If the engine overheats, the red
indicator will come on, and the
engine protection system will limit
engine speed. If you are at cruising
speed, engine speed will decrease
(RED)
gradually.
Remote control types are equipped
with a buzzer that sounds
continuously when the red indicator
comes on.
The buzzer sound stops below an
engine speed of 1,400 rpm.
Engine overheating may be the result
of clogged water intake screens, or
there may be a problem with the
cooling system thermostat or water
pump.
If the engine is stopped after running
at full throttle, and then restarted
soon afterward, that could activate
the engine protection system
momentarily.
COOLING SYSTEM INDICATOR
If overheating activates the engine
protection system, idle the engine in
neutral, and check the cooling system
indicator.
