Operating Hour Notification

System

This outboard motor engine counts the number of operating hours since the last periodic maintenance. When the next periodic maintenance is due, the engine notifies the NMEA2000 network, and a maintenance indication is displayed on an

NMEA2000-compatible device.

After periodic maintenance is performed, reset the hour counter by:

1. Stopping the engine.

2. Setting the gearshift at F or R.

3. Turning the ignition switch ON.

The buzzer will sound once.

4. Pressing the emergency stop switch

5 times within 20 seconds.

The buzzer will sound once when the hour counter is reset.

Periodic maintenance is required when either the operating hours or the time since last maintenance reaches the prescribed limit. Therefore, periodic maintenance may be required based on the number of months since the last maintenance before the alert based on engine operating hours displays (see

Maintenance Schedule on page 85).

Reset the hour counter whenever maintenance is performed, whether based on the time interval or the number of operating hours.
