Engine Stopping - BRP Evinrude E-TEC Operator's Manual

USING YOUR EVINRUDE E-TEC OUTBOARD

Move the remote control handle to NEUTRAL.
WARNING
If you are using a remote control that does not have
start-in-gear prevention, the outboard can be
started while it is in gear. Protect against unex-
pected boat movement by always starting your out-
board in NEUTRAL.
DO NOT advance the throttle before start-up. Advancing
the throttle overrides the electronic idle control system. Af-
ter the engine starts, the engine management module
(EMM) automatically increases idle speed slightly. Idle
speed will decrease as the engine warms up. The engine
monitor gauge lights or display will illuminate if the throttle
is advanced.
Turn the key switch fully clockwise to the START position.
Crank the engine no longer than 20 seconds.
IMPORTANT: The starter motor can be damaged if oper-
ated continuously for more than 20 seconds.
Upon start-up, release the key.
20
If the engine did not start, release the key momentarily,
then try again.
Each time the key switch is turned from OFF to ON, the
warning system will self-test. Refer to ENGINE MONITOR-
ING on page 32. If the warning system fails to self-test dur-
ing start-up, see your Dealer.
If your outboard does not react normally to this starting pro-
cedure or if it fails to start, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING
on page 44.
After Engine Starts
Check the water pump indicator. A steady stream of water
indicates the water pump is working. If a steady stream of
water from the water pump indicator is not visible, stop the
engine. Refer to ENGINE OVERHEATING on page 34.

ENGINE STOPPING

Move control handle to NEUTRAL.
Turn key switch counterclockwise to the OFF position. Re-
move the key when the boat will be unattended.
