About This Guide

This Operator’s Guide is an essential part of your Evinrude E-TEC G2 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 G2 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.

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.

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.

SAFETY MEASURES — General

 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.

–

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.

–

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.

–

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.

–

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.

Safety Measures — Installation and Maintenance

–

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.

–

The outboard must be correctly installed. Failure to correctly install the outboard could result in serious injury, death or property damage. BRP recommends 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 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 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 & Inspection Schedule

on page 40.

–

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.

2–Stroke Engine Oil and Fuel

2–Stroke Engine Oil Requirements

Evinrude Brand Oils

Evinrude XD 2–stroke 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 2–stroke outboard oils are recommended for use in your Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard:

• Evinrude XD100 Direct Injection Oil

• Evinrude XD50 2–Stroke Oil

• or a synthetic TC-W3 NMMA-certified oil

Evinrude XD100 oil is preferred for your Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard. This synthet-

ic formula oil provides uncompromised lubrication and superior performance, even in extreme conditions especially in cold temperatures down to 0°F (-17°C).

Failure to follow oil specifications could void the engine warranty if a lubrication-related failure occurs.

Oiling System information

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 30.

To check oil level:

• Trim outboard to the vertical position.

• Use a digital display or gauge to check the oil tank level.

Always “top off” your oil tank prior to prolonged usage or long trips. You may want to keep an extra supply of outboard oil in the boat.

New outboards are programmed to use additional oil during the first two hours of operation above 2000 RPM.

If you run the oil tank empty, REFILL the oil tank and prime the oil system before using the engine. Refer to Filling the On-Engine Oil

Tank on page 15 and Priming the Oil System on page 15.

If an accessory remote oil tank is installed and the oil hose is disconnected for any reason, seal it to prevent spillage. Install a cap on the hose fitting to prevent contamination.

Oil Tank Capacity

The on-engine oil tank capacity is 2.0 gallons (7.5 liters).

Optional Remote Oil Tank

The following optional accessory remote oil tank kits are available:

• 1.8 gallons (6.8 liters)

• 3.0 gallons (11.3 liters)

 2–STROKE ENGINE OIL AND FUEL

Filling the On-Engine Oil Tank

Remove the top cap of the engine cover. Next, remove the oil fill cap. Fill the oil tank with outboard lubricant. Oil capacity is 2 gallons (7.5 liters)

Replace the filler cap and tighten securely. If you run the tank empty, you MUST prime the oil system before using the engine.

Priming the Oil System

The oil system of Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards is primed at the factory.

Priming the oil system is only required if:

• The oil system is disassembled for service or parts replacement; or

• The oil tank is run out of oil.

NOTE: If the oil tank is run out of oil, the EMM will activate SHUT DOWN mode and set Fault Code 33. See “NO OIL” on page 31.

After refilling an empty oil tank or servicing the oil system, air MUST be removed from the oil system before operating the outboard.

Prime the oil system by performing the Long- Term Storage (Winterization) on page 44 TWO times.

If available, Evinrude Diagnostic software v 6.1 or higher may be used to prime the oil system ONE time.

Fuel Requirements

Fuel blending varies by country and region. Your outboard has been designed to operate using the recommended 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 fuels attract and hold moisture which may lead to fuel phase separation and can result in engine performance problems or engine damage.

• Use of fuel containing alcohol above the percentage specified by government regulation can result in the following problems in outboard engines and fuel system components:

• Vapor lock or fuel starvation

• Starting and operating difficulties

• Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts

• Corrosion of metal parts

• Damage to internal engine parts

• Have your dealer inspect for fuel leaks or other fuel system abnormalities if you suspect the presence of alcohol in gasoline exceeds the current government regulation limits.

Recommended Fuel: Use unleaded gasoline with an AKI (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87, or an RON octane rating of 90.

Use in North America

The use of unleaded gasoline containing alcohol above the percentage specified by government regulations is not recommended. Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited by U.S. EPA Regulations.

Use of a boat mounted water separating fuel filter is strongly recommended.

Use Outside North America

The use of unleaded gasoline containing alcohol above the percentage specified by local government regulations is not recommended.

