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

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.

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.

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/JohnsonXD100 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/JohnsonXD100, 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
Tank on page 17 and Priming the Oil System on page 16.
When operating in conditions
Priming the Oil System
The oiling system MUST be primed before
using the outboard if:
• The outboard is new (Oil system MUST be
primed);
• You run completely out of oil; or
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
Prime the oiling system by performing Long-Term Storage (Winterization) on page 40.
Other Oils
If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not available, you must use an oil that meets NMMA
TC-W3 certification standards.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow oil specifications could void the engine warranty if a lubrication-related failure occurs.

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.

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.

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

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!
IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT covered by the outboard warranty.
boat and outboard can be seriously damaged.
If you hit any object:
• STOP immediately and examine the outboard for loosening of attaching hardware.
• INSPECT for damage to swivel and stern
brackets, and steering components.
• EXAMINE the boat for structural damage.
• TIGHTEN any loosened hardware.
If the collision occurred in the water, proceed
slowly to harbor. Before boating again, have
your Dealer thoroughly inspect all components.

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.

environmental conditions. See your Dealer for
replacement anodes.
Galvanic corrosion destroys underwater metal parts and can occur in fresh or salt water;
however, salt, brackish, and polluted waters
will accelerate corrosion.
Metal-based antifouling paint on the boat or
outboard and the use of improperly installed
shore power in the area of your moored boat
will also accelerate corrosion.
IMPORTANT: NEVER paint the anode, its
fasteners, or its mounting surface. Painting
will reduce its corrosion protection.
1. Tilt tube lubrication points (annually)
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.
SHALLOW WATER
Gearcase damage can occur if the gearcase
is allowed to drag on the waterway bottom.
Use caution when operating in shallow water.
Impact damage is NOT covered by the outboard warranty.

Should you require a tow from another boat:
• Shift your engine to NEUTRAL;
• Tilt its gearcase out of the water;
• Off-load all persons into another boat; and
• Keep speed slower than planing speed.
DUAL OUTBOARD OPERATION
When in reverse above slow speed, be sure
both outboards are running, even if one is in
NEUTRAL.
If it is necessary to return to harbor with one
outboard not running, tilt the inoperative outboard high enough to keep its propeller out of
the water.

HIGH ALTITUDE
Your outboard’s EMM will automatically compensate for changes in altitude. However, if
you boat above 3000 ft. (900 m), you will experience a slight loss of power due to reduced
air density.
If your engine drops below the recommended
RPM operating range at full throttle, have your
Dealer select a lower pitch propeller.
If you return to sea level, have your Dealer install the original propeller and verify correct
RPM operating range.
During operation in freezing weather, keep
the gearcase submerged at all times.
Upon removing your outboard from the water,
leave it in a vertical position until its cooling

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.

The owner/operator is required to have engine maintenance performed to maintain
emission levels within prescribed certification
standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and should not
allow anyone to, modify the engine in any
manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.
Tampering with the fuel system to change
horsepower or modify emission levels beyond
factory settings or specifications will void the

SERVICE TIPS
FLUSHING
If desired, the outboard can be flushed after
each use on a trailer or at dockside while it is
vertical.
1) Place the outboard in an area with good
drainage.
2) Connect garden hose to flushing port.
3) Turn on the water. It is not necessary to
run the engine for a good flushing.
OUTBOARD EXTERNAL FINISH
Your outboard’s upper and lower engine covers use molded-in color technology, providing a deep, durable gloss with maximum
ultraviolet (sunlight) protection.
The high gloss finish will show polish marks
when viewed closely in certain light conditions. This glossing is NORMAL.
Periodically, wash the entire boat and outboard with soapy water and apply a coat of
automotive wax. Leave the engine cover in

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

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

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.

the bottom of the outboard stern brackets.
Mounting RL Models
Center the outboard on the transom (or
mounting bracket) and tighten clamp screws
by hand.
Use the outboard stern brackets as a template for location and size of holes to drill in
the transom.
Use each stern bracket’s mounting holes as a
guide to drill four 11/32 in. (8.7 mm) holes
through the transom.

WATER PRESSURE
An optional water pressure gauge is recommended to monitor cooling system pressures.
Noticing changes in water pressure can help
prevent engine overheating. The water pressure gauge must be connected at the correct
point to ensure the most accurate pressure
readings. Follow the installation instructions
included with the water pressure gauge.
WARNING
When servicing the propeller,
always shift the outboard to NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch
OFF, and twist and remove all spark
plug wires so the outboard cannot
be started accidentally.

WARNING
Be alert of people in the water.
Always shift the outboard to NEUTRAL and shut off the engine immediately when your boat is in an area
where there might be people in the
water. Serious injury or death can
result from contacting a rotating
propeller or moving boat and outboard.

Install keeper on propeller nut, align keeper
slots and cotter pin hole.
Install new cotter pin and bend ends to secure.
Remove block of wood. Make sure engine is
in NEUTRAL; give propeller a spin. It must
turn freely.
Apply Triple-Guard grease to
To select the correct propeller for your boating
application, your boat and outboard MUST be
water tested. See your Dealer for assistance.
IMPORTANT: The correct propeller for your
boat, under normal load conditions, will allow
the engine to run near the midpoint of the
RPM operating range at full throttle. Refer to
Specifications on page 51.

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.
X ACCESSORIES
NOTICE
Avoid or limit operation using
a damaged propeller. Carry a spare propeller.
Keep your propeller in good condition. Use a
file to smooth slight damage to blade edges.
See your Dealer for repair of serious damage.

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
1
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.

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/JohnsonXD100 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.
