7. OPERATION (MOTOR PROTECTION SYSTEM)
Over-Rev Limiter
This outboard motor is equipped with
an engine over-rev limiter which
activates when the engine speed
increases excessively. The over-rev
limiter can be activated while cruising,
or when ventilation occurs during a
sharp turn.
When the over-rev limiter is activated:
1. Reduce the throttle opening immedi-
ately and check the motor angle.
2. If the motor angle is correct but the
over-rev limiter stays activated, stop
the engine and check the condition
of the outboard motor and check the
propeller for damage. Correct or
service as necessary.
Anode
E (trim tab)
The anode is a sacrificial material
which helps to protect the outboard
motor from corrosion.
-1 Painting or coating the
anode will lead to rust and corrosion
damage to the outboard motor.
There is a small sacrificial anode in the
water passages of the engine block.
