STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR

When storing your outboard motor for pro-
longed periods of time (2 months or longer),
several important procedures must be per-
formed to prevent expensive damage.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior
to storage. However, the following proce-
dures can be performed by the owner with a
minimum of tools.
CAUTION:
@
G To prevent problems which can be
caused by oil entering the cylinder
from the sump, keep the engine in the
attitude shown when transporting and
storing it.
G
Do not place the engine on its side
before the cooling water has drained
from it completely, or water may enter
the cylinder through the exhaust port
and cause problems.
G Store the engine in a dry, well-venti-
lated place, not in direct sunlight.
