Panel-Mount/Top-Mount Types

If oil pressure becomes low, the

green indicator light will

go

off, and

the engine protection system will

limit engine speed. If you are at

cruising speed, engine speed will

decrease gradually.

Oil pressure indicator is also

equipped with a buzzer that sounds

when the green indicator light goes

off.

Low oil pressure may be the result of

low engine oil level is, or there may

be a problem with the engine

lubrication system.

If the throttle is closed suddenly after

full throttle operation, engine speed

may drop below the specified idle

rpm, and that could activate the

engine protection system

momentarily.

If low oil pressure activates the

engine protection system, stop the

engine, check the engine oil level (p.

63

),

and add oil if needed.

With the engine oil at the

recommended level, restart the

engine. If the lubrication system is

OK,

the green indicator light should

come on within

30

seconds, and the

engine will respond normally to

throttle control lever operation.

If the engine protection system

remains activated after

30

seconds,

return to the nearest boat landing, and

have the outboard motor inspected by

an authorized Honda marine dealer.