Use of a boat mounted water separating fuel filter is strongly recommended.

Fuel System Information

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 the Service Note on page 48.

 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.

NOTICE

Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline will oxidize; the result is loss of octane, volatile compounds, and the production of gum and varnish deposits which can damage the fuel system.

NOTICE

Do NOT use fuel from fuel pumps labeled E85. Never experiment with other fuels.

 WARNING

Fuel is flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Follow these instructions to ensure safety when handing fuel:

• Always work in a well ventilated area.

• Always turn off the engine before fueling.

• Never permit anyone other than an adult to refill the fuel tank.

• 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.

• When fueling, keep boat level.

• Remove portable fuel tanks from the boat before fueling.

• Fuel tank may be pressurized, turn cap slowly when opening.

• Do not overfill or top off the fuel tank and leave boat in the sun. As temperature increases, fuel expands and might overflow.

• To prevent fuel back-flow, fill the fuel tank slowly so air can escape from tank.

• Always wipe off any fuel spillage.

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE

Dispose of fuel contaminated towels in an environmentally responsible manner, or according to local regulations.

Fuel Additives

The only fuel additives approved for use in your Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard are:

• Evinrude 2+4 Fuel Conditioner

• Evinrude Fuel System Cleaner

Evinrude 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 Fuel System Cleaner will help keep fuel injectors in optimal operating condition.

Fuel System Priming

Safety Information Engine Starting / Stopping

Refer to the Pre-Ride Inspection on page 35. Complete the inspection before using your Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard.

Be sure the water intake screens are below the water surface.

Engine Cut–off Switch/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 switch feature is highly recommended on all boats.

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

If boat is equipped with a second station, connect the clip to the second station cut–off switch.

IMPORTANT: The second station clip MUST be installed. The outboard cannot be started if the second station clip is not in place.

 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 propeller 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.

 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.

 WARNING

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

In an emergency situation, the engine can be started without the clip installed on the key switch. Follow the normal starting procedure. Reinstall a clip as soon as possible. The op-

erator should always use the clip and tether cord anytime the engine is running.

Refer to Engine Cut–off Switch/Key Switch on page 19.

IMPORTANT: Your engine cut–off switch can be effective only when in good working condition. At each outing, inspect clip and tether cord for cuts, breaks, or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts.

Snap the tether cord to a secure place on the operator’s clothing or life vest — not where it

might tear away instead of activating the engine cut–off switch.

Disconnecting the clip and tether cord will stop the engine and prevent the boat from becoming a runaway if the driver moves beyond the range of the tether cord. If the tether cord is too long, it can be shortened by knotting or looping it. DO NOT cut and retie the tether cord.

Move the remote control handle to NEUTRAL.

Set control to SLOWEST speed position.

DO NOT advance the throttle before start-up. Advancing the throttle overrides the electronic idle control system.

 WARNING

Always use the tether cord when operating your boat to help prevent a runaway boat and reduce the risk of personal injury or death

 WARNING

Avoid knocking or pulling the clip off the engine cut–off switch during normal boating. Avoid bumping the key if operating without the clip on the switch. The resulting unexpected loss of forward motion can throw occupants forward, causing injury.

Keep the tether cord free from obstructions and entanglements.

At each outing, test the system’s operation. With the engine running, remove the clip from the switch by pulling the tether cord. If the engine does not stop running, see the Service Note on page

Trim, Tilt and Steering

Power Trim and Tilt

The trim and tilt functions of Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards are controlled by the engine EMM.

IMPORTANT: Activating any trim button while the key switch is in the OFF position will briefly turn on the system. This will cause the electric fuel pump to run and the remote control and any displays or gauges to turn on. There will be a short delay before the trim system operates. This is normal. The system will turn off after a few seconds of non-use.

Some boats plow, or are difficult to plane, when operated in the lowest trim position. If your boat handles unsuitably when trimmed fully bow-down, adjust the trim.

The boat should accelerate quickly, plane easily, and run parallel to the surface of the water at high speeds.

• If trim position is too LOW the front of boat will be DOWN and push water.

• If trim position is too HIGH the front of boat will be UP and bounce.

