NOTE: The engine can be started by using the ignition key or the start/stop button located on the remote control

should be filled as follows:
a. Squeeze the fuel line primer bulb until it feels firm.
b. Turn the ignition key switch to the "ON" position for three seconds. This operates the electric fuel pump.

firm. Turn the ignition key switch to the "ON" position again for three seconds. Continue this procedure
until the fuel line primer bulb stays firm.

system will automatically crank the engine for starting. If engine fails to start, engine will stop cranking. Turn
the key to "START" position again until engine starts.

9. Check for a steady stream of water flowing out of the water pump indicator hole.
IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole, stop engine and check cooling water
intake holes for obstruction. No obstruction may indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system.
This condition will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by your dealer. Operating the engine
while overheated will cause engine damage.
