2011 Evinrude 55 hp MFE MRL MJRL Outboard Boat Motor Owners Manual

   Using The Evinrude MFE Outboard
ENGINE OVERHEATING
ANTI-CORROSION ANODES
The outboard  is equipped  with one  or more
anodes that protect it from galvanic corrosion.
Disintegration of the anode  is normal and in-
dicates it is working. Check each anode peri-
odically.  Replace  anodes  smaller  than  2/3
their original size.  Additional anodes may be
required depending on engine application and
evironmental conditions. See your  Dealer for
replacement anodes.
IMPORTANT: Do not run your outboard with-
out supplying water to it. Refer to Flushing on
page 32.  Water pump  damage can occur  in
just a few seconds.
While  boating, the  outboard’s water  intakes
must stay  completely submerged  and unob-
structed. Observe proper transom height and
tilt angle.  While the outboard  is running, the
outboard’s  water  pump  indicator  must  dis-
charge a  steady stream of water.  Check the
indicator often,  especially when  operating in
weeds, muddy and debris-laden water, and at
extreme trim angles.
Galvanic corrosion destroys underwater met-
al parts and  can occur in fresh  or salt water;
however, salt,  brackish, and  polluted waters
will accelerate corrosion.
Metal-based antifouling  paint on  the boat  or
outboard and  the use of improperly  installed
shore power in the area of  your moored boat
will also accelerate corrosion.

If the engine overheats:
The EMM interrupts the ignition once per 50
engine revolutions to signal the operator.
If the temperature becomes  critical, engine
speed is limited to 2500 RPM.
IMPORTANT:  NEVER  paint  the anode,  its
fasteners,  or its  mounting  surface.  Painting
will reduce its corrosion protection.
The protection  system  must be  RESET be-
fore the engine will operate normally.
To RESET the system:
The engine must be shut off and the correct
operating temperature restored.
IF  the overheat  warning mode  activates  or
the water pump indicator stream becomes in-
termittent or stops, stop the engine and:
1)
2)
Clean the intake screens of any blockage.
Clean  the  water  pump  indicator  of  any
blockage.
3)
Restart the engine and run at idle.
IF cleaning  the  screens and  indicator does
not restore the indicator stream, return to har-
bor as soon as possible.
