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 expensive damage.
This is especially important for your oil
injection-equipped outboard motor due to
the lean oil ratios used at idle prior to shut-
ting the engine off for the season. It is advis-
able to have your outboard motor serviced
by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior to
storage. However, the following procedures
can be performed by you, the owner, with a
minimum of tools.

Do not use any chemical goods con-
taining Silicon, Phosphorus, or Lead.
Consult your Yamaha dealer for details
on the use of chemical goods for stor-
age.
8
Drain the remaining gasoline from the
vapor separator. Gasoline left in the
vapor separator for a prolonged period
of time will break down and could
cause damage to the fuel line.
c C
Do not use the tilt support lever/knob
when trailering the boat. The outboard
motor could shake loose from the tilt
support and fall. If the motor can not be
trailered in the down position, use an
additional support device to secure it in
the up position.
