HELPFUL TIPS & SUGGESTIONS
Removal From Storage
Check your outboard motor as described in the
BEFORE OPERATlON
chapter of this manual.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may
smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
TRANSPORTING
When trailering a boat with the outboard motor attached, leave the engine in
the normal running position, if possible, and tighten the steering friction bolt
securely (p. 31).
If there is insufficient road clearance in the normal running position, then tilt the
outboard motor, leave the tilt lever in the tilt position, and use a motor support
device, such as a transom-saver bar, or remove the outboard motor from the
boat.
TRANSOM-SAVER BAR
To transport the outboard motor when removed from the boat, secure it in
either the vertical or horizontal position shown on page 56.
