WARM-UP
Before driving the boat, let the engine run at low speed for
approximately three minutes to let it warm‑up. If the engine is not
warmed up beforehand, the engine life will shorten greatly. During
the warm‑up operation, confirm that cooling water is discharged
from the water pump indicator hole and idle port.
IMPORTANT: If cooling water is not discharged and engine
operation is continued, the engine may overheat and damage may
occur.
