STORING OUTBOARD MOTOR
When storing your Yamaha outboard for
prolonged periods of time, (2 months or
longer), several important procedures
must be performed to prevent expensive
damage. This is especially important for
your Precision Blend equipped outboard
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 ser-
viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer
prior to storage. However, the following
procedures can be performed by you, the
owner, with a minimum of tools.
