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 atti-
tude shown when transporting and
storing it.
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.

Filling Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
one ounce of “Yamaha Fuel Conditioner
and Stabilizer” (Part No. LUB-FUELC-12-

The use of “Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer” eliminates the need to drain
the fuel system. Consult your Yamaha
