PRE-SEASON SERVICE
Remove your outboard from storage and prepare it
for a season of reliable service by performing a gen-
eral check and a few preventive maintenance pro-
cedures.
Examine all loosened or removed hardware and
any steering, throttle, and shift systems. Replace
damaged or missing parts with Evinrude/Johnson
Genuine Parts or equivalent.
Stop the engine by closing the fuel shut-off valve
and letting the engine run the carburetor out of fuel.
WARNING
Close the fuel tank vent screw.
Failure to carefully reattach the outboard
and its control systems with factory-speci-
fied hardware can result in sudden, unex-
pected loss of boat control.
WARNING
Closing the fuel tank vent screw and fuel
shut-off will prevent explosion and fire due
to gasoline or its vapor escaping from these
normally open places.
With the propeller removed, check the gearcase for
leakage. If leakage is evident, the gearcase seals
should be replaced. See your DEALER.
Anticorrosion anodes — Check condition. Refer
to Anticorrosion Anodes.
Ignition, oil and fuel systems — Check for mis-
placed leads and damaged or deteriorated parts.
Install the propeller unless you will run the engine
on a flusher for your pre-season servicing. If so, in-
stall the propeller after you shut OFF the engine
and disconnect the flusher.
Screws, bolts, nuts — Tighten
any that are
loose.
Propeller — Remove and examine. If damaged,
see your DEALER. Clean the propeller shaft and lu-
bricate it. Refer to Propeller.
Refer to Propeller to install the propeller.
WARNING
Lubrication — Refer to Lubrication to drain and
refill the gearcase and for lubricating points on the
engine.
Prevent accidental contact with a rotating
propeller; always remove it when flushing
the engine.
Touch up painted surfaces and wax the engine’s
exterior. Store the engine on the boat (or an engine
stand) in a vertical, self-draining position.
If you cannot store the engine in the recommended
vertical position, be sure the cooling system is
drained completely.
IMPORTANT: Never place the gearcase higher
than the powerhead. Any water remaining in the ex-
haust passages can run into the cylinders and
cause serious damage.
