OFF-SEASON STORAGE
You must protect against natural environmental
conditions that can be damaging to an outboard
motor. Temperature and humidity changes while
your outboard motor is not in use can cause corro-
sion of internal engine parts when they are not pro-
tected. Fuel remaining in your fuel tank and in the
engine will oxidize and weather which can result in
loss of octane and can cause gum deposits in the
fuel system. Your warranty does not cover engine
failure caused by these conditions. We strongly rec-
ommend that you have your DEALER prepare your
outboard for the off-season.
