Edited by Bill Grannis 1) What is my fuel/oil ratio? Johnson and Evinrude carbureted 2-stroke outboards since 1964 require a 50:1 fuel to oil mixture (2%) on engines without an automatic oiling system – 6 gallons of gas to 1 pint of outboard oil. Refer to question #5 for information on oil. Most outboards manufactured before 1964 need 24:1. Fishing motors prior to 1955 commonly used a 16:1 ratio. Refer to question #20 for more information about older outboards. 2) How can I tell my model year?

Every modern outboard has a model and serial number tag or plate on the front of the motor between the transom brackets or on the side of the transom bracket. Very old motors have the numbers stamped into the flywheel or on the cylinder block. You can download a model-year guide at: 3) What is my sparkplug gap? Refer to question 4.

4) What is the correct sparkplug for my engine? The proper sparkplugs and the correct gap specifications are found in your Operator’s Guide, the service manual, or in the dealer’s Parts & Accessory Catalog. If the engine is 1998 or newer, you can consult the EPA Emissions Control Label near the model and serial number tag for sparkplug information. An online factory sparkplug chart can be accessed at, choose MAINTENANCE, then select SPARKPLUGS from the categories. Click on your type of outboard and scroll down to the appropriate engine listing. NOTE: a) Sparkplug cross-reference charts may not be accurate.

Use only the factory recommended sparkplugs for your motor to avoid engine problems and to comply with EPA emission regulations. B) Sparkplug recommendations may have changed over the years compared to what was printed in the original manuals.

Consult the latest Evinrude literature concerning updated sparkplug numbers for your engine. 5) What engine oil should I use? And what is the difference? Johnson and Evinrude two-stroke outboard engines perform best with Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts® XD-100, XD-50, or XD-30 oils which are specifically formulated for your motor. If Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts® oils are not available, you must use an NMMA® certified TC-W3® outboard motor oil. The XD-100 is synthetic oil, XD-50 utilizes a synthetic-blend formula, and XD-30 is conventional outboard oil. XD-100 and XD-50 lubricants offer enhanced engine protection for FICHT, DI, and E-TEC models as well as for outboards operated in high-performance or heavy-duty applications.

In addition, these two premium oils may reduce exhaust smoke when used in traditional outboard motors. NOTE: XD-100 is recommended for the operation of oil-injected outboards below 40°F (5°C) and is required for temperatures at or below freezing. Four-stroke Johnson and Evinrude outboards use Evinrude-Johnson Ultra 4-Stroke Oil® or an equivalent lubricant specified in the Operator’s Guide. For more oil information, go to: 6) Can I order parts directly from BRP? To find part numbers, prices, and to order parts: Go to, choose ONLINE STORE, click on PARTS. Use the pull-down menu to choose which brand, then click on the year and the model number. Refer to question #2 to determine your engine’s model year.

For ordering information: 7) What is the standard prop for my engine? Refer to question 8. 8) What type of propeller do I need? Only the 30 hp and smaller motors come equipped with a standard propeller. Because 40 hp and larger outboards are installed on all sizes and types of watercraft capable of various speeds, one propeller does not work on all boats.

Proper engine operation and longevity are governed by the propeller. The general recommendation is to achieve an RPM in the upper half of the factory recommended operational range with a normal load aboard.

It is up to the dealer or boat builder to furnish you with the correct prop for your boating needs. Consult your dealer for more information on what propeller(s) would be recommended for your application. An Evinrude technical publication explaining how to find the correct propeller is available for download at: 9) What RPM should my engine run? Outboards have a recommended full throttle operational range that is listed in the Operator’s Guide and in the Service Manual.

Typically, the best full-throttle RPM is in the upper half of the operational range and determined by the propeller. (Refer to question #8 for more information) The most advantageous cruising RPM and fuel economy are generally from 60% to 75% full-throttle depending on boat design, engine horsepower, load, and sea conditions. 10) What does my engine weigh? Refer to the Operator’s Guide, the appropriate service manual, or the specification page on the correct year’s sales brochure. Weights are also listed in the NADA® pricing guide.

