X SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
WEEDY WATER
FREEZING WEATHER
Weeds block water intakes and may cause
your outboard to overheat. Weeds on the pro-
peller 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.
NOTICE
When operating in conditions
under
32°F
(0°C),
Evinrude/Johnson
XD100 oil, must be used.
During operation in freezing weather, keep
the gearcase submerged at all times.
Upon removing your outboard from the water,
leave it in a vertical position until its cooling
system is drained. Store the outboard verti-
cally.
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.
If the outboard’s gearcase is equipped with an
integral speedometer pickup, all water must
be cleared from the hose to prevent gearcase
damage. Refer to Storage on page 46.
SHALLOW WATER
Gearcase damage can occur if the gearcase
is allowed to drag on the waterway bottom.
Use caution when operating in shallow water.
NOTICE
Water remaining in the gear-
Impact damage is NOT covered by the out- case, cooling system or other compo-
board warranty.
nents can freeze, causing serious engine
damage.
UNDER TOW
Should you require a tow from another boat:
HIGH ALTITUDE
Your outboard’s EMM will automatically com-
pensate for changes in altitude. However, if
you boat above 3000 ft. (900 m), you will ex-
perience a slight loss of power due to reduced
air density.

Shift your engine to NEUTRAL;
Tilt its gearcase out of the water;
Off-load all persons into another boat; and
Keep speed slower than planing speed.
If your engine drops below the recommended
RPM operating range at full throttle, have your
Dealer select a lower pitch propeller.
If you return to sea level, have your Dealer in-
stall the original propeller and verify correct
RPM operating range.
DUAL OUTBOARD OPERATION
When in reverse above slow speed, be sure
both outboards are running, even if one is in
NEUTRAL.
If it is necessary to return to harbor with one
outboard not running, tilt the inoperative out-
board high enough to keep its propeller out of
the water.
