Whenever running the engine, assure there is
proper ventilation to avoid the accumulation of
carbon monoxide (CO), which is odorless, col-
orless, and tasteless, and can lead to uncon-
sciousness, brain damage, or death if inhaled
in sufficient concentrations. CO accumulation
can occur while docked, anchored, or under-
way, 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 other boats, provide proper ventilation, shut
off your engine when not needed, and be
aware of the risk of backdrafting and condi-
tions that create CO accumulation. In high
concentrations, CO can be fatal within min-
utes. Lower concentrations are just as lethal
over long periods 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. Fail-
ure to correctly install the outboard could re-
sult 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 personal injury or property damage.
Also be alert for debris and objects in the wa-
ter.
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.
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 obstructions.
Contact with underwater obstructions may re-
sult in loss of control and personal injury.
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 substandard
parts could result in injury or product malfunc-
tion.
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 pas-
sengers when boating conditions are hazard-
ous, and by children and nonswimmers 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 per-
sonal injury or death. Further information can
be obtained from your authorized Evinrude/
Johnson Dealer. In many instances proper
tools and training are required for certain ser-
vice 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 condition
at all times. Adhere to the Engine Mainte-
nance 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 emergen-
cy.
Prevent injury from contact with rotating pro-
peller; remove propeller before flushing or be-
fore performing any maintenance.
