11. CLEANING AND FLUSHING
After each use in salt water or dirty
water, thoroughly clean and flush the
outboard motor with fresh water.
Do not apply water or corrosion
inhibitor directly to the belt and
electrical components under the
engine cover, such as the timing
belt or O2 sensor. If water or
corrosion inhibitor penetrates these
components, they may be damaged.
Before applying a corrosion
inhibitor, cover the belt and O2
sensor with a protective material to
prevent damage.
• For safety, the propeller must be
removed.
• Be sure the outboard motor is
securely mounted, and do not
leave it unattended while
running.
• Keep children and pets away
from the area, and stay clear of
moving parts during this
procedure.
Running the engine without water
can cause serious engine damage
due to overheating. Be sure that
water flows from the cooling water
check hole while the engine is
running. If not, stop the engine and
determine the cause of the problem.
