SPARK PLUGS
Spark plugs should be serviced by an
Evinrude E-TEC Dealer. Incorrect spark plug
maintenance can lead to engine damage.
Replacement spark plugs
MUST be indexed correctly.
Marine Engine Duty Cycles
The International Council of Marine Industry
Associations (ICOMIA) Standard No. 36-88
specifies a marine engine duty cycle based on
documented studies. A duty cycle is a profile
of engine running and usage. This duty cycle
is used to determine average spark plug lon-
gevity and maintenance requirements for
Evinrude E-TEC outboards.
Some running profiles and
conditions can lead to spark plug wear
sooner than expected. Depending on your
specific usage, the spark plug mainte-
nance schedule may require adjustment.
FUSE
Fuse Replacement
Use only fuses of the same
rating. Your Evinrude E-TEC outboard
uses 10-amp fuses.
Remove engine cover. Install spare fuse in
place of failed fuse.

CAUTION
The ignition system presents a seri-
ous shock hazard. Use caution to
avoid injury from shock or injury
resulting from your reaction to
shock. Do not handle primary or
secondary ignition components
while the engine is cranking or run-
ning.

NOTICE
NOTICE
On outboards equipped with an accesso-
ry electric starter, a blown fuse will not allow
the engine to start. Replace it with a fuse of
the same rating. A spare fuse is provided.
Repeated fuse failures indicate a potentially
serious problem. Do not replace it with higher
rated fuse; see your Dealer for service.
