SUBMERGED MOTOR

If your motor has been accidentally submerged
in water, it must receive a special repair service
as soon as possible to prevent corrosion. If pos-
sible, have a qualified marine dealer service the
engine. If immediate servicing is not available,
take the following steps to help protect your
motor. In the event that your motor is acciden-
tally submerged, take the following steps:
1. Get the motor out of the water as soon as
possible.
2. Remove the motor cover and immediately
wash the engine thoroughly with fresh water
to completely remove all salt, mud, and sea-
weed.
3. Remove the spark plugs. Drain the water
from the cylinders through the spark plug
holes by manually turning the flywheel sev-
eral times.
4. Check if any water is evident in the engine
oil. If water is seen, remove the oil drain plug
and drain the oil. After draining, tighten the
oil drain plug.
5. Drain the fuel line and all filters.
 WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
toxic. It can cause a fire and can be haz-
ardous to people and pets.
Keep flames and sparks away from gaso-
line. Dispose of unwanted fuel properly.
6. Pour one tablespoon of engine oil in through
each spark plug hole. Coat the engine inner
parts with oil by manually turning the fly-
wheel several times. Don't use the electric
starter, as this may bend the connecting
rods.
