until its cooling system is drained.
Store the outboard vertically.

When in reverse above slow speed,
be sure all outboards are running,
even if one is in NEUTRAL.
If it is necessary to return to harbor
with one outboard not running, tilt the
inoperative outboard high enough to
keep its propeller out of the water.

Your outboard’s
EMM
will automati-
cally compensate for changes in alti-
tude. However, if you boat above
3000 ft. (900 m), you will experience
some loss of power due to reduced air
density.
If your engine drops below the recom-
mended RPM operating range at full
throttle, have your Dealer select a low-
er pitch propeller.
If you return to sea level, have your
Dealer install the original propeller
and verify correct RPM operating
range.

Anode protection for the outboard has
been provided for use in salt or brack-
ish water.
Upon removal from salt water, leave
outboard in a vertical position until its
cooling system has drained. During
