OIL
FUEL SYSTEMS
Your 4-stroke engine requires oil in the crankcase.
Evinrude/Johnson
ultra 4-Stroke synthetic
WARNING
blend oil is recommended for this outboard en-
gine. It allows for extended oil change intervals and
is best for high load applications. Evinrude/Johnson
ultra 4-Stroke synthetic blend oil delivers ultra vis-
cosity stability, sludge protection, friction reducing
properties, and superior corrosion protection.
If your motor is equipped with a quick-dis-
connect fuel hose, disconnect the fuel hose
from the motor and from the fuel tank when
the motor is not being used for a period of
time. Disconnecting the hose will avert fuel
leaks in the hose or at the engine.
If Evinrude/Johnson ultra 4-Stroke synthetic blend
oil is unavailable, you may use Evinrude®/
Johnson® 4-Stroke outboard oil. This oil provides
excellent wear and corrosion resistance under nor-
mal operating conditions. For your engine’s oil ca-
pacity, refer to Engine Specifications.
IMPORTANT: Fuel distribution hoses in the boat
must deliver fuel at the rate of flow needed by the
engine. Minimum inside diameter of fuel hoses
must be 5/16 in. (8 mm).
Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularly those
that include antisiphon valves and filter/primer
units, may have restrictions that will not allow the
engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient fuel under all
conditions. This can result in a loss of performance
and possible engine damage. If a performance
problem exists, see your DEALER.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow this recommenda-
tion could void the engine warranty if a lubrication-
related failure occurs.
ADDITIVES
IMPORTANT: Only use fuel additives approved by
Bombardier for your outboard. Use of other fuel ad-
ditives can result in poor performance or engine
damage.
To avoid difficulty when restarting, never run the
engine with the fuel hose disconnected or run the
engine out of fuel.
Evinrude/Johnson 2+4® fuel conditioner will
help prevent gum and varnish deposits from form-
ing in fuel system components and will remove
moisture from the fuel system. It can be used con-
tinuously and should be used during any period
when your engine is not being operated on a regu-
lar basis. Its use will reduce spark plug fouling, fuel
system icing, and fuel system component deteriora-
tion.
