• Remove the spark plugs and inject a five second spray of
storage seal around the inside of the cylinder.

storage seal in the cylinder. Reinstall spark plug.

Positioning Outboard for Storage
Store outboard in an upright (vertical) position to allow water to
drain out of the outboard.
NOTICE
Storing the outboard in a tilted position can damage the outboard.
Water trapped in the cooling passages or rain water collected in
the propeller exhaust outlet in the gearcase can freeze. Store the
outboard in the full down position.
Battery Storage

recharging.
• Remove the battery from the boat and check water level.
Recharge if necessary.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
• Periodically check the water level and recharge the battery
during storage.
Pre‑Season Check
Have your dealer check the engine before the season starts, or if
you prefer, be sure to check the following items yourself:
• Check the electrolyte level, and measure the voltage and
specific gravity of the battery.
Specific Gravity at 20 °C Terminal Voltage (V) Charge Condition
