STORAGE
STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is
essential for keeping your outboard
motor troublefree and looking good.
The following steps will help to keep
rust and corrosion from impairing
your outboard motor’s function and
appearance, and will make the engine
easier to start when you use the
outboard motor again.
Cleaning and Flushing
Thoroughly clean and flush the
outboard motor with fresh water after
operation in dirty water or salt water.
Touch up any damaged paint, and
coat areas that may rust with a light
film of oil. Lubricate controls with a
silicone spray lubricant.
Cleaning
Wash the outside of the outboard
motor with clean, fresh water, and
flush the cooling system as described
on p.
30.
Flushing With the Honda
Garden Hose Adapter
(commercially available)
When using the Honda garden hose
adapter (commercially available), do
not to run the engine during the
flushing procedure.
For safety, remove the emergency
stop switch clip
so the engine cannot
be started while you are standing near
the propeller.
