TIP:
If the oil does not drain easily, change the tilt
angle or turn the outboard motor to port and
starboard to drain the oil.
7.
Put a new gasket on the drain screw. Ap-
ply a light coat of oil to the gasket and in-
stall the drain screw.
TIP:
If a torque wrench is not available when you
are installing the drain screw, finger tighten
the screw just until the gasket comes into
contact with the surface of the drain hole.
