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-contro lled 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 ar e manufactured in Sturtevan t, 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 onlin e and encourage you to share your Evinrude E-TEC pictures.

ABOUT THIS GUIDE

CAUTION

NOTICE

This Operator’s Guide is an essential part of your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. It contains pertinent information which, if followed, will provide you with a thorough understanding needed for proper operation, maintenance, care, and—above all—safety. Safety is our first priority and it should be yours too. It is strongly recommended you read this Guide from cover to cover. The more you know and understand about your Evinrude E-TEC outboard, the greater the safety and pleasure you will get from using it. Following this recommendation will assure the completeness of the information essential to your safety, the safety of any passengers, and other water users.

This Operator’s Guide identifies important safety messages.

Although the mere reading of such information does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding and application of the information will promote the correct use of your outboard engine.

Safety Alert Symbol

This is the Safety Alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

This Guide should be kept in a waterproof bag with the outboard at all times during operation. If the product ownership is transferred, this Guide should be forwarded to the new owners.

A responsible, educated boater will fully appreciate the pleasures of boating and will be a safe boater. Boating Safety Classes are conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the U.S. Power Squadron and some Red Cross Chapters. For information about classes, call toll free 1-800-336-BOAT.

For additional information about boating safety and regulations, call:

• U.S. Coast Guard Boating Safety Hotline 1-800-368-5647.

Outside North America please contact your Dealer or distributor for details about boating safety.

This Operator’s Guide uses the following signal words identifying important safety messages.

A DANGER

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

A WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in dea th or se rious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

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 th e 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.

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 45.

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.

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

The oiling system must be primed on new outboards. Refer to Priming the Oil System on page 17.

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 35. 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

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 17.

Other Oils

If Evinrude/Johnson brand oils are not avail- able, 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.

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.

Use 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

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

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.

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 3/8 in. (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 Hose Connections

1) If the fuel hose is disconnected for any reason, seal it to prevent spillage. Cap the fuel fitting to prevent contamination.

2) Connect the fuel hose to the 3/8 in. (9 mm) fuel fitting. Fasten hose securely with clamp (18.5 mm) from owner’s kit.

3) Squeeze fuel primer bulb, outlet end up, until firm.

OPERATION

NOTICE

SAFETY INFORMATION ENGINE STARTING / STOPPING

A DANGER

Serious injury or death can result from contact with a rotating propeller or moving boat and outboard.

Propeller blades can be sharp and the propeller can continue to turn even after the engine is off.

Assure the engine and prop area is clear of people and objects before starting engine or operating the boat.

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.

A 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.

Refer to the Pre-Ride Inspection on page 42. Complete the inspection before using your Evinrude E-TEC outboard.

You MUST supply water to the engine before attempting to start it. Engine damage can occur quickly.

Be sure the water intake screens a re below the water surface.

Engine Cut–off/Key Switch

A combination engine cut–off switch and key switch is a feature of Evinrude prewired remote controls and all Evinrude control wiring kits. Use of the engine cut–off feature is highly recommended on all boats.

Connect the clip to the engine cut–off switch/ key switch.

A WARNING

The engine cover is a machinery guard. DO NOT operate your outboard with the cover off unless you are performing maintenance or emergency starting, and then be careful to keep hands, hair, and clothing clear of all moving parts. Contact with moving parts could cause injury

A WARNING

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.

Trim Angle Adjustment

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 cor rect these conditions.

If the bow of the boat plows the water at high speeds, the boat may b ow s teer o r spin suddenly, possibly ejecting or otherwise seriously injuring occupants.

Trim angle adjustment is accomplished by ch anging 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 b oat. 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 UP on page 28.

• Turn the tilt pin handle up. Push in against the spring so the retainer will release, then slide tilt pin assembly all the way out.

• Insert tilt pin in desire position. Make sure the tilt pin passes through both stern brackets.

A WARNING

Any malfunction of the power trim and tilt unit could result in loss o f shock ab sorber 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 i n the trim’s lowest p osition. If yo ur boat handles unsuitably when trimmed fully bow-down, adjust transom angle or limit the travel of the power trim.

NOTICE

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 persona l injury. Unrepaired damage could reduce your boat and outboard’s ability to resist future impacts.

ENGINE MONITORING

IMPORTANT: Your outboard must be

equipped with an engine monitoring system such as I-Command, SystemCheck, or equivalent. Operating your outboard without an engine monitor will void your warranty for failures related to monitored functions.

The engine monitoring system warns you of conditions that could damage your outboard. The monitoring system consists of a dashmounted gauge, a warning horn, sensors on the engine and oil tank, and related wiring.

The system is compatible with the Evinrude Modular Wiring System (MWS) or can be connected to an I-Command system, or other NMEA 2000 compliant CANbus instruments.

During engine start-up, pause with the key switch in the ON position.

SystemCheck —The SystemCheck monitor

self-tests by sounding a half-second beep. SystemCheck gauges self-test by turning the indicator lights on simultaneously, then off in sequence.

