Figure 5.3 – Basic Keypad
OTE: N Some boat manufacturers use touch pad starting rather
than key switches. Refer to the boat operator’s manual if
your boat is so equipped.
NOTICE
Once the engine has started, immediately check the oil pressure.
Monitor the oil pressure and engine temperature closely for the
first 10 minutes of operation.
IF ENGINE DOES NOT START
NOTICE
Do not operate starter motor for more than 15 seconds without a
2 (two) minute cool-down period. Excessively long cranking times
will permanently damage the starter motor and drain the battery.
Damage from overheating the starter motor is not covered by the
warranty.
Turn the key to the START position. If the engine does not start, let
the starter cool down for two minutes, disengage the shift interlock
and advance the throttle lever about 1/4 of its total travel. Turn the
key to START again and see if the engine starts.
If your engine does not start after several attempts, it may have
too much fuel and needs to be cleared.