 WARNING

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.

 WARNING

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, TILT AND STEERING

i-Trim

Your outboard is equipped with i-Trim, a trim assist feature. By default, this feature is disabled from the factory.

Use the Evinrude ICON-Touch or ICON CS digital display to enable i-Trim. If your boat is not equipped with an ICON digital display, your Dealer must use Evinrude Diagnostic software to enable this feature.

To activate the i-Trim:

• the key switch must be in the ON position

• use the trim/tilt switch to trim the engine to the full DOWN position.

During operation, the outboard will automatically trim up or down to an acceptable trim angle based on pre-programmed parameters.

Use the trim/tilt switch on the control lever to fine tune to an optimum trim angle.

IMPORTANT: Use of the trim/tilt switch to manually adjust the outboard trim angle will temporarily deactivate i-Trim.

To reactivate i-Trim:

• use the trim/tilt switch to trim the engine to the full down position

• bring the engine to idle speed.

Trim

In most operating conditions, it is recommended to trim the outboard to the full down position while accelerating. As the boat comes on plane, trim the outboard up for best performance.

Run the boat in the water to determine the best trim angle.

Over-trimming increases engine RPM while decreasing speed. The best trim setting is when the highest speed is achieved with the lowest engine RPM.

IMPORTANT: Weight distribution can affect the performance of the boat. Distribute weight evenly in the boat.

Trim Angle Adjustment

Use the trim/tilt switch to adjust the outboard position in the tilt range or trim range.

Shallow Water

Adjust the outboard position within the tilt range for shallow water operation.

Tilt

The tilt range allows the operator to tilt the outboard for clearance when beaching, mooring, launching, or trailering.

Tilt Limit

See Adjustments on page 55, if your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well while tilting.

1. Tilt range

2. Trim range

009056

NOTICE

When operating a tilted outboard, do not run above a fast idle speed. Keep the water intakes submerged at all times to prevent the engine from overheating.

Page 32

Using Your Evinrude E-TEC G2 Outboard

Manual Release Valve

If needed, the outboard will tilt up or down manually, using the manual release valve.

1) Turn the manual release screw counterclockwise, slowly (about 3 1/2 turns), until it lightly contacts its retaining ring.

2) Reposition the outboard.

3) Tighten the manual release valve to hold the outboard in its new position.

Impact Damage Protection

Your outboard has a shock absorption system designed to help withstand damage from im-

pact with underwater objects at low to moderate speeds.

Such impacts can result in serious damage to your outboard or 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.

If you hit any object:

• STOP immediately and examine the outboard for loosening of attaching hardware.

 WARNING

Keep everyone clear of a tilted outboard when backing out the manual release screw. The outboard could drop suddenly and forcibly. Be sure to tighten the manual release screw after manually repositioning the outboard. Tightening the screw also reactivates the outboard’s impact protection and reverse thrust capability.

Manual Release Screw 009059

 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.

009060

NOTICE

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.

009061

Page 33

 TRIM, TILT AND STEERING

• 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.

If your engine will not trim to the fully DOWN position, it may have impacted an underwater object. See the Service Note on page 48.

Dynamic Power Steering (DPS)

Your outboard may be equipped with Dynamic Power Steering (DPS). DPS offers three power steering assist levels.

Power Steering Assist Levels

All power steering assist levels provide the same rate of assist at engine speeds below 4500 RPM.

As engine speed increases above 4500 RPM, assist levels progressively decrease.

The factory default assist level is “Minimum”. Use the Evinrude ICON-Touch or ICON CS

digital display to change the power steering assist level to “Medium” or “Maximum”.

If your boat is not equipped with an ICON digital display, your Dealer must use Evinrude Diagnostic software to change the power steering assist level.

 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.

 WARNING

Selection of power steering assist level is a matter of operator preference.

Be aware that changing the power steering assist level can affect boat handling.

After changing the level of power steering assist, operate the boat with care to become familiar with any changes in boat handling characteristics.

Page 34

Using Your Evinrude E-TEC G2 Outboard

Engine Monitoring

IMPORTANT: Your outboard must be

equipped with an engine monitoring system such as Evinrude ICON Touch, ICON, I-Com- mand, or other NMEA 2000 compliant CANbus instruments.

