Dear New Evinrude E-TEC Owner,Congratulations on the purchase of our industry-leading Evinrude E-TEC outboardengine. Your purchase comes with the full commitment and support of the BRP Outboard team. Your new engine will provide you with years of reliable enjoyment.The many benefits of the Evinrude E-TEC engine will add hours of fun for you andyour family and your time on the water Power and performance An Evinrude E-TEC engine is up to 300 pounds lighter than competitive outboard engines. This translates to faster planing with less bow rise so you can see the openwater in front of you. You demand performance and immediate response. That’swhy instant throttle response and hole shot are so important. The key with EvinrudeE-TEC is that every revolution is a power stroke. That means twice the powerstrokes of a 4-stroke. Plus the computer-controlled engine management system delivers the perfect fuel mix directly to the combustion chamber for hair-trigger response. The natural 2-stroke advantage combined with our super-natural fuelinjection and combustion system means that you will gain up to 23% more torquethan a comparable 4-stroke outboard engine. Simply stated – more torque, instantthrottle response, less weight, and more power – Evinrude E-TEC will deliver.In addition, Evinrude E-TEC engines require no dealer scheduled maintenance forthree years or 300 hours. No inspections or adjustments, no changing gearcaselube, no spring tune-ups – for a full three years, then every three years after that.This means more time on the water for you and your family.History & heritage Evinrude outboard engines are manufactured in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, in a state-ofthe-art manufacturing facility that is less than 30 miles away from where OleEvinrude invented the first outboard engine more than 100 years ago. One hundredyears of life on the water and counting. And, Evinrude is part of the BRP family ofproducts; inclusively, over 200 years of heritage. Powerful brands including legendary names such as Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Sea-Doo personal watercraft andboats, and Can-Am off-road and on-road products. No other company is able toleverage all of their brands in such an effective way to bring consumers the most innovative and expertly engineered products. Only BRP does this.Thank you again for your confidence in Evinrude E-TEC engines.

IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGESThis Operator’s Guide contains essential information to help prevent personal injury anddamage to equipment. Safety messages appear throughout this Guide in the applicablesection.Be careful! Human error is caused by manyfactors: carelessness, fatigue, overload, preoccupation, unfamiliarity of operator with theproduct, drugs and alcohol to name a few.Damage to your boat and outboard can befixed in a short period of time, but injury ordeath, has a lasting effect.–Remember, gasoline fumes are flammable and explosive. Always adhere to thefueling procedure contained in this Operator’s Guide and those given to you bythe fueling station. Always verify fuel level before use and during the ride. Applythe principle of 1/3 fuel to destination, 1/3 back and 1/3 reserve fuel supply. Donot carry spare fuel or flammable liquidsin any storage or engine compartments.–Whenever running the engine, assurethere is proper ventilation to avoid the accumulation of carbon monoxide (CO),which is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, and can lead to unconsciousness,brain damage, or death if inhaled in sufficient concentrations. CO accumulationcan occur while docked, anchored, or underway, and in many confined areassuch as the boat cabin, cockpit, swimplatform, and heads. It can be worsenedor caused by weather, mooring and operating conditions, and other boats. Avoidexhaust fumes from your engine or otherboats, provide proper ventilation, shut offyour engine when not needed, and beaware of the risk of backdrafting and conditions that create CO accumulation. Inhigh concentrations, CO can be fatalwithin minutes. Lower concentrations arejust as lethal over long periods of time.–Avoid standing up or shifting weight suddenly in light weight boats.A WARNINGFor your safety and the safety of others,follow all safety warnings and recommendations.
