During operation in freezing weather, keep
the gearcase submerged at all times.
Upon removing your outboard from the water,
leave it in a vertical position until its cooling
system is drained. Store the outboard verti-
cally.
If the outboard’s gearcase is equipped with an
integral speedometer pickup, all water must
be cleared from the hose to prevent gearcase
damage. Refer to Storage on page 38.
WARNING
Water remaining in the gearcase, cool-
ing system or other components can
freeze, causing serious engine dam-
age.
