DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without ade-
quate ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to accu-
mulate in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide which, if inhaled, can cause
serious brain damage or death.
If the outboard is laid down for transportation or storage,
the oiling system must be primed before reusing the out-
board. Refer to PRIMING THE OIL SYSTEM on page 16.
FLUSHING
You must protect against natural environmental conditions
that can be damaging to an outboard. Your warranty does
not cover engine failure caused by these conditions.
Flush the outboard with fresh water following use in brack-
ish, salt or polluted water to minimize the accumulation of
scale and silt deposits in cooling system passages. The
outboard can be flushed on the trailer or at dockside. Place
outboard in vertical (down) position in a well ventilated ar-
ea.
Temperature and humidity changes during storage period
can cause corrosion of internal engine components.
Winterization prepares your outboard for long-term off-sea-
son storage. During winterization, the engine is “fogged”
and extra oil is used to coat internal engine components.
1)
Place the outboard in an area with good drainage.
Refer to LONG-TERM STORAGE (WINTERIZATION) on 2) Connect garden hose to flushing port.
page 36.
3)
Turn on the water. It is not necessary to run the engine
for a good flushing.
Stabilize the fuel supply. Fuel remaining in your fuel tank
can oxidize, resulting in loss of octane and fuel system de-
posits.
Use Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner to prevent
gum and varnish deposits from forming in fuel system com-
ponents. Refer to FUEL ADDITIVES on page 17.
WARNING
Prevent injury from moving engine components.
Before starting the outboard:
•
•
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of power-
head.
4) Leave the outboard in vertical position long enough to
completely drain the powerhead.
•
Remove the propeller.
NOTICE
If you cannot store the outboard in the
Store fuel tanks in a well-ventilated area, away
from heat and open flame. Prevent escape of liquid
or vapors which could accidentally ignite. Close
filler cap vent screws (if equipped) and be sure
any disconnected fuel hoses do not drip.
recommended vertical position, be sure the cooling
system is drained completely. Never place the
gearcase higher than the powerhead. Any water
remaining in the exhaust passages can run into the
cylinders and cause serious damage.

Marine readers have rated 2010 Evinrude 115 130 150 175 200 hp E-TEC PL PX SL BX HL HX CX MX Outboard Owners Manual 1.0 out of 1.0 based on 1 product reviews. OWNER OF A 2010 E-TEC 130 HP ON A WELD-CRAFT 18 FT BASS BOAT. A TOTAL WASTE OF GOOD MONEY. E-TEC IS THE WORST MOTOR ON THE MARKET. MINE OVERHEATS AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED MANY TIMES. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD TOW LINE IF YOU DECIDE TO BUY ONE.
