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. This is especially important for

 

 

 

 

 

your Yamaha oil injection system-

 

 

 

 

 

equipped outboard due to the lean oil

 

 

 

 

 

ratios used at idle prior to shutting the

 

 

 

 

 

engine off for the season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is advisable to have your outboard ser-

 

 

 

 

 

viced by an authorized Yamaha dealer

 

 

 

 

 

prior to storage. However, the following

 

q

 

 

 

procedures can be performed by you, the

 

 

 

 

owner, with a minimum of tools.

Electronic Fuel Injection system could be damaged. For the detail, consult your Yamaha dealer to use chemical goods for storage.

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.
