Cleaning and Flushing
After each use in salt water or dirty
water, thoroughly clean and rinse the
outboard motor with fresh water.
Touch up any damaged paint, and
coat areas that may rust with
corrosion inhibitor, or equivalent.
Lubricate controls with a silicone
spray lubricant.
Do not apply water or corrosion
inhibitor directly to the electrical
components under the engine cover,
such as the AC generator, the AC
generator belt, or timing belt. If water
or corrosion inhibitor penetrates
these components, they may be
damaged. Before applying a
corrosion inhibitor, cover the AC
generator and belt with a protective
material to prevent damage.
Cleaning
Wash the outside of the outboard
motor with clean, fresh water, and
flush the cooling system as follows.
Flushing With a Garden Hose
Do not run the engine when flushing
the outboard motor with a garden
hose or the outboard motor may be
damaged.
For safety, remove the emergency
stop switch clip so the engine cannot
be started while you are standing near
the propeller.
CLEANING AND FLUSHING
1. Disconnect the fuel hose connector
from the outboard motor.
2. Tilt down the outboard motor.
FLUSH PORT CONNECTOR
3. Disconnect the flush port
connector.
