INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

3. Off-season storage

�������
!
● When the motor is out of the water,
being transported, or in storage,
always remove the negative (-)
battery cable to prevent accidental
starting of the engine. Accidental
starting when the motor is out of
the water will cause water pump
failure, overheating and damage to
the engine due to a lack of cooling
water.
● DO NOT disconnect the electrical
harness when operating the motor.
This model will continue to run and
can be started with the electrical
harness disconnected. Remove
all spark plug connectors from the
spark plugs when servicing the
engine or propeller.
W h e n y o u r o u t b o a r d m o to r i s i n
storage, this is a good opportunity to
have it serviced or overhauled by your
dealer.
■ Engine
1 Wash the engine exterior and flush
the cooling water system thoroughly
with fresh water. Let the water drain
completely.
Wipe off any surface water with an
oily rag.
2 Drain all fuel from the fuel pipes, fuel
pump and carburetor, and clean
these parts. To prevent corrosion of
the fuel tank, fill it up with engine oil-
rich gasoline.
