Fuse

A blown fuse will not allow the engine to start.
Replace it with a fuse of the same rating. A
spare fuse is provided.
Repeated fuse failures indicate a potentially
serious problem. Do not replace it with higher
rated fuse; see your Dealer for service.
In an emergency, the engine may be rope-
started and run, this will not harm the engine.

Remove engine cover. Install spare fuse in
place of failed fuse.
Detach fuse from plug by pulling down on fuse
connector clip. Install spare fuse in place of
failed fuse.

Hull Finish

The condition of your boat's bottom affects
performance. Marine growth or bottom paint-

For maximum performance, keep the boat's
running surface clean by rinsing it with fresh
water and wiping it dry. Apply Evinrude anti-
corrosion spray to any surface subject to cor-
rosion, but avoid the anti-corrosion anode(s).

Outboard External Finish

When trailering your outboard, DO NOT
cover the engine with canvas—it will dull
the finish of the outboard's engine cov-
ers.
Your outboard's upper and lower engine cov-
ers use molded-in color technology, providing
