USING YOUR EVINRUDE E-TEC OUTBOARD
SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
SALT WATER
Upon removal from salt water, leave outboard in a vertical
position until its cooling system has drained. During long
periods of mooring, tilt the gearcase out of the water, ex-
cept in freezing temperatures. Flush the outboard, if de-
sired. Refer to OUTBOARD EXTERNAL FINISH on page
52.
Salt Water Lubrication Points
Galvanic corrosion destroys underwater metal parts and
can occur in fresh or salt water; however, salt, brackish,
and polluted waters will accelerate corrosion.
Metal-based antifouling paint on the boat or outboard and
the use of improperly installed shore power in the area of
your moored boat will also accelerate corrosion.

IMPORTANT: NEVER paint the anode, its fasteners, or its
mounting surface. Painting will reduce its corrosion protec-
tion.

WEEDY WATER
Weeds block water intakes and may cause your outboard
to overheat. Weeds on the propeller create vibration and
reduce boat speed.
When operating in weedy water, run at slow speeds and in
REVERSE frequently to clear weeds from the propeller and
water intakes. Check the water pump indicator often.
If REVERSE operation does not clear away weeds, SHUT
OFF the engine. Remove weeds from propeller area and
water intakes before operating at higher speed.
SHALLOW WATER
Gearcase damage can occur if the gearcase is allowed to
drag on the waterway bottom. Use caution when operating
in shallow water.

Anti-Corrosion Anodes
Impact damage is NOT covered by the outboard warranty.
Your outboard is equipped with one or more anodes that
protect it from galvanic corrosion. Disintegration of the an-
ode is normal and indicates it is working. Check each an-
ode periodically. Replace anodes smaller than 2/3 their
original size. See your Dealer for replacements.
