OPERATION IN SALT WATER

After operating the motor in salt water, you
should flush the water passages with clean,
fresh water as outlined in the FLUSHING THE
WATER PASSAGES section. If you do not flush
the water passages, salt can corrode the motor
and shorten its life.

OPERATION IN FREEZING WEATHER

When operating your outboard motor in freez-
ing temperatures, you should keep the lower
unit submerged in the water at all times.
When taking motor out of the water, stand it up
in a vertical position until the cooling system
drains completely.
If you leave your outboard motor out of
speed
the water in freezing temperatures with
water still in the cooling system, the
water can freeze and expand, causing
speed
severe damage to the motor.
When your outboard is in the water in
freezing temperatures, keep the lower
unit submerged in the water at all times.
When the motor is stored out of the water
in freezing temperatures stand it up in the
vertical position so that the cooling sys-
tem drains completely.
