About This Guide
This Operator’s Guide is an essential part of
your Evinrude E-TEC G2 outboard. It con-
tains pertinent information which, if followed,
will provide you with a thorough understand-
ing needed for proper operation, mainte-
nance, care, and—above all—safety. Safety
is our first priority and it should be yours too.
It is strongly recommended you read this
Guide from cover to cover. The more you
know and understand about your Evinrude
E-TEC G2 outboard, the greater the safety
and pleasure you will get from using it. Follow-
ing this recommendation will assure the com-
pleteness of the information essential to your
safety, the safety of any passengers, and oth-
er water users.
This Operator’s Guide identifies important
safety messages.
Although the mere reading of such informa-
tion does not eliminate the hazard, the under-
standing and application of the information
will promote the correct use of your outboard
engine.
This Guide should be kept in a waterproof bag
with the outboard at all times during opera-
tion. If the product ownership is transferred,
this Guide should be forwarded to the new
owners.
A responsible, educated boater will fully ap-
preciate the pleasures of boating and will be a
safe boater. Boating Safety Classes are con-
ducted by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, the
