TREATMENT OF SUBMERGED
MOTOR
If the outboard motor is submerged,
immediately take it a Yamaha dealer.
Otherwise, some corrosion may begin
almost immediately. If you cannot imme-
diately take the outboard motor to a
Yamaha dealer, follow the procedure bel-
low for taking care to minimize engine
damage.
1) Thoroughly wash away mud, salt,
seaweed, etc. with fresh water.
2) Remove the spark plugs and face the
spark plug holes downward to allow
any water, mud or contaminants to
drain.
3) Drain the fuel from the carburetor.
4) Feed fogging oil or engine oil through
the carburetors and spark plug holes
while cranking with the manual
starter or emergency starter rope.
5) Take the outboard motor to a Yamaha
dealer as soon as possible.
cC
Do not attempt to run the motor until it
has been completely inspected.
