Protecting Internal Engine Components
NOTE: Before performing Steps 1 and 2, make sure the fuel system has been prepared for
storage.
1. Change the engine oil.
2. Place the outboard in water or connect flushing attachment for circulating cooling water.
Start the engine and let it run in neutral to warm up.
3. With engine running at fast idle, stop the fuel flow by disconnecting the remote fuel line.
When engine begins to stall, quickly spray Quicksilver Storage Seal into carburetor until
engine stops from lack of fuel.
4. Remove the spark plugs and inject a five second spray of Quicksilver Storage Seal
around the inside of each cylinder.
5. Rotate the flywheel manually several times to distribute the storage seal in the cylinders.
Reinstall spark plugs.
Gear Case
Drain and refill the gear case lubricant (refer to maintenance procedure).
Positioning Outboard for Storage
1. Carry, transport or store the outboard only in these two positions. These positions will
prevent oil from draining out of the crankcase.
a. Upright
b. Tiller Side Down

2. Never carry, store or transport the outboard in these positions. Engine damage could
result from oil draining out of the crankcase.
CAUTION
If outboard is on a boat and is stored tilted up in freezing temperature, trapped cool-
ing water or rain water that may have entered the propeller exhaust outlet in the gear
case could freeze and cause damage to the outboard.
