OPERATION IN SALT WATER
After operating the motor in salt water, you should flush the water passages with clean, fresh water as outlined in the FLUSHING THE WATER PASSAGES section. If you do not flush the water passages, salt can corrode the motor and shorten its life.
OPERATION IN FREEZING WEATHER
When operating your outboard motor in freezing temperatures, you should keep the lower unit submerged in the water at all times.
When taking motor out of the water, stand it up in a vertical position until the cooling system drains completely
If you leave your outboard motor out of the water in freezing temperatures with water still in the cooling system, the water can freeze and expand, causing severe damage to the motor.
When your outboard is in the water in freezing temperatures, keep the lower unit submerged in the water at all times. When the motor is stored out of the water in freezing temperatures stand it up in the vertical position so that the cooling system drains completely.
