RPM operating range at full throttle, have your
Dealer select a lower pitch propeller.
If you return to sea level, have your Dealer in-

RPM operating range.
FREEZING WEATHER
IMPORTANT: When operating in conditions
under 32°F (0°C), Evinrude/Johnson XD100
oil must be used.
During operation in freezing weather, keep
the gearcase submerged at all times.
Upon removing your outboard from the water,
leave it in a vertical position until its cooling

however, salt, brackish, and polluted waters
will accelerate corrosion.
Metal-based antifouling paint on the boat or
outboard and the use of improperly installed
shore power in the area of your moored boat
will also accelerate corrosion.
If the outboard’s gearcase is equipped with an
integral speedometer pickup, all water must
be cleared from the hose to prevent gearcase
damage. Refer to Storage on page 32.
WARNING
IMPORTANT: NEVER paint the anode, its
fasteners, or its mounting surface. Painting
will reduce its corrosion protection.
Water remaining in the gearcase, cool-
ing system or other components can
freeze, causing serious engine dam-
age.
WEEDY WATER
Weeds block water intakes and may cause
your outboard to overheat. Weeds on the pro-
peller create vibration and reduce boat speed.
SHALLOW WATER
Gearcase damage can occur if the gearcase
is allowed to drag on the waterway bottom.
Use caution when operating in shallow water.
When operating in weedy water, run at slow
speeds and in REVERSE frequently to clear
weeds from the propeller and water intakes.
Check the water pump indicator often.
IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT cov-
If REVERSE operation does not clear away ered by the outboard warranty.
weeds, SHUT OFF the engine. Remove
weeds from propeller area and water intakes
before operating at higher speed.
