Using Your Evinrude E-TEC Outboard
Shallow Water
Gearcase damage can occur if the gearcase
is allowed to drag on the waterway bottom.
Use caution when operating in shallow water.
IMPORTANT: Impact damage is NOT cov-
ered by the outboard warranty.
Under Tow
Should you require a tow from another boat:
• Shift the outboard to FORWARD or RE-
VERSE
• Tilt its gearcase out of the water;
• Off-load all persons into another boat; and
• Keep speed slower than planing speed.
Weedy Water
Weeds block water intakes and may cause
your outboard to overheat. Weeds on the pro-
peller create vibration and reduce boat speed.
When operating in weedy water, run at slow
speeds and in REVERSE frequently to clear
weeds from the propeller and water intakes.
Check the water pump indicator often.
If REVERSE operation does not clear away
weeds, SHUT OFF the engine. Remove
weeds from propeller area and water intakes
before operating at higher speed.
