Do not attempt to start submerged outboard
motor immediately after it is recovered, or
engine could be severely damaged.
After taking your outboard motor out of
the water, immediately take it to your
dealer.
The following are the emergency mea-
sures to be taken for a submerged out-
board motor, if you can not take it your
dealer right away.
1. Wash the outboard motor with fresh
water to remove salt or dirt.
2. Remove the engine oil drain screw
and completely drain water and oil
from the engine.
3. Remove the spark plugs, and com-
pletely drain the water from the
engine by pulling recoil starter several
times.
Replace oil to the correct level.
The oil and filter may need to be
changed again after running a short
period to get all moisture completely
out of the crankcase.
4. Inject a sufficient amount of engine
oil through the spark plug holes.
Pull the recoil starter rope several
times to circulate the oil throughout
the outboard motor.

If you moor your boat in cold weather at
temperatures below 0°C (32°F), there is
the danger of remained water freezing in
the cooling water pump, which may dam-
age the pump, impeller, etc. To avoid this
problem, submerge the lower half of the
outboard motor into the water.
Antifreeze Measures
1. Make sure the LPG tank and pipes are
protected against freezing if there is a
risk of the outdoor temperature fall-
ing to -5 degrees Centigrade or lower.
