Removal From Storage - Honda BFP8D Owner's Manual

Store the outboard motor either
vertically or horizontally with the
tiller handle side up.
PROTECTOR
CASE PROTECTOR
If it is necessary to store the outboard
horizontally, drain the carburetor
(p. 97) and drain the engine oil
(p. 76), before removing the outboard
motor from the boat.
Fold the tiller handle, and rest the
outboard motor on its case protectors.
Be sure all water has drained from the
outboard motor before placing it on
its side, so no residual water can enter
the engine exhaust port.
STORAGE
Any other horizontal storage position
may cause damage to the outboard
motor or oil leakage.
Cover the outboard motor to keep out
dust. Do not use a plastic sheet as a
dust cover. A nonporous cover will
trap moisture, promoting rust and
corrosion.

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.
