TRANSPORTING THE OUTBOARD
TRANSPORTING / STORAGE
WARNING
If engine is equipped with a quick-
disconnect fuel hose, you MUST dis-
connect the fuel hose from the
engine and the fuel tank to prevent
fuel leaks:
If the outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage, the oiling system must be primed
before reusing the outboard. Refer to Prim-
ing the Oil System on page 20. Then per-
form Long-Term Storage (Winterization) to
prime the oiling system.

Whenever the engine is in storage
If the outboard is laid down for transportation
or storage, it should be laid on its back.
If the engine is transported laying on its side,
protect the motor covers, by laying it on an
old blanket or other soft cloth.
NOTE: A small amount of fuel may
be released when the fuel connector
is disconnected.
Store portable fuel tanks in well-ven-
tilated areas, away from heat
sources and open flames. Close the
vent screw of the fuel tank cap, if
equipped, to prevent escape of fuel
or fuel vapors which could acciden-
tally ignite. Do not allow discon-
nected fuel hoses to leak fuel.
TRAILERING
Trailer your boat with the outboard in a verti-
cal position. If your trailer does not provide ad-
equate road clearance, tilt the outboard as
needed and support the outboard with an ac-
cessory trailering bracket.
