Cold Weather or Extended Storage Draining Instructions
CAUTION
Sterndrive unit should be stored in full DOWN position. Universal Joint bellows may
develop a “set” if unit is stored in raised position and may fail when unit is returned
to service.
CAUTION
If Power Package will not be used for an extended period of time or will be exposed
to freezing temperatures, drain water from seawater section of cooling system. Wa-
ter MUST BE drained to prevent corrosion and freeze damage to engine.
CAUTION
If boat is to remain in water after draining, seawater inlet hose must be removed and
plugged. The plug will prevent a siphoning action that may occur, allowing seawater
to flow from the drain holes or removed hoses.
IMPORTANT: Boat must be as level as possible to ensure complete draining of cool-
ing system.
