STORAGE
Remote Control Outboards with Foot
Throttle
IMPORTANT: When winterizing is finished, leave the out-
board in vertical position long enough to completely drain
the powerhead. If equipped, disconnect the speedometer
pickup at the upper connection and blow all water out of the
hose using air pressure of 25 psi or less. Reconnect speed-
ometer pickup after all the water has been removed.
1)
Press foot throttle to HALF THROTTLE position. Start
the outboard. Outboard runs at slow idle speed.
3)
Top off oil tank.
Extra engine oil is used during the winterization proce-
dure. 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 suit-
able container under the propeller and skeg for the dura-
tion of the storage.
Foot Throttle – Typical

3)
4)
After outboard runs for about 15 seconds, remove foot
from foot throttle and allow throttle to return to IDLE po-
sition. Outboard continues to run at slow idle speed.
After outboard runs for another 15 seconds, press foot
throttle to HALF THROTTLE position. Outboard will ac-
celerate to fast idle speed and fog itself.
Allow outboard to run until it shuts itself OFF automati-
cally (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 running time at a throttle posi-
tion.
•
If the engine exceeds 3000 RPM, the outboard may
have been shifted into gear.
In either event, immediately turn key switch OFF and re-
start the procedure.
After Winterization – All Outboards
1)
After the outboard shuts itself off, turn key switch OFF.
(For tiller models, remove emergency stop clip / key
switch.) Do not start the outboard again after winteriza-
tion is completed.
2)
If winterizing on a trailer, turn off water and detach
garden hose. Grease propeller shaft splines with rec-
ommended lubricant, and re-install propeller.
