Gear Oil Level/Check
1. Position the outboard motor verti-
cally.
2. Remove the level plug and see if oil
flows out. If no oil flows out, fill
through the drain plug hole until the
oil starts to flow out through the level
plug hole. If there is water in the oil,
the water will flow out first when the
drain plug is removed, or the oil will
be milky colored. If the oil appears
abnormal contact your closest
authorized Honda Marine dealer.
GEAR OIL BOTTLE
A gear oil bottle is recommended to
fill the gear case.
The end of the drain plug is a mag-
net. Remove all metal particles from
the end of the drain plug before
reinstalling. Do not reinstall the drain
plug in the level plug hole.
3. Use new sealing washers and rein-
stall the level plug and drain plug
securely.
