STORAGE

IMPORTANT:
DO NOT start outboard without a
water supply to the outboard's cooling system.
Cooling system and/or powerhead damage could
occur.

Fuel System Treatment

Stabilize the boat's fuel supply with Evinrude/
Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner following the
instructions on the container.

Internal Engine Treatment

Remove the propeller, attach garden hose to
flushing port and turn on water.
Evinrude E-TEC models are designed to be self-
winterizing using either of the following methods:
IMPORTANT:
If outboard runs above FAST
IDLE speed, turn outboard OFF immediately and
perform the procedure again.
Remote Control Method
•
Shift outboard into NEUTRAL position. Advance
throttle control to 1/2 throttle (50%) position and
start the outboard. The outboard will run at IDLE
speed (SystemCheck lights will illuminate).
•
After approximately 15 seconds (SystemCheck
lights will go off) move throttle control to IDLE
position (SystemCheck lights will illuminate
again). Run the outboard with throttle control in
IDLE position for another 15 seconds (System-
Check lights will go off).
•
Next, with outboard still in NEUTRAL, advance
throttle control to FULL (100%) throttle position
(SystemCheck lights will flash). The outboard
will automatically go to FAST IDLE speed and
begin internal fogging/lubrication.
•
Allow outboard to run until it automatically shuts
off (approximately 60 seconds). Turn key switch
to OFF position.
Software Control Method
Winterization can also be run using the Evinrude
Diagnostics software program. With the outboard
running, start the process at the Settings/Adjust-
ments screen and follow the instructions.
