Introduction
Safety Information
DANGER
Contact with a rotating propeller is likely to result in serious injury or death. Assure the engine
and prop area is clear of people and objects before starting engine or operating boat. Do not
allow anyone near a propeller, even when the engine is off. Blades can be sharp and the propel-
ler can continue to turn even after the engine is off. Remove propeller before servicing and
when running the outboard on a flushing device.
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without adequate ventilation or permit exhaust fumes to
accumulate in confined areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide which, if inhaled, can
cause serious brain damage or death.
WARNING
Wear safety glasses to avoid personal injury, and set compressed air to less than 25 psi (172
kPa).
The motor cover and flywheel cover are machinery guards. Use caution when conducting tests
on running outboards. DO NOT wear jewelry or loose clothing. Keep hair, hands, and clothing
away from rotating parts.
During service, the outboard may drop unexpectedly. Avoid personal injury; always support
the outboard’s weight with a suitable hoist or the tilt support bracket during service.
To prevent accidental starting while servicing, disconnect the battery cables at the battery.
Twist and remove all spark plug leads.
The electrical system presents a serious shock hazard. DO NOT handle primary or secondary
ignition components while outboard is running or flywheel is turning.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive under certain conditions. Use caution
when working on any part of the fuel system.
Protect against hazardous fuel spray. Before starting any fuel system service, carefully relieve
fuel system pressure.
Do not smoke, or allow open flames or sparks, or use electrical devices such as cellular
phones in the vicinity of a fuel leak or while fueling.
Keep all electrical connections clean, tight, and insulated to prevent shorting or arcing and
causing an explosion.
Always work in a well ventilated area.
Replace any locking fastener (locknut or patch screw) if its locking feature becomes weak.
Definite resistance to tightening must be felt when reusing a locking fastener. If replacement is
indicated, use only authorized replacement or equivalent.

Introduction
Emissions-Related Installation Instructions
Emissions-Related Installation Instructions
Failing to follow these instructions when installing a certified engine in a vessel violates federal
law (40 CFR 1068.105 (b)), subject to fines or other penalties as described in the Clean Air Act.
A repair shop or person of the owner's choosing may maintain, replace, or repair emission control
devices and systems. These instructions do not require components or service by BRP or authorized
Evinrude dealers. Although an authorized Evinrude dealer has the in-depth technical knowledge and
tools to service Evinrude outboard engines, the emission-related warranty is not conditioned on the use
of an authorized Evinrude dealer or any other establishment with which BRP has a commercial relation-
ship.
For emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair of emission-related parts
to authorized Evinrude dealers. For more information, please refer to the US EPA EMISSION-RELATED
WARRANTY contained herein. Proper maintenance is the owner's responsibility. A warranty claim may
be denied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through improper mainte-
nance or use.
You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the FUEL REQUIREMENTS section of this
manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten volume percent ethanol is readily available, the US
EPA has issued a prohibition against the use of gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol that
applies to this engine. The use of gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol with this engine may
harm the emission control system.
Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Beginning with 1999 model year outboards, manufacturers of marine outboards must determine the
exhaust emission levels for each outboard horsepower family and certify these outboards with the
United States of America Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). An emissions control information
label, showing emission levels and outboard specifications, must be placed on each outboard at the time
of manufacture.
Dealer’s Responsibility
When performing service on all 1999 and more recent Evinrude outboards that carry an emissions con-
trol information label, adjustments must be kept within published factory specifications.
Replacement or repair of any emission related component must be executed in a manner that maintains
emission levels within the prescribed certification standards.
Dealers are not to modify the outboard in any manner that would alter the horsepower or allow emission
levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifications.
Exceptions include manufacturer’s prescribed changes, such as altitude adjustments, for example.

Introduction
Emissions-Related Installation Instructions
9
Owner’s Responsibility
The owner/operator is required to have outboard maintenance performed to maintain emission levels
within prescribed certification standards.
The owner/operator is not to, and should not allow anyone to, modify the outboard in any manner that
would alter the horsepower or allow emissions levels to exceed their predetermined factory specifica-
tions.
Tampering with the fuel system to change horsepower or modify emission levels beyond factory settings
or specifications will void the product warranty.
EPA Emission Regulations
All new 1999 and more recent Evinrude outboards are certified to the EPA as conforming to the require-
ments of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new watercraft marine spark ignition out-
boards. This certification is contingent on certain adjustments being set to factory standards. For this
reason, the factory procedure for servicing the product must be strictly followed and, whenever practical,
returned to the original intent of the design. The responsibilities listed above are general and in no way a
complete listing of the rules and regulations pertaining to the EPA requirements on exhaust emissions
for marine products. For more detailed information on this subject, you may contact the following loca-

