Monitor the cooling water check
hole for water discharge. Be sure
that the outboard motor is not
tilted so high that the water
intakes are out of the water.
