Positioning Outboard for Storage

Store outboard in an upright position to allow water to drain out of outboard.
If outboard is stored tilted up in freezing temperature, trapped cooling water or rain
water that may have entered the propeller exhaust outlet in the gearcase could
freeze and cause damage to the outboard.

2. Remove the battery from the boat and check water level. Recharge if necessary.
3. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
