sounds intermittently. At the same time, the
engine speed is limited.
If the oil pressure warning is activated, imme-
diately reduce the engine speed, return to

“WARNING” indicator light and the engine
overheat warning indicator stop blinking and
remain on, and the buzzer sounds continu-
ously. After the light and indicator start to blinkand the buzzer sounds, the engine speed is
limited.
If the engine overheat warning is activated,
immediately reduce the engine speed, return
to shore, and then make sure that water is be-
ing discharged from the port (left) cooling wa-
ter pilot outlets while the engine is running. If
there is no discharge of water, stop the en-
gine, and then check the jet intake for clog-
ging. (See page 97 for information on the jet

sult a Yamaha dealer. Continuing to oper-
ate at higher speeds could result in severe
