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.
c C
Do not use any chemical goods contain-
ing Silicon,
Phosphorus, or Lead.
Consult your Yamaha dealer for details
on the use of chemical goods for stor-
age.

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.