An analog SystemCheck gauge, or equivalent may be used. Analog gauges REQUIRE the installation of a digital to analog converter.

The engine monitoring system provides engine operating information and alerts you of abnormal conditions that could damage your outboard. The monitoring system consists of a dash-mounted display or gauge, a warning horn, sensors on the engine and oil tank, and related wiring.

Displays and Gauges

Gauges and displays are available in several styles, such as a Evinrude ICON Touch,

ICON Pro with digital LCD display or a basic SystemCheck gauge.

Refer to the display or gauge user’s guide for operation, warnings, and monitoring instructions.

System Self-Test

During engine start-up, pause with the key switch in the ON position. Digital displays and gauges will self test as follows:

Evinrude ICON Touch — The digital touch

screen displays a “booting” screen, followed by the Evinrude logo and then the default home page.

ICON —The ICON gauge sounds a beep.

The tachometer and speedometer LCD screens display SELF TEST MODE IN OPERATION. When the self test is complete, the gauges will beep a final time and then display SELF TEST COMPLETE!

I-Command —The I-Command system dis-

plays the Evinrude welcome screen, followed by the tachometer display.

SystemCheck —The SystemCheck monitor

sounds a beep. The SystemCheck gauge indicator lights turn on simultaneously, then off in sequence.

Engine Monitor Warnings

Engine monitor system warnings activate the horn and the appropriate warning indicator for a minimum of 30 seconds, or until the alarm is acknowledged. If the abnormal operating condition continues, the warning indicator 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.

Speed Adjusting Failsafe Electronics (S.A.F.E.)

If the EMM senses a problem could cause permanent engine damage, it will 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

The following warnings may appear on the engine monitor gauge:

LOW OIL

The LOW OIL warning indicates the oil in the oil tank is at the reserve level (about 1/4 full). The EMM will initiate the following failsafe actions:

• activate the display warning or LOW OIL indicator

Fill the oil tank with recommended outboard oil soon to avoid emptying the tank. See Fill- ing the On-Engine Oil Tank on page 15.

There is approximately one-hour of wideopen-throttle running time when the reserve oil level is reached.

NO OIL

The NO OIL warning indicates there is an oil delivery problem. The EMM will initiate the following failsafe actions:

• activate the display warning or NO OIL indicator

• activate S.A.F.E. mode

If the oil tank is empty, add the recommended oil.

If the oil tank is not empty, seek assistance and/or return to safe harbor.

Your outboard is designed to run in S.A.F.E. mode at reduced speed for up to 5 hours in the event you run out of oil. Refill the oil tank.

After 5 hours, the EMM will activate SHUT DOWN mode and set Fault Code 33; Critical NO OIL.

IMPORTANT: If the outboard enters SHUT DOWN mode, refill the oil tank. Then prime oil system. See Priming the Oil System on page 15.

TEMP or HOT

The TEMP warning indicates the engine is overheating. Depending on the severity of the overheating, the EMM may initiate one or more of the following failsafe actions:

• activate the TEMP warning or HOT indicator

• activate S.A.F.E. mode

• activate shut down

If the TEMP warning activates, see Trouble-

shooting on page 46.

CHECK ENGINE

The CHECK ENGINE warning indicates an abnormal engine condition. Depending on the severity of the condition, the EMM may initiate any of the following failsafe actions:

• activate the display warning or CHECK ENGINE indicator

• activate S.A.F.E. mode

• activate shut down

If the CHECK ENGINE warning activates, see Troubleshooting on page 46.

 WARNING

In the S.A.F.E. mode, engine speed is lim- ited. 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 and/or reduced maneuverability may be imminent.

Under certain operating conditions the EMM will shut OFF the engine.

 WARNING

If the outboard shuts OFF and the “CHECK ENGINE” indicator is flashing, the outboard cannot be restarted. A hazardous fuel condition may exist.

Using Your Evinrude E-TEC G2 Outboard

Special Operating Conditions

Cold and Freezing Weather

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.

Multiple Outboard Operation

When in reverse above slow speed, be sure all 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 some 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.

