STORAGE

103

Storage Preparation

The  major  consideration  in  preparing  your  outboard  for  storage  is  to

protect it from rust, corrosion, and damage caused by freezing of trapped

water.
The  following  storage  procedures  should  be  followed  to  prepare  your

outboard for out of season storage or prolonged storage (two months or

longer).

!

 CAUTION

Never start or operate your outboard (even momentarily) without water

circulating through all the cooling water intake holes in the gearcase to

prevent damage to the water pump (running dry) or overheating of the

engine.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT:  Gasoline  containing  alcohol  (ethanol  or  methanol)  can

cause a formation of acid during storage and can damage the fuel system.

If the gasoline being used contains alcohol, it is advisable to drain as

much of the remaining gasoline as possible from the fuel tank, remote

fuel line, and engine fuel system.
IMPORTANT: This outboard is equipped with a closed fuel system when

the engine is not running. With this closed system, fuel within the engine's

fuel system, other than the fuel tank, will remain stable during normal

storage periods without the addition of fuel treatment stabilizers.
Fill the fuel tank and engine fuel system with treated (stabilized) fuel to

help prevent formation of varnish and gum. Proceed with the following

instructions.

• Portable  Fuel  Tank  ‑  Pour  the  required  amount  of  Fuel  System

Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on container) into fuel

tank. Tip fuel tank back and forth to mix stabilizer with the fuel.

• Permanently Installed Fuel Tank ‑ Pour the required amount of Fuel

System Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on container)

into a separate container and mix with approximately one liter (one

quart) of gasoline. Pour this mixture into fuel tank.

Tube Ref No.
