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.
If you remove an "installed" engine, examine all
hardware you loosened or removed from the en-
gine and its steering, throttle, and shift systems.
Replace damaged or missing parts with Evinrude/
Johnson Genuine Parts, or equivalent.
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.
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. Refer to Flushing.
Battery — Remove it, clean it, check its condition
and water level, then charge it. Store it in a place
that’s cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Check the
water level and charge it periodically during the
storage period.
Refer to Propeller to install the propeller.
WARNING
Prevent injury from contact with rotating
propeller; remove the propeller before
flushing.
Portable fuel tank — Disconnect the hose from
the tank. Remove the hose from the engine if the fit-
ting is a quick-disconnect. If not, and the hose is se-
cured to the engine, leave it connected. Secure the
hose to protect it.
Top off fuel tank with fresh fuel.
WARNING
Battery — Charge fully and install. Refer to Bat-
tery.
Store fuel tanks in a well-ventilated area,
away from heat and open flame. Prevent
escape of liquid or vapors which could acci-
dentally ignite. Close the filler cap vent
screw, if equipped. Be sure the discon-
nected fuel hose does not drip.
Follow Engine Starting and start the engine. Let it
idle while you:
Observe running quality – if poor, refer to Trouble
Check Chart or see your Dealer.
Observe water pump operation. Water must flow
from the water pump indicator in a steady stream. If
it does not, shut OFF the engine and investigate.
Refer to Engine Overheating.
PRE-SEASON SERVICE
Stop the engine and check the fuel system for
leaks.
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.
WARNING
Failure to check for fuel leakage could allow
a leak to go undetected, resulting in fire or
explosion.
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.
WARNING
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.