11) What gearcase oil do I need for my engine? Refer to your Operator’s Guide or the service manual. Over the years, oil types become outdated when improved lubricants replace them. Currently, all manual shift outboards can use the Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts® HPF-Pro gearcase lubricant. Electric shift gearcases, from 1962 through 1972, require Type C or Premium Blend Gearcase Lubricant ®. Small non-shifting outboards, from the early 1950’s or older, may call for a #105 marine gear grease. 12) How much gearcase lube do I need?

New Evinrude 6hp

Refer to your Operator’s Guide or to the service manual for the exact capacity in fluid ounces. Generally speaking, 1 quart is more than enough for a small to medium sized outboard gearcase. For larger outboards, 2 quarts are ample and the remainder may be saved and used later. 13) What is the part number for the water pump kit of my engine? You can look up the parts and prices at or contact your local dealer. Refer to question #6 for more details.

14) What is the correct battery capacity for my engine? Refer to your Operator’s Guide or to the service manual. This is one item where size does matter. Purchase the highest capacity battery you can afford as long as it EXCEEDS the minimum required specifications. An 800 CCA (1000 MCA) group 24 battery should be adequate for any Johnson or Evinrude outboard. 15) How do I get service information for my engine?

Evinrude stocks parts books, service manuals and operator’s guides for 1997 and newer products. They may be ordered through your local dealer or from For 1996 and older models, contact: Ken Cook Company 9929 West Silver Spring Drive P.O. Box 250940 Milwaukee, Wisconsin53225 414-466-6060 16) I need a wiring diagram for my engine – do you have one? Wiring diagrams are printed in the factory service manuals. Refer to question #15 on how to obtain a service manual. 17) Does the part I buy from BRP have a warranty? Standard parts come with a one year warranty.

Certain assemblies, consumables, accessories, and specialized items may have a different warranty. Consult your dealer for more information. Be aware that the parts warranty does not cover incorrect installation, wrong application, abuse, incorrect voltage, submerging, corrosion, modifications, or other conditions not related to a manufacturing defect. 18) What is in the 300 hour / 3 year service for my E-TEC? The 300 hour/ 3 year service interval is for normal recreational boating in fresh water. Salt water environments, high-performance applications, and commercial usage require more frequent service and inspections.

Consult your dealer. A maintenance guide illustrating most of the services needed for a 300 hour/ 3 year interval is published in the Operator’s Guide. A service manual is recommended as it goes into more detail of the servicing aspect.

Contact your dealer who should be familiar with any additional services required that may be unique to your boating area or type of use. NOTE: For outboards beyond the original 3-year warranty and covered under the B.E.S.T. Extended service plan, proof of required 300 hour/3 year services by an authorized dealer is needed BEFORE commencing repairs. 19) Where did the purple wire go on the regulator you sold me?

Originally the purple wire was required to sense the engine’s charging voltage. In 2002, the regulator was improved which eliminated the need for the purple wire. Be sure to secure and insulate the engine’s purple wire as it is not needed with the new style regulator. 20) I found an old outboard motor. What is it worth?

Where can I find parts to get it running? Most older outboards only have a modest value since large numbers were built in the 1940’s, 1950’s, and 1960’s with many still in operation today. Certain models and engines manufactured prior to World War II are popular with collectors and enthusiasts.

Motors with visible damage, corrosion, or missing items have very little worth and are often purchased just for spare parts. For information about vintage motors and obsolete parts contact: Antique Outboard Motor Club P.O. Box 69 Sussex, WI 53089 262-367-6875.

Evinrude E-TEC includes both new technologies and improvements to existing technologies. We've built these technologies onto existing and proven - durable, reliable platforms. For example, our 2-cylinder 40 through 60 horsepower Evinrude E-TEC outboards are built on the mid-section and gear case of the 55 horsepower Commercial series outboards. In fact, the Commercial outboards are the basis for the outboards the U.S. Navy Seal Teams and U.S. Marine Corps Recon Teams rely upon during their assigned missions.

