During operation in freezing weather,
keep the gearcase submerged at all
times.
Upon removing your outboard from
the water, leave it in a vertical position
until its cooling system is drained.
Store the outboard vertically.

Your outboard's EMM will automati-
cally compensate for changes in alti-
tude. However, if you boat above
3000 ft. (900 m), you will experience
some loss of power due to reduced air
density.
If your engine drops below the recom-
mended RPM operating range at full
throttle, have your Dealer select a low-
er pitch propeller.
If you return to sea level, have your
Dealer install the original propeller
and verify correct RPM operating
range.

Anode protection for the outboard has
been provided for use in salt or brack-
ish water.
Upon removal from salt water, leave
the outboard in a vertical position until
its cooling system has drained. During
long periods of mooring, tilt the gear-
case out of the water, except in
freezing temperatures. Flush the out-
board, if desired. Refer to Flushing .

Gearcase damage can occur if the
gearcase is allowed to drag on the
waterway bottom. Use caution when
operating in shallow water.

Weeds block water intakes and may
cause your outboard to overheat.
Weeds on the propeller create vibra-
tion and reduce boat speed.
When operating in weedy water, run
at slow speeds and in REVERSE fre-
quently to clear weeds from the pro-
peller and water intakes. Check the
water pressure often.
If the REVERSE operation does not
clear away weeds, SHUT OFF the en-
gine. Remove weeds from propeller
area and water intakes before operat-
ing at higher speed.
