STORING THE OUTBOARD
When storing your OXE Diesel outboard for
a longer period of time (2 months or more),
some important procedures must be performed
in order to prevent excessive damage. It is
advisable to have the outboard serviced by your
authorised dealer before storing.
!
CAUTION
To prevent oil from the sump entering
the cylinder, keep the outboard in upright
position when transporting and during
storage. Do not store or transport the
outboard on its side.
To prevent freezing damage, the seawater
system must be drained and the freshwater
system coolant must have sufficient
antifreeze protection, see Check coolant
level and mixture. Also refer to Service
Manual.
Store the outboard in a dry, well ventilated
place. Protect from sunlight.
Winterization of the outboard
When storing an engine for a prolonged period
of time or in sub-zero temperatures several
important procedures should be performed to
prevent engine issues.
For both short-term and long-term storage, see
instruction below and picture
Short-term storage
1. Open connection (1).
2. Unscrew the plug on the side of the heat
exchanger (2).
3. Undo the hose on the seawater pump (3)
and drain the seawater
4. Tilt the outboard to a 45⁰ angle to drain as
much as possible of the seawater out of
the system.
5. When in this position, steer the outboard
fully to starboard and port. Repeat if
necessary.
