OPERATION IN FREEZING WEATHER
When operating your outboard motor in freez-
ing temperatures, you should keep the lower
unit submerged in the water at all times.
When taking motor out of the water, stand it up
in a vertical position until the cooling system
drains completely.
NOTICE
If you leave your outboard motor out of the
water in freezing temperatures with water still
in the cooling system, the water can freeze
and expand, causing severe damage to the
motor.
When your outboard is in the water in freezing
temperatures, keep the lower unit submerged
in the water at all times. When the motor is
stored out of the water in freezing tempera-
tures stand it up in the vertical position so
that the cooling system drains completely.
