USING THE EVINRUDE MFE OUTBOARD
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 FLUSHING on page 32.

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.
WARNING
When servicing the propeller, always shift the out-
board to NEUTRAL and remove the clip and lanyard
so the engine cannot be started accidentally.
