Dear Boating Enthusiast,
Congratulations on your purchase of our industry-leading Evinrude E-TEC outboard! Your purchase comes with the full commitment and backing of the BRP Outboard Engine team. We know your Evinrude E-TEC outboard will provide you with years of reliable use, and we hope you will enjoy using it as much as we enjoyed designing and building this innovative product.
You can be proud you purchased an Evinrude E-TEC outboard with the following benefits.
EASY TO OWN & OPERATE
With your Evinrude E-TEC outboard there is no more time wasted in the shop. In fact, you only have to bring your Evinrude E-TEC outboard in for dealer scheduled main­tenance every 300 hours or every three years of normal recreational use. That's three trips to the shop in nine years… four trips in twelve years… five trips in fifteen years… you get the picture! And if that is not enough, with your new outboard you will have zero oil changes, absolutely no break-in period, and a simple winterization process that can be done at the boat ramp or in your driveway. We are proud of how easy we have made it for you to own this outboard. Hopefully it means you will be spending more time on the water each year.
POWER & PERFORMANCE
Evinrude E-TEC outboards have been engineered to outperform anything on the wa­ter—acceleration, top-end speed, any size, any horsepower, across the line. And for your buddies who own a four-stroke? Well, they cannot touch our power-to-weight ratio. And you can tell them that no four-stroke comes close to the pure power and torque of an Evinrude E-TEC outboard.
DURABILITY / QUALITY / RELIABILITY
Fewer parts. Fewer problems. Every Evinrude E-TEC outboard component is tested and retested for maximum performance and longer life. Parts are bigger and stronger to work harder and last longer.
CLEAN & QUIET
Evinrude E-TEC outboards are designed to comply with the strictest emissions reg­ulations. Even the sealed fuel system minimizes evaporative emissions. And thanks to the sophisticated, acoustically tuned air intake and exhaust systems, you will not be filling the air with a lot of noise either.
BRP is proud you have purchased this technology-leading Evinrude E-TEC outboard engine. We thank you for your business and wish you many years of enjoyable use.
Happy Boating,
Yves Leduc Vice President, General Manager

IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGES
This Operator’s Guide contains essential in­formation to help prevent personal injury and damage to equipment. Safety messages ap­pear throughout this Guide in the applicable section.
Be careful! Human error is caused by many factors: carelessness, fatigue, overload, pre­occupation, unfamiliarity of operator with the product, drugs and alcohol to name a few. Damage to your boat and outboard can be fixed in a short period of time, but injury or death, has a lasting effect.
WARNING
For your safety and the safety of oth­ers, follow all safety warnings and recommendations. Do not disregard any of the safety precautions and instructions.
Anyone operating your boat should first read and understand this guide before they operate your boat and outboard.
SAFETY MEASURES — General
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoy­ment and excitement of boating there are some basic rules that should be ob­served and followed by any boater. Some rules may be new to you and oth­ers may be common sense or obvious... irrespective, take them seriously!
Be sure at least one of your passengers knows how to handle your boat in case of an emergency.
Remember, gasoline fumes are flamma­ble and explosive. Always adhere to the fueling procedure contained in this Oper­ator’s Guide and those given to you by the fueling station. Always verify fuel lev­el before use and during the ride. Apply the principle of 1/3 fuel to destination, 1/ 3 back and 1/3 reserve fuel supply. Do not carry spare fuel or flammable liquids in any storage or engine compartments.
Whenever running the engine, assure there is proper ventilation to avoid the ac­cumulation of carbon monoxide (CO), which is odorless, colorless, and taste­less, and can lead to unconsciousness, brain damage, or death if inhaled in suffi­cient concentrations. CO accumulation can occur while docked, anchored, or un­derway, and in many confined areas such as the boat cabin, cockpit, swim platform, and heads. It can be worsened or caused by weather, mooring and oper­ating conditions, and other boats. Avoid exhaust fumes from your engine or other boats, provide proper ventilation, shut off your engine when not needed, and be aware of the risk of backdrafting and con­ditions that create CO accumulation. In high concentrations, CO can be fatal within minutes. Lower concentrations are just as lethal over long periods of time.
Avoid standing up or shifting weight sud­denly in light weight boats.
Keep your passengers seated in seats. The boat’s bow, gunwale, transom and seat backs are not intended for use as seats.
All passengers should know the location of emergency equipment and how to use it.
Know the marine traffic laws and obey them.
All safety equipment and personal floata­tion devices must be in good condition and suitable for your type of boat. Always comply with the regulations that apply to your boat.
Insist on the use of personal floatation devices, approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, by all passengers when boating conditions are hazardous, and by chil­dren and nonswimmers at all times.
Proceed with caution and at very low speed in shallow water. Grounding or abrupt stops may result in personal injury or property damage. Also be alert for de­bris and objects in the water.

