STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your Yamaha outboard 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 you, the
owner, with a minimum of tools.
Filling Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
one ounce of "Yamaha fuel conditioner
and stabilizer" (Part No. LUB-FUELC-12-
00) to each gallon of fuel.
NOTE:
The use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer
or other qualified mechanic if the fuel sys-
tem is to be drained instead.
