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