Inspect After Operating; Submerged Outboard Motor - HONDA marine BF115J Owner's Manual

Inspect After Operating

1. Stop the engine and remove the
engine cover (see page 60).
2. Confirm the cooling water leakage
from the engine.

Submerged Outboard Motor

A submerged outboard motor must be
serviced immediately after it is
recovered from the water in order to
minimize corrosion.
If there is a Honda outboard motor
dealer nearby, take the outboard
motor immediately to the dealer. If
you are far from a dealer, proceed as
follows:
1. Remove the engine cover, and rinse
the outboard motor with fresh
water to remove salt water, sand,
mud, etc.
2. Drain the vapor separator as
described on page 143.
MAINTENANCE
3. Change the engine oil (see
page 123). If there was water in the
engine crankcase, or if the used
engine oil showed signs of water
contamination, then a second
engine oil change should be
performed after running the engine
for 1/2 hour.
4. Remove the spark plugs (see
page 124). Operate the starter to
expel water from the engine's
cylinder.
