Hei
I have alarm going on my Optimax 75 I have mounted an smart craft and The alarm says: Pilot water pressure. Can it be the sensor that is wrong?? I have messured the water outlet to 4 liter pr min. at idle and 6,5liter pr min at 1800 - 2000 RPM.
If I have to change the sensor, where is it located? Hope you can give me a good answer, and advise what I shoould do. Thank you.

These coils voltage pulse exits the CDM through the ground wire are mounted adjacent to the flywheel center hub.
Ignition Coil Circuit As the capacitor voltage flows through the primary windings of the ignition coil, a voltage is induced into the ignition coil secondary windings. This secondary voltage rises to the level required to jump the spark plug gap and return to ground. This secondary volt- age can, if necessary, reach approximately 40,000 volts.
Stop Circuit To stop the engine, the stop switch is closed allowing the capacitor charge current from the stator to drain directly to ground. NOTE: The CDM contains a zener diode (not shown for clarity). This diode prevents overcharging of the capacitor (and possible failure) if the SCR does not receive a trigger pulse.
Rev Limiter Circuit The rev limiter is activated through the PURPLE wire when the key switch is rotated to the “on” position. The rev limiter uses a trigger signal (BROWN WIRE) to determine engine speed or rpm. If the engine speed exceeds the specified rpm, the rev limiter will ground out the CDM capacitor charge.

High Altitude Jet Chart Factory installed main fuel jets are normally adequate for proper performance up to approximately 5000 feet (1524m) above sea level. Between 2000 feet (609.6m) and 5000 feet (1524m) the reduction of the main fuel jet(s) may result in improved performance and fuel economy. Above 5000 feet, however, it is recommended that main jet size be reduced as shown per 1000 feet (304.8m) in the following chart.
Fuel System Troubleshooting General Information Problems that are thought to be caused by the fuel system may, in reality, be something completely dif- ferent. Items, that are shown below, could give the impression that there is a problem in the fuel system. 1.
Problem: Engine Turns Over But Will Not Start Or Starts Hard When Cold Possible Cause Corrective Action Improper starting procedure used. Review starting procedure as outlined in “Operation and Maintenance Manual”. Fuel tank empty or too low. Improperly mixed fuel. Check fuel in tank and replace or add whichever is Contaminants (water, dirt, etc.) in fuel.
Problem: Engine Runs Too Lean Possible Cause Corrective Action Carburetor is loose. Air leaks past mixing chamber Tighten bolts securely. Tighten cover or replace gas- cover. ket. Fuel level is too low. Reset float level. Clogged high speed jet. Inspect jet for varnish or debris and clean. Restricted fuel flow to carburetor.
Inspection 3. Inspect idle mixture screw. Replace if bent or damaged. CAUTION Do not use steel wire for cleaning the jets as this may enlarge the jet diameters and seriously af- fect performance. Use a petroleum based solvent for cleaning and blow out all passages with com- pressed air.

Car- bon monoxide is the product of incomplete combus- Through the Environmental Protection Agency tion and is a dangerous, potentially lethal gas.
As the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner, combustion temperatures increase. Higher combustion temper- atures raise the NOx content of the exhaust. But, enrichening the air/fuel ratio to decrease combus- tion temperatures and reduce NOx also increases HC and CO, as well as lowering fuel economy. So the solution to controlling NOx - as well as HC and CO - is to keep the air/fuel ratio as close to 14.7:1 as pos- sible.
STRATIFIED VS HOMOGENIZED CHARGE DFI engines use a stratified charge inside the combustion chamber to aid in reducing emissions. All other models use a homogenized charge. The difference between the two is: Homogenized Charge Stratified Charge A homogenized charge has the fuel/air particles A stratified charge engine only pulls air through the mixed evenly throughout the cylinder.

Description The Power Trim system consists of an electric motor, pressurized fluid reservoir, pump and trim cylinder. The remote control (or trim panel) is equipped with a switch that is used for trimming the outboard “up” and “down”, and for tilting the outboard for shallow water operation (at slow speed) or for “trailering”.

Trim Up When the trim switch is activated in the up position, the electric motor (c) begins to rotate the pump gears (j), the oil pump draws a small amount of oil through the filter (g) and through the up circuit suction port (i). The oil pump gear (j) rotation forces oil into the pas- sages for the up circuit.

Tilt Up In the up mode, as the piston rod (a) extends from the cylinder (w), the memory piston (t) clears or uncovers the pressure relief passage. Oil from the up cavity will enter this passage and, if required, causes the tilt re- lief piston (s) to open the tilt pressure relief valve (r).

Maximum Tilt With the piston rod at maximum travel, and due to no rod movement, the pressure inside of the trim cylin- der (w) will increase to the pressure required to move the tilt relief piston (s). The tilt relief piston’s “pin” opens the tilt relief valve (r).

Down Mode When the trim switch is activated in the down posi- tion, the electric motor (c) will rotate the pump (j) in the opposite direction. With the pump gears rotating backwards, the flow of oil is reversed. Oil is drawn through the filter (g), through the down circuit suction port (k) and into the oil pump (j).

Manual Tilt To manually tilt the outboard engine, the owner will need to back out the manual release valve (p) 3-4 turns. With the valve backed out, the internal pas- sages inside the manifold are connected together.

Questions and answers
Hei I have alarm going on my Optimax 75 I have mounted an smart craft and The alarm says: Pilot water pressure. Can it be the sensor that is wrong?? I have messured the water outlet to 4 liter pr min. at idle and 6,5liter pr min at 1800 - 2000 RPM. If I have to change the sensor, where is it located? Hope you can give me a good answer, and advise what I shoould do. Thank you.