The 3-cylinder 75/90 horsepower Evinrude E-TEC outboards are built on the mid-section and gear case of the 60 degree V4. What does E-TEC stand for? Evinrude E-TEC is the best of both technologies. It provides the quiet, efficiency and cleanliness many customers associate with the 4-stroke outboards, combined with the torque, throttle response, quick acceleration and raw power associated with the 2-stroke outboard.

The technology is considered 2-Stroke, Direct Injection. Evinrude E-TEC in fact, has cleaner exhaust emissions than a 4-stroke, it produces 5 to 10 times less Carbon Monoxide (CO) while idling or trolling. What is the new technology used on Evinrude E-TEC outboards?

Evinrude E-TEC uses several new technologies. The most obvious, when looking at an Evinrude E-TEC outboard, is the fuel injector. It is not a solenoid type injector, like the Evinrude DI models Bombardier began producing for the 2002 model year. This injector design requires less operating current to activate, meaning we are able to use smaller electronics which operate at cooler temperatures. Cooler running electronics equates to durability. The injector has fewer parts and requires fewer tight tolerances, which lowers manufacturing costs.

What about the not so obvious technology? What's not obvious about Evinrude E-TEC is what's inside the engine block. Evinrude E-TEC incorporates pistons made from a new alloy, which was developed by NASA. This alloy has proven to be 2 to 3 times stronger at operating temperature than the aluminum alloys pistons are traditionally made with.

The pistons used in the 40 through 60 and the 75/90 are what's known as 'full-skirt' pistons. The internal design of the block (the intake, exhaust and transfer ports) doesn't require machining 'port windows' into the piston. This combined with the new alloy, increase the piston strength and durability. What else have you done to the internal engine components? As stated earlier, there are improvements too. Just as the electronics in our home & office PC's have advanced and become smaller packages, so have the electronics (microprocessor) in our engine management system. The improvements Bombardier initiated to the Engine Management Module (EMM) beginning with 2002 production, such as a 30% thicker pc board and increased cooling for components, have been designed into the EMM for the Evinrude E-TEC outboards.

Additionally, our Engineering Team has incorporated diagnostic LED's into the housing, allowing basic troubleshooting to be performed without diagnostic software. Vw passat b6 repair manual pdf. A flexible casing and 60% smaller size complete the package and provide a clean, state of the art, under-hood appearance. What have you done to make the engine so quiet? Our Engineers designed a new air intake system for these engines.

The intake system serves to quiet engine noise. An idle air by-pass tube supplies air to the crankcase at low rpm. There are no holes machined into the throttle plates, therefore no whistle sound at idle. Innovative baffling in the air silencer box cancels resonant noises.

Unlike other manufacturers' outboards, there's no distinctive 'pucka-pucka-pucka' sound of an air compressor, or any belt whine, or any cam chain noise - we don't use them. How much do the E-TEC outboards weigh? A battery is not required to run the rope start models.

However, if you have electrical accessories you want to operate and would like to take advantage of the charging system, the capability is already there. In the event of a battery failure with an electric start model, the engine can be rope started and run without the battery. Earlier I read this engine uses an electric fuel pump. It also has an EMM, which is basically a computer. How is such an electrically dependant motor able to start and run without a battery?

Simply put, just like any rope start motor, it generates its own electricity. To make a comparison, lets discuss the electrical system of a carbureted 25 horsepower 2-stroke for a moment. The basic system design has been around for over 25 years. Underneath its flywheel is a single charge coil, which produces the voltage to operate the ignition system. There's also a very small stator to provide electrical power for AC Lighting or optional battery charging and, there's a sensor coil which provides the ignition timing. Since Evinrude E-TEC doesn't need a charge coil or a sensor coil (because these functions are controlled by the EMM), a full-diameter stator which uses more windings compared to the 25 model above, is employed.

Powerful rare earth magnets are used on the flywheel and, by adapting our patented switching stator technology, the stator is able to generate more current at lower rpm. The voltage required to turn on and 'boot up' the EMM is delivered in a few milli-seconds. By integrating pulse width modulation technology (which has been used on electric trolling motors for decades), we are able to power up the electric fuel pump and not put an excessive demand on the electrical system while starting the motor.

