serious problem. Do not replace it with higher
rated fuse; see your Dealer for service.

oil must be used.
During operation in freezing weather, keep
the gearcase submerged at all times.
Fuse Replacement
Upon removing your outboard from the water,
leave it in a vertical position until its cooling
system is drained. Store the outboard verti-
cally.
IMPORTANT: Use only fuses of the same rat-
ing. Your Evinrude E-TEC outboard uses 10-
amp fuses.

integral speedometer pickup, all water must
be cleared from the hose to prevent gearcase
damage. Refer to Storage on page 34.

ics cover.
Detach fuse from plug by pulling down on fuse
connector clip. Install spare fuse in place of
failed fuse.

board high enough to keep its propeller out of
the water.
