STORAGE
Storing
your
periods of time, such as winter storage,
requires
preventative
to ensure against deterioration. It is
advisable to have the boat serviced
by an authorized Yamaha Boat dealer
before storage. However, the following
procedures can be performed by the
owner with a minimum of tools.
FUEL SYSTEM
Top off the fuel tank with fresh fuel,
adding one ounce of Yamaha Fuel
Conditioner and Stabilizer or an equiv-
alent to each gallon of fuel. A full fuel
tank is less likely to allow condensa-
tion to collect in the tank, reducing the
chance of contaminated fuel. Running
the engines with treated fuel during
cooling system flushing will also help
protect the fuel system.
TIP: Use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner
and Stabilizer eliminates the need to
drain the fuel system. Consult your
Yamaha dealer or other qualified me-
chanic if the fuel system is to be drained
instead.

COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING
Flush Hose Connector
Garden Hose Adapter
Cap
Cooling system flushing is essential to
prevent the cooling system from clog-
ging up with salt, sand, or dirt.
1) Open the cap for the engine you
are going to flush. Press the flush
kit garden hose adapter into the
flush hose connector and turn until
they are securely connected.
2) Start the engine, then immediately
turn on the water supply fully.

•
Never turn on the water before
starting the engine. The water
could flow back through the
muffler into the crankcase caus-

•
Be sure to turn on the water imme-
diately after starting the engine to
prevent engine overheating.
3) Run the engine at a fast idle for 10
