SYSTEM)
Over-Rev
Limiter
This outboard motor is equipped with
an engine over-rev limiter which
acti-
vates when the engine speed increases
excessively. The over-rev limiter can
be activated while cruising, tilting up
the motor, or when ventilation occurs
during a sharp turn.
When the
over-rev
limiter is activated:
I. Reduce the throttle opening immedi-
ately and check the trim angle.
2. If the trim angle is correct but the
over-rev limiter stays activated,
stop the engine, check the condition
of the outboard motor, and check the
propeller for damage. Correct or
service as necessary.
Anodes
(stern bracket)
The anodes are a sacrificial material
which helps to protect the outboard
motor from core:osion.

Painting
or coating
the
anodes
will
lead to rust and corrosion
damage
to the outboard
motor.
There are also 2 small sacrificial anodes
in the water passages of the engine
block.