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 41.

Shallow Water

Gearcase damage can occur if the gearcase is allowed to drag on the waterway bottom. Use caution when operating in shallow water.

IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT covered by the outboard warranty.

Under Tow

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.

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 pressure 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.

NOTICE

Engine Emissions Installation Information

A repair shop or person of the owner's choosing may maintain, replace, or repair emission control devices and systems. These instructions do not require components or service by BRP or authorized Evinrude dealers. Although an authorized Evinrude dealer has the in-depth technical knowledge and tools to service Evinrude outboard engines, the emission-related warranty is not conditioned on the use of an authorized Evinrude dealer or any other establishment with which BRP has a commercial relationship.

For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair of emission-related parts to authorized Evinrude dealers. For more information, please refer to the US EPA EMISSION-RELATED WARRANTY contained herein. Proper maintenance is the owner's responsibility. A warranty claim may be denied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through improper maintenance or use.

You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the FUEL REQUIREMENTS section of this manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten volume percent ethanol is readily available, the US EPA has issued a prohibition against the use of gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol that applies to this engine. The use of gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol with this engine may harm the emission control system.

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.

Page 43

 ENGINE EMISSIONS INSTALLATION INFORMATION

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.

Service

Anodes

Your outboard is equipped with one or more sacrificial 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.

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 anti-fouling 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.

Flushing

Flush the outboard with fresh water following use in brackish, 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. Trim the outboard to the fully down position in a well ventilated area.

It is not necessary to run the engine when flushing. IF you decide to run the engine observe the following additional steps:

• Remove the propeller.

• RUN AT IDLE SPEED only.

• Reinstall the propeller. See Propeller on

page 54.

Anti-corrosion anodes 009069

Anti-corrosion anode 009070

NOTICE

NEVER paint the anode, its fasteners, or its mounting surface. Painting will reduce its corrosion protection.

NOTICE

IMPORTANT: Trim the outboard to the vertical (down) position to flush the engine.

Flushing the engine with the outboard tilted can allow water to enter the cylinders, resulting in engine damage.

When flushing is complete, store the outboard in the recommended down position.

If the outboard must be stored in a tilted position, make SURE the cooling system is drained completely BEFORE tilting.

Never place the gearcase higher than the powerhead. Any water remaining in the exhaust passages can run into the cylinders and cause serious damage.

4) Turn on the water. Keep the water pres-

sure between 20 and 40 psi (140 to 300kPa).

5) After flushing, leave the outboard in the

vertical position long enough to completely drain the powerhead.

Fuses

A blown fuse could prevent the engine from starting.

Repeated fuse failures indicate a potentially serious problem. Do not replace it with higher rated fuse.

Fuse Replacement

Your outboard uses the following Mini-Fuses. See your Dealer for replacement fuses.

Remove port engine cover. Remove cover from fuse box. Replace failed fuse.

Hull Finish

The condition of your boat’s bottom affects performance. Marine growth or bottom painting may reduce speed and fuel efficiency.

For maximum performance, keep the boat’s running surface clean by rinsing it with fresh water and wiping it dry. Apply Evinrude anticorrosion spray to any surface subject to corrosion, but avoid the anti-corrosion anode(s).

Outboard External Finish

Periodically, wash the entire boat and outboard with soapy water and apply a coat of automotive wax. Leave the engine covers in place when washing the outboard.

Scratch Repair

Surface scratches on the engine covers can be repaired or painted.

IMPORTANT: Your Dealer has the professional materials or matching paint colors to properly repair scratches. See your Dealer to repair any deep scratches or gouges.

Spark Plugs

Incorrect spark plug maintenance can lead to engine damage.

Marine Engine Duty Cycles

The International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) Standard No. 36-88 specifies a marine engine duty cycle based on documented studies. A duty cycle is a profile of engine running and usage. This duty cycle is used to determine average spark plug longevity and maintenance requirements.

Submerged Outboard

If your outboard has been under water, have it serviced immediately upon recovery.

After submersion, all boat and engine electrical, fuel, and oiling systems must be inspected for signs of water intrusion. See the

Service Note on page 48.

