Out-of-Season Outboard
Storage
WARNING
As a safety precaution, when boat is in storage,
remove positive (+) battery cable. This will elimi-
nate possibility of accidental starting of engine
and resultant overheating and damage to engine
from lack of water.
In preparing an outboard for out-of-season storage,
2 precautions must be considered: 1) The engine
must be protected from physical damage and 2) the
engine must be protected from rust, corrosion and
dirt.
1. Remove cowling from engine.
2. Place outboard in water or install Quicksilver
Flushing Attachment over water intake by follow-
ing instructions outlined in “Flushing Outboard”
(see “Table of Contents”).
3. Start engine and allow to warm up. Disconnect
fuel line and allow engine to run at low RPM while
inducing approximately 2 oz. (57 g) of Quicksilver
Storage Seal into each carburetor throat. Allow
engine to stall out, indicating that carburetors
have run dry.
4. Remove spark plugs from engine and spray
approximately one ounce (30ml) of Quicksilver
Storage Seal into each spark plug hole. Manually
turn engine over several times to distribute Stor-
age Seal throughout cylinders. Reinstall spark
plugs.
5. If engine fuel filter appears to be contaminated,
remove and replace. Refer to Section 3 “Fuel
System and Carburetion.”
6. Drain and refill lower unit with Quicksilver Gear
Lube, as explained in “Gear Housing Lubrication”
(see “Table of Contents”).
7. Clean outboard thoroughly, including all accessi-
ble powerhead parts, and spray with Corrosion
and Rust Preventive.
8. Refer to lubrication chart in this section (see
“Table of Contents”) and lubricate all lubrication
points.
9. Remove propeller. Apply Special Lubricant 101,
Anti-Corrosion Grease or 2-4-C Marine Lubricant
to propeller shaft and reinstall propeller. Refer to
“Propeller Installation” (see “Table of Contents”).
10. If the water pickup is clogged, the speedometer
will be inoperative. Clean the pickup with a piece
of wire or blow out with compressed air. Before
blowing out with air, disconnect the tubing from
the speedometer.
11. To prevent freeze damage, drain the speedome-
ter system of water completely before storage.
Remove tubing from speedometer fitting and
blow thru the tubing to remove water.
12. Store battery as outlined in “Out-of-Season Bat-
tery Storage,” following.
13. For out-of-season storage information on Auto-
Blend units, refer to Section 8 in this service
manual.
IMPORTANT: When storing outboard for the win-
ter, be sure that all water drain holes in gear hous-
ing are open and free so that all water will drain
out. If a speedometer is installed in the boat, dis-
connect the pickup tube and allow it to drain. Re-
connect the tube after draining. Trapped water
may freeze and expand, thus cracking gear hous-
ing and/or water pump housing. Check and refill
gear housing with Quicksilver Gear Lube before
storage to protect against possible water leak-
age into gear housing which is caused by loose
lubricant vent plug or loose grease fill plug. In-
spect gaskets under lubricant vent and fill plugs,
replacing any damaged gaskets, before reinstal-
ling plugs.
Out-of-Season Battery
Storage
1. Remove battery as soon as possible and remove
all grease, sulfate and dirt from top surface.
2. Cover plates with distilled water, but not over
3/16in. (5mm) above perforated baffles.
3. Cover terminal bolts well with grease.
4. Store battery in a COOL, DRY place in a dry car-
ton or box.
5. Remove battery from storage every 60 days.
Check water level and place on charge for 5 to 6
hours at 6 amperes. DO NOT fast charge.
CAUTION
A discharged battery can be damaged by freez-
ing.
