Cruising in other conditions

Cruising in salt water

After operating in salt water, flush the cooling

water passages with fresh water to prevent

them from becoming clogged. Also rinse the

outside of the outboard motor with fresh wa-

ter and, if possible, rinse the power head un-

der the cowling.

Cruising in muddy, turbid, or acidic water

Yamaha strongly recommends that you use

the optional chromium-plated water pump kit

(see page 14) if you use the outboard motor

in acidic water or water with a lot of sediment

in it, such as muddy or turbid (cloudy) water.

After operating in such water, flush the cool-

ing passages with fresh water to prevent cor-

rosion. Also rinse the outside of the outboard

motor with fresh water.
