Remote Control Outboards with Foot
Throttle
1) Fully advance the foot throttle. Start the
outboard. Outboard runs at slow idle
speed.
Foot Throttle – Typical
2) After outboard runs for at least 15 sec-
onds, remove foot from foot throttle and
allow throttle to return to IDLE position.
Outboard continues to run at slow idle
speed.
3) After outboard runs for another 15 sec-
onds, fully advance the foot throttle again.
Outboard will accelerate to fast idle speed
and fog itself.
4) Allow outboard to run until it shuts itself
OFF automatically (one to two minutes).
Winterization is complete when outboard
shuts itself off.
• If the outboard DOES NOT shut itself off,
you may not have used the fast idle lever or
button and the outboard was shifted into
gear.
• If the engine exceeds 3000 RPM, the out-
board may have been shifted into gear.
In either event, immediately turn the key
switch OFF and re-start the procedure.
After Winterization – All Outboards
When winterizing is finished, leave the
outboard
enough to completely drain the power-
head. If equipped, disconnect the speed-
006454
ometer pickup at the upper connection
and blow all water out of the hose using
air pressure of 25 psi or less. Reconnect
speedometer pickup after all the water
has been removed.
1) After the outboard shuts itself off, turn key
switch OFF. (For tiller models, remove en-
gine cut–off clip / key switch.) Do not start
the outboard again after winterization is
completed.
2) If winterizing on a trailer, turn off water
and detach garden hose. Grease propel-
ler shaft splines with recommended lubri-
006466 cant, and re-install propeller.
3) Top off oil tank.
Extra engine oil is used during the winteriza-
tion procedure. Some excess oil may appear
on the skeg below the gearcase area. This is
normal.
Avoid potential oil stains by placing a shop
towel or suitable container under the propeller
and skeg for the duration of the storage.
