Service
Hull Finish
The condition of your boat’s bottom affects
performance. Marine growth or bottom paint-
ing may reduce speed and fuel efficiency.
For maximum performance, keep the boat’s
running surface clean by rinsing it with fresh
water and wiping it dry. Apply Evinrude anti-
corrosion spray to any surface subject to cor-
rosion, but avoid the anti-corrosion anode(s).
Outboard External Finish
Periodically, wash the entire boat and out-
board with soapy water and apply a coat of
automotive wax. Leave the engine cover in
place when washing the outboard.
Scratch Repair
Surface scratches on the upper and lower en-
gine covers can be painted.
IMPORTANT: Your Dealer has the profes-
sional materials and matching paint colors to
properly repair scratches. See your Dealer to
repair any deep scratches or gouges.
Spark Plugs
Spark plugs should be serviced by an Evin-
rude E-TEC Dealer. Incorrect spark plug
maintenance can lead to engine damage.
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.
Submerged Outboard
If your outboard has been under water, have
it serviced immediately upon recovery. If
immediate service is unavailable, resub-
merge it in fresh water to avoid prolonged ex-
posure to the atmosphere.
After submersion, all boat and engine electri-
cal, fuel, and oiling systems must be inspect-
ed for signs of water intrusion. Your Dealer
should perform this service.
NOTICE
When trailering your outboard, DO NOT
cover the engine with canvas—it will dull
the finish of the outboard’s engine cov-
ers.
CAUTION
The ignition system presents a serious
shock hazard. Use caution to avoid
injury from shock or injury resulting
from your reaction to shock. Do not han-
dle primary or secondary ignition com-
ponents while the engine is cranking or
running.
NOTICE
Replacement spark plugs MUST be
indexed correctly.
NOTICE
Some running profiles and conditions
can lead to spark plug wear sooner than
expected. Depending on your specific
usage, the spark plug maintenance
schedule may require adjustment.
