Do not leave the garden-hose connector
loose on the bottom cowling fitting or let
the hose hang free during normal opera-
tion. Water will leak out of the connector
instead of cooling the engine, which can
cause serious overheating. Be sure the
connector is tightened securely on the fit-
ting after flushing the engine.
NOTE:
8 When flushing the engine with the boat
in the water, tilting up the engine until it
is completely out of the water will
achieve better results.
8 Refer
to
cooling

STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR".

Checking Painted Surface of Motor
Check the motor for scratches, nicks, or
flaking paint. Areas with damaged paint
are more likely to corrode. If necessary,
clean and paint the areas. A touch-up
paint is available from a Yamaha dealer.
