STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your Yamaha outboard
motor for prolonged periods of time (2
months or longer), several important pro-
cedures must be performed to prevent
excessive damage. This is especially
important for your oil injection-equipped
outboard motor due to the lean oil ratios
used at idle prior to shutting the engine
off for the season. It is advisable to have
your outboard motor serviced by an
authorized Yamaha dealer prior to stor-
age. However, the following procedures
can be performed by you, the owner, with
a minimum of tools.
Filling Fuel Tank
Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add one
ounce of “Yamaha fuel conditioner and sta-
bilizer” (Part No. LUB-FUELC-12-00) to
each gallon of fuel.
NOTE:
The use of Yamaha Fuel Conditioner and
Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain the
fuel system. Consult your Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic if the fuel system
is to be drained instead.
