Dear Boating Enthusiast,

Congratulations on your purchase of our industry-leading Evinrude ® E-TEC™ out-


board! Your purchase comes with the full commitment and backing of the Bombar-
dier Recreational Products Outboard Engine team. We know your Evinrude E-TEC
outboard will provide you with years of reliable use, and we hope you will enjoy using
it as much as we enjoyed designing and building this innovative product.

You can be proud you purchased an Evinrude E-TEC outboard with the following
benefits.
• Easy to Own and Operate – This means fewer time-consuming and expensive
maintenance requirements. Your Evinrude E-TEC outboard has a debris-resistant,
flow-through cooling system, and requires no break-in, oil changes, oil filter chang-
es, or expensive winterizing. The electronics system even protects the starter mo-
tor from accidental engagement. Best of all, there is no scheduled dealer
maintenance for three years of normal recreational use—only common sense pre-
launch checks and periodic checks for corrosion when used in salt-water applica-
tions.
• Cleaner and Quieter – Your Evinrude E-TEC outboard has the quieter signature
Evinrude sound that rivals any competitive outboard. Additionally, this Evinrude
E-TEC outboard complies with the strictest EPA, European Union, and California
emissions regulations for outboard engines, and its sealed fuel system minimizes
evaporative emissions.
• Durability, Quality, and Reliability – Your Evinrude E-TEC outboard utilizes prov-
en, extremely durable engine components, such as pistons made from material de-
veloped by NASA, which are two-and-a-half times stronger than competitive
pistons. There are no belts, pulleys, powerhead gears, cams, oil scraping rings, or
mechanized oil pumps to cause problems. The Evinrude E-TEC E-Start System
delivers easy, quick starts every time, and its full magneto electronics are not de-
pendant on a battery. All of this guarantees you getting out there on the water and,
most importantly, getting back.
• Exceptional Styling – We put a lot of thought into the styling as well as the tech-
nology. We know form and function go hand in hand, so we made the hood ergo-
nomically correct—should you ever need to lift it off. The packaging style you will
find under the hood is something that has never been seen in the outboard engine
industry. And with this unique character and design, your Evinrude E-TEC outboard
is recognizable from near and far.

We, as a company, are proud you have purchased this technology-leading Evinrude
E-TEC outboard engine. We thank you for your business and wish you many years
of enjoyable use.
Happy Boating,

Roch Lambert
Vice President, General Manager

You must protect against natural environmen-


tal conditions that can be damaging to an out-
board. Temperature and humidity changes
while your outboard is not in use can cause
corrosion of internal engine parts when they
are not protected. Fuel remaining in your fuel
tank can oxidize which can result in loss of oc-
tane and can cause gum deposits in the fuel
system. Your warranty does not cover engine
failure caused by these conditions.

PRODUCT WARRANTY INFORMATION


BOMBARDIER RECREATIONAL PRODUCTS
LIMITED WARRANTY FOR 2007 EVINRUDE OUTBOARD ENGINES
SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
1. SCOPE OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY
Bombardier Recreational Products (“BRP”) warrants its 2007 Evinrude® outboard engines sold by authorized Evinrude
dealers in the fifty United States and Canada (“Product”) from defects in material or workmanship for the period and under
the conditions described below.

2. WARRANTY COVERAGE PERIOD


This limited warranty will be in effect from the date of purchase by the first retail consumer or the date the Product is first
put to use, whichever occurs first, for a period of:
THIRTY-SIX (36) CONSECUTIVE MONTHS for private, recreational use; or
TWELVE (12) CONSECUTIVE MONTHS for commercial use, except that emission-related components providing input
to emission controls (e.g. sensors) are warranted for twenty-four (24) months or two hundred (200) hours of engine use,
whichever occurs first. The Product is used commercially when it is used in connection with any work or employment that
generates income, during any part of the warranty period. The Product is also used commercially when, at any point dur-
ing the warranty period, it is installed on a boat that has commercial tags or is licensed for commercial use.
The repair or replacement of parts or the performance of service to Product under this warranty does not extend the life
of this limited warranty beyond its original expiration date. All Evinrude/Johnson® Genuine Parts and accessories in-
stalled by an authorized dealer at the time of sale, including but not limited to propellers, bear the standard BRP parts
and accessories one-year limited warranty.
California residents who purchased or warranty-registered a Product in California should refer to BRP’s California Emis-
sions Control Warranty Statement.