Insist on the use of personal floatation devices, approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, by all passengers when boating conditions are hazardous, and by chil­dren and nonswimmers at all times.
Proceed with caution and at very low speed in shallow water. Grounding or abrupt stops may result in personal inju­ry or property damage. Also be alert for debris and objects in the water.
Be familiar with the waters you are oper­ating in. The gearcase of this outboard extends below the water surface and could potentially come in contact with underwater obstructions. Contact with underwater obstructions may result in loss of control and personal injury.
Respect no wake zones, rights of other water users and the environment. As the "skipper" and owner of a boat you are responsible for damage to other boats caused by the wake of your boat. Allow no one to throw refuse overboard.
Do not operate your boat if you are un­der the influence of drugs or alcohol.
High performance boats have a high power-to-weight ratio. If you are not ex­perienced in the operation of a high per­formance boat, do not attempt to operate one at, or near, its top speed un­til you have gained that experience.
Become completely familiar with the control and operation of your boat and outboard before embarking on your first trip or taking on a passenger(s). If you have not had the opportunity to do so with your Dealer, practice driving in a suitable area and feel the response of each control. Be familiar with all controls before applying the throttle above idle speed. As the operator, you are in con­trol and responsible for safe operation.
SAFETY MEASURES — Installation and Maintenance
The outboard must be correctly in­stalled. Failure to correctly install the outboard could result in serious injury, death or property damage. We strongly recommend that your Dealer install your outboard to ensure proper installation.
Do not overpower your boat by using an engine that exceeds the horsepower in­dicated on the boat’s capacity plate. Overpowering could result in loss of control. If your boat has no capacity plate, contact your Dealer or the boat’s manufacturer.
When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts with equivalent characteristics, in­cluding type, strength and material. Us­ing substandard parts could result in injury or product malfunction.
Only perform service procedures which are detailed in this Operator’s Guide. At­tempting to perform maintenance or re­pair on your outboard if you are not familiar with the correct service and safety procedure could cause personal injury or death. Further information can be obtained from your authorized Evinrude/Johnson Dealer. In many in­stances proper tools and training are re­quired for certain service or repair procedures.
Maintain your boat and engine in top condition at all times. Adhere to the Maintenance Schedule on page 37.
Operate your boat and outboard pru­dently and have fun. Do not forget that all persons must assist other boaters in case of emergency.
Prevent injury from contact with rotating propeller; remove propeller before flush­ing or before performing any mainte­nance.

OIL AND FUEL
OIL REQUIREMENTS OILING SYSTEM
Evinrude/Johnson Brand Oils
Evinrude/Johnson outboard oils are formulat­ed to give best engine performance while controlling piston and combustion chamber deposits, providing superior lubrication, and ensuring maximum spark plug life.
The following outboard oils are recommend­ed for use in your Evinrude E-TEC outboard:
Evinrude/Johnson XD100;
Evinrude/Johnson XD50; or
Evinrude/Johnson XD30.
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 Oil
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil is preferred
for your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. This synthetic formula oil provides uncompro­mised lubrication and superior performance, even in extreme conditions—especially in cold temperatures down to 0°F (-17°C).
If requested, an authorized dealer can pro­gram your Evinrude E-TEC outboard EMM for the exclusive use of Evinrude/Johnson
XD100. Only an authorized Evinrude deal- er can program your outboard for this op­tional benefit.
Oil consumption is reduced if the outboard is programmed for exclusive use of Evinrude/ Johnson XD100 as compared to using a con­ventional oil.
IMPORTANT: If your EMM has been pro­grammed for Evinrude/Johnson XD100, DO NOT use any other oil unless in an emer-
gency. If Evinrude/Johnson XD100 is tempo­rarily unavailable, a one-time-only use of an oil that meets NMMA TC-W3 certification standards is allowed. If you discontinue using Evinrude/Johnson XD100, you MUST first re­turn to your Dealer to have the EMM repro­grammed back to the original factory setting.
If the “LOW OIL” warning light illuminates, you have approximately five hours of normal operation before running out of oil. Refill the oil tank at next convenient opportunity.
Always “top off” your oil tank prior to pro­longed usage or long trips.
New outboards are programmed to use addi­tional oil during the first two hours of opera­tion above 2000 RPM.
Refer to Engine Overheating on page 29.
NOTICE
under 32°F (0°C), Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil must be used.
Always keep an extra supply of outboard oil in the boat. Refer to Oil Requirements on page
16. If you run the oil tank empty, you MUST refill
the oil tank and prime the oil system before using the engine. Refer to Filling the Oil

