ENGINE GUARDIAN SYSTEM
The Engine Guardian System monitors the critical sensors on the engine for any early indications of problems.
The system will respond to a problem by emitting a continuous beep and/or reducing engine power in order to
provide engine protection.
If Guardian System has been activated, reduce throttle speed. The problem will need to be identified and corrected,
if possible. The system must be reset before the engine will operate at higher speeds. Moving the throttle lever
back to the idle position will reset the system.
SMARTCRAFT PRODUCT
A Mercury SmartCraft System instrument package can be purchased for this outboard. A few of the functions the
instrument package will display are engine RPM, coolant temperature, battery voltage, fuel consumption and
engine operating hours.
The SmartCraft Instrument package will also aid in Engine Guardian diagnostics. The SmartCraft Instrument
package will display critical engine alarm data and potential problems.
