Carrying Outboard

The outboard has a carrying handle located in front.

Transporting Outboard When Removed From Boat

1. With the outboard still in the water, close the fuel shut‑off valve and run
engine until it stops. The running engine will consume remaining fuel in
the carburetor.
2. Close the fuel tank vent.
3. Remove the outboard from the boat and hold upright until all cooling water
has drained out.
4. Lay the outboard down on its back side so the tiller handle is facing up, as
shown. Place a protective pad under the outboard.
