Cold And Freezing Weather; Shallow Water; Under Tow - Evinrude E25RSES Operator's Manual

COLD AND FREEZING WEATHER

IMPORTANT: When operating in conditions
under 40°F (4°C), Evinrude/Johnson XD100
oil is recommended. When operating in condi-
tions 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 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 51.
CAUTION
Water remaining in the gearcase, cool-
ing system or other components can
freeze, causing serious engine dam-
age.

PECIAL

SHALLOW WATER

Gearcase damage can occur if the gearcase
is allowed to drag on the waterway bottom.
Use caution when operating in shallow water.
IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT cov-
ered by the outboard warranty.

UNDER TOW

Should you require a tow from another boat:
• 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.
