Protecting Internal Engine Components

• Remove the spark plugs and add approximately 30 ml (1 oz) of engine oil
or inject a five second spray of storage seal inside of each cylinder.
• Rotate the flywheel manually several times to distribute the oil in the
cylinders. Install spark plugs.
• Change the engine oil.
Gearcase
• Drain and refill the gearcase lubricant (refer to Gearcase Lubricant).
Positioning Outboard for Storage
Storing the outboard in a tilted position can damage the outboard. Water
trapped in the cooling passages or rain water collected in the propeller
exhaust outlet in the gearcase can freeze. Store the outboard in the full down
position.
• Store the outboard in an upright position, horizontal with the front of the
engine facing up (tiller handle facing up), or on the port side.
