SUBMERGED MOTOR
If your motor has been accidentally submerged
in water, it must receive a special repair service
as soon as possible to prevent corrosion. If pos-
sible, have a qualified marine dealer service the
engine. If immediate servicing is not available,
take the following steps to help protect your
motor. In the event that your motor is acciden-
tally submerged, take the following steps:
1. Get the motor out of the water as soon as
possible.
2. Remove the engine cover and immediately
wash the engine thoroughly with fresh water
to completely remove all salt, mud, and sea-
weed.
3. Remove the spark plugs. Drain the water
from the cylinders through the spark plug
holes by manually turning the flywheel sev-
eral times.
4. Check if any water is evident in the engine
oil. If water is seen, remove the oil drain plug
and drain the oil. After draining, tighten the
oil drain plug.
5. Drain the fuel line and all filters.
6. Pour one tablespoon of engine oil in through
each spark plug hole. Coat the engine inner
parts with oil by manually turning the fly-
wheel several times. Don’t use the electric
starter, as this may bend the connecting
rods.
7. Have your authorized Suzuki marine dealer
inspect the engine as soon as possible.
WARNING
Keep flames and sparks away from gaso-
line. Dispose of unwanted fuel properly.
CAUTION
If you encounter friction or resistance
while cranking the engine, stop at once
and do not attempt to start the engine
until it is inspected or repaired.
CAUTION
If the boat’s fuel tank filler and vent were
also submerged, the fuel supply could be
contaminated and should be inspected.
STORAGE PROCEDURE
MOTOR STORAGE
When storing your motor for a long period of
time (for example, at the end of the boating sea-
son), it is recommended that you take your
motor to your authorized Suzuki Marine Dealer.
However, if you choose to prepare the motor for
storage yourself, follow the procedure outlined
below:
1. Change the gear oil as outlined in the GEAR
OIL section.
2. Change the engine oil as outlined in the
ENGINE OIL section.
3. Fill a high quality fuel stabilizer to the fuel
tank according to the instructions on the sta-
bilizer can.
4. Flush the water passages in the motor thor-
oughly. Refer to the FLUSHING THE
WATER PASSAGES (Engine running) sec-
tion.
5. Readjust the water flow, run the engine at
about 1500 r/min. in neutral for five minutes
to distribute the stabilized fuel through the
engine.
6. Stop the engine. Then turn off the water and
disconnect the flushing attachment.