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Follow the instructions in this section explicitly. Improper handling of fuel could result in prop­erty damage, serious injury or death.
Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion hazard. All parts in the fuel system should be inspected frequently and replaced if signs of deterioration or leakage are found. Inspect the fuel system each time you refuel, each time you remove the engine cover and annually.
Follow these instructions to ensure safety when handing fuel:
• Always turn off the engine before fuel­ing.
• Never permit anyone other than an adult to refill the fuel tank.
• Do not fill the fuel tank all the way to the top or fuel may overflow when it ex­pands due to heating by the sun.
• Remove portable fuel tanks from the boat before fueling.
• Always wipe off any fuel spillage.
• Do not smoke, or allow open flames, or sparks or use electrical devices such as cellular phones in the vicinity of a fuel leak or while fueling.
• Always work in a well ventilated area.
NOTICE
Gasoline will oxidize; the result is loss of octane, volatile compounds, and the pro­duction of gum and varnish deposits which can degrade the fuel system.
Always use fresh gasoline.
Alcohol Fuels
Your outboard has been designed to operate using the specified fuels; however, be aware of the following:
• The boat’s fuel system may have different requirements regarding the use of alcohol fuels. Refer to the boat’s owner guide.
• Alcohol blended fuel may cause engine per­formance problems
NOTICE
moisture that can cause corrosion of metallic parts in the fuel system.
Using alcohol-extended fuels is acceptable ONLY if the alcohol content does not exceed:
• 10% ethanol by volume; or
• 5% methanol with 5% cosolvents by volume.
Alcohol attracts and holds
FUEL ADDITIVES
The only fuel additives approved for use in your Evinrude E-TEC outboard are:
Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner
Evinrude/Johnson Fuel System Cleaner
Use of other fuel additives can result in poor performance or engine damage.
Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner will help prevent gum and varnish deposits from forming in fuel system components and will remove moisture from the fuel system. It can be used continuously and should be used during any period when the outboard is not being operated on a regular basis. Its use will reduce spark plug fouling, fuel system icing, and fuel system component deterioration.
Evinrude/Johnson Fuel System Cleaner will help keep fuel injectors in optimal operating condition.
Minimum Octane
Your outboard is certified to operate on un­leaded automotive gasoline with an octane rating equal to or higher than:
• 87 (R+M)/2 AKI — Inside the U.S.
• 90 RON — Outside the U.S. Using unleaded gasoline that contains methyl
tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is acceptable ONLY if the MTBE content does not exceed 15% by volume.

FUEL SYSTEM INFORMATION
WARNING
If engine is equipped with a quick­disconnect fuel hose, you MUST disconnect the fuel hose from the engine and the fuel tank to prevent fuel leaks:
• Whenever the engine is NOT being used
• Whenever the engine is being trail­ered
• Whenever the engine is in storage
NOTE: A small amount of fuel may be released when the fuel connector is disconnected.
Store portable fuel tanks in well-ven­tilated areas, away from heat sources and open flames. Close the vent screw of the fuel tank cap, if equipped, to prevent escape of fuel or fuel vapors which could acciden­tally ignite. Do not allow discon­nected fuel hoses to leak fuel.
Fuel Connector
If equipped, disconnect fuel hose connectors from the engine’s fuel connector when the en­gine is not in use.

