STORAGE
Storage Preparation
The major consideration in preparing your outboard for storage is to
protect it from rust, corrosion, and freezing water damage.
The following storage procedures should be followed to prepare your
outboard for out of season storage or prolonged storage (two months
or longer).
POSITIONING OUTBOARD FOR STORAGE
Store outboard in an upright (vertical) position to allow water to drain
out of outboard.
CAUTION
If outboard is stored tilted up in freezing temperature, water
may enter the propeller exhaust outlet in the gear case and
could freeze causing damage to the outboard.

Fuel System
IMPORTANT: Gasoline containing alcohol (ethanol or metha-
nol) can cause a formation of acid during storage and can dam-
age 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.
To prevent varnish or gum buildup during extended storage, we rec-
ommend adding Mercury Precision Fuel System Treatment and Sta-
bilizer (92-802875A1) to the fuel tank and operation of the engine to
introduce the additives to the system.