Remote Control Networks
Outboard remote control systems provide the
operator with tools for:
•Starting and stopping the engine
•Shifting into Forward, Neutral, or Reverse
•Changing engine speed
•Changing the tilt/trim angle of the outboard.
The remote control system must include the fol-
lowing features:
•Start-in-gear prevention
•Engine cut–off switch with tether cord —multi-
ple-outboard installations require separate start
switches and a single engine cut–off switch
•Connections for engine monitor warning system
Refer to Engine Monitor System on p. 17.
•If a mechanical remote control is selected:
–shift stroke must be 1.125 to 1.330 in. (28.6 to
33.8 mm) between NEUTRAL and FORWARD
–throttle stroke must PUSH for open
Several remote control options, including both
electronic and mechanical systems, are available
in the Evinrude Genuine Parts and Accesso-
ries catalog.
Remote Control System Selection
ICON II Electronic Shift and Throttle
Remote Control Systems
Electronic shift and throttle remote control sys-
tems manage all engine control functions through
a low-voltage, digital data network.
These systems can only be used with outboards
equipped for electronic control, including Evinrude
E-TEC G2 models.
Refer to the installation instructions provided with
the remote control for detailed instructions.
Refer to Diagrams at the back of this guide, for
sample installations.
WARNING
Remote controls must have start-in-gear pre-
vention. This feature can prevent injuries
resulting from unexpected boat movement
when the outboard starts.
Always install and recommend use of an
engine cut-off switch. Doing so will reduce
the risk of personal injury or death should the
operator fall away from the controls or out of
the boat.

Mechanical Remote Control Systems
Mechanical remote control systems typically use
push/pull cables to physically move the shift and
throttle components on the outboard.
A mechanical remote control may be used with
Evinrude E-TEC G2 model outboards, however
an accessory mechanical to digital converter is
required for correct operation of the outboard.
Mechanical to Digital Converter
The mechanical to digital converter converts the
mechanical shift and throttle inputs to digital con-
trol signals used by the engine management sys-
tems.
Refer to the installation instructions provided with
the mechanical to digital converter for detailed
instructions.
Refer to Mechanical Remote Controls on
p. 128.
Remote Control Installation
Refer to Remote Control Installation on p. 28,
and follow all instructions provided with the
remote control.
Use the accessory power connector provided in
the remote control harness to connect any boat
accessories. Accessories connected to the acces-
sory power connector should not exceed 5 amps.
Information Display Networks
Engine Monitor System
All remote controlled outboards must be equipped
with an engine monitor system. An engine monitor
system alerts the operator of conditions that could
damage the outboard.
The engine monitor system includes sensors on
the outboard and oil tank, a warning horn, a dash-
mounted display, and related wiring.
The outboard’s EMM sends information about
monitored functions to:
•Digital gauges and displays.
•a SystemCheck gauge (REQUIRES a digital to
analog converter).
IMPORTANT: Operating the outboard without
an engine monitor will void the warranty for failures
related to monitored functions.
Digital Gauges and Displays
Digital displays are designed specifically for
NMEA 2000 certified Evinrude E-TEC G2 out-
boards. These displays provide enhanced engine
and boat performance information. Multiple func-
tions are integrated into the easy-to-use displays.
Additional displays and accessories can be added
with the plug and play design.
NMEA 2000 digital networks receive monitored
information through a NMEA 2000 buss cable
connection provided in the outboard.
Digital displays may be used with electronic shift
and throttle or mechanical remote control sys-
tems.

When installing a NMEA 2000 digital network,
remember:
•A terminator must be installed at each end of
the network. A terminator kit provides the
required pieces.
•There should be no open or unused network
device connectors.
•The network should be grounded at a single
location only.
Refer to NMEA 2000 Network on p. 20.
Refer to Digital Displays on p. 132.
Reserved Fluid Level Instancing
When installing and setting up fluid level devices
on the NMEA 2000 network, the following
instance numbers are reserved and should not be
used for any other devices.
1. ICON II remote controls: Default settings shown. Can be
reconfigured to monitor fuel or oil levels.
2. ICON Touch digital displays: Default settings shown. Can
be reconfigured to monitor fresh water, gray water, or black
water levels.
SystemCheck and Analog Gauges
SystemCheck gauges may be used with elec-
tronic shift and throttle or mechanical remote con-
trol systems.
If an analog gauge display is used, the NMEA
2000 network transmits monitored information to
an accessory digital to analog converter, which in
turn supplies the information to SystemCheck and
other analog gauges.
A SystemCheck 2 inch gauge or tachometer is
REQUIRED.
