Maintenance
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.
WARNING
Failure to check for fuel leakage could
allow a leak to go undetected, resulting
in fire or explosion.
