STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR

When storing your Yamaha outboard for pro-
longed periods of time, (2 months or longer),
several important procedures must be per-
formed to prevent expensive damage. It is
advisable to have your outboard serviced by
an authorized Yamaha dealer prior to stor-
age. However, the following procedures can
be performed by you, the owner, with a mini-
mum of tools.
CAUTION:
@
Keep the engine in one of the posi-
G
tions shown when storing it. Other-
wise, oil could enter the cylinder from
the sump, which could cause mechani-
cal damage or leakage.
Drain cooling water completely before
G
placing the engine on its side. Other-
wise, water may enter the engine
through the exhaust manifold and
cause corrosion or other mechanical
damage.
Store the engine in a dry, well-venti-
G
lated place, not in direct sunlight.
