IMPORTANT: If outboard is installed higher than
normal (anti ventilation plate out of the water), re-
move auxiliary water inlet screen (in front of the trim
tab). Install plate, P/N 5031618, with screws saved,
to prevent overheating and engine damage.
LUBRICATION
Gearcase
Replace gearcase lubricant after first 10 hours of
operation. Check level and condition of lubricant af-
ter next 50 hours of operation. Add lubricant if nec-
essary.
Thereafter, check level and condition of lubricant
every 50 hours. Replace lubricant every 100 hours
of operation or once each season, whichever oc-
curs first. Refill with Ultra-HPF gearcase lubricant.
If not available, Hi-Vis™ or other marine gearcase
lube  can  be  used,  however,  long  term  durability
may be affected with continued use. See your Deal-
er.

Throttle Friction
1)
Remove drain/fill plug and lubricant level plug
from side of gearcase and completely drain
gearcase of old lubricant.
Adjust  throttle  friction  on  your  remote  control  to
maintain its position and prevent unwanted throttle
“creep” under normal operating conditions.
To  adjust,  start  engine  and  move  control  handle
into  FORWARD  throttle  range.  While  underway,
turn adjustment knob clockwise to increase friction.
The  friction   adjustment  is  effective  only   in  the
FORWARD throttle range.
2)
Examine  drained  lubricant  for  metal  filings,
milky appearance, or black color with burnt
odor. If old lubricant has any of those charac-
teristics, see your Dealer. If drained lubricant
is in good condition, continue.
3)
Place tube of lubricant in drain/fill hole and fill
slowly until lubricant appears at lubricant lev-
el hole. See Engine Specifications for gear-
case capacity.
4)
5)
Install  lubricant  level  plug  before  removing
tube  from  drain/fill  hole.  Drain/fill  plug  can
then be installed without loss of lubricant.
Securely tighten both plugs.

up to the correct level.
