STORAGE Storage Preparation The major consideration in preparing your outboard for storage is to protect it from rust, corrosion, and damage caused by freezing of trapped water. The following storage procedures should be followed to prepare your outboard for out of season storage or prolonged storage (two months or longer). ! CAUTION Never start or operate your outboard (even momentarily) without water circulating through all the cooling water intake holes in the gearcase to prevent damage to the water pump (running dry) or overheating of the engine. FUEL SYSTEM IMPORTANT: Gasoline containing alcohol (ethanol or methanol) can cause a formation of acid during storage and can damage the fuel system. If the gasoline being used contains alcohol, it is advisable to drain as much of the remaining gasoline as possible from the fuel tank, remote fuel line, and engine fuel system. IMPORTANT: This outboard is equipped with a closed fuel system when the engine is not running. With this closed system, fuel within the engine's fuel system, other than the fuel tank, will remain stable during normal storage periods without the addition of fuel treatment stabilizers. Fill the fuel tank and engine fuel system with treated (stabilized) fuel to help prevent formation of varnish and gum. Proceed with the following instructions. • Portable Fuel Tank ‑ Pour the required amount of Fuel System Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on container) into fuel tank. Tip fuel tank back and forth to mix stabilizer with the fuel. • Permanently Installed Fuel Tank ‑ Pour the required amount of Fuel System Treatment and Stabilizer (follow instructions on container) into a separate container and mix with approximately one liter (one quart) of gasoline. Pour this mixture into fuel tank. Tube Ref No. 124 Description Fuel System Treatment & Stabilizer 103 Where Used Part No. Fuel tank 802875A1 STORAGE Protecting External Outboard Components • • Touch up any paint nicks. See your dealer for touch‑up paint. Spray Quicksilver or Mercury Precision Lubricants Corrosion Guard on external metal surfaces (except corrosion control anodes). Tube Ref No. 120 Description Corrosion Guard Where Used Part No. External metal surfaces 92-802878-5 5 Protecting Internal Engine Components IMPORTANT: Refer to Maintenance ‑ Spark Plug Inspection and Replacement for correct procedure for removing spark plugs. • Remove pencil coils and spark plugs. • Spray approximately 30 ml (1 fl. oz.) of Storage Seal Rust Inhibitor into each spark plug hole. Tube Ref No. 119 • • Description Storage Seal Rust Inhibitor Where Used Part No. Spark plug holes 92-802878-5 6 Actuate key/push button start switch to crank the engine through one start cycle, which will distribute the storage seal throughout the cylinders. Reinstall spark plugs and pencil coils. Gearcase • Drain and refill the gearcase lubricant (refer to Maintenance ‑ Gearcase Lubrication). Positioning Outboard For Storage Store outboard in an upright (vertical) position to allow water to drain out of outboard. ! CAUTION If outboard is stored tilted up in freezing temperature, trapped cooling water or rain water that may have entered the propeller exhaust outlet in the gearcase could freeze and cause damage to the outboard. 104 STORAGE Battery Storage • • • • Follow the battery manufacturer's instructions for storage and recharging. Remove the battery from the boat and check water level. Recharge if necessary. Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Periodically check the water level and recharge the battery during storage. 105
