Carrying, Storing, and Transporting Your Outboard
when Removed from Boat
IMPORTANT: Ensure the proper procedures are followed for
transportation and storage of the outboard to avoid the possibility
of oil leaks.
1. With the outboard still in the water, disconnect the remote
fuel line and run engine until it stops. This will drain fuel from
the carburetor. Install the protector cap over the fuel
connector.
