Removal From Storage - Honda Marine BF8D Owner's Manual

STORAGE
Store the outboard motor either
vertically or horizontally with the
tiller handle side up.
76
PROTECTOR CASE PROTECTOR
If storing horizontally, be sure to fold
the tiller handle, and the outboard
motor rests 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.
Any other horizontal storage position
may cause damage or oil leakage.
Cover the outboard motor to keep out
dust. Do not use sheet plastic 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.
