Cold Weather Precautions; Checking After Striking Underwater Object - Evinrude B10R4 Operator's Manual

6. Cold weather precautions

If you moor your boat in cold weather
at temperatures below 0˚C (32˚F),
there is the danger of water freezing
in the cooling water pump, which may
damage the pump, impeller, etc. To
avoid this problem, tilt down and sub-
merge the lower unit under the water.
