INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY
BOAT RIGGING
Protective Sleeve/Conduit
Make sure all cables, wiring, and hoses have
been identified and fitted to the appropriate
lengths.
Next, locate appropriate shielding to protect the
components that route to the outboard. An
expandable "flexweave" sleeve or a flexible con-
duit may be used to bundle the cables together as
they enter the lower motor cover.
All Evinrude/Johnson outboards are shipped with
a lower motor cover grommet.
Battery Cables
Evinrude/Johnson outboards are equipped with
premium quality battery cables that should be long
enough for most installations.
When routing battery cables, be sure to:
•
Route cables through the protective sleeve and
to the appropriate location; and
•
Use the most direct path to route the battery
cables to the battery or battery switch.

Fuel Hose
Route the fuel supply hose with adequate slack to
allow for the primer bulb to be held with the arrow
pointing "up" during use.
The fuel hose routing could be the only hose
routed outside of the protective sleeve or conduit.
Electric primers or manual primers may not
require this consideration.
•
Route fuel hoses from boat fuel system to out-
board with adequate slack.
•
Install the primer bulb with the arrow pointing in
the direction of fuel flow to the outboard.
•
Connect the fuel supply hose from the fuel tank
to the fuel supply line at the outboard.
IMPORTANT:
Do not permanently fasten this
connection until the boat's fuel system has been
primed.
