Water Test and Final
Adjustments
An in the water test is required to make sure the
outboard(s) and boat are rigged correctly, propel-
ler selection is correct, and that all accessories
function properly.
Pay special attention to the following, especially if
the boat is re-powered with new outboard(s):
•
Engine mounting height
•
Jack plate adjustment
•
Correct propeller selection and WOT RPM
•

Fuel system vacuum

•
Engine water pressure/optional water screens
Make all needed adjustments or repairs and retest
before delivery.
When ready for delivery, give all instruction
sheets, operating instructions and user guides
provided with accessories to the owner. Advise
the owner of any special operation or mainte-
nance information contained in the instructions.
IMPORTANT:
Complete the Predelivery Check-
list and obtain owner's signature at the time of de-
livery. The Predelivery Checklist must be kept on
file for seven years.
Engine Mounting Height and Jack
Plate Adjustment
Goals include:
•
Engine RPM within the full throttle operating
range
•
Best acceleration and top speed
•
No excessive ventilation while boat is coming
onto plane.
Start with the engine lower on the transom. Make
a test run, taking note of engine RPM, water pres-
sure, trim level and boat speed.
Raise the engine or jack plate and repeat the pro-
cess until the best acceleration and boat speed
are achieved.

Water Test and Final Adjustments

Fuel System Vacuum
Test fuel system vacuum. Refer to the appropriate
service manual. The maximum inlet fuel vacuum
should not exceed 4 in. Hg. (13.5 kPa) at the inlet
to the fuel lift pump under any operating condi-
tions (IDLE to WOT).
A higher vacuum indicates an excessive restric-
tion in the fuel supply. Repair as needed.

Engine Water Pressure

Check engine water pressure. Confirm adequate
water pressure at all engine speeds and in turns.
If water pressure falls below acceptable levels,
adjust outboard mounting height or adjust out-
board alignment (multiple engine installations).
Trim & Tilt
The trim and tilt functions of Evinrude E-TEC G2
outboards are controlled by the engine EMM.
IMPORTANT:
Activating any trim button while
the key switch is in the OFF position will briefly turn
on the system. This will cause the electric fuel
pump to run and the remote control and any dis-
plays or gauges to turn on. There will be a short de-
lay before the trim system operates. This is normal.
The system will turn off after a few seconds of non-
use.

Tilt Limit Setting

NOTICE
The tilt limit setting will not prevent the out-
board from overriding the adjustment if the
outboard is tilted using the manual release
valve.
WARNING
If the outboard does not clear all boat parts
when tilted fully or turned side to side, safety
related parts could be damaged in the course
of such outboard movement. Injuries could
result from loss of boat control.
