STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is
essential for keeping your outboard
motor troublefree and looking good.
The following steps will help to keep
rust and corrosion from impairing
your outboard motor's function and
appearance, and will make the engine
easier to start when you use the
outboard motor again.
Cleaning and Flushing
Thoroughly clean and flush the
outboard motor with fresh water after
operation in dirty water or salt water.
Touch up any damaged paint, and
coat areas that may rust with a light

Wash the outside of the outboard
motor with clean, fresh water to
remove mud, salt, seaweed, etc.
