6. Cold weather precautions

If you moor your boat in cold weather at
temperatures below 0°C (32°F), water
residue in water pump may freeze and
may damage the pump, impeller, etc. To
avoid, submerge the lower half of the
outboard motor into the water.
 Antifreeze Measures
1. Make sure the LPG tank and pipes are
protected against freezing if there is a
risk of the outdoor temperature fall-
ing to -5 degrees Centigrade or lower.
2. The amount of gas ejected from LPG
tank differs in accordance with the
outdoor temperature, so consult with
your LPG dealer with regard to meth-
ods of increasing tank capacity and
other measures if necessary.
