Dear New Evinrude E-TEC Owner,
Congratulations on the purchase of our industry-leading Evinrude E-TEC outboard
engine. Your purchase comes with the full commitment and support of the BRP Outboard team. Your new engine will provide you with years of reliable enjoyment.
The many benefits of the Evinrude E-TEC engine will add hours of fun for you and
your family and your time on the water…
Power and performance…
An Evinrude E-TEC engine is up to 300 pounds lighter than competitive outboard en-
gines. This translates to faster planing with less bow rise so you can see the open
water in front of you. You demand performance and immediate response. That’s
why instant throttle response and hole shot are so important. The key with Evinrude
E-TEC is that every revolution is a power stroke. That means twice the power
strokes of a 4-stroke. Plus the computer-controlled engine management system delivers the perfect fuel mix directly to the combustion chamber for hair-trigger response. The natural 2-stroke advantage combined with our super-natural fuelinjection and combustion system means that you will gain up to 23% more torque
than a comparable 4-stroke outboard engine. Simply stated – more torque, instant
throttle response, less weight, and more power – Evinrude E-TEC will deliver.
In addition, Evinrude E-TEC engines require no dealer scheduled maintenance for
three years or 300 hours. No inspections or adjustments, no changing gearcase
lube, no spring tune-ups – for a full three years, then every three years after that.
This means more time on the water for you and your family.
History & heritage…
Evinrude outboard engines are manufactured in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, in a state-ofthe-art manufacturing facility that is less than 30 miles away from where Ole
Evinrude invented the first outboard engine more than 100 years ago. One hundred
years of life on the water…and counting. And, Evinrude is part of the BRP family of
products; inclusively, over 200 years of heritage. Powerful brands including legendary names such as Ski-Doo
boats, and Can-Am
®
off-road and on-road products. No other company is able to
®
snowmobiles, Sea-Doo® personal watercraft and
leverage all of their brands in such an effective way to bring consumers the most innovative and expertly engineered products. Only BRP does this.
Thank you again for your confidence in Evinrude E-TEC engines. As you enjoy your
time on the water, we'd love to hear from you online and encourage you to share your
Evinrude E-TEC pictures. Visit us on Facebook www.facebook.com/BRPEvinrude

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.
A 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, enjoy-
–
ment 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.
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 floata-
–
tion devices must be in good condition
and suitable for your type of boat. Always
comply with the regulations that apply to
your boat.
Remember, gasoline fumes are flamma-
–
ble 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 sud-
–
denly 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.
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.
7
Page 10
Be familiar with the waters you are oper-
–
ating 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 con-
–
trol 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 53.
Operate your boat and outboard pru-
–
dently 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.

NOTICE
OIL REQUIREMENTS
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. The XD100 oil setting is not available on all models.
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.
OILING SYSTEM INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: The oiling system must be
primed on new outboards. Refer to Priming
the Oil System on page 20.
If a “LOW OIL” warning occurs, you have a
limited amount of time of normal operation before running out of oil. Refill the oil tank with
approved oil as soon as possible.
Refer to Engine Monitoring on page 43.
Check the oil tank level frequently. 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.
When operating in conditions
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
19.
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 20 and Priming the Oil System on page 20.
Other Oils
If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not available, you must use an oil that meets NMMA
TC-W3 certification standards.
Failure to follow oil specifications could void
the engine warranty if a lubrication-related
failure occurs.

IMPORTANT: The oil tank capacity is 1.5
quarts (1.4 liters).
PRIMING THE OIL SYSTEM
The oiling system MUST be
primed to avoid engine damage from a
lack of lubrication.
Prime the oiling system to remove air from the
system before operating the outboard if:
• The outboard is new – Dealer must prime
the oiling system using Evinrude Diagnostic
software;
• The oil tank is emptied or outboard is run out
of oil;
• The outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage.
Prime the oiling system by performing winterization. Refer to Long-Term Storage (Win-
terization) on page 58.

OIL AND FUEL
NOTICE
NOTICE
NOTICE
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
A 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.
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.
Recommended Fuel
Use unleaded gasoline with the following octane rating.:
Inside North America 87 (R+M)/2 AKI
Outside North
fuels. Do not use fuel containing more
than 10% ethanol. The use of non-recommended fuel can result in loss of performance and damage to critical parts in the
fuel system and engine.
Using unleaded gasoline that contains methyl
tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) is acceptable
ONLY if the MTBE content does not exceed
15% by volume.
Always use fresh gasoline.
Minimum Octane Rating
America
Never experiment with other
90 RON
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.
Alcohol attracts and holds
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.
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.

