emergency stop clip / key switch.) Do not
start the outboard again after winterization
is completed.

Press foot throttle to HALF THROTTLE po-
sition. Start the outboard. Outboard runs at
slow idle speed.
2)
If winterizing on a trailer, turn off water
and detach garden hose. Grease propeller
shaft splines with recommended lubricant,
and re-install propeller.

leave the outboard in vertical position long
enough to completely drain the powerhead. If
equipped, disconnect the speedometer pick-

throttle to return to IDLE position. Outboard
continues to run at slow idle speed.
3)
Top off oil tank.
Extra engine oil is used during the winteriza-
tion procedure. Some excess oil may appear
on the skeg below the gearcase area. This is
normal.
Avoid potential oil stains by placing a shop
towel or suitable container under the propel-
ler and skeg for the duration of the storage.
After outboard runs for another 15 sec-
onds, press foot throttle to HALF THROT-
TLE position. Outboard will accelerate to
fast idle speed and fog itself.
Allow outboard to run until it shuts itself
OFF automatically (less than one minute).
Winterization is complete when outboard
shuts itself off.

If the outboard DOES NOT shut itself
off, you may not have allowed enough run-
ning time at a throttle position.
•
If the engine exceeds 3000 RPM, the out-
board may have been shifted into gear.
In either event, immediately turn key switch
OFF and re-start the procedure.
