Overrev Limiter
The engine is equipped with an
overrev limiter to prevent the
possibility of mechanical damage
from excessive engine speed.
The overrev limiter may be activated
during operation, limiting engine
speed, if the outboard motor is
trimmed or tilted excessively, or
when propeller ventilation occurs
during a sharp turn.
If the overrev limiter is activated,
check the trim angle of the outboard
motor.
Check to see if the correct propeller
is installed.
Anodes
ANODE
(each side)
The anodes are made of a sacrificial
material that helps to protect the
outboard motor from corrosion.
There are two anodes on the gear
case, one on the stern bracket, and
two small anodes in the water
passages of the engine block.

A priming bulb is built into the fuel
hose that connects the fuel tank to the
outboard motor.
Before starting the engine, hold the
priming bulb up in the direction of
the arrow, then squeeze the priming
bulb until it feels firm. This will
ensure that fuel is supplied to the
engine (p.
