WARNING
Propeller — Remove and examine. If damaged,
see your Dealer. Clean the propeller shaft and lubri-
cate it. Refer to Propeller.
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 doesn’t drip.
Gearcase speedometer pickup, if equipped —
Disconnect the speedometer hose at the upper
connection. With air pressure no more than 25 psi
(167 kPa), blow all water from the gearcase speed-
ometer pickup system. Reconnect speedometer
pickup after all the water has been removed.
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.
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.
Lubrication — Refer to Lubrication Points to
drain and refill the gearcase and for lubricating
points on 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.
Oil system — Check for evidence of water in the
oil tank. If present, see your Dealer. If no water is
evident, top off the oil tank. Refer to Fuel and Oil
Section, Oil System.
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.
Disconnected oil hoses — Follow the directions
in Fuel and Oil, Oil System, to reinstall the hoses
and reestablish oil flow.
Undisturbed oil hoses — If the oil hoses were
left connected, no special attention to the oil system
is required.
With the propeller removed, check the gearcase for
leakage. If leakage is evident, the gearcase seals
should be replaced. See your Dealer.
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 Anticorrosion anodes — Check condition. Refer
to Anticorrosion Anodes.
storage period.
Oil system — Leave the oil hoses connected. If
you must disconnect them to remove the engine
from the boat for storage, cap the fittings and plug
the hoses.
Oil tank — Inspect the oil tank for contamination
and/or water. Fill with recommended oil to reduce
or prevent condensation from forming in the tank
during storage.
