SERVICE TIPS
FLUSHING
OUTBOARD EXTERNAL FINISH
If desired, the outboard can be flushed after each use on a
trailer or at dockside while it is vertical.
1)
2)
3)
Place the outboard in an area with good drainage.
Connect garden hose to flushing port.
Your outboard’s upper and lower engine covers use mold-
ed-in color technology, providing a deep, durable gloss
with maximum ultraviolet (sunlight) protection.
Turn on the water. It is not necessary to run the engine
for a good flushing.
The high gloss finish will show polish marks when viewed
closely in certain light conditions. This glossing is NOR-
MAL.
Periodically, wash the entire boat and outboard with soapy
water and apply a coat of automotive wax. Leave the en-
gine cover in place when washing the outboard.
NOTICE
When trailering your outboard, DO
NOT cover the engine with canvas—it will dull the fin-
ish of the outboard’s engine covers.
SCRATCH REPAIR
4)
Leave the outboard in vertical position long enough to
completely drain the powerhead.
Surface scratches on the upper and lower engine covers
can be polished out with buffing compound.
Treat affected areas using these steps:

gearcase higher than the powerhead. Any water
remaining in the exhaust passages can run into the
cylinders and cause serious damage.
3)
Using a composite material buffing compound, polish
the area, closely following the product directions.
NOTICE
Your Dealer has the professional
SUBMERGED OUTBOARD
materials to properly repair scratches. Do not attempt
to paint over marks or scratches in the composite
material. See your Dealer to repair any deep
scratches or gouges.
If your outboard has been under water, have it serviced
immediately upon recovery. If immediate service is un-
available, resubmerge it in fresh water to avoid prolonged
exposure to the atmosphere.
HULL FINISH
After submersion, all boat and engine electrical, fuel, and
oiling systems must be inspected for signs of water intru-
sion. Your Dealer should perform this service.
The condition of your boat’s bottom affects performance.
Marine growth or bottom painting may reduce speed and
fuel efficiency.
For maximum performance, keep the boat’s running sur-
face clean by rinsing it with fresh water and wiping it dry.
Apply Evinrude anti-corrosion spray to any surface subject
to corrosion, but avoid the anti-corrosion anode(s).
SPARK PLUGS
CAUTION
The ignition system presents a serious shock haz-
ard. Use caution to avoid injury from shock or injury
resulting from your reaction to shock. Do not han-
dle primary or secondary ignition components while
the engine is cranking or running.
