The procedures involve disassembling
the motor and exposing dangerous parts.
To reduce the risk of injury from moving,
hot, or electrical parts:
● Turn off the engine and keep the key(s)
and engine shut-off cord (lanyard) with
you when you perform maintenance un-
less otherwise specified.

When flushing the engine with the boat in
the water, tilting up the outboard motor un-
til it is completely out of the water will
achieve better results.
For cooling system flushing instructions,

ate even when the ignition key is off.
Keep people away from the switches
whenever working around the motor.
When the motor is tilted, keep away
from the area under it or between it and
the clamp bracket. Be sure no one is in
this area before operating the power
trim and tilt mechanism.
