Dear Boating Enthusiast,

Congratulations on your purchase of our industry-leading 

Evinrude

 

®

 E-TEC

™ out-

board! Your purchase comes with the full commitment and backing of the Bombar-
dier Outboard Engine team. We know your 

Evinrude E-TEC

 outboard will provide

you with years of reliable use, and we hope you will enjoy using it as much as we
enjoyed designing and building this innovative product.

You can be proud you purchased an 

Evinrude E-TEC

 outboard with the following

benefits.

Easy to Own and Operate

 – This means fewer time-consuming and expensive

maintenance requirements. Your 

Evinrude E-TEC

 outboard has a debris-resistant,

flow-through cooling system, and requires 

no

 break-in, oil changes, oil filter chang-

es, or expensive winterizing. Best of all, there is no scheduled dealer maintenance
for three years of normal recreational use—only common sense pre-launch checks
and periodic checks for corrosion when used in salt-water applications.

Cleaner and Quieter

 – Your 

Evinrude E-TEC

 outboard has the quieter signature

Evinrude

 sound that rivals any competitive outboard. Additionally, this 

Evinrude

E-TEC

 outboard complies with the strictest EPA, European Union, and California

emissions regulations for outboard engines, and its sealed fuel system minimizes
evaporative emissions.

Durability, Quality, and Reliability

 – Your 

Evinrude E-TEC

 outboard utilizes prov-

en, extremely durable engine components, such as pistons made from material de-
veloped by NASA, which are two-and-a-half times stronger than competitive
pistons. There are no belts, pulleys, powerhead gears, cams, oil scraping rings, or
mechanized oil pumps to cause problems. The 

Evinrude E-TEC Sure Start

  

®

 

Sys-

tem delivers easy, quick starts every time, and its full magneto electronics are not
dependant on a battery. All of this guarantees you getting out there on the water
and, most importantly, getting back.

Exceptional Styling

 – We put a lot of thought into the styling as well as the tech-

nology. We know form and function go hand in hand, so we made the hood ergo-
nomically correct—should you ever need to lift it off. The packaging style you will
find under the hood is something that has never been seen in the outboard engine
industry. And with molded-in color, your 

Evinrude E-TEC

 outboard is more resistant

to fading, chipping, peeling, or cracking than any other outboard on the market, giv-
ing you years of a great-looking outboard.

We, as a company, are proud you have purchased this technology-leading 

Evinrude

E-TEC

 outboard engine. We thank you for your business and wish you many years

of enjoyable use.

Happy Boating,

Roch Lambert
Vice-President and General Manager
