8 Be sure the outboard motor is securely
fastened to the transom or a stable
stand. You could be severely injured if
the outboard motor falls on you.

is tilted, even when the tilt support
lever or knob is locked. Severe injury
could occur if the outboard motor acci-
dentally falls.
1) Tilt the outboard motor so that the
gear oil drain screw is at the lowest
point possible.
2) Place a suitable container under the

4) Remove the oil level plug 2 to allow
the oil to drain completely.

Inspect the used oil after it has been
drained. If the oil is milky, water is get-
ting into the gear case which can cause
gear damage. Consult a Yamaha dealer
for repair of the lower unit seals.
NOTE:
For disposal of used oil consult your
Yamaha dealer.
5) With the outboard motor in a vertical
position, and using a flexible or pres-
surized filling device, inject the gear
oil into the gear oil drain screw hole.
