CARRYING AND TRANSPORTING
FLUSHING
Before you shut the engine off for the last time dur-
ing your outing, close the fuel shut-off valve and the
fuel tank vent screw. Run the engine until it quits.
Doing so will minimize the potential for fuel leakage
when you lay the engine down. Refer to Fuel Shut-
off Valve.
DANGER
DO NOT run the engine indoors or without
adequate   ventilation    or   permit   exhaust
fumes   to  accumulate   in  confined   areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide
which,  if  inhaled,  can  cause  serious  brain
damage or death.
After removing the engine from the boat, hold it up-
right until the cooling system stops draining before
you lay it down for carrying.
IMPORTANT: Whenever the engine is horizontal,
keep its powerhead higher than the gearcase. Oth-
erwise, any water remaining in the exhaust passag-
es  could  run  into  the  block   and  cause  serious
damage.
WARNING
A convenient handle is provided for carrying.
Prevent  injury  from   contact  with  rotating
propeller by removing the propeller before
flushing.
Flush your engine for at least five minutes with fresh
water as soon as possible after each use in salty,
polluted or brackish water to minimize the formation
of deposits that can clog cooling passages.
Run the engine in a large container of water, such
as  a  30-gallon  garbage  can.  If  needed,  insert  a
board between the rim of the can and the engine’s
clamp screws for thickness. Be sure water covers
the engine’s water intakes.
When transporting, rest the engine on the side that
has the fuel shut-off valve knob.
MOORING
You may moor your boat with the motor’s gearcase
out of the water by using its tilt feature. Refer to Tilt-
ing.
Requirements

Propeller removed.
Water level 4 in. (10 cm) above the antiventilation

mal operating position.

IMPORTANT:  Water  must   flow  from  the  water
pump indicator.If it does not, shut OFF the engine
and investigate. Refer to Engine Overheating.
