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.
