Winterization prepares your outboard
for long-term off-season storage. Dur-
ing winterization, the engine is
“fogged” with extra oil to coat internal
engine components.
Winterization requires a specific proc-
ess of steps.
NNOOTTEE:: The
Evinrude ICON
touch dig-
ital display provides a one-touch win-
terization. See the IICCOONN TToouucchh
UUsseerr’’ss GGuuiiddee.
Closely follow the applicable winter-
ization procedure for your outboard:
– Remote control
– Remote control with foot throttle
You can confirm your outboard enters
winterization mode when the engine
runs at fast idle and:
– The
ICON
gauge will display a win-
terization message (if equipped).
– The
SystemCheck
gauge lights
flash (if equipped).
