SALT WATER
weeds from propeller area and water intakes
before operating at higher speed.
Upon removal from salt water, leave outboard
in a vertical position until its cooling system
has drained. During long periods of mooring,
tilt the gearcase out of the water, except in
freezing temperatures. Flush the outboard, if
desired. Refer to Flushing on page 32.
WARNING
When
servicing
the
propeller,
always shift the outboard to NEU-
TRAL and remove the clip and lan-
yard so the engine cannot be started
accidentally.

WEEDY WATER
Weeds block water intakes and may cause
your outboard to overheat. Weeds on the pro-
peller create vibration and reduce boat speed.
When operating in weedy water, run at slow
speeds and in REVERSE frequently to clear
weeds from the propeller and water intakes.
Check the water pump indicator often.
If REVERSE operation does not clear away
weeds, SHUT OFF the engine. Remove