1. Fuel connector
IMPORTANT: Fuel distribution hoses in the boat must deliver fuel at a specific flow rate. Minimum inside diameter of fuel hoses must be 5/16 in. (7.9 mm).
Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularly those that include antisiphon valves and filter/ primer units, may have restrictions not allow­ing the engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient fuel under all conditions. This can result in a loss of performance. If a performance prob­lem exists, see your Dealer.
Fuel System Priming - Rope Start Models
If the outboard is run out of fuel, refill the fuel tank and squeeze the primer bulb until firm. Prime the electric fuel pump by first removing the emergency stop switch clip and then pull­ing the rope at least two times. This will cause the fuel pump to fill the injectors. Replace the emergency stop switch clip and follow the normal starting procedure.

Trim Angle Adjustment
WARNING
Boat stability and steering torque can vary due to changing water condi­tions. If any adverse conditions occur, reduce throttle and/or adjust tilt angle to maintain control. If you experience boat instability and/or high steering torque, see your Dealer to correct these conditions.
If the bow of the boat plows the water at high speeds, the boat may bow steer or spin suddenly, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously injuring occupants.
Trim angle adjustment is accomplished by changing the location of the tilt pin. Run the boat in the water to determine the best trim angle.
IMPORTANT: Weight distribution can affect the performance of the boat. Distribute weight evenly in the boat before adjusting trim angle.
The boat should accelerate quickly, plane easily, and run parallel to the surface of the water at high speeds.
If tilt pin is positioned too LOW the front of boat will be DOWN and push water. If tilt pin is positioned too HIGH the front of boat will be UP and bounce. To adjust the trim angle:
• Place the outboard in full TILT position. Refer to Tilt Support Bracket on page 26.
• Turn the angle adjusting rod handle up. Push in against spring so retainer will release, then slide rod assembly all the way out.
• Insert tilt pin in desire position. Make sure the tilt pin passes through both stern brackets.
• Push in against retainer to lock in place. Make sure the tilt pin assembly is locked on the stern bracket.

IMPACT DAMAGE PROTECTION
Your outboard has a shock absorption system designed to help with stand damage from im­pact with underwater objects at low to moder­ate speeds. High speed impacts with rigid underwater objects like pilings or boulders can be beyond the capability of the absorption system. Such impacts can result in serious damage to your outboard and injury to boat occupants from the outboard or its parts en­tering the boat. Occupants can also be eject­ed or injured by falling against portions of the boat as a result of rapid deceleration following impacts.
When boating in unfamiliar, shallow, or de­bris-laden waters, seek information on safe boating areas and navigation hazards from a reliable local source. Reduce your speed and keep a sharp lookout!

ENGINE OVERHEATING
X OPERATION
NOTICE
Do not run your outboard— even for a brief start-up—without supply­ing water to it. Refer to Flushing on page
38.
While boating, the outboard’s water intakes must stay completely submerged and unob­structed. Observe proper transom height and tilt angle. While the outboard is running, the outboard’s water pump indicator must dis­charge a steady stream of water. Check the indicator often, especially when operating in weeds, muddy and debris-laden water, and at extreme trim angles.
To RESET the system:
• The engine must be shut off and the cooling temperature restored.
IF the S.A.F.E. mode activates and the stream from the water pump indicator be­comes intermittent or stops, reduce speed to idle and:
1) Shift to NEUTRAL.
2) SHUT OFF the engine.
3) Tilt the outboard up.
4) Clean the intake screens of any blockage.
5) Clean the water pump indicator of any
blockage.
6) Lower the outboard.
7) Restart the engine and run at idle.
IF cleaning the screens and indicator does not restore the water pump indicator’s steady
discharge, the engine will operate only in “get home” mode. Return to harbor immediately. See your Dealer.
IF cleaning the screens and indicator does restore the water pump indicator’s steady discharge, you might have to run for two min­utes in NEUTRAL to allow the engine to cool.
1. Water intake screens
2. Water pump indicator
If the engine overheats, the S.A.F.E. (Speed Adjusting Failsafe Electronics) mode will im­mediately limit the engine’s speed to 1200 RPM. If the engine was running faster than 1200 RPM when the S.A.F.E. mode activat­ed, it will shake noticeably. The protection system must be RESET before the engine will operate at speeds over 1200 RPM. Under certain conditions the EMM will shut off the engine.
NOTICE
If cooling is not restored, the EMM will identify a progressive overheat­ing condition and shut off the engine. The engine will not restart until the engine is allowed to cool.
After any overheat causing engine shutdown, see your Dealer for:
• Inspection of the water pump for excessive
wear or damage.
• Inspection of the thermostats.
NOTICE
Although the S.A.F.E. mode can help prevent engine damage, it does not guarantee you can run your engine in­definitely without engine damage.

