USING YOUR EVINRUDE E-TEC OUTBOARD
HIGH ALTITUDE
Your outboard's EMM will automatically compensate for
changes in altitude. However, if you boat above 900 m
(3000 ft.), you will experience a slight loss of power due to
reduced air density.
If your engine drops below the recommended RPM operat-
ing range at full throttle, have your Dealer select a lower
pitch propeller.
If you return to sea level, have your Dealer install the orig-
inal propeller and verify correct RPM operating range.
FREEZING WEATHER
IMPORTANT: When operating in conditions under 0°C
(32°F), 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 vertically.
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 38.
WARNING
Water remaining in the gearcase, cooling system or
other components can freeze, causing serious
engine damage.
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 covered by the out-
board warranty.
DUAL OUTBOARD OPERATION
When in reverse above slow speed, be sure both out-
boards are running, even if one is in NEUTRAL.
If it is necessary to return to harbor with one outboard not
running, tilt the inoperative outboard high enough to keep
its propeller out of the water.

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.
FUSE
Be sure that all active and spare fuses are in good condi-
tion.
A blown fuse will not allow the engine to crank. Replace it
with a fuse of the same rating. A spare fuse is provided.
Repeated fuse failures indicate a potentially serious prob-
lem. Do not replace it with higher rated fuse; see your
Dealer for service.
Fuse Replacement
IMPORTANT: Use only fuses of the same rating. Your
Evinrude E-TEC outboard uses 10-amp fuses.
Remove engine cover. Remove the electronics cover.
Detach fuse from plug by pulling down on fuse connector
clip. Install spare fuse in place of failed fuse.
