When storing your outboard motor for
prolonged periods of time (2 months or
longer), several important procedures
must be performed to prevent expensive
damage.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to storage. However, the following
procedures can be performed by the
owner with a minimum of tools.

caused by oil entering the cylinder from
the sump, keep the engine in the verti-

motor in a horizontal position, put it on
a cushion after draining the engine oil.
8 Do not place the engine on its side
before the cooling water has drained
from it completely, or water may enter
the cylinder through the exhaust port
and cause problems.
8 Store the engine in a dry, well-ventilat-
ed place, not in direct sunlight.