The EMM and fuel pump power up take place in the first third of a revolution of the flywheel. The EMM then determines crankshaft position via a sensor which 'reads' the flywheel encoder vanes - all of this occurs within the first complete flywheel revolution. This leaves plenty of rope to pull and provides ample voltage to subsequently fire the injectors and ignition and get the engine running. I read elsewhere on your web site Evinrude E-TEC engines can run up to 50 hours without needing to add oil to the reservoir. How do you define that 50 hour run period?

This is based on ICOMIA studies which have found the average recreational user runs their engine 50 hours per year and, for each hour of run time, they run their engine: 24 minutes @ idle 15 minutes @ 40% throttle 9 minutes @ 60% throttle 8.5 minutes @ 80% throttle 3.5 minutes @ full throttle Therefore, if you idle or troll more than this, you may use less oil, or, if you run full throttle more than this, you may use more oil. What propellers do you offer for the Evinrude E-TEC outboards? When the Auto-Winterization feature is activated, the EMM rapidly cycles the oil injector to 'fogs' the engine.

When the winterize cycle is complete (about 1 minute), it will automatically shut the engine off. Once the engine has turned off, turn off the key switch (if equipped), remove the engine from the water or from the flushing device and allow the water to drain from the engine. Your Evinrude E-TEC is ready to be placed into storage.

The only additional item we recommend is to remove the propeller and inspect the propshaft and seal to ensure there is no fishing line wrapped around it. Current recommendations are to use a minimum of 87 octane, 89 octane is preferred. There is no additional benefit from using higher-octane fuels, in fact they may cause hard starting conditions in hot weather.

If you have an older motor and the owner's manual requires premium fuel, here's why: When these were built, the best oil available was TCW-2 rated, and did not contain the additive package (detergents, carbon preservatives, etc.) which our current oils (XD-30, XD-50 and XD-100) contain today. In that era, premium fuel contained the additive package that helped prevent the formation of internal engine deposits. That's why premium fuels were preferred at the time. Ultimately, in the late 90's the federal government mandated fuel refiners to use the same additive package in all grades of fuel and the premium fuel requirement was dropped.

Can I use synthetic oil my OMC Cobra engine? OMC Cobra's must use straight 30W oils. You cannot use multi-viscosity oil. The additives that are put in multi-viscosity oils cause the oil to break down too fast. This will cause the oil to lose its lubricity characteristics.

Remember, a stern drive engine application is much different than a car or truck - the stern drive engine normally sustains a higher running rpm for a longer period of time than a car or truck ( most cars or trucks cruise 2500 rpm's or less, where a stern drive will run 4000 rpm or more ). Using a synthetic oil is acceptable if a straight 30W cannot be found. The change interval remains every 50 hours! Therefore, given the higher cost of synthetics, this doesn't make them cost effective for use by most boaters.

I have some oil that has been sitting on the shelf for a few years. Is it any good? Can I still use it? Eliminating model year designations will not affect a consumer's warranty coverage.

Warranty coverage will begin at the time an Evinrude outboard engine is warranty registered and according to the date of delivery that is referenced on the engine registration. For example, a 50 HP Evinrude E-TEC engine that is sold and warranty registered in May of 2012 will have a three-year limited, non-declining warranty, regardless of when the engine was manufactured.

Therefore, eliminating model year will not have any impact on a consumer's warranty coverage. For more details on warranty coverage, please refer to your factory warranty statement.

Resale or Trade-In Value. Boat package values are established by organizations like NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) based upon the model year of the boat. This is standard practice for automobiles, stern drive boat packages and many other applications since the engine is viewed as a component of the entire boat package.

With boat values being based completely on the boat's model year, the elimination of model year on Evinrude outboard engines will not affect resale value. When an engine is traded in, the hours of use will determine the trade in value, as hours of use is the marine equivalent to mileage on an automobile. When a significant product change occurs (i.e. When a new model is introduced that replaces a prior version), the model designation will change as needed. By utilizing this process, models with the same code are physically identical, regardless of when they were built. To view the date of manufacture, reference the serial number label that is located on the engine (see example above).

An authorized Evinrude dealer can help you identify the date of manufacture on the engine(s). This is also of particular importance if you are repowering a boat with dual or triple engine applications.
