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
expensive damage. This is especially
important for your oil injection-equipped
outboard motor due to the lean oil ratios
used at idle prior to shutting the engine
off for the season. 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 you, the owner, with
a minimum of tools.

Do not use any chemical goods contain-
ing Silicon, Phosphorus, or Lead.
Otherwise the oxygen sensor for the
Electronic Fuel Injection system could be
damaged. Consult your Yamaha dealer
for details on the use of chemical goods
for storage.

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 system is to be drained instead.
