You wade back to the boat at your favorite fishing hole and notice there is fishing line tangled around your boat’s propeller. You tilt the engine up for inspection and to clear the line.
Once the tangle is cleared, you hit the tilt button to lower the engine but nothing happens. You try the front control switch and also the auxiliary tilt switch located on the lower cowling pan.
Still nothing. You quickly check the battery connections and fuses and find everything in order. You switch the ignition key on and off several times and try the switches again – nothing. There is an audible clicking sound of the hydraulic relays, but that’s all.
You’re way across the bay and frustration begins to set in as you see the whole weekend going up in smoke. There is a way to get out of this situation without having to call for Tow Boat U.S. To come get you. (Add to your phone contacts – you may need it for other emergencies.
Boat US 800-395-2628 or call Froggie’s Towing in Port O’Connor at 361-218-2936.) Outboard manufacturers include an alternative to the hydraulic tilt system for this exact scenario and it is called the manual tilt release valve. Mercury has the valve located on the right side of the engine bracket, (viewed as if you are driving the boat or standing behind the outboard motor). The manual release for Yamaha and Evinrude outboards is located on the left side, midway down the transom bracket.
ON ALL BRANDS – This screw is to be turned counter-clockwise to release an upraised engine into a trim position where it can then be operated. One full turn only, most of the time. If your boat is in the water this will be beneath the water line; you will feel the opening and the slot for a flat blade screwdriver, size #2 or #3.
Depending upon your boat’s transom configuration, you might need a stubby screwdriver to access the relief valve with the engine in the lowered position. See the illustration below, courtesy of Power Pole. VERY IMPORTANT! – Do not unscrew the relief valve completely as salt water will be introduced into the trim/tilt hydraulic system and you will probably lose the screw overboard. The relief valve screw is held by a retaining clip and 3/4- to 1-full turn is usually enough to start the engine slowly dropping into an operating attitude.
Be sure to keep fingers away from the area between engine and bracket while lowering manually. You can stop the downward tilting of the engine by tightening the screw. WORD OF WARNING! – Do not allow the engine to drop too far. Raising it back up is not impossible but quite difficult. The idea is to get the engine somewhere within the normal trim range that will allow returning to the dock under your own power for hydraulic repairs. Lowering the engine too far might cause the bow to plow as the power is dialed on to bring the boat on plane.
Failing to lower it enough will cause the bow to rise and the boat will porpoise wildly at planing speed. Becoming familiar with your boat’s manual tilt release system before finding yourself in dire straits on the water is a very good idea. Another good idea is to include a flat blade screwdriver of appropriate blade size and length to access the release valve in your onboard tool kit. You knowjust in case.
Have a great summer fishing and boating season, Chris Mapp Coastal Bend Marine Port O’Connor, Texas 361-983-4841.
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. 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. What propellers do you offer for the Evinrude E-TEC outboards? The Evinrude E-TEC outboards accept our existing line of propellers.
We offer a multitude of different props in both aluminum and stainless steel. The stainless prop line includes the 3-blade SST 2 (painted), the 3-blade Viper (polished), the hi-performance Raker (polished) and the 4-blade Cyclone (polished) and Renegade Bass (polished). 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? 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. 86 ford econovan maxi 4x4 repair manual. 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.
