Gearcase Removal and Installation
Disconnect the shift actuator cable from the
engine harness.
CAUTION
Gearcase lubricant may be under pressure
and/or hot if outboard was recently operated
or if gearcase lubricant is above the Maxi-
mum level.
Wear safety glasses and take precautions to
avoid injury when removing vent hose from
reservoir upper fitting.
Turn the reservoir horizontal with the hose fittings
facing upward as shown. Then remove the vent
hose from the upper fitting to relieve gearcase
pressure.
Remove the clamp from the gearcase oil reservoir
hose. Then remove the hose from the gearcase

Gearcase Installation
During service, the outboard may drop unex-
pectedly. Avoid personal injury; always sup-
port the outboards weight with a suitable
hoist or the trailering lever during service.
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software (version
6.1 or later) to calibrate the shift actuator
when installing a new gearcase or a new shift
actuator. Failure to calibrate the shift actuator
can result in damage to the shift actuator.
Coat the splines of the upper and lower drivesh-
afts with Moly Lube.
