OPERATION

CRUISING

Engine Speed

For best fuel economy, limit the throttle opening to 80%. Use the

throttle friction control (p.

31 ) to

help you hold a steady speed.

For rough water conditions or large waves, slow down to prevent the propeller from rising out of the water.

TRANSOM ANGLE

Install the outboard motor at the best transom angle for stable cruising and maximum power.

Transom angle too large: Incorrect causes boat to ‘‘squat’’.

Transom angle too small: Incorrect causes boat to ‘‘plow’’.

It is necessary to adjust the transom angle to compensate for changes in boat load, weight distribution, water conditions, or propeller selection.

Under normal running conditions, the boat will perform best when the antiventilation plate is level with the water.

When cruising into a high wind, lower the transom angle slightly to level the boat and improve stability.

With a tail wind, raise the transom angle slightly.

Excessive transom angle during operation can cause propeller ventilation and overheating.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Use unleaded gasoline with a pump octane rating of 86 or higher.

This outboard motor is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.

Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.

Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank.

Occasionally you may hear a light

‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’

(metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no cause for concern.

If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load, change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized Honda marine dealer.

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage.

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is misuse, and the

STORAGE

STORAGE PREPARATION

Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your outboard motor troublefree and looking good.

The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your outboard motor’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use the outboard motor again.

Cleaning

Thoroughly clean and flush the outboard motor with fresh water after operation in dirty water or salt water.

Wash the outside of the outboard motor with clean, fresh water to remove mud, salt, seaweed, etc.

Touch up any damaged paint, and coat areas that may rust with Honda

Corrosion Inhibitor, or equivalent.

Lubricate controls with a silicone spay lubricant.

Fuel

Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your fuel tank and carburetor deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the carburetor and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.

The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and carburetor without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled.

The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.

The

Distributor’s Limited Warranty

does not cover fuel system damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation.

You can extend fuel storage life by adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining all the fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor.

51

03/05/30 15:13:30 31ZW6601_053

STORAGE

Adding a Fuel Stabilizer

When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.

1.

2.

3.

Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Refer to previous page for proper running procedure. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that the treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor.

Turn the engine OFF, turn the fuel

valve lever OFF (p.13), and close

the fuel cap vent knob (p.15).

Draining the Fuel Tank and

Carburetor

You can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and carburetors.

1.

With the outboard motor in a vertical position, place an approved gasoline container below the fuel drain outlet, and use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel.

2.

With the engine stopped, turn the fuel cap vent knob counterclockwise to open the fuel vent and remove the fuel filler cap.

3.

Loosen the carburetor drain screw and move the fuel valve lever to the ON position to drain the carburetor and the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container.

DRAIN SCREW

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.

You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.

Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.

Handle fuel only outdoors.

Wipe up spills immediately.

4.

After draining is completed, tighten the carburetor drain screw and turn the fuel valve to the OFF position.

When cranking the engine with an open ignition circuit (spark plug removed f rom the ignition circuit), remove the clip f rom the engine stop switch to prevent possible damage to the ignition system.

TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS

5.

Pour a teaspoon of engine oil into the spark plug hole, then pull the recoil starter grip several times to lubricate the inside of the cylinder.

6.

Reinstall the spark plug, and put the emergency stop switch clip into the switch.

7.

Attempt to start the engine.

If the engine fails to start, remove the spark plug, and dry it, then reinstall the spark plug and attempt to start the engine again.

If the engine starts, and no mechanical damage is evident, continue to run the engine for a half hour or longer.

8.

As soon as possible, take the outboard motor to an authorized

Honda marine dealer for inspection and service.

TECHNICAL AND CONSUMER INFORMATION

Carburetor Modification for

High Altitude Operation

At high altitude, the standard carburetor air-fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase.

A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.

High altitude performance can be improved by specific modifications to the carburetor. If you always operate your outboard motor at altitudes above 5,000 feet (1,500 meters), have an authorized Honda marine dealer perform this carburetor modification.

Even with carburetor modification, engine horsepower will decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000-foot (300meter) increase in altitude. The effect of altitude on horsepower will be greater than this if no carburetor modification is made.

When the carburetor has been modif ied f or high altitude operation, the air-f uel mixture will be too lean f or low altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 5,000 f eet (1,500 meters) with modif ied carburetor may cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine damage.

For use at low altitudes, have an authorized Honda marine dealer return the carburetor to original f actory specif ications.

TECHNICAL AND CONSUMER INFORMATION

Oxygenated Fuels

Some conventional gasolines are being blended with alcohol or an ether compound. These gasolines are collectively referred to as oxygenated fuels. To meet clean air standards, some areas of the United States and

Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions.

If you use an oxygenated fuel, be sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.

Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states/provinces require this information to be posted on the pump.

The following are the EPA-approved percentages of oxygenates:

ETHANOL:

ethyl or grain alcohol;

10% by volume.

You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name ‘‘Gasohol’’.

MTBE:

Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether;

15% by volume.

You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume.

METHANOL:

methyl or wood alcohol; 5% by volume.

You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume, as long as it also contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also

64

damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of your fuel system.

If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station, or switch to another brand of gasoline.

Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates mentioned above are not covered under warranty.

TECHNICAL AND CONSUMER INFORMATION

Emission Control System

Information

Source of Emissions

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons. Control of hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen is very important because, under certain conditions, they react to form photochemical smog when subjected to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic.

Honda utilizes lean carburetor settings and other systems to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and hydrocarbons.

The U.S. and Calif ornia Clean

Air Acts

EPA and California regulations require all manufacturers to furnish written instructions describing the operation and maintenance of emission control systems.

The following instructions and procedures must be followed in order to keep the emissions from your

Honda engine within the emission standards.

Tampering and Altering

Tampering with or altering the emission control system may increase emissions beyond the legal limit.

Among those acts that constitute tampering are:

Removal or alteration of any part of the intake, fuel, or exhaust systems.

Alterations that would cause the engine to operate outside its design parameters.

65

03/05/30 15:15:57 31ZW6601_067

TECHNICAL AND CONSUMER INFORMATION

Problems That May Af f ect

Emissions

If you are aware of any of the following symptoms, have your engine inspected and repaired by your servicing dealer.

Hard starting or stalling after starting.

Rough idle.

Misfiring or backfiring under load.

Afterburning (backfiring).

Black exhaust smoke or high fuel consumption.

Replacement Parts

The emission control systems on your Honda engine were designed, built, and certified to conform with

EPA and California emission regulations. We recommend the use of genuine Honda parts whenever you have maintenance done. These original-design replacement parts are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts, so you can be confident of their performance. The use of replacement parts that are not of the original design and quality may impair the effectiveness of your emission control system.

A manufacturer of an aftermarket part assumes the responsibility that the part will not adversely affect emission performance. The manufacturer or rebuilder of the part must certify that use of the part will not result in a failure of the engine to comply with emission regulations.

Maintenance

Follow the maintenance schedule on

p.

39 . Remember that this schedule

is based on the assumption that your machine will be used for its designed purpose. Sustained high-load operation, or use in unusual conditions, will require more frequent service.
