Marine Engine Duty Cycles
Your outboard’s upper and lower engine covers use mold-
ed-in color technology, providing a deep, durable gloss
with maximum ultraviolet (sunlight) protection.
The International Council of Marine Industry Associations
(ICOMIA) Standard No. 36-88 specifies a marine engine
duty cycle based on documented studies. A duty cycle is a
profile of engine running and usage. This duty cycle is used
The high gloss finish will show polish marks when viewed
to determine average spark plug longevity and mainte- closely in certain light conditions. This glossing is NOR-
nance requirements for Evinrude E-TEC outboards.

Periodically, wash the entire boat and outboard with soapy
water and apply a coat of automotive wax. Leave the en-

SCRATCH REPAIR
NOTICE
Some running profiles and conditions
can lead to spark plug wear sooner than expected.
Depending on your specific usage, the spark plug
maintenance schedule may require adjustment.
Surface scratches on the upper and lower engine covers
can be polished out with buffing compound.
Treat affected areas using these steps:
1)
2)
3)
Sand the affected area with 800-grit sandpaper.
Wet sand the area with 1200-grit sandpaper.
SUBMERGED OUTBOARD
Using a composite material buffing compound, polish
the area, closely following the product directions.
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.
NOTICE
Your Dealer has the professional
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.
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.
HULL FINISH
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).
