Adjusting Trolling Speed
When pressing the “UP” switch, one short beep sounds and the engine speed increases by 50 r/min.
When pressing the “DN” switch, one short beep sounds and the engine speed decreases by 50 r/min.
• When pressing the “DN” switch at the lower limit of trolling speed of all engines, the engine speed will not change and three long beeps will sound.
• When pressing the “UP” switch at the upper limit of trolling speed of all engines, the engine speed will not change and three long beeps will sound.
• For the multiple engines:
If the switch is operated when one engine has reached the adjustment limit of trolling speed, while any other engine has not, one short beep sounds and the rpm of engine which has not reached the adjustment limit changes.
• Shift operation and throttle control remain operational, even in troll mode.
Cancelling the Troll mode:
The troll mode can be cancelled by shifting the all remote control levers to the neutral position, or by increasing the engine speed to 3000 r/min or more. In both cases, two short beeps sound when cancelling the troll mode.
OPERATION IN SALT WATER
After operating the motor in salt water, you should flush the water passages with clean, fresh water as outlined in the FLUSHING THE WATER PASSAGES section. If you do not flush the water passages, salt can corrode the motor and shorten its life.
OPERATION IN FREEZING WEATHER
When operating your outboard motor in freezing temperatures, you should keep the lower unit submerged in the water at all times. When taking motor out of the water, stand it up in a vertical position until the cooling system drains completely.
If you leave your outboard motor out of the water in freezing temperatures with water still in the cooling system, the water can freeze and expand, causing severe damage to the motor.
When your outboard is in the water in freezing temperatures, keep the lower unit submerged in the water at all times. When the motor is stored out of the water in freezing temperatures stand it up in the vertical position so that the cooling system drains completely.
