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.

It is advisable to have your outboard serviced by an authorized Yamaha dealer prior to storage. 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 stabilizer” (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.
