WATER PRESSURE
An optional water pressure gauge is recommended
to monitor cooling system pressures. Noticing
changes in water pressure can help prevent engine
overheating. The water pressure gauge must be
connected at the correct point to ensure the most
accurate pressure readings. Follow the installation
instructions included with the water pressure
gauge:
FUEL LINE FILTER
Refer to Engine Maintenance and Inspection
Schedule for frequency.
An Authorized
Evinrude/Johnson
DEALER should
service the fuel filter.
IMPORTANT: A restricted fuel delivery system will
not allow the engine fuel pump to deliver sufficient
fuel under all conditions. This can result in loss of
performance and possibly engine damage.
FUSES
IMPORTANT: Always carry spare fuses. Use the
spare fuse holder to hold an extra fuse. Refer to En-
gine Specifications.

Fuse Failure
A minor electrical problem can blow a fuse. Re-
place it with a fuse of the same rating.
Repeated failures of fuses in the same position in-
dicate a serious problem. Do not replace it with
higher rated fuses; see your DEALER for service.