Anti-Corrosion Anodes
Your outboard is equipped with one or more anodes that protect it from galvanic corrosion. Disintegration of the anode is normal and in­dicates it is working. Check each anode peri­odically. Replace anodes smaller than 2/3 their original size. Additional anodes may be required depending on engine application and
WEEDY WATER
Weeds block water intakes and may cause your outboard to overheat. Weeds on the pro­peller create vibration and reduce boat speed.
When operating in weedy water, run at slow speeds and in REVERSE frequently to clear weeds from the propeller and water intakes. Check the water pump indicator often.
If REVERSE operation does not clear away weeds, SHUT OFF the engine. Remove weeds from propeller area and water intakes before operating at higher speed.

ENGINE EMISSIONS INFORMATION
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and systems may be performed by any marine SI (spark ignition) engine repair establishments or individual.
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year outboards, manufacturers of marine engines must deter­mine the exhaust emission levels for each en­gine horsepower family and certify these outboards with the United States of America Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An emissions control information label, showing emission levels and engine specifications, must be placed on each outboard at the time of manufacture.
Dealer’s Responsibility
When performing service on all 1999 and more recent Evinrude outboards that carry an emissions control information label, adjust­ments must be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission relat­ed component must be executed in a manner that maintains emission levels within the pre­scribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the outboard in any manner that would alter the horsepower or al­low emission levels to exceed their predeter­mined factory specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer’s prescribed changes, such as altitude adjustments, for ex­ample.
Owner Responsibility
EPA Emission Regulations
All new 1999 and more recent Evinrude out­boards manufactured by BRP are certified to the EPA as conforming to the requirements of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new watercraft marine spark ignition en­gines. This certification is contingent on cer­tain adjustments being set to factory standards. For this reason, the factory proce­dure for servicing the product must be strictly followed and, whenever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design. The re­sponsibilities listed above are general and in no way a complete listing of the rules and reg­ulations pertaining to the EPA requirements on exhaust emissions for marine products. For more detailed information on this subject, you may contact the following locations:

DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate ventilation or per­mit exhaust fumes to accumulate in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain damage or death.
You must protect against natural environmen­tal conditions that can be damaging to an out­board. Your warranty does not cover engine failure caused by these conditions.
NOTICE
changes during storage period can cause corrosion of internal engine components.
Temperature and humidity
If the outboard is laid down for transportation or storage, the oiling system must be primed before reusing the outboard. Refer to Prim- ing the Oil System on page 16. Then per­form Long-Term Storage (Winterization) to prime the oiling system.
LONG-TERM STORAGE (WINTERIZATION)
WARNING
Outboard must be in NEUTRAL before performing winterization. Starting outboard in gear can cause personal injury.
Winterization prepares your outboard for long-term off-season storage. During winter­ization, the engine is “fogged” and extra oil is used to coat internal engine components. Re­fer to Long-Term Storage (Winterization) on page 40.
Stabilize the fuel supply. Fuel remaining in your fuel tank can oxidize, resulting in loss of octane and fuel system deposits.
Use Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner to prevent gum and varnish deposits from forming in fuel system components. Refer to
Operation on page 20.
WARNING
Prevent injury from moving engine components. Before starting the outboard:
• Shift it to NEUTRAL.
• Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of powerhead.
• Remove the propeller.
If winterizing on a trailer, the propel­ler must be removed before per­forming procedure. Failure to remove propeller can cause per­sonal injury or death.

Winterization prepares your outboard for long-term off-season storage. During winter­ization, the engine is “fogged” and extra oil is used to coat internal engine components.
Winterization requires a specific process of steps.
You can confirm your outboard enters winter­ization mode when the engine runs at fast idle and:
• The SystemCheck gauge lights flash (if equipped).
• The I-Command gauge displays winteriza­tion message (if equipped).