Maintenance

Storage

Protect against natural environmental conditions that can be damaging to an outboard. Your warranty does not cover engine failure caused by these conditions.

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

Use Evinrude 2+4 Fuel Conditioner to prevent gum and varnish deposits from forming in fuel system components.

If the outboard is removed from the boat for transportation or storage, you MUST:

• Seal the oil and fuel lines on the boat and on the outboard to prevent leaks and prevent contaminants from entering the oil or fuel system.

• Install shipping brackets to prevent the outboard from turning.

• Cap steering fightings on the outboard and hydraulic hoses to prevent leaks and prevent contaminants from entering the hydraulic system.

Short-Term Storage

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.

Long-Term Storage (Winterization)

Winterization prepares your outboard for long-term off-season storage. During winterization, the engine is “fogged” with extra oil to coat internal engine components.

Winterization requires a specific process of steps.

Note: The Evinrude ICON touch digital dis- play provides a one-touch winterization. See the ICON Touch User’s Guide.

Closely follow the applicable winterization procedure for your outboard:

• Remote control

• Remote control with foot throttle You can confirm your outboard enters winter-

ization mode when the engine runs at fast idle and:

• The ICON or I-Command gauges display a winterization message (if equipped).

• The SystemCheck gauge lights flash (if equipped).

Preparation

Your outboard can be winterized in the water. If winterizing in water, make sure the water intake screens are completely submerged.

1) Stabilize the engine’s fuel supply. Add 2+4

Fuel Conditioner following instructions on container. Fill fuel tank.

2) If winterizing on a trailer, remove the pro-

peller. Attach a garden hose to flushing

 WARNING

NOTICE

Temperature and humidity changes during storage period can cause corrosion of internal engine components.

 WARNING

Prevent injury from moving engine components. Before starting the outboard:

• Shift it to NEUTRAL.

• Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of powerhead.

If on a trailer, remove the propeller.

 WARNING

If winterizing on a trailer, the propeller must be removed before performing procedure. Failure to remove propeller can cause personal injury or death.

3) Turn the key switch to the OFF position.

4) Move the lever(s) to the FORWARD wide open throttle position.

5) Turn the key switch to ON and wait a minimum of three seconds.

6) Attempt to start the outboard three times within three seconds (the starter will not engage or crank the outboard).

7) Move the lever to NEUTRAL and start the outboard(s).

8) Run the outboards at idle for a minimum of three seconds.

9) With the outboard(s) running, attempt to start the outboard three times within three seconds (the starter will not engage or crank the outboard).

10)The remote control will send the winterization message to each outboard. Only running outboard(s) will be winterized.

11)The outboard(s) will automatically shut off when the process is complete.

During the winterization process, the remote control will ignore all throttle, gear, and switch operations. The control WILL acknowledge Key OFF or Emergency Stop commands.

Trim the outboard to the fully down position to store. If the outboard must be stored in a tilted position, make SURE the cooling system is drained completely BEFORE tilting.

Pre-Season Check

Remove your outboard from storage and prepare it for a season of reliable service by performing a general check and a few preventive maintenance procedures.

Check for loosened or removed hardware. Replace damaged or missing parts with Evin- rude Genuine Parts or equivalent. Check the gearcase for leakage. If leakage is evident, the gearcase seals should be replaced. See the Service Note on page 48.

IMPORTANT: Gearcase lubricant is thick and clear. Do not confuse this with engine oil,

which may normally appear on the skeg after performing the long-term storage procedure.

Anti-corrosion anodes — Check condition.

See Anodes on page 41.

Battery — Charge. See Battery on page 52.

Review your outboard’s warning system selftest routine. During start-up, make sure the warning system self-tests properly.

Following Engine Starting on page 21, start the outboard. If the outboard was winterized, it will emit a puff of smoke on the first start of the season.

Let engine idle while you:

Observe running quality. If poor, refer to Troubleshooting on page 46.

Confirm water pump operation. Water must flow from the water pump indicator in a steady stream. If it does not, shut off the outboard and investigate.

Stop the outboard and check the fuel system for leaks.

Installation

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 56 for transom height.

