Winterization prepares your outboard for
long-term off-season storage. During winter-
ization, the engine is “fogged” and extra oil is
used to coat internal engine components.
Winterization requires a specific process of
steps.
For binnacle or concealed side mount
controls, press fast idle button and ad-
vance throttle handle to HALF throttle posi-
tion. Start the outboard. Outboard runs at
slow idle speed.
Closely follow the applicable winterization
procedure for your outboard:
•

•
Remote control
Tiller control
Remote control with foot throttle
If you are unsure which procedure is right for
you, contact your Dealer for assistance.
You can confirm your outboard enters winter-
ization mode when the engine runs at fast idle
and:
•
The SystemCheck gauge lights flash (if Binnacle Control – Typical
equipped).
The I-Command gauge displays winteriza-
tion message (if equipped).
•
Preparation
Your outboard can be winterized in the water.
If winterizing in water, make sure the water
intake screens are completely submerged.

Stabilize the engine’s fuel supply. Add 2+4
Fuel Conditioner following instructions on
container. Fill fuel tank.
