2004 Johnson 200 225 hp PX4 CX4 PZ4 CZ4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual

Whenever running the engine, assure there
is proper ventilation to avoid carbon monox-
ide  (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 oth-
er 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 concentra-
tions, CO can be fatal within minutes. Lower
concentrations are just as lethal over long pe-
riods of time.
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.
For  more  information,  see   your  Evinrude/
Johnson DEALER for a copy of Introduction
to High Performance Boating, P/N 335763.
SAFETY MEASURES — Installation and
Maintenance
Outboard Installation
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.
Proceed with caution and at very low speed
in shallow water. Grounding or abrupt stops
may result in injury. 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 be-
low the water surface and could potentially
come  in  contact  with  underwater   obstruc-
tions. Contact with underwater obstructions
may result in loss of control and personal in-
jury.
Do not overpower your boat by using an en-
gine 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.
Maintenance
Avoid standing up or shifting weight suddenly
in light weight boats.
When  replacement  parts  are  required,  use
Evinrude®/Johnson® Genuine Parts or parts
with   equivalent    characteristics,   including
type, strength and material. Using substan-
dard  parts  could  result  in  injury  or  product
malfunction.
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 flotation devices,
approved  by  the  U.S.  Coast  Guard,  by  all
passengers   when  boating   conditions   are
hazardous,  and  by  children  and  nonswim-
mers at all times.
Only perform service procedures which are
detailed in this Operator’s Guide. Attempting
to perform maintenance or repair on your out-
board 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   in-
stances proper tools and training are required
for certain service or repair procedures.
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 over-
board.
Maintain your boat and engine in top condi-
tion at all times. Adhere to the Engine Main-
tenance and Inspection Schedule.
Know the marine traffic laws and obey them.
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 des-
tination, 1/3 back and 1/3 reserve fuel supply.
Do not carry spare fuel or flammable liquids
in any storage or engine compartments.
Operate  your  boat  and  outboard  prudently
and have fun. Do not forget that all persons
must  assist  other boaters in case   of  emer-
gency.
Prevent injury from contact with rotating pro-
peller;  remove  propeller  before  flushing  or
before performing any maintenance.
