7.2 BRINGING OUT OF STORAGE
When intending to bring your outboard(s) out of storage after a period of one month or longer, the
following precautions will return it to operating condition.
1 Inspect the exterior of your outboard(s) for any obvious damage or degradation, including
corrosion. Contact an authorized Cox Powertrain dealer if any areas of concern are identified.
2 Inspect the fuel system lines and correct any issues prior to attempting to operate your outboard(s).
Confirm that the water separator drains are closed and tight.
3 Lubricate all lubrication points with marine grease.
4 Check the levels of powerhead and transmission oils and top-up as necessary. Visually inspect the
powerhead while the top cowling is removed.
5 Note the age of any diesel fuel stored in your vessel. Diesel fuel has a typical storage life of 6-12
months, which includes any time prior to storage of your outboard(s), and it may be necessary to drain
and fill with fresh diesel following a long period of storage.
6 Check the state of charge on your battery, then if acceptable, connect the positive terminal first, then
the negative terminal.
7 If using a tilt support bracket, remove it and bring your outboard(s) to the vertical position.
8 Apply marine grease to the propeller shaft splines, then reinstall the propeller.
9 Identify and follow any instructions for other components in your installation such as your steering and
controls gear, other electronic components, any bilge pumps etc.