Preparation
Your outboard can be winterized in the water. If winterizing in water, make sure the water intake screens are completely submerged.
Page 43
X STORAGE
1) Stabilize the engine’s fuel supply. Add 2+4 Fuel Conditioner following instructions on
container. Fill fuel tank.
2) If winterizing on a trailer, remove the pro­peller. Attach a garden hose to flushing port and turn on the water. Refer to Flush- ing on page 38.
3) Outboard must be in NEUTRAL, and shift linkage must be in NEUTRAL position at all times during winterization procedure.
Tiller Control Outboards
1) Advance throttle grip to HALF THROTTLE position. Start the outboard. Outboard runs at slow idle speed.
Tiller Control – Typical
2) After outboard runs for about 15 seconds, move throttle grip to IDLE position. Out­board continues to run at slow idle speed.
Winterization is complete when outboard shuts itself off.
If the outboard DOES NOT shut itself off, you may not have properly advanced throttle grip.
If the engine exceeds 3000 RPM, the out­board may have been shifted into gear.
In either event, immediately press STOP button to turn outboard OFF and re-start the procedure.
After Winterization
1) After the outboard shuts itself off, remove emergency stop clip / key switch. Do not start the outboard again after winterization is completed.
2) If winterizing on a trailer, turn off water and detach garden hose. Grease propeller shaft splines with recommended lubricant, and re-install propeller.
NOTICE
leave the outboard in vertical position long enough to completely drain the pow­erhead. If equipped, disconnect the speedometer pickup at the upper connec­tion and blow all water out of the hose using air pressure of 25 psi or less. Reconnect speedometer pickup after all the water has been removed.
When winterizing is finished,
3) After outboard runs for another 15 sec­onds, advance throttle grip to HALF THROTTLE position. Outboard will accel­erate to fast idle speed and fog itself.
4) Allow outboard to run until it shuts itself OFF automatically (less than one minute).
3) Top off oil tank.
Extra engine oil is used during the winteriza­tion procedure. Some excess oil may appear on the skeg below the gearcase area. This is
normal.
Avoid potential oil stains by placing a shop towel or suitable container under the propel­ler and skeg for the duration of the storage.

Maintenance
PRE-SEASON CHECK
Prepare your outboard for a season of reliable service by performing a general check and a few preventive maintenance procedures.
Examine all loosened or removed hardware. Replace damaged or missing parts with Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or equiva­lent. Check the gearcase for leakage. If leak­age is evident, the gearcase seals should be replaced. See your Dealer.
IMPORTANT: Gearcase lubricant is thick and clear. Do not confuse this with engine oil,
which may normally appear on the skeg after performing the long-term (winterization) stor­age procedure.
Anticorrosion anodes — Check condition. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Anodes on page
30.
Battery — Charge fully.
WARNING
Failure to check for fuel leakage could allow a leak to go undetected, resulting in fire or explosion.
WARNING
Do not use a booster battery and jumper cables to start the outboard. Gasoline fumes can cause explo­sion and fire, resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
Review your outboard’s warning system self­test routine. During your preseason start-up, make sure the warning system self-tests properly. If it does not, see your Dealer.
NOTICE
even for a brief start-up—without supply­ing water to it.
Following Operation on page 20, start the outboard. If the outboard was auto-winter­ized, it will smoke for a short time after the first start of the season.
Let engine idle and observe running quality. If poor, refer to Troubleshooting on page 43 or see your Dealer.
Let engine idle and confirm water pump oper­ation. Water must flow from the water pump indicator in a steady stream. If it does not, shut off the outboard and investigate. Refer to Emergency Stop Switch on page 20.
Stop the outboard and check the fuel system for leaks.
Do not run your outboard—

