Engine Shut-Off Switch

Engine shut-off switch  Clip with cord

First, place the boat in the water to provide adequate engine cooling. Start the engine, and then remove the engine shut-off switch clip, and verify that the engine stops.

Refer to pages 3-15 to 3-17, “STARTING THE ENGINES,” for information on proper operation of the starter switch.

Cooling-Water Pilot Outlets

Check that water comes out from the pilot outlets while engine is running in the water. Refer to page 2-13 for correct operation of the device.

TIP: It may take up to 20 seconds for water to reach the pilot outlets when first launching the boat. The amount and force of the exiting water will vary with engine rpm.

A continuous flow of water from the pilot hole shows that water is flowing through the engine cooling passages. If water is not flowing out of the pilot hole during operation, do not continue to run the engines. Overheating and serious damage could occur. See Overheat Warning System, page 2-13, for more informa- tion.
