OPERATION IN SALT WATER
After operating the motor in salt water, you
should flush the water passages with clean,
fresh water as outlined in the FLUSHING THE
WATER PASSAGES section. If you do not flush
the water passages, salt can corrode the motor
and shorten its life.
OPERATION IN FREEZING WEATHER
When operating your outboard motor in freez-
ing temperatures, you should keep the lower
unit submerged in the water at all times.
When taking motor out of the water, stand it up
in a vertical position until the cooling system
drains completely.
NOTICE
If you leave your outboard motor out of
the water in freezing temperatures with
water still in the cooling system, the
water can freeze and expand, causing
severe damage to the motor.
When your outboard is in the water in
freezing temperatures, keep the lower
unit submerged in the water at all times.
When the motor is stored out of the water
in freezing temperatures stand it up in the
vertical position so that the cooling sys-
tem drains completely.
OPERATION OF OUTBOARD MOTOR AS
AUXILIARY PROPULSION
If the outboard motor is used for auxiliary pro-
pulsion, stop the motor and tilt the outboard
motor out of the water when using the main
motor.
Tilt the outboard out of water. Refer to the TILT
UP LOCK ARM section.
NOTICE
If your outboard motor is used for auxil-
iary propulsion and it is left in the down
position when the main engine is power-
ing the boat, the outboard motor or boat
could be damaged.
Make sure that the motor is tilted out of
the water and locked whenever it is not
being used.
