SUBMERGED MOTOR
If your motor has been accidentally submerged
in water, it must receive a special repair service
as soon as possible to prevent corrosion. If pos-
sible, have a qualified marine dealer service the
engine. If immediate servicing is not available,
take the following steps to help protect your
motor. In the event that your motor is acciden-
tally submerged, take the following steps:
1. Get the motor out of the water as soon as
possible.
2. Remove the engine cover and immediately
wash the engine thoroughly with fresh water
to completely remove all salt, mud, and sea-
weed.
3. Remove the spark plugs. Drain the water
from the cylinders through the spark plug
holes by manually turning the flywheel sev-
eral times.
4. Check to see if any water is evident in the
engine oil. If water is seen, remove the oil
drain plug and drain the oil. After draining,
tighten the oil drain plug.
5. Drain the fuel line, the carburetor and all fil-
ters.
6. Pour one tablespoon of engine oil in through
each spark plug hole and into the carburetor.
Coat the engine inner parts with oil by turn-
ing the engine over with the recoil starter.
Don’t use the electric starter, as this may
bend the connecting rods.
