6.4.5 CHANGING POWERHEAD OIL BY DRAINING OUT OF WATER
To change the powerhead oil by draining:
1 Position the outboard vertically. If your outboard has been tilted for storage or recently operated,
allow 20 minutes for oil to drain into the sump prior to commencing oil change.
NOTE
Changing powerhead oil by draining can only be done with your vessel out of water
or the outboard (s) is not attached to the vessel.
2 Remove the upper cowling by opening the latches and lifting upwards.
3 Remove the lower cowling by loosening and removing the joining fasteners and then each panel.
4 Prepare an empty reservoir of at least 12L (12.7 US qt) capacity and position to receive used oil
drained from the preferred (port or starboard) oil drain plug.
5 Remove the oil dipstick, wipe clean with a lint-free cloth and set aside.
