Routine Service
Storage
Apply Triple-Guard grease to threads of the trim
tab screw. Install and align the trim tab with the
index marks noted prior to disassembly. Tighten
the trim tab screw to a torque of 35 to 40 ft. lbs.
(47 to 54 N·m). For adjustment, refer to Trim Tab
Adjustment on p. 33.
Storage
IMPORTANT: DO NOT start outboard without a
water supply to the outboard’s cooling system.
Cooling system and/or powerhead damage could
occur.
Fuel System Treatment
Stabilize the boat’s fuel supply with Evin-
rude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner following the
instructions on the container.
Internal Engine Treatment
Remove the propeller, attach garden hose to
flushing port and turn on water.
Evinrude E-TEC models are designed to be self-
winterizing using either of the following methods:
IMPORTANT: Engine MUST be in NEUTRAL
throughout these procedures.
Throttle Control Method
• Fully advance throttle control and then start the
outboard. All four SystemCheck lights will turn
on and the outboard will run at idle speed.
• After approximately 15 seconds, the System-
Check lights will go off. Move throttle to IDLE
position. SystemCheck lights will light again.
• Wait another 15 seconds. SystemCheck lights
will go off. At this point, advance throttle to
FULL (in neutral). SystemCheck lights will flash,
indicating that outboard is in winterize mode.
• Outboard will automatically go to fast idle and
fog itself. Allow outboard to run until it shuts
itself off (about one to two minutes).
IMPORTANT: If SystemCheck lights do not
flash, or outboard runs above fast idle, immediate-
ly turn off outboard and start the procedure again.
