MAINTENANCE
Check painted surfaces
Check the outboard for scratches,
nicks, or flaking paint. Areas with
damaged paint surfaces are more
likely to corrode. Clean and paint the
areas if necessary.
Check cowling sealing
Check that the sealing is not dry,
broken or worn, as this will allow
water to enter the engine.
Check the top cowling
!
CAUTION
Make sure that the top cowling is
securely closed and that there are
no gaps. A loose or improperly
fitted cover could allow water to
enter the engine.
Check the fitting of the top cowling.
Reinstall if the fit is not complete.
Contact your dealer/manufacturer if
it is still loose.
