BONDING WIRES
Drain the gasoline from the vapor separator as fol-
lows:
1)
2)
Remove the motor cover and rubber seal.
Remove the seven bolts on the starboard cov-
er, then remove cover.
Pull the drain hose end out.
Loosen the vapor separator drain screw and
drain the gasoline into a suitable container.
Bonding wires are used to electrically connect the
engine components so they exist in a common
ground circuit. This allows them to be protected
against electrolysis by the anodes. These wires and
their terminals should be checked periodically to be
sure they have not been damaged.

WARNING
Use a proper, safe container to store any
gasoline drained from the outboard motor.
5)
After draining, retighten the drain screw and re-
install all components.
Rest the outboard on a case protector, starboard
side down.
Do not rest the engine before the engine oil has
drained, as oil may enter the cylinder from the sump
and outer casings may be damaged.
MOTOR REMOVAL AND
TRANSPORTING
IMPORTANT: Do not rest the engine before the
cooling water has drained completely, as water
may enter the cylinder through the exhaust port and
cause problems.
Motor Removal
If it is necessary to remove the outboard from the
boat, we strongly recommended your DEALER per-
form the service.
Motor Transporting
Vertical transport
Attach the clamp bracket to a stand by securing
transom bolts.
Horizontal transport
IMPORTANT: Do not let the gearcase of the out-
board sit higher than the powerhead during trans-
porting or storing. Water may drain into the
powerhead, causing damage to the engine.
Drain the crankcase oil. Refer to Crankcase Oil
and Filter.
