Yamaha F350B - Checking the Cooling Water Pilot Hole; Checking the Gear Oil Level

10-8
Predelivery check
2. Check:
• Specific gravity of the electrolyte
Below specification  Fully charge the
battery.
TIP:
• Batteries vary depending on the manufactur-
er. The procedures mentioned in this manual
may not always apply. Therefore, see the in-
struction manual of the battery.
• Disconnect the negative battery cable first,
and then disconnect the positive battery ca-
ble.
Checking the cooling water pilot hole
1. Place the lower unit in water, and then start
the engine.
2. Check:
• Cooling water is discharged from the cool-
ing water pilot hole.
Not discharged  Check the cooling pas-
sages for clog.
Checking the gear oil level
1. Remove:
• Water inlet cover “1”
2. Check:
• Gear oil level
Below the proper level  Add the recom-
mended gear oil.
a. Place the outboard motor in an upright po-
sition.
b. Remove the oil level plug “1”, and O-ring
“2”, and then check the gear oil level.
TIP:
If the oil is at the proper level, a small amount
of oil should flow out of the check hole.
