Positioning Outboard For Storage - Mercury 4C Instruction Manual

Positioning Outboard for Storage

Store outboard in an upright (vertical) position to allow water to
drain out of the outboard.
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.
