Long-term storage

WARNING
Always place the watercraft upright in a
horizontal position when storing it, other-
wise fuel could leak out into the engine or
engine compartment, which could create a
fire hazard.
Storage for long periods of time, such as win-
ter storage, requires preventive maintenance
to ensure against deterioration. It is advisable
to have the watercraft serviced by a Yamaha
dealer prior to storage.
However, the following procedures can be
performed easily by the owner.

the fuel tank with fresh gasoline and add one
ounce of Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer and Condi-
tioner to each gallon of fuel in the fuel tank be-
fore starting the engine.
(2) Clean the watercraft. (See page 82 for in-
formation on cleaning the watercraft.)
Wax the hull with a non-abrasive wax
