MAINTENANCE
After Winterization
Let engine idle and observe running quality. If poor, refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING on page 38 or see your Dealer.
1)
After the outboard shuts itself off, remove emergency
stop clip / key switch. Do not start the outboard again
after winterization is completed.
Let engine idle and confirm water pump operation. Water
must flow from the water pump indicator in a steady
stream. If it does not, shut off the outboard and investigate.
Refer to Emergency Stop Switch on page 21.
2)
If winterizing on a trailer, turn off water and detach
garden hose. Grease propeller shaft splines with rec-
ommended lubricant, and re-install propeller.
Stop the outboard and check the fuel system for leaks.
NOTICE
When winterizing is finished, leave the
WARNING
outboard in vertical position long enough to com-
pletely drain the powerhead. If equipped, disconnect
the speedometer pickup at the upper connection and
blow all water out of the hose using air pressure of 25
psi or less. Reconnect speedometer pickup after all
the water has been removed.
Failure to check for fuel leakage could allow a leak
to go undetected, resulting in fire or explosion.
SPARK PLUGS
3)
Top off oil tank.
CAUTION
Extra engine oil is used during the winterization proce-
dure. Some excess oil may appear on the skeg below the
gearcase area. This is normal.
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.
Avoid potential oil stains by placing a shop towel or suit-
able container under the propeller and skeg for the dura-
tion of the storage.
Spark plugs should be serviced by an Evinrude E-TEC
Dealer. Incorrect spark plug maintenance can lead to en-
gine damage.
PRE-SEASON CHECK
Prepare your outboard for a season of reliable service by
performing a general check and a few preventive mainte-
nance procedures.
Examine all loosened or removed hardware. Replace dam-
aged or missing parts with Evinrude/Johnson Genuine
Parts or equivalent. Check the gearcase for leakage. If
leakage is evident, the gearcase seals should be replaced.
See your Dealer.
IMPORTANT: Gearcase lubricant is thick and clear. Do
not confuse this with engine oil, which may normally ap-
pear on the skeg after performing the long-term (winteriza-
tion) storage procedure.
Anticorrosion anodes — Check condition. Refer to
Anti-Corrosion Anodes on page 28.
Battery — Charge fully.
WARNING
Do not use a booster battery and jumper cables to
start the outboard. Gasoline fumes can cause explo-
sion and fire, resulting in property damage, per-
sonal injury or death.
Review your outboard’s warning system self-test routine.
During your preseason start-up, make sure the warning
system self-tests properly. If it does not, see your Dealer.
NOTICE
Do not run your outboard—even for a
brief start-up—without supplying water to it.
Following OPERATION on page 19, start the outboard. If
the outboard was auto-winterized, it will smoke for a short
time after the first start of the season.
