ber to uncover the holes after flushing the
engine.
3) Remove propeller and place the shift lever
in NEUTRAL position.
4) Connect garden hose to flushing device
and install flushing device on gearcase.
5) Turn on the water. Keep the water pres-
sure between 20 and 40 psi (140 to
300kPa).
6) Start the engine and RUN AT IDLE
SPEED. Flush engine for at least five min-
utes. A steady stream of water must flow
from exhaust relief port of outboard.
7) Turn engine OFF. Leave the outboard in
vertical position long enough to completely
drain the powerhead.
FUSE
On outboards equipped with an accessory
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.
In an emergency, the engine may be rope-
started and run, this will not harm the engine.
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.
Failure to install cover
securely may cause electrical problems.
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).
