Exterior Care
Your outboard is protected with a durable baked enamel finish. Clean and wax
often using marine cleaners and waxes.
Flushing The Cooling System
Flush the internal water passages of the outboard with fresh water after each
use in salt, polluted, or muddy water. This will help prevent a buildup of
deposits from clogging the internal water passages.
1. Place outboard in a test tank containing fresh water. Start the outboard
and operate for 3 to 4 minutes.
Propeller Replacement

WARNING
Rotating propellers can cause serious injury or death. Never operate the boat
out of the water with a propeller installed. Before installing or removing a
propeller, place the drive unit in neutral and engage the lanyard stop switch
to prevent the engine from starting. Place a block of wood between the
propeller blade and the anti‑ventilation plate.
1. Remove the spark plug lead to prevent engine from starting.
