Safety information
●Before mounting or operating the outboard
motor, read this entire manual. Reading it
should give you an understanding of the
motor and its operation.
●Before operating the boat, read any own-
er’s or operator’s manuals supplied with it
and all labels. Be sure you understand each
item before operating.
●Do not overpower the boat with this out-
board motor. Overpowering the boat could
result in loss of control. The rated power of
the outboard should be equal to or less than
the rated horsepower capacity of the boat.
If the rated horsepower capacity of the boat
is unknown, consult the dealer or boat man-
ufacturer.
●Do not modify the outboard. Modifications
could make the motor unfit or unsafe to use.
●Never operate after drinking alcohol or tak-
ing drugs. About 50% of all boating fatalities
involve intoxication.
●Have an approved personal flotation device
(PFD) on board for every occupant. It is a
good idea to wear a PFD whenever boat-
ing. At a minimum, children and non-swim-
mers should always wear PFDs, and
everyone should wear PFDs when there
are potentially hazardous boating condi-
tions.
●Gasoline is highly flammable, and its va-
pors are flammable and explosive. Handle
and store gasoline carefully. Make sure
there are no gas fumes or leaking fuel be-
fore starting the engine.
●This product emits exhaust gases which
contain carbon monoxide, a colorless,
odorless gas which may cause brain dam-
age or death when inhaled. Symptoms in-
clude nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness.
Keep cockpit and cabin areas well ventilat-
ed. Avoid blocking exhaust outlets.
●Check throttle, shift, and steering for proper
operation before starting the engine.
●Attach the engine stop switch lanyard to a
secure place on your clothing, or your arm
or leg while operating. If you accidentally
leave the helm, the lanyard will pull from the
switch, stopping the engine.
●Know the marine laws and regulations
where you will be boating - and obey them.
●Stay informed about the weather. Check
weather forecasts before boating. Avoid
boating in hazardous weather.
●Tell someone where you are going: leave a
Float Plan with a responsible person. Be
sure to cancel the Float Plan when you re-
turn.
●Use common sense and good judgment
when boating. Know your abilities, and be
sure you understand how your boat han-
dles under the different boating conditions
you may encounter. Operate within your
limits, and the limits of your boat. Always
operate at safe speeds, and keep a careful
watch for obstacles and other traffic.
●Always watch carefully for swimmers during
the engine operation.

●Stay away from swimming areas.
●When a swimmer is in the water near you
shift into neutral and shut off the engine.

●Be sure shift control is in neutral before

●Do not touch or remove electrical parts
when starting or during operation.
●Keep hands, hair, and clothes away from
flywheel and other rotating parts while
engine is running.

Fueling instructions
WARNING
EWM00010
GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE HIGH-
LY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE!
●Do not smoke when refueling, and keep
away from sparks, flames, or other
sources of ignition.
●Stop engine before refueling.
●Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Refuel
portable fuel tanks off the boat.
●Take care not to spill gasoline. If gaso-
line spills, wipe it up immediately with
dry rags.
●Do not overfill the fuel tank.
●Tighten the filler cap securely after refu-
eling.
●If you should swallow some gasoline, in-
hale a lot of gasoline vapor, or get gaso-
line in your eyes, get immediate medical
attention.
●If any gasoline spills onto your skin, im-
mediately wash with soap and water.
Change clothing if gasoline spills on it.
●Touch the fuel nozzle to the filler open-
ing or funnel to help prevent electrostat-
ic sparks.
CAUTION:
ECM00010
Use only new clean gasoline which has
been stored in clean containers and is not
contaminated with water or foreign matter.
EMU25580
Gasoline
If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.
EMU25680
Engine oil
Recommended gasoline:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a mini-
mum octane rating of 90 (Research
Octane Number).
Recommended engine oil:
4-stroke motor oil with a combination of
corresponding SAE and API as shown
in the chart

CAUTION:

All 4-stroke engines are shipped from the
factory without engine oil.
EMU25700
Battery requirement
CAUTION:
ECM01060
Do not use a battery that does not meet the
specified capacity. If a battery which does
not meet specifications is used, the elec-
tric system could perform poorly or be
overloaded, causing electric system dam-
age.
For electric start models, choose a battery
which meets the following specifications.
EMU25720
Battery specifications
NOTE:
The engine cannot be started if battery volt-
age is too low.
EMU25742
Propeller selection
The performance of your outboard motor will
be critically affected by your choice of propel-
ler, as an incorrect choice could adversely af-
fect performance and could also seriously
damage the motor. Engine speed depends on
the propeller size and boat load. If engine
speed is too high or too low for good engine
performance, this will have an adverse effect
on the engine.
Selva outboard motors are fitted with pro-
pellers chosen to perform well over a range of
applications, but there may be uses where a
propeller with a different pitch would be more
appropriate. For a greater operating load, a
smaller-pitch propeller is more suitable as it
enables the correct engine speed to be main-
tained. Conversely, a larger-pitch propeller is
more suitable for a smaller operating load.
Selva dealers stock a range of propellers,
and can advise you and install a propeller on
your outboard that is best suited to your appli-
cation.

NOTE:
Select a propeller which will allow the engine
to reach the middle or upper half of the oper-
ating range at full throttle with the maximum
boat load. If operating conditions such as light
boat loads then allow the engine r/min to rise
above the maximum recommended range, re-
duce the throttle setting to maintain the en-
gine in the proper operating range.
For instructions on propeller removal and in-
stallation, see page 45.
EMU25760
Start-in-gear protection
Selva outboard motors affixed with the pic-
tured label orSelva-approved remote con-
trol units are equipped with start-in-gear
protection device(s). This feature permits the
engine to be started only when it is in neutral.
Always select neutral before starting the en-
gine.
