STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR

When storing your Yamaha outboard for
prolonged periods of time, (2 months or
longer), several important procedures
must be performed to prevent expensive
damage.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to storage. However, the following
procedures can be performed by you, the
owner, with a minimum of tools.

8 To prevent problems which can be

caused by oil entering the cylinder from
the sump, keep the engine in the verti-
cal position when transporting and
storing it.
If storing or transporting the outboard
motor in a horizontal position, put it on
a cushion after draining the engine oil.

8 Do not place the engine on its side

before the cooling water has drained
from it completely, or water may enter
the cylinder through the exhaust port
and cause problems.

8 Store the engine in a dry, well-ventilat-

ed place, not in direct sunlight.
