!
Do not allow the battery to
discharge, since it can be damaged
by freezing.
When storing your outboard for
the winter, open up all the water
drain holes in the gear case to
permit any remaining water to drain
out. If a speedometer is installed,
disconnect the pickup tube and
allow it to drain, then reconnect it
after draining. Trapped water may
crack the gear case or water pump
case as a result of expansion when
frozen. Check and replenish the
gear case with case specified Gear
Oil before storing the motor, to avoid
water leakage into the gear case
due to a loose lubricant vent plug or
grease fill plug. Inspect the gaskets
under the lubricant vent and grease
plugs, replace them if necessary,
and reinstall the plugs.
