Treatment Of Submerged Motor; Procedure - Outboards Group 2.5A Owner's Manual

Treatment of submerged motor

If the outboard motor is submerged, immedi-
ately take it to a Outboards dealer. Otherwise
some corrosion may begin almost immediate-
ly.
If you cannot immediately take the outboard
motor to a Outboards dealer, follow the proce-
dure below in order to minimize engine dam-
age.

Procedure

1. Thoroughly wash away mud, salt, sea-
weed, and so on, with fresh water.
2. Remove the spark plugs and face the
spark plug holes downward to allow any
water, mud, or contaminants to drain.
3. Drain the fuel from the carburetor, fuel fil-
ter, and fuel line.
Trouble Recovery
4. Feed fogging oil or engine oil through the
carburetor(s) and spark plug holes while
cranking with the manual starter or emer-
gency starter rope.
5. Take the outboard motor to a Outboards
dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to run the outboard motor
until it has been completely inspected.