FUEL SYSTEM INFORMATION
A WARNING
If engine is equipped with a quick-disconnect 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
A small amount of fuel may be released
when the fuel connector is disconnected.
Always wipe off any fuel spillage.
Store portable fuel tanks in well-venti-
lated 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.
In the United States, the U.S. EPA requires
"low permeability" fuel hose, fuel primer
bulbs, portable fuel tanks and fuel caps to be
used with outboard engines.
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 Connector
If equipped, disconnect fuel hose connectors
from the engine’s fuel connector when the engine is not in use.
1. Fuel connector
007004
Fuel System Priming
If the outboard is run out of fuel, refill the fuel
tank and squeeze the primer bulb until firm.
Rope Start Models
Prime the electric fuel pump by first removing
the engine cut–off switch clip and then pulling
the rope at least two times. This will cause the
fuel pump to fill the injectors. Replace the engine cut–off switch clip and follow the normal
starting procedure.
Fuel Filters
A boat-mounted water-separating fuel filter
assembly will help prevent water and other
contaminants from entering the engine fuel
system.
Use of a boat mounted water-separating fuel
filter is highly recommended on all boats.
Boat-mounted water-separating fuel filter assemblies must meet the required fuel flow and
filter specification. Refer to Boat-Mounted
Fuel Filters on page 66.

A 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

POWER TRIM AND TILT MODELS
A WARNING
Any malfunction of the power trim and tilt unit could result in loss of shock absorber
protection if an underwater obstruction is hit. Malfunction can also result in loss of
reverse thrust capability.
Correct fluid level must be maintained to ensure operation of the impact protection
on this unit.
When operating in rough water or crossing a wake, excessive bow-up trim may result
in the boat’s bow suddenly rising skyward, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously
injuring occupants.
Some boat/outboard/propeller combinations may encounter boat instability and/or
high steering torque when operated at high speed at or near the outboard’s trim
range limits (full bow-up or bow-down). Boat stability and steering torque can also
vary due to changing water conditions. If any adverse conditions occur, reduce throttle and/or adjust trim angle to maintain control. If you experience boat instability and/
or high steering torque, see your Dealer to correct these conditions.
Some boats plow, or are difficult to plane, when operated in the trim’s lowest position. If your
boat handles unsuitably when trimmed fully bow-down, adjust transom angle or limit the travel
of the power trim.

IMPACT DAMAGE PROTECTION
Your outboard has a shock absorption system
designed to help withstand 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.
007021
The outboard’s shock absorption system does not work while operating in reverse. If you back into an object,
either in the water or while trailering, your
boat and outboard can be seriously damaged.
DR4412
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.
A WARNING
Failure to inspect for damage after an
accident or striking an object could
result in sudden, unexpected component
failure, loss of boat control, and personal
injury. Unrepaired damage could reduce
your boat and outboard’s ability to resist
future impacts.

S.A.F.E. ENGINE SYSTEM
This outboard is equipped with Speed Adjusting Failsafe Electronics (S.A.F.E.).
S.A.F.E. is an engine warning system controlled by the Engine Management Module
(EMM). The EMM monitors engine sensors. If
conditions which could cause permanent engine damage exist, the EMM limits engine
speed to 1200 RPM.
If engine is in S.A.F.E. mode, the outboard will
shake noticeably when accelerated above
1200 RPM.
For additional protection during severe operating conditions the EMM will shut OFF the
engine.
A WARNING
In the S.A.F.E. mode, the engine speed is
limited. Under certain conditions, the
engine’s limited speed may reduce
maneuverability of your boat.
If the S.A.F.E. mode is activated and you
are unable to correct the problem, seek
assistance and/or return to safe harbor.
Serious engine damage, engine shutoff,
and/or reduced maneuverability may be
imminent.
The EMM activates S.A.F.E. mode for:
• NO OIL warning; indicates a nearly empty
oil tank. Refer to Filling the Oil Tank and
Priming the Oil System on page 20.
• OVERHEAT warning; indicates an engine
or EMM overheat condition. Refer to En-
gine Overheating on page 43.
• FAULT warning; indicates a problem exists.
The EMM has identified a problem with the
outboard. Seek assistance and/or return to
harbor immediately. See your Dealer.
ENGINE OVERHEATING
even for a brief start-up—without supplying water to it. Refer to Flushing on page
54.
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.
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.
To RESET the system after an overheat:
• 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.
Do not run your outboard—

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 re-
store the water pump indicator’s steady discharge, you might have to run for two minutes
in NEUTRAL to allow the engine to cool.
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 thermostat(s).
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.
Diagnostic LEDs
The Engine Management Module (EMM) has
four LED indicators located on the top corner
of the circuit board.
The LEDs provide quick reference to the status of several outboard systems.
The LEDs can be used to identify specific
warning functions of S.A.F.E. mode activation
without ending a day on the water.
IMPORTANT: LED 1 is closest to the center
of the EMM.
To view the LEDs the engine cover must be
removed. Refer to Filling the Oil Tank on
page 20.
A WARNING
The engine cover and flywheel guard are

SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
COLD AND FREEZING WEATHER
When operating in conditions
under 32°F (0°C), Evinrude/Johnson
XD100 oil, must be used.
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
system is drained. Store the outboard vertically.
If the outboard’s gearcase is equipped with an
integral speedometer pickup, all water must
be cleared from the hose to prevent gearcase
damage. Refer to Transporting / Storage on
page 48.
Water remaining in the gearcase, cooling system or other components can freeze, causing serious engine
damage.
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.
SALT WATER
Anode protection for the outboard has been
provided for use in salt or brackish water.
Upon removal from salt water, leave outboard
in a vertical position until its cooling system
has drained. During long periods of mooring,
tilt the gearcase out of the water, except in
freezing temperatures. Flush the outboard, if
desired. Refer to Flushing on page 54.

Maintenance
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
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
product warranty.
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

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. See your Dealer for replacements.
1. Anti-corrosion anode
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.
NEVER paint the anode, its
fasteners, or its mounting surface. Painting will reduce its corrosion protection.

FLUSHING
Flush the outboard with fresh water following
use in brackish, salt or polluted water to minimize the accumulation of scale and silt deposits in cooling system passages. The outboard
can be flushed on the trailer or at dockside.
Place outboard in vertical (down) position in a
well ventilated area.

FUSE
On outboards equipped with an accessory
electric starter, a blown fuse will not allow
the engine to start. Replace it with a fuse of
the same rating. A spare fuse is provided.
Repeated fuse failures indicate a potentially
serious problem. Do not replace it with higher
rated fuse; see your Dealer for service.
In an emergency, the engine may be ropestarted and run, this will not harm the engine.
Fuse Replacement
Use only fuses of the same
rating. Your Evinrude E-TEC outboard
uses 10-amp fuses.
Remove engine cover. Install spare fuse in
place of failed fuse.

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
place when washing the outboard.
When trailering your outboard, DO NOT cover the engine with canvas—it will dull the finish of the
outboard’s engine covers.
SCRATCH REPAIR
Surface scratches on the upper and lower engine covers can be polished out with buffing
compound.
Treat affected areas using these steps:
1) Sand the affected area with 800-grit sand-
paper.
2) Wet sand the area with 1200-grit sandpa-
per.
3) Using a composite material buffing com-

SUBMERGED OUTBOARD
If your outboard has been under water, have
it serviced immediately upon recovery. If
immediate service is unavailable, resubmerge it in fresh water to avoid prolonged exposure to the atmosphere.
After submersion, all boat and engine electrical, fuel, and oiling systems must be inspected for signs of water intrusion. Your Dealer
should perform this service.
Page 59
STORAGE
NOTICE
A WARNING
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.
Temperature and humidity
changes during storage period can cause
corrosion of internal engine components.
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 58.
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 24.
A 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.
A WARNING
If engine is equipped with a quick-disconnect 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 fuel tanks in well-ventilated areas,
away from heat sources and open
flames.
Prevent escape of fuel or fuel vapors
which could accidentally ignite.
Close the vent screw of the fuel tank cap
(if equipped).
Do not allow disconnected fuel hoses to
leak fuel.
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 20.
SHORT-TERM STORAGE
(BETWEEN USES)
If you must tilt the outboard to remove it from
the water, lower it and allow the cooling system to drain completely as soon as you clear
the launch area. Between uses, store your
outboard in a vertical position.

A 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 tillersteered outboard of the maximum rated
horsepower. Ask your Dealer or boat
manufacturer if you are unsure about
your boat’s suitability.
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
Installing the Outboard on page 65.
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.
Use an appropriate hoist to lift
the engine. Refer to Specifications on
page 70 for engine weight.
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.
• Refer to Specifications on page 70 for
transom height.
Determine transom height by measuring from
the top edge of the transom, along the centerline.
1. Centerline
2. Antiventilation plate
3. Transom Height
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.
The anti-ventilation plate should NOT extend
more than 2 in. (5 cm) BELOW 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.

unusual and excessive vibration. Damage to
the hub can cause excessive engine RPM
with little forward movement.
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

Trim Tab
A 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.
Friction
Throttle Friction — Adjust until a slight
drag is felt when accelerating or decelerating
only. DO NOT overtighten.
1. Throttle friction screw
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.
007041
1. Trim tab screw
Tighten the trim tab screw to a torque of 60-84
in. lbs. (7-9 N·m).
Test the boat and, if needed, repeat the procedure until steering effort is as equal as possible.
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.
007044
1. Steering friction lever
007042
A WARNING
DO NOT overtighten for “hands-off”
steering. Reduced steering control could
result.

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 2012 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

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.

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 20; see also Oil Requirements on page 19.
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 85.
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 57 for step-by-step instructions to store
your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the off-season.