INSTALLATION
WARNING
Your outboard must not exceed the maximum horsepower indicated on the boat’s capacity plate. Such over­powering can cause loss of control. Contact your Dealer or the boat’s manufacturer if your boat lacks a capacity plate.
Boats designed for remote-steered outboards might be overpowered by a tiller-steered outboard of the maxi­mum rated horsepower. Ask your Dealer or boat manufacturer if you are unsure about your boat’s suit­ability.
TRANSOM HEIGHT
Make sure the transom height matches the length of the outboard to be installed.
• A 19 to 21 in. (48.3 to 53.3 cm) transom height uses a 20 in. (50.8 cm) shaft out­board.
• The shaft length of the outboard being in­stalled should come close to matching the transom height of the boat.
Determine transom height by measuring from the top edge of the transom, along the center­line.
Incorrectly matched boat and out­board transom heights can cause boat instability and loss of control. Refer to
Transom Height.
Prevent lateral movement and pos­sible outboard loss by using the mounting hardware supplied or hardware of sufficient size, strength, and quality. Refer to
ing the Outboard
on page 47.
Install-
A mounting surface that is damaged or too thin to support your outboard while underway might fail during operation, causing a loss of control. Be sure the boat’s transom or mounting bracket is structurally sound and between 1 5/8 in. (41 mm) and 2 3/4 in. (70 mm) in thickness.

Boat performance depends on outboard mounting height.
Generally, the anti-ventilation plate of the gearcase should align with the bottom of the hull. Conventional V-hulls often perform well with the anti-ventilation plate approximately 1 in. (25 mm) above the bottom of the hull.
Test outboard and boat performance at differ­ent heights until the best performance is achieved.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that outboard water pressure is not adversely affected by the mounting height of the outboard.

INSTALLING THE OUTBOARD
WARNING
The outboard must be correctly installed. Failure to correctly install the outboard could result in serious injury, death or property damage. We strongly recommend that your Dealer install your outboard to ensure proper installation.
IMPORTANT: Follow all directions carefully.
Use appropriate service manual for complete installation procedures. The outboard’s war­ranty will not cover product damage or failure that results from incorrect outboard installa­tion.
WARNING
Even if equipped with clamp screws, your outboard must be bolted to the boat to prevent it from “working off the transom” during operation.
Use the supplied Transom Mounting Kit to se­curely mount the outboard. The kit includes a transom mounting plate and hardware for fas­tening outboard to transom.

Repair
If your propeller hits a solid object, the impact is partially absorbed by the rubber bushing in the hub to help prevent damage to the out­board. A strong impact can damage the hub and propeller blades. Damage to blades can cause unusual and excessive vibration. Dam­age to the hub can cause excessive engine RPM with little forward movement.

ADJUSTMENTS
IDLE RPM IN GEAR
The idle RPM in gear setting can be adjusted, if desired, to provide more idle control, steer­ing, and quietness in certain applications.
IMPORTANT: Only your Dealer can adjust the idle RPM in gear setting.
TRIM TAB
WARNING
Improper trim tab adjustment can cause difficult steering.
A propeller will generate steering torque when the propeller shaft is not running parallel to the water’s surface. The trim tab is adjustable to compensate for this steering torque.
IMPORTANT: A single trim tab adjustment will relieve steering effort under only one set of speed, outboard angle and load conditions. No single adjustment can relieve steering ef­fort under all speed, outboard angle and load conditions. If the boat pulls to the left or right when its load is evenly distributed, adjust the trim tab as follows:
With the outboard shut OFF, loosen the trim tab screw. If the boat pulled to the right, move the rear of the trim tab slightly to the right. If the boat pulled to the left, move the rear of the trim tab slightly to the left.
High outboard installations — The trim tab might be above the water when the out­board is trimmed out. Steering effort might in­crease. Steering effort will be reduced if you trim the outboard in and submerge the trim tab.
FRICTION

2
1. Throttle friction screw
2. Steering friction screw
Tighten the trim tab screw to a torque of 35-40 ft. lbs. (47-54 N·m). Test the boat and, if need­ed, repeat the procedure until steering effort is as equal as possible.
50
Throttle Friction — Adjust until a slight drag is felt when accelerating or decelerating only. DO NOT overtighten.
Steering Friction — The steering friction was set on your outboard at the factory. A slight drag should be felt when turning the out­board with the steering handle. If adjustment is necessary, turn the adjustment screw:
• Clockwise to increase friction; or
• Counterclockwise to decrease friction.
WARNING
DO NOT overtighten for “hands-off” steering. Reduced steering control could result.

X CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATION
The California Air Resources Board and Bombardier Recreational Products (“BRP”) are pleased to explain the emission control system warranty on your 2011 Evinrude E-TEC outboard. In California, new outboard engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. BRP must warrant the emission control system on your outboard for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your outboard.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, BRP will repair your outboard at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts, and labor provided that such work is performed by an authorized BRP dealer.
Manufacturer's Limited Warranty Coverage
This emission limited warranty covers Evinrude outboards certified and produced by BRP for sale in California, that are originally sold in California to a California resident, or subsequently warranty-registered to a California resident. The BRP U.S. and Canada limited warranty conditions for Evinrude outboards are still applicable to these models with the neces- sary modifications.
Select emission control parts of your Evinrude E-TEC outboard are warranted from the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or the date the product is first put to use, whichever occurs first, for a period of: 4 years, or for 250 hours of use, whichever occurs first.
However, warranty coverage based on the hourly period is only permitted for outboards equipped with the appropriate hour meters or their equivalent. If any emission-related part on your engine is defective under warranty, the part will be repaired or replaced by BRP.
Parts covered are:
1. Electrical System 4. Air Induction System
A. EMM (Engine Management Module) A. Reed Valves B. Spark Plugs and Wires B. Throttle Body Assembly C. Ignition Coils C. Intake Manifold D. Wiring Harness
5. Oil System
2. Exhaust System

7. Gaskets
A. All Emission Component Gaskets
The emission warranty covers damage to other engine components that is caused by the failure of a warranted part. The BRP Operator's Guide provided contains written instructions for the proper maintenance and use of your outboard.
All emission warranty parts are warranted by BRP for the entire warranty period of the outboard, unless the part is sched­uled for replacement as required maintenance in the Operator's Guide.
Emission warranty parts that are scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance, are warranted by BRP for the pe­riod of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. Emission warranty parts that are scheduled for reg­ular inspection but not regular replacement are warranted by BRP for the entire warranty period of the outboard. Any emission warranty part repaired or replaced under the terms of this warranty statement is warranted by BRP for the re­mainder of the warranty period of the original part. All parts replaced under this limited warranty become the property of BRP.
Maintenance receipts and records should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the outboard.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the outboard owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operator's Guide. BRP recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your outboard, but BRP cannot deny war­ranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the outboard owner, you should however be aware that BRP may deny you warranty coverage if your outboard or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your outboard to an authorized BRP dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
For any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities or for the name and location of the nearest autho­rized BRP dealer, contact BRP US Inc. / Outboard Engines Division, After Sales Support, P.O Box 597, Sturtevant, WI 53177, 1-847-689-7090 or visit www.evinrude.com.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No dealer-scheduled maintenance for the first three years of normal recreational use? Really?
• Yes! BRP knows you want to spend your time out on the water, not servicing your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. There are no valves to adjust, belts to service, chains to replace, or oil to
change. We do recommend pre-launch inspections of your outboard at each use and at reg­ular intervals. Salt water applications require minimal additional inspections and lubrication.
What fuel octane is recommended for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
Evinrude E-TEC outboards require a minimum octane of 87 (U.S.). Use of higher octane fu­els is not harmful, but also not necessary.
What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC outboard require?
• Any TC-W3RL oil may be used. The outboard can be programmed by your Dealer to run on Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil for lower oil consumption and reduced operating cost. Refer to Filling the Oil Tank on page 17; see also Oil Requirements on page 16.
Do I need to mix oil into my fuel?
•No. Evinrude E-TEC outboards do not require any mixing of oil and fuel.
Where should I take my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for service?
• For repairs covered under warranty, you must take your Evinrude E-TEC outboard to an au­thorized dealer. BRP-approved dealers and distributors have received the necessary train­ing to properly service your outboard. Contact BRP for an authorized Evinrude E-TEC dealer near you.
Can I order replacement parts and accessories for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts with equivalent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. Using substandard parts could result in injury or product malfunction. Your dealer can order the parts and ac­cessories you desire.
Do I need to complete any paperwork when I move or sell my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Yes. In order to maintain contact with you or the new Evinrude E-TEC owner, BRP requests you complete the form outlining Change of Address / Change of Ownership on page 67. This will ensure you or the new owner is made aware of any product announcements and keep the warranty coverage up-to-date.
What do I need to do before storing my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the winter?
• Winterization is minimal. Refer to Storage on page 40 for step-by-step instructions to store your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the off-season.
