Cold Weather Precautions; Checking After Striking Underwater Object - TOHATSU EverRun MX 18E2 Owner's Manual

6. Cold weather precautions

If you moor your boat in cold weather at
temperatures below 0°C (32°F), there is
the danger of water freezing in the cooling
water pump, which may damage the
pump, impeller, etc. To avoid this problem,
submerge the lower half of the outboard
motor into the water, or tilt the motor up
above water level and pull the recoil starter
several times to drain the water com-
pletely.
