Submerged Outboard
A submerged outboard will require service within a few hours by an
authorized dealer once the outboard is recovered from the water.
This immediate attention by a servicing dealer is necessary to mini-
mize internal corrosion damage to the engine once the engine is ex-
posed to the atmosphere.
