Inspect After Operating
1. Stop the engine and remove the
engine cover (see page 56).
2. Confirm the cooling water leakage
from the engine.
Submerged Outboard Motor
A submerged outboard motor must be
serviced immediately after it is
recovered from the water in order to
minimize corrosion.
If there is a TOHATSU outboard
motor dealership nearby, take the
outboard motor immediately to the
dealer. If you are far from a
dealership, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the engine cover (see page
56), and rinse the outboard motor
with fresh water to remove salt
water, sand, mud, etc.
If the outboard motor was running
when it submerged, there may be
mechanical damage, such as bent
connecting rods. If the engine binds
when cranked, do not attempt to
run the outboard motor until it has
been repaired.

MAINTENANCE
2. Change the engine oil (see page
116).
3. Remove the spark plugs (see page
118). Operate the starter to expel
water from the engine's cylinder.
4. Put a teaspoon of engine oil into
each spark plug hole to lubricate
the inside of the cylinders.
Reinstall the spark plugs.
5. Install the engine cover and lock
the latch securely (see page 56).
