LONG-TERM STORAGE
(WINTERIZATION)
WARNING
Outboard must be in NEUTRAL before performing
winterization. Starting outboard in gear can cause
personal injury.
If winterizing on a trailer, the propeller must be
removed before performing procedure. Failure to
remove propeller can cause personal injury or
death.
3)
4)
After outboard runs for another 15 seconds, advance
throttle grip to HALF THROTTLE position. Outboard will
accelerate to fast idle speed and fog itself.
Allow outboard to run until it shuts itself OFF automati-
cally (less than one minute).
Winterization prepares your outboard for long-term off-sea-
son storage. During winterization, the engine is “fogged”
and extra oil is used to coat internal engine components.
Winterization is complete when outboard shuts itself off.
•
If the outboard DOES NOT shut itself off, you may
not have properly advanced throttle grip.
Winterization requires a specific process of steps.
You can confirm your outboard enters winterization mode
when the engine runs at fast idle and:
• If the engine exceeds 3000 RPM, the outboard may
have been shifted into gear.
•
•
The SystemCheck gauge lights flash (if equipped).
The I-Command gauge displays winterization message
(if equipped).
In either event, immediately press STOP button to turn
outboard OFF and re-start the procedure.
Preparation
Your outboard can be winterized in the water. If winteriz-
ing in water, make sure the water intake screens are com-
pletely submerged.

3)
Stabilize the engine’s fuel supply. Add 2+4 Fuel
Conditioner following instructions on container. Fill fuel
tank.
If winterizing on a trailer, remove the propeller. Attach
a garden hose to flushing port and turn on the water.
Refer to SHORT-TERM STORAGE on page 34.
Outboard must be in NEUTRAL, and shift linkage must
be in NEUTRAL position at all times during winteriza-
tion procedure.
Tiller Control Outboards
1)
Advance throttle grip to HALF THROTTLE position.
Start the outboard. Outboard runs at slow idle speed.
Tiller Control – Typical
2)
After outboard runs for about 15 seconds, move throttle
grip to IDLE position. Outboard continues to run at slow
idle speed.
