spark plug holes and install new spark plugs.
Refer to Spark Plug Indexing on p. 40.
Reinstall all removed or disconnected parts.
Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to:
• Start break-in oiling
• Check fuel pump operation
• Check injector operation (fuel and oil)
• Check timing (once outboard is running at full
operating temperature)
Run outboard below 1500 RPM for one-half hour.
Engine Dropped Overboard
(Running)
Follow the same procedures as Engine Dropped
Overboard (Not Running). However, if there is
any binding when the flywheel is rotated, it may
indicate a bent connecting rod and no attempt
should be made to start the outboard. Powerhead
must be disassembled and serviced immediately.
Engine Dropped Overboard
(In Salt Water)
Follow the same procedures used for Engine
Dropped Overboard (Not Running) and Engine
Dropped Overboard (Running). Disassemble
and clean outboards that have been submerged in
salt water for prolonged periods of time. Clean or
replace electrical components as necessary.
Prolonged Submersion
(Fresh or Salt Water)
Outboards that have been dropped overboard and
not recovered immediately, must be serviced
within three hours of recovery. Follow the same
procedures used for Engine Dropped Overboard
(Not Running) and Engine Dropped Overboard
(Running).
