Using Your Evinrude E-TEC Outboard
Upon start-up, release the key.
If the engine did not start, release the key mo-
mentarily, then try again.
Each time the key switch is turned from OFF
to ON, the warning system will self-test. Refer
to Engine Monitoring on page 44. If the
warning system fails to self-test during start-
up, see your Dealer.
If your outboard does not react normally to
this starting procedure or if it fails to start, re-
fer to Troubleshooting on page 67.
After Engine Starts
Check the water pump indicator. A steady
stream of water indicates the water pump is
working. If a steady stream of water from the
water pump indicator is not visible, stop the
engine. Refer to Engine Overheating on
page 45.
Engine Stopping
Move control handle to NEUTRAL.
Turn key switch counterclockwise to the OFF
position.
Remove the key when the boat will be unat-
tended.
Disconnecting the Fuel Hose
Disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel con-
nector.
