Be sure the outboard is securely fas-
tened to the transom or a stable stand.
You could be severely injured if the
outboard falls on you.

Never get under the lower unit while it
is tilted, even when the tilt-support
lever/knob is locked. Severe injury
could occur if the outboard acciden-
tally falls.

drain plug is at the lowest point possible.
2) Place a suitable container under the
gear-case.

The oil drain plug is magnetic. Remove all
metal particles from the plug before rein-
stalling it.

drained. If the oil is milky, water is getting

repair of the lower unit seals.
