Cruising in other conditions
Cruising in salt water
After operating in salt water, wash out the
cooling water passages with fresh water to
prevent them from becoming clogged with
salt deposits.
NOTE:
For cooling system flushing instructions, see
page 33.
Cruising in turbid water
Yamaha strongly recommends that you use
the optional chromium-plated water pump kit
if you use the outboard motor in turbid (mud-
dy) water conditions.
