ENGINE STARTING / STOPPING
(REMOTE ELECTRIC) - PL AND SL
MODELS
Refer to the Routine Inspection Checklist
on page 44 for pre-launch checks before us-
ing your Evinrude E-TEC outboard.
You MUST supply water to the engine before
attempting to start it. Engine damage can oc-
cur quickly.
WARNING
If you are using a remote control that
does not have start-in-gear prevention,
the outboard can be started while it is
in gear. Protect against unexpected
boat movement by always starting your
outboard in NEUTRAL.
Be sure the water intake screens are below
the water surface.
Connect the clip to the emergency stop/key
switch. Snap the lanyard to a secure place on
the operator’s clothing or life vest — not
where it might tear away instead of activating
the stop switch.
DO NOT advance the throttle before start-up.
Advancing the throttle overrides the electron-
ic idle control system. After the engine starts,
the engine management module (EMM) au-
tomatically increases idle speed slightly. Idle
speed will decrease as the engine warms up.
The engine monitor gauge lights or display
will illuminate if the throttle is advanced.
Turn the key switch fully clockwise to the
START position. Crank the engine no longer
than 20 seconds.

IMPORTANT: In an emergency situation, the
engine will start and run without the clip con-
nected to the key switch. The operator

20 seconds.
Upon start-up, release the key.
If the engine did not start, release the key mo-
mentarily, then try again.
WARNING
Always use the safety lanyard when
operating your boat to help prevent a
runaway boat and reduce the risk of
personal injury or death.
Each time the key switch is turned from OFF
to ON, the warning system will self-test. Refer
to Engine Monitoring on page 39. If the
warning system fails to self-test during start-
up, see your Dealer.
Move the remote control handle to NEU-
TRAL.
If your outboard does not react normally to
this starting procedure or if it fails to start, re-
fer to Troubleshooting on page 54.
