Function Warning Horn Description Rev Limit
Sensor (ECT or
MAP) error
Intermittent short
beep
Engine speed will be
limited. Consult your
dealer for assistance.
2800 RPM
ENGINE OVERHEAT
If the engine overheats, immediately reduce throttle speed to idle. Shift
outboard into neutral and check for a steady stream of water coming out of the
water pump indicator hole.
73883
If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole, or flow is
intermittent, stop engine and check cooling water intake holes for obstruction. If
no obstruction is found, this may indicate a blockage in the cooling system or a
water pump problem. Have the outboard checked by your dealer. Operating the
engine while overheated will cause engine damage.
If a steady flow of water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole and the
engine continues to overheat, consult your dealer. Operating an overheated
engine will cause engine damage.
NOTE: Should overheating occur and you are stranded, stop the engine and
allow it to cool down. This will usually allow some additional low speed (idle)
running time before the engine starts to overheat again.
LOW OIL PRESSURE
The warning system will be activated if the oil pressure drops too low. First,
stop the engine and check the oil level. Add oil if necessary. If the oil is at the
recommended level and the warning horn continues to sound, consult your
dealer. Engine speed will be limited to 2800 RPM, however, you should not
continue to run engine.
ENGINE OVERSPEED LIMITER
Some causes of engine overspeed are as follows:
• Propeller ventilation
• A propeller that has an incorrect pitch or diameter
• Propeller hub slippage
• Outboard mounted too high on the transom
