Fuel System Vacuum; Engine Water Pressure; Trim & Tilt; Tilt Limit Setting - BRP Evinrude E-TEC G2 Service Manual

Fuel System Vacuum

Test fuel system vacuum. Refer to Fuel Lift Pump
Vacuum Test on p. 163. 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
conditions (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 alignment (multiple engine instal-
lations.
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

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.
WARNING
Adjusting the tilt limit will NOT prevent the
outboard from tilting fully and contacting the
motor well if the gearcase hits an object at
high speed. Such contact could damage the
outboard and boat and injure boat occupants.
NOTICE
The tilt limit setting will not prevent the out-
board from overriding the adjustment if the
outboard is tilted manually.
Check the tilt limit on all new outboard installa-
tions.
Check the clearance between outboard(s) and the
boat's motor well and transom area. Tilt out-
board(s) to highest point of clearance and turn the
steering system lock to lock.
If the outboard contacts the boat's motor well
when fully tilted, set the tilt limit to reduce full-tilt
position.
To prevent damage to equipment, provide addi-
tional motor well clearance when needed. Con-
sider either changing the outboard mounting
position or modifying the boat if the possibility for
interference and damage exists.
Manual Method
You MUST use the trim switch on the starboard
engine cover to set the tilt limit with this method.
Tilt the engine up to the desired maximum tilt posi-
tion.
Then, simultaneously press and hold for at least
three seconds, both the up and down trim buttons.
1. Press and hold for at least three seconds, both the
up and down trim buttons
Check your adjustment — tilt the outboard fully
and adjust further, if necessary. Check after each
adjustment.
