CAUTION
To avoid possible ingestion of water that can damage engine components:
• Do not turn the ignition key off when the engine is running above idle speed.
• Do not use the lanyard stop switch to shut off the engine above idle speed.
• When coming off plane, if a large following wave may roll over the boat’s transom, apply a short,
light burst of throttle to minimize the wave action against the stern of the boat.
• Do not come off plane quickly, shift into reverse and shut off engine.

IMPORTANT: Avoid stopping engine if the drive unit is in gear. If engine does stop with drive unit in gear,
refer to the following procedure:
15 Push and pull repeatedly on remote control handle until handle returns to the neutral detent position. This
may take several tries if the power package was operating above idle rpm when the engine stopped.
16 After handle returns to the neutral detent position, resume normal starting procedures.

Engine Guardian
IMPORTANT: Boat speed could be reduced to idle and may not respond to throttle.
Engine Guardian Strategy is designed to help reduce the potential for engine damage by reducing engine power
when a potential problem is sensed. Engine Guardian monitors:
• Oil Pressure
• Coolant Temperature
• Sea Pump Pressure
• Exhaust Manifold Temperature
For example, if one exhaust manifold’s water cooling passages become partially blocked, Engine Guardian will
reduce the power level of the engine to bring the temperature on that manifold back into the normal operating
temperature range. If the debris passes through and full water flow is restored, engine power levels are restored
back to normal. In other words, Engine Guardian is a looped feedback or smart system.
