Storage Preparation
The major consideration in preparing your outboard for storage is to protect it
from rust, corrosion, and damage caused by freezing of trapped water.
The following storage procedures should be followed to prepare your outboard
for out of season storage or prolonged storage (two months or longer).
NOTICE
Without sufficient cooling water, the engine, the water pump, and other
components will overheat and suffer damage. Provide a sufficient supply of
water to the water inlets during operation.
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Gasoline containing alcohol (ethanol or methanol) can cause a
formation of acid during storage and can damage the fuel system. If the
gasoline being used contains alcohol, it is advisable to drain as much of the
remaining gasoline as possible from the fuel tank, remote fuel line, and engine
fuel system.
IMPORTANT: This outboard is equipped with a closed fuel system when the
engine is not running. With this closed system, fuel within the engine's fuel
system, other than the fuel tank, will remain stable during normal storage
periods without the addition of fuel treatment stabilizers.
Fill the fuel tank and engine fuel system with treated (stabilized) fuel to help
prevent formation of varnish and gum. Proceed with the following instructions.
•
Portable fuel tank ‑ Pour the required amount of Fuel System Treatment
and Stabilizer (follow instructions on container) into fuel tank. Tip fuel tank
back and forth to mix stabilizer with the fuel.
•
Permanently installed fuel tank ‑ Pour the required amount of Fuel System
Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on container) into a separate
container and mix with approximately one liter (one quart) of gasoline.
Pour this mixture into fuel tank.
