CLEANING THE OUTBOARD
Aer operating in demanding conditions, flush
the cooling seawater passages with fresh water
to prevent them from becoming corroded or
blocked.
We also strongly recommend to increase
cleaning intervals of seawater strainer and
water intake when operating in muddy or turbid
water.
1. Rinse the outside of the outboard with
fresh water and, if possible, rinse the
power head under the cowling.
2. Drain the cooling seawater completely out
of the engine. Clean the body thoroughly.
Long-term storage
1. Open connection (1) and place a container
beneath
2. Open the lower connection for the
seawater on the belt housing and place a
container beneath.
3. Open connection (4) and fill with coolant
fluid of sufficient grade temperature-wise
until it exits from connection (1).
4. Undo the hose on the seawater pump (3)
and drain the seawater.
Alternative solution, long-term storage
1. Run the outboard with the water-intake
point in the front of the lower housing
lowered into a coolant fluid mixture of
sufficient grade.
2. Run the outboard until the entire sea-
water part of the system is filled with
coolant fluid and thus protected from
freezing and corrosion.
