MAINTENANCE

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 your outboard motor dealer
nearby, take the outboard motor
immediately to the dealer. If you are
far from a dealer, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the engine cover, 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.
2. Drain the vapor separator as
described on page 151.

4. Remove the spark plugs. Remove
the ACG cover and wind the
emergency starter rope following
the emergency starting procedure
(see pages 85 through 90) and drain
the water from the cylinder by
pulling the emergency starter rope
several times.
5. Pour a teaspoon of engine oil into
each spark plug hole, then pull the
emergency starter rope several
times to lubricate the inside of the
cylinders.
Reinstall the spark plugs.
6. Install the engine cover and lock
the fixing lever securely (see page
60).
