Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even when the tilt-support
lever is locked. Severe injury could
occur if the outboard accidentally falls.
1) Put the outboard in a vertical position
(not tilted).
2) Place a suitable container under the
gear-case.
3) Remove the oil drain plug

.
NOTE:
The oil drain plug is magnetic. Remove all
metal particles from the plug before rein-
stalling it.
4) Remove the oil level plug

to allow
the oil to drain completely.

Inspect the used oil after it has been
drained. If the oil is milky, water is get-
ting into the gear-case which can cause
gear damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer
for repair of the lower unit seals.
NOTE:
For disposal of used oil consult your
Yamaha dealer.
