LONG-TERM STORAGE
(WINTERIZATION)
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate
ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to accumulate
in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide which, if inhaled, can cause serious brain
damage or death.
WARNING
Outboard must be in NEUTRAL before performing
winterization. Starting outboard in gear can cause
personal injury.
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.
If winterizing on a trailer, the propeller must be
removed before performing procedure. Failure to
remove propeller can cause personal injury or
death.
NOTICE
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.

Refer to LONG-TERM STORAGE (WINTERIZATION) on
page 54.
Winterization requires a specific process of steps.
Closely follow the applicable winterization procedure for
your outboard:
Stabilize the fuel supply. Fuel remaining in your fuel tank • Remote control
can oxidize, resulting in loss of octane and fuel system de-
posits.
• Tiller control
•
Remote control with foot throttle
Use Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner to prevent
gum and varnish deposits from forming in fuel system com-
ponents. Refer to OPERATION on page 23.
If you are unsure which procedure is right for you, contact
your Dealer for assistance.
You can confirm your outboard enters winterization mode
when the engine runs at fast idle and:
WARNING
•
•
The SystemCheck gauge lights flash (if equipped).
The I-Command gauge displays winterization message
(if equipped).
Prevent injury from moving engine components.
Before starting the outboard:
•
•
•
Shift it to NEUTRAL.
Keep hands, clothes, and hair clear of powerhead.
Remove the propeller.
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 dis-
connected fuel hoses do not drip.
SHORT-TERM STORAGE
Between uses, store your outboard in a vertical position to
allow the cooling system to drain completely. Refer to
FLUSHING on page 52.
