Cruising in other conditions

Cruising in salt water

After operating in salt water, wash out the cooling water passages with fresh water to prevent them from becoming clogged with salt deposits.

NOTE:

For cooling system flushing instructions, see page 31.

Cruising in turbid water

Yamaha strongly recommends that you use the optional chromium-plated water pump kit if you use the outboard motor in turbid (mud- dy) water conditions.
