USING YOUR EVINRUDE E-TEC OUTBOARD
1)
Turn the manual release screw counterclockwise, slow-
ly (about 3 1/2 turns), until it lightly contacts its retain-
ing ring.
The outboard’s shock absorption system does not work
while operating in reverse. If you back into an object, either
in the water or while trailering, your boat and outboard can
be seriously damaged.

If you hit any object:
•
STOP immediately and examine the outboard for loos-
ening of attaching hardware.

steering components.

jects at low to moderate speeds. High speed impacts with
rigid underwater objects like pilings or boulders can be be-
yond the capability of the absorption system. Such impacts
can result in serious damage to your outboard and injury to
boat occupants from the outboard or its parts entering the
boat. Occupants can also be ejected or injured by falling
against portions of the boat as a result of rapid deceleration
following impacts.
• TIGHTEN any loosened hardware.
If the collision occurred in the water, proceed slowly to har-
bor. Before boating again, have your Dealer thoroughly in-
spect all components.
WARNING
When boating in unfamiliar, shallow, or debris-laden wa-
ters, seek information on safe boating areas and naviga-
tion hazards from a reliable local source. Reduce your
speed and keep a sharp lookout!
Failure to inspect for damage after an accident or
striking an object could result in sudden, unex-
pected component failure, loss of boat control, and
personal injury. Unrepaired damage could reduce
your boat and outboard’s ability to resist future
impacts.
IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT covered by the out-
board warranty.
