NOTE: It may be necessary to lift, bend, or lower hoses to allow water to completely drain
when hoses are disconnected.

3. Verify that water is draining from each opening.
4. Allow the system to drain for a minimum of five minutes. Mercury MerCruiser
recommends leaving the drain system open while transporting the boat or while
performing other maintenance to ensure that all water is drained.
5. For DTS engines, pull the lanyard stop switch (if equipped), or disable the ignition circuit
by pulling the fuse marked "CD".
6. Crank the engine over slightly with starter motor to purge any water trapped in the
seawater pickup pump. Do not allow the engine to start.
7. Prior to launching the boat or starting the engine, close the drain system by installing
the two blue drain plugs.
Draining the Sterndrive
NOTE: This procedure is needed only for salty, brackish, mineral laden, or polluted water
applications; and for freezing temperatures or extended storage.
