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

To prevent problems which can be
caused by oil entering the cylinder from
the sump, keep the outboard motor
upright when transporting and storing
it. If storing or transporting the out-
board motor on its side (not upright),
put it on a cushion after draining the
engine oil.

Store the outboard motor in a dry,
well-ventilated place, not in direct sun-
light.
