IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION

BEFORE OPERATION.

To safely realize the full potential ofthis outboard motor, you need acomplete understanding of itsoperation and a certain amount ofpractice with its controls.

Before operating the outboard motorfor the first time, please review the

on page and thechapter titled

For your safety, avoid starting oroperating the engine in an enclosedarea. Your engine’s exhaust containspoisonous carbon monoxide gaswhich can collect rapidly in anenclosed area and cause illness ordeath.

Proper break-in operation allows themoving parts to wear in smoothly forbest performance and long servicelife.

Run the engine at trolling speed. Usethe minimum throttle openingnecessary to operate the boat at a safetrolling speed.

Run the engine up to a maximum of2,000 to 3,000 rpm, which is about10% to 30% of maximum throttleopening.

Run the engine up to a maximum of4,000 to 5,000 rpm, which is about50% to 80% of maximum throttleopening.

Short full-throttle bursts are OK, butdo not operate the enginecontinuously at full throttle.

For boats that plane easily, bring theboat up on plane, and then reduce thethrottle opening to the recommendedrpm range.

Do not run the engine at full throttlefor more than 5 minutes at a time.

CRUISING

Engine Speed Trim

OPERATION

Excessive trim/tilt angle duringoperation can cause propellerventilation, overheating, and waterpump damage.

If, for example, the outboard motoris tilted excessively, or propellerventilation occurs during a sharp turn,the engine may overrev, activatingthe overrev limiter.

The engine is equipped with anoverrev limiter to prevent thepossibility of mechanical damagefrom excessive engine speed.

For rough water conditions or largewaves, slow down to prevent thepropeller from rising out of the water.

For best fuel economy, limit thethrottle opening to 80%. Use thethrottle friction control (p. ) tohelp you hold a steady speed.

If engine speed becomes unstable athigh speed due to activation of theoverrev limiter, reduce speed andcheck the trim angle of the outboard

motor.

Use the power trim/tilt switch to trimthe outboard motor for the bestperformance and stability.

You can use the power trim/tiltswitch at any time, whether the boatis under way or stopped.

Press the UP or DN (down) side ofthe switch to adjust the angle of theoutboard motor.

Refer to the trim meter (p. ) for anindication of whether the boat istrimmed high or low.

It is necessary to trim the angle of theoutboard motor to compensate forchanges in boat load, weightdistribution, water conditions, orpropeller selection.

Under normal conditions, the boatwill perform best when the

antiventilation plate is level with thewater.

When cruising into a high wind, trimthe outboard motor down slightly tolevel the boat and improve stability.With a tail wind, trim the outboardmotor up slightly.

TRIM TAB

An excessive trim/tilt angle duringoperation can cause propellerventilation, overheating, and waterpump damage. This type of damageis not covered by the Distributor’sLimited Warranty.

If steering effort is not equal in bothdirections, adjust the trim tab tocompensate for ‘‘torque steer,’’which is the reaction of the outboardmotor to propeller rotation.

Adjust the trim tab with the enginestopped. Loosen the bolt above thetrim tab, turn the trim tab, thentighten the bolt securely.

When the trim tab is correctlyadjusted, steering effort will be equalin both directions.

When operating in shallow water, usethe power trim/tilt switch (p. ) totilt the outboard motor, so thepropeller and gear case won’t hit thebottom.

Proceed at low speed, and monitorwater flow from the cooling systemindicator (p. ) to be sure theoutboard motor is not tilted so highthat the water intakes are out of thewater.

To raise the outboard motor out ofthe water while the engine is stoppedand the boat is moored, or formaximum clearance when beachingor launching, use the power tiltswitch on the engine pan to tilt theoutboard motor as far as it will go,move the tilt lock lever to the LOCKposition, then gently lower theoutboard motor until the levercontacts the stern bracket.

If more clearance is needed to swingthe tilt lock lever into the LOCKposition, rock the outboard motorback slightly by pulling on the enginecover grip.

To lower the outboard motor, tilt up,move the tilt lock lever to the FREEposition, then lower the outboardmotor to the desired position.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use unleaded gasoline with a pumpoctane rating of 86 or higher.


Running the engine with persistentspark knock or pinging can causeengine damage.

Distributor’s LimitedWarranty

Your outboard motor is certified tooperate on unleaded gasoline.Unleaded gasoline produces fewerengine and spark plug deposits andextends exhaust system life.

Never use stale or contaminatedgasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.Avoid getting dirt or water in the fueltank.

Occasionally you may hear a light‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’(metallic rapping noise) whileoperating under heavy loads. This isno cause for concern.

If spark knock or pinging occurs at asteady engine speed, under normalload, change brands of gasoline. Ifspark knock or pinging persists, seean authorized Honda marine dealer.

Running the engine with persistentspark knock or pinging is misuse,and the

does not cover partsdamaged by misuse.

Distributor’s Limited WarrantyThedoes not cover fuel system damageor engine performance problemsresulting from neglected storagepreparation.

Gasoline will oxidize and deterioratein storage. Old gasoline will causehard starting, and it leaves gumdeposits that clog the fuel system. Ifthe gasoline in your fuel tank andvapor separator deteriorates duringstorage, you may need to have thevapor separator and other fuel systemcomponents serviced or replaced.

The length of time that gasoline canbe left in your fuel tank and vaporseparator without causing functionalproblems will vary with such factorsas gasoline blend, your storagetemperatures, and whether the fueltank is partially or completely filled.The air in a partially filled fuel tankpromotes fuel deterioration. Verywarm storage temperatures acceleratefuel deterioration. Fuel deteriorationproblems may occur within a fewmonths, or even less if the gasolinewas not fresh when you filled thefuel tank.

You can avoid fuel deteriorationproblems by draining the fuel tankand vapor separator.

Connect the drain hose to the drainjoint of the vapor separator and setthe other end of the hose towardthe outside of the engine undercase.

Emission Control SystemInformation


Source of Emissions

Tampering and AlteringThe U.S. and Calif ornia CleanAir Acts

The combustion process producescarbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,and hydrocarbons. Control ofhydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogenis very important because, undercertain conditions, they react to formphotochemical smog when subjectedto sunlight. Carbon monoxide doesnot react in the same way, but it istoxic.

Honda utilizes lean carburetorsettings and other systems to reducethe emissions of carbon monoxide,oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.

Tampering with or altering theemission control system may increaseemissions beyond the legal limit.Among those acts that constitutetampering are:

Removal or alteration of any partof the intake, fuel, or exhaustsystems.

Alterations that would cause theengine to operate outside its designparameters.

The following instructions andprocedures must be followed in orderto keep the emissions from yourHonda engine within the emissionstandards.

EPA and California regulationsrequire all manufacturers to furnishwritten instructions describing theoperation and maintenance ofemission control systems.

Maintenance

Replacement PartsProblems That May Af f ectEmissions

A manufacturer of an aftermarketpart assumes the responsibility thatthe part will not adversely affectemission performance. Themanufacturer or rebuilder of the partmust certify that use of the part willnot result in a failure of the engine tocomply with emission regulations.

Follow the maintenance schedule onp. . Remember that this scheduleis based on the assumption that yourmachine will be used for its designedpurpose. Sustained high-loadoperation, or use in unusualconditions, will require morefrequent service.

If you are aware of any of thefollowing symptoms, have yourengine inspected and repaired byyour servicing dealer.

Hard starting or stalling afterstarting.

Rough idle.

Misfiring or backfiring under load.

Afterburning (backfiring).
