Draining the oil by removing the oil drain
plug
1) Remove the four bolts to remove the
apron from the starboard side.
2) Tilt the outboard motor 5-10 degrees up,
and then turn it entirely to the starboard
side until the drain plug is directly below.
3) Prepare a suitable container which can
hold a larger amount than the oil capac-
ity. Loosen and remove the drain bolt
2
while holding the container under the
drain hole. Let the oil drain completely.
Wipe up any spilled oil immediately.
4) Put a new gasket on the oil drain bolt.
Apply a light coat of oil to the gasket and
reinstall the drain bolt.
NOTE:

●
If a torque wrench is not available when
you are installing the drain plug, finger
tighten the bolt just until the gasket comes
into contact with the surface of the drain
hole. Then tighten 1/4-1/2 turn. Have the
drain bolt torqued to the correct value with
a torque wrench as soon as possible.
●
Apply grease to the bolts for retaining the
apron before tightening them.
