NOTE: Starting flooded engine ‑ Move the choke lever down to the open

continue to crank engine for starting.
9. After engine starts, 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 for obstruction. No obstruction may
indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system. These
conditions will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by
your dealer. Operating the engine while overheated will cause engine damage.
Gear Shifting ‑ Models with Gear Shift
• The outboard has two gear shift positions to provide operation: forward
and neutral.
