STORING
Remove the screw and the starboard engine side
cover.
If you must tilt the motor to remove it from the water,
lower it and allow the cooling system to drain com-
pletely as soon as you clear the launch area.
Between uses, store your motor in a vertical posi-
tion.
For recommendations on extended periods of stor-
age, refer to Off-Season Storage.

CARRYING AND TRANSPORTING
1.
Screw
If you will be laying the engine down, minimize the
potential for fuel spillage by letting it run “out of gas”
before you remove it from the boat. Disconnect the
fuel hose at the engine while it is still running. Let it
run until it quits.
Loosen the carburetor drain screw and drain the
gasoline into a suitable container. After draining, re-
tighten the drain screw.
Remove the engine cover.
WARNING
Remove the snap pin, washer, pin, and fastener
from the engine cover latch. Also remove the screw
below the latch. Finally, remove the engine cover
grommet.
Use a proper, safe container to store any
gasoline drained from the outboard motor.

Carburetor drain screw
After removing the engine from the boat, position it
upright until the cooling system stops draining.
Grommet
Keep the powerhead higher than the gearcase at all
times, or any water remaining in exhaust passages
could travel to the cylinders and cause serious
damage.
Remove the three side engine cover bolts.
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.

Raise the tiller handle and rest it on a padded sur-
