5.5 Treatment of submerged motor
If the outboard is submerged, immediately take it to your dealer. Otherwise some corrosion may begin
almost immediately.
1. Thoroughly wash away contaminants with fresh water.
2. Remove the spark plug(s), and then face the spark plug hole downward to allow any mud, or
contaminants to drain.
3. Drain the fuel from the carburetor, fuel filter, and fuel line.
4. Feed engine fogging oil or engine oil through the carburetor(s) and spark plug holes while pulling the
start rope to rotate the crankshaft.
5. Take the outboard motor to a PARSUN dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to run the outboard motor until it has been completely inspected.
