Operating in Freezing Temperatures
When using your outboard or having your outboard moored in
freezing or near freezing temperatures, keep the outboard tilted
down at all times so the gearcase is submerged. This prevents
the trapped water in the gearcase from freezing and causing
possible damage to the water pump and other components.
If there is a chance of ice forming on the water, the outboard
should be removed and drained completely of water. If ice
should form at the water level inside the outboard driveshaft
housing, it will block water flow to the engine causing possible
damage.
