STORAGE
PROTECTOR
If it is necessary to store the outboard
motor horizontally, drain the vapor
separator
(p.
77
),
and drain the
engine oil (p.
60
),
before removing
the outboard motor from the boat.
Rest the motor on and cushion
of
protective packing material.
Cover the outboard motor to keep out
dust.
Do not use sheet plastic as a
dust cover.
A
nonporous cover will
trap moisture, promoting rust and
corrosion.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check your outboard motor as
described in the
BEFORE
OPERATION
chapter
of
this manual.
If the cylinders were coated with oil
during storage preparation, the
engine may smoke briefly at startup.
This is normal.
