Bringing Out of Storage
When launching your boat for the first time or when starting out a new season, always carry out the steps provided
in the following checklist:
21201
Reinstall all engine drain plugs.
Reconnect any hoses removed for storage.
Check condition of hoses; tighten clamps
and connections.
Install boat drain plug, if removed.
Remove and inspect distributor cap and
rotor. Replace distributor with a new one, if
necessary.
Clean battery terminals and connections.
Check battery for correct charge.
With ignition switch and/or battery switch in
OFF position, install battery and attach bat-
tery cables.
Open the fuel shut-off valve and check fuel
system for leaks.
Check the flame arrestor and clean if nec-
essary (please see the Do it Yourself manual
for additional information).
Pump the bilge dry and air out engine com-
partment. Federal, state, and/or local regu-
lations prohibit the pumping of oil into any
navigable waters.
Check all oil and fluid levels and fill as nec-
essary.
Check drive, transom shield, and heat
exchanger anodes. Clean or replace as nec-
essary.
If oil and filter were not changed for storage,
do it now.
If sterndrive oil was not changed for storage,
do it now.
If the impeller was removed for storage, rein-
stall it now. If the impeller is due for replace-
ment, install a new one now.
