TREATMENT OF SUBMERGED
MOTOR
If the outboard motor is submerged, imme-
diately take it a Yamaha dealer. Otherwise,
some corrosion may begin almost immedi-
ately. If you cannot immediately take the
outboard motor to a Yamaha dealer, follow
the procedure below for taking care to mini-
mize engine damage.
1) Thoroughly wash away mud, salt, sea-
weed, etc. with fresh water.
2) Remove the spark plugs, and face the
spark plug holes downward to allow any
water, mud or contaminants to drain.
3) Drain the fuel from the carburetor.
4) Feed fogging oil or engine oil through
the carburetors and spark plug holes
while cranking with the manual starter or
emergency starter rope.
5) Take the outboard motor to a Yamaha
dealer as soon as possible.
c C
Do not attempt to run the motor until it
has been completely inspected.
