When done, close the valve by turning it clockwise towards the Power side.

● When the motor is out of the water, being transported, or in storage, always remove the negative (-) battery cable to prevent accidental starting of the engine. Accidental starting when the motor is out of the water will cause water pump failure, overheating and damage to the engine due to a lack of cooling water. ● DO NOT disconnect the electrical harness when operating the motor. This model will continue to run and can be started with the electrical harness disconnected. Remove all spark plug connectors from the spark plugs when servicing the engine or propeller.
W h e n y o u r o u t b o ar d m o to r i s i n storage, this is a good opportunity to have it serviced or overhauled by your dealer. ■ Engine 1 Wash the engine exterior and flush the cooling water system thoroughly with fresh water. Let the water drain completely. Wipe off any surface water with an oily rag. 2 Drain all fuel from the fuel pipes, fuel pump and carburetor, and clean these parts. To prevent corrosion of the fuel tank, fill it up with engine oilrich gasoline.
