IMPORTANT: Do not rinse the cowls with water when the outboard is in a tilted
position, as this could allow water to enter the air intakes on the rear of the
upper cowl. Always lower the outboard to a vertical position prior to rinsing the
cowls.
CLEANING CARE FOR THE POWERHEAD (SALTWATER USE)
If the outboard is operated in saltwater, remove the top cowl and flywheel
cover. Inspect the powerhead and powerhead components for salt buildup.
Wash off any salt buildup from the powerhead and powerhead components
with fresh water. Keep water spray out of the air filter/intake and alternator.
After washing, allow the powerhead and components to dry. Apply Quicksilver
or Mercury Corrosion Guard spray on the external metal surfaces of the
powerhead and powerhead components. Do not allow the Corrosion Guard
spray to come in contact with the alternator drive belt or belt pulleys.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow lubricant or Corrosion Guard spray to come in
contact with the alternator drive belt or the belt pulleys. The alternator drive belt
could slip and be damaged if it becomes coated with any lubricant or Corrosion
Guard spray.