3. CONDITIONS TO HAVE WARRANTY COVERAGE


This warranty coverage is available only on Evinrude outboard engines purchased as new and unused from a dealer au-
thorized to distribute Evinrude products in the country in which the sale occurred (“Dealer”), and then only after the BRP
specified pre-delivery inspection process has been completed and documented by the purchaser and Dealer. Warranty
coverage only becomes available upon proper registration of Product by Dealer or owner.
Only the original purchaser and any subsequent owners who reside in the United States and Canada and have pur-
chased Product from a U.S. or Canadian Dealer are eligible for warranty registration and warranty coverage hereunder.
Such limitations are necessary in order to allow BRP to protect the safety of its products, its consumers, and the general
public.
As outlined in the Operator's Guide, timely routine required maintenance must be performed to maintain warranty cover-
age. BRP may require proof of proper maintenance prior to authorizing warranty coverage.

4. WHAT TO DO TO OBTAIN WARRANTY COVERAGE


The registered owner must notify an authorized Dealer within two (2) days of the appearance of a defect. Owner must
bring Product, including any defective part therein, to Dealer promptly after the appearance of the defect, and in any
event, within the warranty period, and must provide Dealer with reasonable opportunity to repair the defect. The expenses
of transporting Product to and from Dealer for warranty service are to be borne by the owner.
If the Product has not previously been registered, the owner may also be required to present proof of purchase to Dealer
for warranty repairs. Owner is required to sign the repair/work order prior to the start of the repair in order to validate the
warranty repair.
All parts replaced under this warranty become the property of BRP.

5. WHAT BRP WILL DO


BRP's obligations under this warranty are limited to, at its sole discretion, repairing or replacing parts of Product found to
be defective in material or workmanship, in the reasonable judgment of BRP. Such repair or replacement of parts will be
done without charge for parts and labor, at any authorized Dealer. BRP's responsibility is limited to making the required
repairs or replacements of parts with new or BRP-certified re-manufactured parts. No claim of breach of warranty shall
be cause for cancellation or rescission of the sale of Product to owner.
In the event that warranty service is required outside of the fifty United States or Canada, owner will bear responsibility
for any additional charges due to local practices and conditions, such as, but not limited to, freight, insurance, taxes, li-
cense fees, import duties, and any and all other financial charges, including those levied by governments, states, territo-
ries and their respective agencies.
BRP reserves the right to improve, modify or change Products from time to time without assuming any obligation to modify
Products previously manufactured.

dards. Engines meeting these standards have 20% lower emissions than One Star – Low Emission en-
gines.
Three Stars – Ultra Low Emission

Product Information
The emission warranty covers damage to other engine components that is caused by the failure of a war-
ranted part.
The BRP Operator's Guide provided contains written instructions for the proper maintenance and use of
your outboard. All emission warranty parts are warranted by BRP for the entire warranty period of the out-
board, unless the part is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Operator's Guide.
Emission warranty parts that are scheduled for replacement, as required maintenance, are warranted by
BRP for the period of time before the first scheduled replacement date for that part. Emission warranty
parts that are scheduled for regular inspection but not regular replacement are warranted by BRP for the
entire warranty period of the outboard. Any emission warranty part repaired or replaced under the terms
of this warranty statement is warranted by BRP for the remainder of the warranty period of the original
part. All parts replaced under this limited warranty become the property of BRP.
Maintenance receipts and records should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the outboard.
Owner's Warranty Responsibilities
As the outboard owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your
Operator's Guide. BRP recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your outboard,
but BRP cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of
all scheduled maintenance.
As the outboard owner, you should however be aware that BRP may deny you warranty coverage if your
outboard or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your outboard to an authorized BRP dealer as soon as a problem ex-
ists. The warranty repairs will be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No dealer-scheduled maintenance for the first three years of normal recreational use? Really?
• Yes! Bombardier Recreational Products knows you want to spend your time on the water,
not servicing your Evinrude E-TEC outboard. There are no valves to adjust, belts to service,
chains to replace, or oil to change. We do recommend pre-launch inspections of your out-
board at each use and at regular intervals. Salt water applications require minimal additional
inspections and lubrication.

What fuel octane is recommended for my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?


• Evinrude E-TEC outboards require a minimum octane of 87 (U.S.). Use of higher octane fu-
els is not harmful, but also not necessary.

What kind of oil does my Evinrude E-TEC outboard require?


• Any TC-W3RL oil may be used. The outboard can be programmed by your Dealer to run on
Evinrude/Johnson XD100 oil for lower oil consumption and reduced operating cost. Refer to

ing to properly service your outboard. Contact BRP for an authorized Evinrude E-TEC dealer
near you.

• Yes. When replacement parts are required, use Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts or parts
with equivalent characteristics, including type, strength, and material. Using substandard
parts could result in injury or product malfunction. Your dealer can order the parts and ac-
cessories you desire.

Do I need to complete any paperwork when I move or sell my Evinrude E-TEC outboard?
• Yes. In order to maintain contact with you or the new Evinrude E-TEC owner, BRP requests
