FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No dealer-scheduled maintenance for the first three years of normal recreational use? Really?
•
Yes! Bombardier knows you want to spend your time 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 lubri-
cation.
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 fu-
els is not harmful, but also not necessary.
What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC outboard require?
•
Any TC-W3 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 15; see also Oil Requirements on page 16.
Do I need to mix oil into my fuel?
• No. Evinrude E-TEC outboards do not require any mixing of oil and fuel.
Where should I take my Evinrude E-TEC outboard for service?
•
For repairs covered under warranty, you must take your Evinrude E-TEC outboard to an au-
thorized dealer. Bombardier-approved dealers and distributors have received the necessary
training to properly service your outboard. Contact Bombardier for an authorized Evinrude
E-TEC dealer near you.
Can I order replacement parts and accessories for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
•
Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts
with equivalent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. Using substandard
parts could result in injury or product malfunction. Your dealer can order the parts and ac-
cessories 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, Bombardier
requests you complete the form outlining Change of Address / Change of Ownership on
page 51. This will ensure you or the new owner is made aware of any product announce-
ments 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 34 for step-by-step instructions to store
your Evinrude E-TEC outboard for the off-season.
