Transporting Outboard When Removed From Boat

IMPORTANT: Ensure the proper procedures are followed for

transportation and storage of the outboard to avoid the possibility

of oil leaks.

1. With the outboard still in the water, close the fuel shut‑off valve

and run engine until it stops. This will drain fuel from the

carburetor. Remove outboard from the boat and hold upright

until all cooling water is drained out.

2. Lay the outboard down on its back side so the tiller handle is

facing up as shown. Place a protective pad under the

outboard.

3. Close the fuel tank vent.

Trailering Boat

IMPORTANT: The tilt lock mechanism is not intended to support

the outboard in the tilted up position when trailering. Use of the tilt

lock mechanism could allow the outboard to bounce and drop

down causing damage to the outboard.

The boat should be trailered with the outboard tilted down (normal

operating position).