I-Command —The I-Command system self-

tests by displaying the Evinrude E-TEC welcome screen, followed by the tachometer display.

IMPORTANT: If the self-test does not happen as stated, see your Dealer.

Engine Monitor Warnings

Engine monitor system warnings activate the horn for 10 seconds and the appropriate gauge light for a minimum of 30 seconds, or until alarm is acknowledged. If the failure is momentary (for example, oil moving in the tank), the engine monitor gauge light or display may remain ON for a full 30 seconds before going out. If the unsafe operating condition continues, a light or display remains ON until the key is turned OFF or the failure is corrected.

The warning will reoccur at the next startup if the problem is not corrected.

If the EMM senses a problem could cause permanent engine damage, it will also limit engine speed to 1200 RPM. This additional protection feature is referred to as S.A.F.E. (Speed Adjusting Failsafe Electronics). If the engine was running faster than 1200 RPM when the S.A.F.E. mode activated, it will shake noticeably. Under certain operating conditions the EMM will shut OFF the engine.

 ENGINE MONITORING

NOTICE

ENGINE OVERHEATING

even for a brief start-up—without supplying water to it. Refer to Flushing on page

46.

While boating, the outboard’s water intakes must stay completely submerged and unobstructed. Observe proper transom height and trim 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, mud and debris-laden water, and at extreme trim angles.

1. Water intake screens

2. Water pump indicator

If the engine overheats, the engine monitor will sound the warning horn and turn o n the “WATER TEMP” or “HOT” light. Also, 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.

Do not run your outboard—

008469

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 re- store the water pump indicator’s steady d ischarge, you might have to run for two minutes in NEUTRAL to allow the engine to cool and the light to go off.

IMPORTANT: If cooling is not restored, the EMM will identify a progressive overheating condition and shut off the engine. The “WATER TEMP” or “HOT” light will flash. 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.

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.

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 41.

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 46.

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 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.

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.

Anti-corrosion Anodes 008486

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 prot ec ti on.

FLUSHING

Flush the outboard with fresh water followi ng 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 a t dockside. Place outboard in vertical (down) position in a well ventilated area.

NOTICE

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-

The ignition system presents a serious shock hazard. Use caution to avoid injury from shock or injury resulting from your reaction to shock. Do not handle primary or secondary ignition components while the engine is cranking or running.

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 51

STORAGE

NOTICE

A DANGER

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 cau se 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 50.

Stabilize the fuel supply. Fuel remaining in your fuel tank can oxidize, resulting in loss of octane and fuel system deposits.

Use Evinrude/Joh nson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner to prevent gum and varnish deposits from forming in fuel system components. Refer to Operation on page 21.

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 17.

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.

NOTICE

INSTALLATION

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 57.

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 61 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 61 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.

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.

 INSTALLATION

NOTICE

INSTALLING THE OUTBOARD

A 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.

The outboard’s warranty will not cover prod uct damage or failure that results from incorrect outboard installation.

Refer to Priming the Oil System on page 17.

BOAT-MOUNTED FUEL FILTERS

Boat-mounted fuel filters and water-separating fuel filter assemblies must meet the following requirements:

• Fuel flow – 0.4 in. Hg maximum pressure drop at 20 gph (76 l/hr) flow.

• Filter area – 150 in.2 (1290 cm2) of filter area.

The filter must be mounted to a rigid surface above the full level of the fuel tank and accessible for servicing.

Fuel Filter Assembly, P/N 174176, meets all requirements for a water-separating fuel filter.

If equipped, replace the boat-mounted fuel filter annually.

BATTERY

Requirements

• 12-volt, heavy-duty, designated for "marine" use;

• Vented/refillable or maintenance-free; and

PROPELLER

Propeller Selection

A 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.

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 61.

Page 61

A WARNING

NOTICE

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.

Installation

Apply Triple-Guard grease to the entire propeller shaft before installing the propeller. At least annually, remove the propeller and check for debris. Clean the shaft and regrease it before reinstalling a propeller.

Slide thrust washer onto shaft with shoulder facing aft.

Slide propeller onto shaft, engaging the splines and seating it on the thrust bushing.

Slide spacer onto the shaft and engage the propeller shaft splines.

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.

Tilt Limiter Cam

If your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well while tilting, adjust the tilt limiter cam to limit maximum tilt-up.

DR5157

Place the outboard in its normal operating position. Rotate the tilt limiter cam — pull its tab forward and up to REDUCE the amount of tilt UP.

Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard fully and adjust further, if necessary. Return the outboard to vertical position for each adjustment, and repeat your check after each adjustment.

A WARNING

Adjusting the tilt limiter cam will NOT prevent the outboard from tilting fully and contacting the motor well if the gearcase hits an object at high speed. Such contact could damage the outboard and boat and injure boat occupants.

Trim Tab Screw DR5158

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.

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.

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 requ ire 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 ma terial. Using substandard parts could result in injury or product malfunction. Your dealer can order the pa rts 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 77. 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 49 for step-by-step instructions to store your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the off-season.
