Removal From Storage - Honda BF250A Owner's Manual

OUTBOARD MOTOR STAND
If the outboard motor will be
removed from the boat for storage,
we recommend storing it vertically by
mounting it on a commercially
available stand.
PROTECTOR
If it is necessary to store the outboard
motor horizontally, drain the vapor
separator (p. 88 – 89), and drain the
engine oil (p. 66), before removing
the outboard motor from the boat.
Rest the outboard motor on a cushion
of protective material.
Cover the outboard motor to keep out
dust. Do not use plastic sheet as a
dust cover. A nonporous cover will
trap moisture, promoting rust and
corrosion.
STORAGE

REMOVAL FROM STORAGE

Check your outboard motor as
described in the BEFORE
OPERATION chapter of this manual.
If the cylinders were coated with oil
during storage preparation, the engine
may smoke briefly at startup.
This is normal.
