STORAGE PREPARATION
Proper storage preparation is essential for keeping your outboard motor trouble-free and looking good.
The following steps will help to keep rust and corrosion from impairing your outboard motor’s function and appearance, and will make the engine easier to start when you use the outboard motor again.
Cleaning and Flushing
Thoroughly clean and flush the outboard motor with fresh water after operation in dirty water or salt water.
Touch up any damaged paint, and coat areas that may rust with Honda
Corrosion Inhibitor, or equivalent.
Lubricate controls with a silicone spray lubricant.
such as the AC generator, HO2S sensor, or the AC generator belt. If water or corrosion inhibitor penetrates these components, they may be damaged. Bef ore applying a corrosion inhibitor, cover the AC generator, belt and HO2S sensor with a protective material to prevent damage.
Cleaning
Wash the outside of the outboard motor with clean, fresh water, and flush the cooling system as follows.
Flushing With a Garden Hose
(commercially available)
Do not run the engine when f lushing the outboard motor with a garden hose or the outboard motor may be damaged.
Do not apply water or corrosion inhibitor directly to the electrical components under the engine cover,

For safety, remove the emergency stop switch clip so the engine cannot be started while you are standing near the propeller.

After flushing, disconnect the garden hose and reconnect the flush port connector.
7.
Tilt up the outboard motor and move the tilt lock lever to the
LOCK position.
Fuel
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline will cause hard starting, and it leaves gum deposits that clog the fuel system. If the gasoline in your fuel tank and vapor separator deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the vapor separator and other fuel system components serviced or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can be left in your fuel tank and vapor separator without causing functional problems will vary with such factors as gasoline blend, your storage temperatures, and whether the fuel tank is partially or completely filled.
The air in a partially filled fuel tank promotes fuel deterioration. Very warm storage temperatures accelerate fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if the gasoline was not fresh when you filled the fuel tank.

You can extend fuel storage life by adding a gasoline stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose, or you can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining all the fuel from the fuel tank and vapor separator.

damage or engine performance problems resulting from neglected storage preparation.
Adding a Fuel Stabilizer
When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keep an additional container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline.
1.
Drain the vapor separator before adding fuel stabilizer.
2.
Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer’s instructions.
3.
After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine in water for 10 minutes to be sure that the treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the vapor separator.
4.
Turn the engine OFF.
Draining the Fuel System
You can avoid fuel deterioration problems by draining the fuel tank and vapor separator.

1.
Unhook the drain hose from the front bracket clamp.
2.
Set the end of the hose toward the outside of the engine undercase.
Place an approved gasoline container below the fuel drain outlet, and use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel.
3.
Loosen the vapor separator drain screw.
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
Stop the engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away.
Handle fuel only outdoors.
Wipe up spills immediately.
STORAGE
4.
Tilt the outboard motor up all the way. Leave the outboard motor tilted up until the gasoline stops flowing.
5.
After thoroughly draining, tighten the drain screw securely and return the outboard motor to the vertical position.
6.
Clamp the drain hose on the front bracket clamp.
7.
Drain the fuel tank into an approved gasoline container or, if you need to store fuel in the fuel tank, you can extend fuel storage life by filling the fuel tank with fresh gasoline and adding a fuel stabilizer that is formulated for that purpose.
Engine Oil
1.
Change the engine oil and the oil

and remove the emergency stop switch clip from the emergency stop switch.
3.
Pour 1 − 2 teaspoons (5 − 10 cm )

each cylinder.
4.
Rotate the engine a few revolutions to distribute the oil in the cylinders.

2.
Attach the hoist hooks to the lifting eyes.
3.
Disconnect the outboard motor from the boat, hoist the outboard motor, and move it to the storage area.
4.
After the outboard motor is placed in storage and disconnected from the hoist, install the engine cover.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Select a well-ventilated storage area.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity.
If storing a container of gasoline, store it away from any appliance that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.

OUTBOARD MOTOR STAND
If the outboard motor will be removed from the boat for storage, we recommend storing it vertically by mounting it on a commercially available stand.
PROTECTOR
If it is necessary to store the outboard motor horizontally as shown, drain
removing the outboard motor from the boat.
Rest the outboard motor on a cushion of protective material.
Cover the outboard motor to keep out dust. Do not use plastic sheet as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture, promoting rust and corrosion.
STORAGE
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check your outboard motor as described in the
BEFORE
OPERATION
chapter of this manual.
If the cylinders were coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup.
This is normal.
