TIP:
●
If a magnetic gear oil drain screw is
equipped, remove all metal particles from
the screw before installing it.
●
Always use new gaskets. Do not reuse the
removed gaskets.
4.
Remove the oil level plug and gasket to
allow the oil to drain completely.
NOTICE:
Check the used gear oil after
it has been drained. If the gear oil is
milky or contains water or a large
amount of metal particles, the gear
case may be damaged. Have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the
outboard motor.
