PRE-SEASON CHECK
Prepare your outboard for a season of reliable
service by performing a general check and a
few preventive maintenance procedures.
Examine all loosened or removed hardware.
Replace damaged or missing parts with
Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or equiva-
lent. Check the gearcase for leakage. If leak-
age is evident, the gearcase seals should be
replaced. See your Dealer.
IMPORTANT: Do not run your outboard—
even for a brief start-up—without supplying
water to it. Refer to Flushing on page 48.
Following Operation on page 21, start the
outboard. If the outboard was auto-winter-
ized, it will smoke for a short time after the first
start of the season.
Let engine idle and observe running quality. If
poor, refer to Troubleshooting on page 54 or
see your Dealer.
Let engine idle and confirm water pump oper-
ation. Water must flow from the water pump
indicator in a steady stream. If it does not,
shut off the outboard and investigate. Refer to
Engine Overheating on page 41.
Stop the outboard and check the fuel system
Anticorrosion anodes — Check condition. for leaks.
IMPORTANT: Gearcase lubricant is thick
and clear. Do not confuse this with engine oil,
which may normally appear on the skeg after
performing the long-term (winterization) stor-
age procedure.
Refer to Anti-Corrosion Anodes on page
42.
WARNING
Battery — Charge fully. Refer to Battery -
Electric Start Models on page 58.
Failure to check for fuel leakage could
allow a leak to go undetected, resulting
in fire or explosion.
WARNING
Do not use a booster battery and
jumper cables to start the outboard.
Gasoline fumes can cause explosion
and fire, resulting in property damage,
personal injury or death.
Review your outboard’s warning system self-
test routine. During your preseason start-up,
make sure the warning system self-tests
properly. If it does not, see your Dealer.
