STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your outboard motor for
prolonged periods of time ( 2 months or
longer ), several important procedures
must be performed to prevent expensive
damage.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to storage. However, the following
procedures can be performed by the
owner with a minimum of tools.

Clamp handle mounting model
When transporting or storing the out-
board motor while removed from a boat,
fold the tiller handle and lean the motor
on the tiller handle to keep in a horizontal
position.
c C
Keep the power unit higher than the pro-
peller at all times. Otherwise, cooling
water can run into the cylinder, which
could result in damage.
NOTE:
Place a towel or the like under the out-
board motor to protect it from damage.

c C
Do not use the tilt support lever/knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the motor can not be
trailered in the down position, use an
additional support device to secure it in
the up position.
