WARNING
Propeller — Remove and examine. If damaged,
see your Dealer. Clean the propeller shaft and lubri-
cate it. Refer to Propeller.
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 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.
Engine Oil — Check the engine oil level. Refer to
Crankcase Oil.
With the propeller removed, check the gearcase for
leakage. If leakage is evident, the gearcase seals
should be replaced. See your Dealer.
If you cannot store the engine in the recommended
vertical position, be sure the cooling system is
drained completely.
Anticorrosion anodes — Check condition. Refer
to Anticorrosion Anodes.
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.
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.
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.
Refer to Propeller to install the propeller.
WARNING
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.
Prevent accidental contact with a rotating
propeller; always remove it when using a
flusher to run the engine.
WARNING
Top off fuel tank with fresh fuel.
Follow Engine Starting and start the engine. Let it
idle while you:
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.
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.
Stop the engine and check the fuel system for
leaks.
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.
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.

Marine readers have rated 2007 Johnson 25 hp E4 EL4 4-Stroke Outboard Owners Manual 3.0 out of 4.0 based on 2 product reviews. I would rather you had just asked for a few bucks. This is so annoying. Kick backs and rejecting.
