Storing outboard motor

When storing your Yamaha outboard motor
for prolonged periods of time (2 months or
longer), several important procedures must
68
be performed to prevent excessive damage.
It is advisable to have your outboard motor
serviced by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to storage. However, you, the owner,
with a minimum of tools, can perform the fol-
lowing procedures.

To prevent problems which can be

caused by oil entering the cylinder from
ZMU02263
the sump, keep the outboard motor in
the attitude shown when transporting
and storing it. If storing or transporting
the outboard motor on its side (not up-
right), put it on a cushion after draining
the engine oil.
Do not place the outboard motor on its

side before the cooling water has
drained from it completely, otherwise
water may enter the cylinder through
ZMU02487
the exhaust port and cause engine trou-
ble.
Store the outboard motor in a dry, well-

ventilated place, not in direct sunlight.
