Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and use only the recommended oil types.
Don’t attempt to service your outboard or any of its components unless you are thoroughly familiar
with its operation and dangers. Many of the moving part components are exposed and can pose an
extreme danger to anyone unfamiliar with their operation. Always leave the servicing to a qualified
technician.
Each manufacturer provides manuals designed to assist you in the proper operation and
maintenance of your new engine. Follow their guidance and schedules for proper operation of
your new engine. With a modern outboard there is little to do as long as proper maintenance is
performed, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. If the boat is to be kept
in saltwater for an extended period, electrolysis and marine growth can become a problem.
When leaving your boat in salt water overnight or for an extended period, tilt the engine as high
out of the water as possible. This will decrease the possibility of marine growth on the outside
of the engine, as well as reduce the potential of marine growth compromising the cooling
water inlets in the lower unit, which can cause overheating.
Do not paint your outboard’s lower unit with paints designed for boat hulls. Some can cause severe
damage to your engine. Check with your engine manufacturer to get their recommendation.
Do not attempt to adjustment engine controls unless you are very familiar with their function, operation
and adjustment. Failure to properly adjust the system components can adversely affect your boat’s
performance and safety. Misadjustment can also cause severe control, engine or lower unit damage.
Please return all warranty cards for boat, engine and other related items. This will assist
you in the event you have a warranty problem.

Most outboard engines are cooled by water taken in through ports in the lower part of the drive section.
Make sure these ports are free of debris or other items that might cause the flow to be restricted.
Maintain a routine vigilance to see that the visual inspection streams have a steady flow of
water. If they do not, shut down the engine to see if they are clogged or if there is a more
serious problem. Be especially watchful if you have gone through an area of vegetation or
shallow water as the intake ports can become clogged with weeds, dirt or other debris.
Do not run your outboard without water coming into the lower unit. The water pump impeller can be
damaged in only seconds of this type of operation.

A turning propeller moves the boat through the water, forward or backward. They should always be clean
and free from nicks or dings, which can adversely affect performance. Your dealer can assist you in the
proper selection of a propeller for your boat. This selection is based on the horsepower of the engine and
