Operating Temperature

An outboard run at idle speed should achieve a
temperature based on the engine's thermostatic
control. In general, the powerhead temperature
should reach at least 104°F (40°C) after five min-
utes of idling. Check that the powerhead reaches
idle temperature. Refer to SERVICE SPECIFICA-
TIONS on p. 10.
INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY

Idle Speed

Make sure the outboard idles within the specified
idle RPM range. If the outboard is run on a flush-
ing device, the idle speed and quality may not be
representative of actual in water use.

Break-In

When the outboard is delivered, refer the cus-
tomer to the break-in information in the Opera-
tor's Guide.
The Engine Management Module (EMM) auto-
matically supplies extra oil to the engine during
the first two hours of operation, above 2000 RPM.
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to confirm that
the break-in program has been started. Refer to
Oil Control Settings on p. 98.