Determine transom height by measuring from the top edge of the transom, along the centerline.

Boat performance depends on outboard mounting height.

Generally, the anti-ventilation plate of the gearcase should align 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.

Outboard Shipping Cover

 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.

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 51.

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 3/4 in. (45 mm) and 2 3/4 in. (70 mm) in thickness.

Product Information

Propeller

Propeller Selection

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 56.

Standard vs. Counter Rotation

Right-hand propellers are considered standard rotation propellers. When propelling a boat forward, the propeller rotates in a righthand (clockwise) direction as viewed from the rear.

Left-hand propellers are considered counter rotation propellers. When propelling a boat forward, the propeller rotates in a left-hand (counterclockwise) direction as viewed from the rear.

Installation

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.

Wedge a block of wood between the propeller blade and the anti-ventilation plate.

Install propeller nut and tighten to a torque of 70 to 80 ft. lbs. (95 to 109 N·m). Install keeper on propeller nut, align keeper slots and cotter pin hole.

IMPORTANT: If cotter pin holes in the propeller nut and propeller shaft are not aligned,

 WARNING

When servicing the propeller, always shift the outboard to NEUTRAL position, turn the key switch OFF and remove the key, so the outboard cannot be started accidentally.

009079

 WARNING

In multiple outboard installations, check to make sure correct propellers are installed on each outboard before aggressively operating your boat. Shift each engine individually into FORWARD or REVERSE, at idle speed only. If the boat moves opposite the direction indicated by the remote control handle, the wrong propeller has been installed on the outboard being checked.

NOTICE

Apply Triple-Guard grease to the entire propeller shaft before installing the propeller.

Propeller Hardware – Typical 009080

Page 59

 INSTALLATION

tighten the nut until they are in line. Do not loosen.

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.

Install the anode and screw on the propeller shaft. Tighten the screw to 177 to 204 in. lbs. (20 to 23 N·m).

Repair

If your propeller hits a solid object, the impact is partially absorbed by the 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.

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

Tilt Limit

Set the tilt limit if your outboard contacts the boat’s motor well while tilting.

Manual Method

IMPORTANT: You MUST use the trim switch

on the starboard engine cover to set the tilt limit with this method.

Tilt the engine up to the desired maximum tilt position.

Then, simultaneously press both the up and down trim buttons and hold for at least three seconds.

To change or clear this setting, tilt the engine to the full down position.

Then, simultaneously press both the up and down trim buttons and hold for at least three seconds.

Diagnostic Software Method

Your Dealer must use Evinrude Diagnostic software to limit maximum tilt-up.

Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard fully and adjust further, if necessary. Check after each adjustment.

US EPA Emission Warranty

BRP US Inc. ("BRP")* warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that this new engine, including all parts of its exhaust emission control system and its evaporative emission control system, meets two conditions:

Where a warrantable condition exists, BRP will repair or replace, as it elects, any part or component with a defect in materials or workmanship that would increase the engine's emissions of any regulated pollutant within the stated warranty period at no cost to the owner, including expenses related to diagnosing and repairing or replacing emission-related parts. All defective parts replaced under this warranty become the property of BRP.

For all emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair of emission-related parts to the authorized Evinrude dealers, unless for emergency repairs as required by item 2 of the following list.

As a certifying manufacturer, BRP will not deny emission-related warranty claims based on any of the following:

Emission Related Warranty Period

The emission-related warranty is valid for the following period whichever comes first:

It is designed, built, and equipped so it conforms at the time of sale to the ultimate purchaser with the requirements of 40 CFR 1045 and 40 CFR 1060.

It is free from defects in materials and workmanship that may keep it from meeting the requirements of 40 CFR 1045 and 40 CFR 1060.

1. Maintenance or other service BRP or BRP's authorized facilities performed.

2. Engine/equipment repair work that an operator performed to correct an unsafe, emergency condition attributable to BRP as long as the operator tries to restore the engine/equipment to its proper configuration as soon as possible.

3. Any action or inaction by the operator unrelated to the warranty claim.

4. Maintenance that was performed more frequently than BRP specify.

5. Anything that is BRP fault or responsibility.

6. The use of any fuel that is commonly available where the equipment operates unless BRP written maintenance instructions state that this fuel would harm the equipment's emission control system and operators can readily find the proper fuel. See maintenance information section and fuel requirements section.

