ENGINE DE-WATER
The
MFE
outboard
is
NOT
a submersible en-
gine. However, due to the extreme operating
conditions this engine may experience, a
crankcase drain system has been provided to
to de-water the engine should water intrusion
occur during deployment or accidental roll-
over.
This system allows the operator to quickly re-
move water and re-start the engine in an
emergency situation. In most cases the en-
gine can be returned to normal operation with-
out damage.
Avoid submersion of the outboard. Damage
could occur to the engine wiring harness and
water could contaminate the oiling system.
Extended submersion, particularly in salt wa-
ter, could result in corrosion of internal com-
ponents such as piston rings, cylinder
sleeves, and bearings.
Once an outboard has been under water
(fresh or salt water), it must be serviced and
started within three (3) hours of recovery. Im-
mediate service can minimize the corrosive
effect that air has on the polished surfaces of
the crankshaft, connecting rods, and internal
powerhead bearings.
IMPORTANT:
If the outboard cannot be start-
ed or serviced immediately, it should be re-
submerged in fresh water to avoid exposure
to the atmosphere.
DE-WATER PROCEDURE
1) Place shift lever in NEUTRAL and remove
the engine cut–off switch clip and tether
cord.
2) Twist throttle grip to
slowest
speed posi-
tion.
3) Turn the drain valves forward to the DRAIN
position.
4) Tilt outboard to the full tilt position and turn
so the drain valves are on the lowest side.
To avoid outboard falling
during de-water procedure, tilt/run lever
MUST remain in the TILT position.
