Submerged Motor - Honda Outboard Motor BF200A Owner's Manual

TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
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
clogged, 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 Honda marine dealer.
WATER CONTAMINATION
BUZZER SOUNDS
WATER SEPARATOR
When the water contamination
buzzer sounds:
1. Check the water separator for
water contamination. If water is
accumulated, stop the engine, and
clean the water separator following
the instructions on page 72 , or
consult with an authorized Honda
outboard motor dealer.
SUBMERGED 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 dearship
nearby, take the 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. 77.
