STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your Yamaha outboard 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 you, the
owner, with a minimum of tools.
Filling Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
one ounce of “Yamaha fuel conditioner
and stabilizer” (Part No. LUB-FUELC-12-
00) to each gallon of fuel.
NOTE:
The use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer
or other qualified mechanic if the fuel sys-
tem is to be drained instead.
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.

Vertical position

Horizontal position
NOTE:
Place a towel or the like under the out-
board motor to protect it from damage.
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.
