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 dam-
age. This is especially important for your
Precision Blend equipped outboard due to
the lean oil ratios used at idle prior to shut-
ting the engine off for the season.
It is advisable to have your outboard ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior
to storage. However, the following proce-
dures can be performed by you, the owner,
with a minimum of tools.
Filling Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add one
ounce of “Yamaha fuel conditioner and sta-
bilizer” (Part No. LUB-FUELC-12-00) to
each gallon of fuel.
NOTE:
The use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic if the fuel system
is to be drained instead.
