Software Control Method
Winterization can also be run using Evinrude
Diagnostics software. With the outboard running,
start the process at the Settings/Adjustments
screen and follow the instructions.
After the outboard shuts itself off, turn key switch
OFF, then detach garden hose.
IMPORTANT:
When finished, leave the outboard
in vertical position long enough to completely drain
the powerhead.