Page 71

Components Covered

The emission-related warranty covers all components whose failure would increase an engine's emissions of any regulated pollutant, including the following listed components:

Limited Applicability

As a certifying manufacturer, BRP may deny emission-related warranty claims for failures that have been caused by the owner's or operator's improper maintenance or use, by accidents for which the manufacturer has no responsibility, or by acts of God. For example, an emission-related warranty claim need not be honored for failures that have been directly caused by the operator's abuse of the engine/equipment or the operator's use of the engine/equipment in a manner for which it was not designed and are not attributable to the manufacturer in anyway.

For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine parts related to the following systems:

– Air-induction system – Fuel system – Ignition system – Exhaust gas recirculation systems

2. The following parts are also considered emission-related components for exhaust emissions: – After-treatment devices – Crankcase ventilation valves – Sensors – Electronic control units

3. The following parts are considered emission-related components for evaporative emissions: – Fuel tank – Fuel cap – Fuel line – Fuel line fittings – Clamps* – Pressure relief valves* – Control valves* – Control solenoids* – Electronic controls* – Vacuum control diaphragms* – Control cables* – Control linkages* – Purge valves – Vapor hoses – Liquid/vapor separator – Carbon canister – Canister mounting brackets – Carburetor purge port connector

Emission-related components also include any other part whose only purpose is to reduce emissions or whose failure will increase emissions without significantly degrading engine/ equipment performance.

 PRODUCT WARRANTY INFORMATION

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 Evinrude E-TEC G2 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 emissionrelated 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 necessary modifications.

Select emission control parts of your Evinrude E-TEC G2 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:

The emission warranty covers damage to other engine components that is caused by the failure of a warranted part.

The BRP Operator's Guide provided contains written instructions for the proper maintenance and use of your outboard. All emission warranty parts are warranted by BRP for the entire warranty period of the outboard, unless the part is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Operator's Guide.

Emission warranty parts that are scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance, are warranted by BRP for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. Emission warranty parts that are scheduled for regular inspection but not regular replacement are warranted by BRP for the entire warranty period of the outboard. Any emission warranty part repaired or replaced under the terms of this warranty statement is warranted by BRP for the remainder of the warranty period of the original part. All parts replaced under this limited warranty become the property of BRP.

Maintenance receipts and records should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the outboard.

Owner's Warranty Responsibilities

As the outboard owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Operator's Guide. BRP recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your outboard, but BRP cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the outboard owner, you should however be aware that BRP may deny you warranty coverage if your outboard or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your outboard to an authorized BRP dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

For any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities or for the name and location of the nearest authorized BRP dealer, contact:

Frequently Asked Questions

No dealer-scheduled maintenance for five years or 500 hours of normal recreational use? Really?

• Yes! BRP knows you want to spend your time out on the water, not servicing your Evinrude E-TEC G2

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 G2 outboard?

• Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards require a minimum octane rating 87 {AKI (R+M)/2} in the U.S. and Can-

ada, or 90 {RON} outside of the U.S. and Canada. Use of higher octane fuels is not harmful, but also not necessary.

What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard require?

• Evinrude XD100 Direct Injection Oil and Evinrude XD50 2–Stroke Oil are recommended for your Evin-

rude E-TEC G2 outboard. When operating in conditions under 32°F (0°C), Evinrude XD100 oil must be used.

Do I need to mix oil into my fuel?

•No. Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboards do not require any mixing of oil and fuel.

Can I order replacement parts and accessories for my Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard?

• Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude Genuine Parts or parts with equivalent char-

acteristics, 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 G2 outboard?

• Yes. In order to maintain contact with you or the new Evinrude E-TEC G2 owner, BRP requests you

complete the form outlining

Change of Address / Change of Ownership on page 75. 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 G2 outboard for the winter?

• Winterization is minimal. Refer to Storage on page 44 for step-by-step instructions to store your Evin-

rude E-TEC G2 outboard for the off-season.
