    ENGINE MANAGEMENT MODULE (EMM) DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION The Engine Management Module (EMM) is a water-cooled engine controller. It controls many outboard systems including alternator output for the 55 V circuits. Operating voltage is supplied to the EMM by the stator. This section discusses the functions of the EMM and its various internal and external sensors.

  • Page 309 SAFETY Running outboard too fast (Overspeeding) • “Too fast” means running faster than outboard normally runs on boat. Running too fast can happen when: 1) Using a flushing device... Turn on water before starting outboard. Keep engine speed below 2000 RPM. With no load, outboard will run too fast very easily.
  • Page 310 SAFETY Running outboards: Propellers DANGER Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to result in serious injury or death. Assure the engine and prop area is clear of people and objects before starting engine or operating boat. Do not allow anyone near a propeller, even when the engine is off. Blades can be sharp and the propeller can continue to turn even after the engine is off.
