Engine serial number BEBE1001155, which I am told is a 1999, under my throttle on the console are 2 red lights, what are they for?
I don't believe they are Boston Whaler lights, I have a 1986 Outrage 18.
Thanks.
Don
There are two different types of Honda keyswitch, ones with all four lights on the panel with the key and a two light keyswitch which has just the small oil pressure (green) and overheat (red) lights on the same panel as the key. Then there will be this second small light panel which has the alternator light (which goes out when you start the engine) and the check engine light.I have 2 lights by the key switch which I think are the ones you refer to, these are separate from those 2.
Just a guess on the big button....
If each of the Evinrudes had their own battery, it might have been an emergency "jump" from one battery to the other, if one is dead.
I doubt if it is and emergency cutoff. A cutoff would not need that big of a gauge of cable.
If you can trace one of the wires to the battery and the other to a location that might have been a second battery, then that is probably what it is.
As a side note, you can download an owner's manual from Honda for free, that will give you more info on the various warning lights.
It probably also has a wiring diagram for the engine and wiring harness to help in your tracing of wires. https://cdn.powerequipment.honda.com/marine/pdf/manuals/31ZW5600.pdf
