in corrosion of internal components such as

Once an outboard has been submerged in
fresh or salt water, it must be serviced and
started within three (3) hours of recovery. Im-
mediate service can minimize the corrosive
effect that air has on the polished surfaces of
the crankshaft, connecting rods, and internal
powerhead bearings.

position.
Slowest idle position
IMPORTANT: If the outboard cannot be start-
ed or serviced immediately, it should be re-
submerged in fresh water to avoid exposure
to the atmosphere.
Tilt outboard to the full tilt position and turn so
the drain valves are on the lowest side.
CAUTION
To avoid outboard falling during de-
water procedure, tilt/run lever MUST
remain in the TILT position.
