ble and explosive. Always adhere to thefueling procedure contained in this Op-erators Guide and those given to you bythe fueling station. Always verify fuellevel before use and during the ride. Ap-ply the principle of 1/3 fuel to destina-tion, 1/3 back and 1/3 reserve fuelsupply. Do not carry spare fuel or flam-mable liquids in any storage or enginecompartments.

Whenever running the engine, assurethere is proper ventilation to avoid theaccumulation of carbon monoxide (CO),which is odorless, colorless, and taste-less, and can lead to unconsciousness,brain damage, or death if inhaled in suf-ficient concentrations. CO accumulationcan occur while docked, anchored, orunderway, and in many confined areassuch as the boat cabin, cockpit, swimplatform, and heads. It can be worsenedor caused by weather, mooring and op-erating conditions, and other boats.Avoid exhaust fumes from your engineor other boats, provide proper ventila-tion, shut off your engine when notneeded, and be aware of the risk ofbackdrafting and conditions that createCO accumulation. In high concentra-tions, CO can be fatal within minutes.Lower concentrations are just as lethalover long periods of time.

Avoid standing up or shifting weight sud-denly in light weight boats.

Keep your passengers seated in seats.The boats bow, gunwale, transom andseat backs are not intended for use asseats.

6SAFETY MEASURES Installation and Maintenance

Insist on the use of personal floatationdevices, approved by the U.S. CoastGuard, by all passengers when boatingconditions are hazardous, and by chil-dren and nonswimmers at all times.

Proceed with caution and at very lowspeed in shallow water. Grounding orabrupt stops may result in personal inju-ry or property damage. Also be alert fordebris and objectsBe familiar with theating in. The gearextends below thcould potentially cunderwater obstruunderwater obstruloss of control and

Do not overpower your boat by using anengine that exceeds the horsepower in-dicated on the boats capacity plate.Overpowering could result in loss ofcontrol. If your boat has no capacityplate, contact your DEALER or theboats manufacturer.

When replacement parts are required,use Evinrude/Johnson GenuineParts or parts with equivalent character-istics, including type, strength and mate-rial. Using substandard parts couldresult in injury or product malfunction.Only perform service procedures whichare detailed in this Operators Guide. At-tempting to perform maintenance or re-pair on your outboard if you are notfamiliar with the correct service andsafety procedure could cause personalinjury or death. Further information canbe obtained from your authorizedEvinrude/Johnson DEALER. In many in-stances proper tools and training are re-quired for certain service or repairprocedures.

Maintain your boat and engine in topcondition at all times. Adhere to theMaintenance Schedule on page 33.

Operate your boat and outboard pru-dently and have fun. Do not forget thatall persons must assist other boaters incase of emergency.

Prevent injury from contact with rotatingpropeller; remove propeller before flush-ing or before performing any mainte-nance.

IMPORTANT: Fuel distribution hoses in theboat must deliver fuel at the rate of flow need-ed by the outboard. Minimum inside diameterof fuel hoses must be 3/8 in. (9 mm).

Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularlythose that include antisiphon valves and filter/primer units, may have restrictions not allow-ing the engine fuel pump to deliver sufficientfuel under all conditions. This can result in aloss of performance. If a performance prob-lem exists, see your Dealer.

FUEL ADDITIVESBombardier approves only Evinrude 2+4fuel conditioner fuel additive for use in yourEvinrude E-TEC outboard.Use of other fuel additives can result in poorperformance or engine damage.Evinrude 2+4 fuel conditioner will help pre-vent gum and varnish deposits from formingin fuel system components and will removemoisture from the fuel system.It should be used during any period when yourengine is not being operated on a regular ba-sis. Its use will reduce fuel system icing andfuel deterioration.

Be sure the disconnected fuel hosedoes not drip.

WARNINGThe outboard must be correctlyinstalled. Failure to correctly install theoutboard could result in property dam-age, serious injury, or death. Westrongly recommend your Dealer installyour outboard to ensure proper instal-lation.

Using Your E-TEC OutboardENGINE OVERHEATINGIMPORTANT: Do not run your outboardeven for a brief start-upwithout supplyingwater to it. Refer to Flushing on page 34.While boating, the outboards water intakesmust stay completely submerged and unob-structed. Observe proper transom height andtrim angle. While the outboard is running, theoutboards water pump indicator must dis-charge a steady stream of water. Check theindicator often, especweeds, mud and debrextreme trim angles.

Using Your E-TEC OutboardIMPACT DAMAGEYour outboard has a shock absorption systemdesigned to help withstand damage from im-pact with underwater objects at low to moder-ate speeds. High speed impacts with rigidunderwater objects like pilings or boulderscan be beyond the capability of the absorptionsystem. Such impacts can result in seriousdamage to your outboard and injury to boatoccupants from the outboard or its parts en-tering the boat.

EMERGENCY STARTINGIf the starter fails, your engine can be startedusing a 1/4 in (6 mm) cord about 4 ft. (1.2 m)long.

Be sure: Key switch is OFF. Engine is in normal operating position. Shift lever is in NEUTRAL.

WARNINGFailure to inspect for damage after anaccident or striking an object couldresult in sudden, unexpected compo-nent failure, loss of boat control, andpersonal injury. Unrepaired damagecould reduce your boat and outboardsability to resist future impacts.

WARNINGMove the shift lever to NEUTRALbefore performing emergency startingprocedures. Failure to do so may resultin unexpected boat movement.The engine cover is a machinery guard.To prevent injury from moving enginecomponents, keep hands, clothes, andhair clear of powerhead.Prevent electric shock by keeping clearof the ignition coils and spark plugleads when the motor is being startedor is running.

Galvanic corrosion destroys underwater met-al parts and can occur in fresh or salt water;however, salt, brackish, and polluted waterswill accelerate corrosion.Metal-based antifouling paint on the boat oroutboard and the use of improperly installedshore power in the area of your moored boatwill also accelerate corrosion.IMPORTANT: NEVER paint the anode, itsfasteners, or its mounting surface. Paintingwill reduce its corrosion protection.

WEEDY WATERWeeds block water intakes and may causeyour outboard to overheat. Weeds on the pro-peller create vibration and reduce boat speed.When operating in weedy water, run at slowspeeds and in REVERSE frequently to clearweeds from the propeller and water intakes.Check the water pump indicator often.If REVERSE operation does not clear awayweeds, SHUT OFF the engine. Removeweeds from propeller area and water intakesbefore operating at higher speed.

OPERATION

HIGH ALTITUDEYour outboards EMM will automatically com-pensate for changes in altitude. However, ifyou boat above 3000 ft. (900 m), you will ex-perience a slight loss of power due to reducedair density.If your engine drops below the recommendedRPM operating range at full throttle, have yourDealer select a lower pitch propeller.If you return to sea level, have your Dealer in-stall the original propRPM operating range.
